It is rude to those people...and besides you don't have a leg to stand on as long as they don;t use the N word.
It is all about the N word....if you don't use it you are not a racist...

3. Hell, John McCain was born in.....PANAMA!!!!!!

6. Ah, but it was because his father's first amendment rights were being infringed, don't you see?

For Libertarians and Teabaggers, that means that he was a real Freedumb Fighter just like Jesse Ventura who moved to Mexico himself to escape the tyrannical and illegal and un-American USA government! And probably to get away from the IRS, so it's all good! Wow, I can see the Teflon all the way up here...

run for president.
