John McCain Tweets Something Racist and Unfunny, Tells Everyone to ‘Lighten Up’

1. I personally, thought it was funny, and agree you people should lighten up.

2. Good ‘ole John McCain. He’s still working hard to make sure the rest of the world thinks that all Arizonians are backwoods redneck morons. Hopefully that quest will end soon when his overdue or forced retirement kicks in. He & Jon Kyl can sit around the Olympic sized pool in one of their many ill-gotten mansions and trade these words of wisdom between themselves while sipping martinis and (hopefully) keeping away from the rest of us. I know this is overly wishful thinking, but my dream is the dream of many others.

3. Proof it is that McCain really does have the sensitivity of a, say, Mitt Romney.

4. Believe me, McCain does NOT have a sense of humor.

5. ride off into the sunset , with the rest of the over the hill out of touch GOPs.

6. McCain is so far out of touch with Arizona and the world, but this was funny. And those posting hatred for the GOP, you are just as patheticas the Democrats are no better.

7. Can anyone explain how this is racist?

8. Old white guy calls a guy of a different ethnicity a monkey.

   Personally, I’d have preferred if he went with some other animal epithet–calling him the first jackass in space, perhaps? I’d at least find the outcry from Democrats funny. Really, there are any number of directions he could’ve gone, and he went with one that was unfunny and made some Arab-Americans uncomfortable.

9. I thought it was funny. Too bad they destroyed a monkey, they should have sent Ahmadinejad into space.

10. @ David Mendez. He couldn’t go with jackass, because then he wouldnt have the link for delivering the punchline!

    I think it was a perfect joke, and funny, and I am in NO WAY a McCain supporter.

    Also, people are way too quick to pull the racist trigger. Monkey can have many, many other meanings besides a racist slur.

    A few examples:

    1. Monkey can mean female genitalia. – Maybe he was calling him a pussy.

    2. It can also mean dolt, or idiot. I have heard many a white men say something to the effect of “Let me deal with this monkey” while referring to another white man.

    3. A furry animal with destructive tendencies – alla Osama Bin Ladin

    4. Poo Flinger. – Maybe the gentleman in question, literally throws his shit when annoyed, do we know he doesnt?

    Lay off, lighten up, who gives a shit. You think 1,000,000 other countries government officials don;t speak ill of our nation leader(s)? And best believe there are no Iranians, crying racist if one of them calls Obama a monkey.

11. Are you kidding? You call someone a jackass, throw in the monkey link, then make a comment about them wanting to start an animal menagerie in space. Boom. Comment that makes a segment of the population uncomfortable avoided.

    But I think we can close the book on this one, agreeing to disagree.

12. REALLY?? He says this and expects other “good little republicans” to accept his new immigration without protest even though Americans are struggling hard enough

    I can’t be that good little republican any longer – when they talk the talk and won’t walk the walk

13. Why would Arab-americans be upset with this? David you are the racsist! Iranians are not Arabs and calling them such is worse than calling their president a monkey. Please apologize to the PERSIAN people!

14. Every once in a while, an Alzheimer’s patient has a lucid interval… why blast the late great Senator from Arizona for having a LUCID INTERVAL…lol

15. John McCain is an international embarrassment to our country and state. Can’t the leadership of the Republican party force him to resign?
