The mystery is this: Is John McCain secretly a white supremacist? No
American wants to believe it, but one cannot help asking this question
after reading Gook.
The racial slur "gook" has a secret history of its own, evolving from
war to war, from the U.S. conquest of the Philippines to its
occupation of Haiti, to North African colonial conflicts, to the
Korean War. The epithet reached a crescendo during the Vietnam War and
then infiltrated the common American vocabulary.
Asian American author Irwin A. Tang writes of his own frightening run-
ins with the KKK as a child, but he pulls no punches in chronicling
the disturbing history of John McCain's relationships with white
supremacists and racist, warmongering preachers.
"John McCain supported the rescinding of Martin Luther King Day while
sending his own money to terrorists in Nicaragua," said Tang. "That
sums up the entire notion of the word 'gook.' Some people, whether
they are black Americans or Asian or Latino peasants, are simply
subhuman to the most powerful, most cynical politicians."
Gook examines McCain's partnering with leading white supremacist
Richard Quinn, as well as McCain's endorsement of hate group lecturer
George Wallace, Jr. for lieutenant governor, both actions fitting with
his support for the Confederate flag as an official state symbol.
I hate the gooks, said John McCain, I will hate them as long as I
live. Senator McCain said these words when asked about his continued
use of the racial slur, "gook."
John McCain has told us who he is.
John McCain supported the rescinding of Martin Luther King Day.
John McCain keeps on his payroll white supremacists, race-baiting
swiftboaters and lobbyists for dictators and terrorists. John McCain
endorsed George Wallace, Jr., a favorite speaker among white
supremacists. He fought to keep the Confederate battle flag flying
over South Carolina. He seems to subscribe to a brand of religion-
inspired bellicosity that calls for the U.S. to wage war for the sake
of imparting our values upon humanity. McCain promised to immediately
start wars in North Korea, Libya, and Iraq during his first
presidential campaign, and in 2008 he has promised new wars to come.
He sent his own money to the contra guerillas, and even visited their
illegal war camp. War is the way of John McCain, and racial bias makes
it easy to execute those wars. Long before George W. Bush became
president, McCain planned an invasion of Iraq. He lobbied for an Iraq
invasion just days after 9/11, and when it came time to convince the
American people, he insisted that the Iraq War would be easily won.
The combination of racism and warmongering are perfectly encapsulated
in gook, a racist term formed during numerous U.S. wars, from the
invasion of the Philippines (1898-1902) to the occupation of Haiti in
1920, to the Korean and Vietnam Wars. John McCain used this anti-Asian
slur freely with the media until he was forced to stop for fear of
sabotaging his own presidential ambitions. The portrait of John McCain
painted in Gook is far more disturbing than any racial epithet. A
central thesis of Gook: war fertilizes racism, and racism justifies
wars and the killing of civilians. This dynamic thrives within the
most dangerous leaders of the world. Is John McCain one of them?
