Che McCain

UPDATE: I’m a little surprised that this post generated dozens of comments. Most are well reasoned, and many are funny. It doesn’t bother me that many of you are passionate McCain supporters and want to get your shots in, just as it didn’t bother me that Frank was a passionate Thompson supporter and he let me get my shots in. I don’t quite get, however, the comments that the post is somehow bigoted or xenophobic. It has absolutely nothing to do with McCain’s immigration stance or race. It has to do with the cult of personality, and a twist on Che t-shirts. If you’re a McCain supporter, why don’t you explain why he is such a great candidate, rather than hiding behind a weak and stretching argument that any contrary opinion is somehow based on hating Mexicans. (Incidentally, Che was Argentinian, and is famous for his relation to Cuba, not Mexico). If you think you are going to convince anyone he is a great candidate by hiding behind accusations of “race baiting” in regard to anyone who disagrees with his positions, you are deluded and not terribly bright. Didn’t that argument fail miserably once already in connection with the non-amnesty/amnesty debate a couple months ago, when moderates tried to guilt the conservative wing of the party into supporting bad legislation? It’s not racist to want border security. Its not racist to expect that people who live in this country should abide by the law. Of course, none of those issues are even raised in this post anyway. So, I guess, if you think they are, piss off–you’re probably too stupid for this site, and that’s saying something.
