He's only describing the pricks that did this... I think it certainly is.

EDIT - Or, put yourself in the victim's shoes here... would you use the same language? I'm gonna guess that most if not all of you wouldn't... and if I'm right, why wouldn't you?
That's my problem with it. Why does he have to use a race based term? Why can't he say s or dirtbags or worse that doesn't have any attachment to race?

By the way I don't think that Mccain is a racist. I do feel that he shouldn't use that term as it is offensive and he should be intelligent enough to not use it.
