I'm somewhat right-leaning and this disgusts me

Bill O’Reilly and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ):

O’REILLY: But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I, and they want to bring in millions of foreign nationals to basically break down the structure that we have. In that regard, Pat Buchanan is right. So I say you’ve got to cap with a number.

MCCAIN: In America today we’ve got a very strong economy and low unemployment, so we need addition farm workers, including by the way agriculture, but there may come a time where we have an economic downturn, and we don’t need so many.

O’REILLY: But in this bill, you guys have got to cap it. Because estimation is 12 million, there may be 20 [million]. You don’t know, I don’t know. We’ve got to cap it.

MCCAIN: We do, we do. I agree with you.

freudian slip, maybe

How he feels, perhaps.

Pointing out the obvious. Yes.

It is what it is, what can you do.

I dont thinh he is trying to be racist I think he is merely being Mr. Obvious. I don’t think that the left is doing such and such for alterior motives but I do think that the comments he made weren’t in racist context, more again pointing out the obvious.

And McCain was talking about a cap on immigrants and workers not a cap on those trying to over throw some white authority. I think he genuinely cares for this nation.

I’m not anti-McCain (I’m also not going to vote for him) - what I was shocked about was O’Reilly. And he’s SUPPOSED to be shocking, but even in that context, it was more “wow, why don’t you tell us what you REALLY think would be fun to bring up at the next KKK meeting” - It almost seemed McCain just gave in and said he agreed to shut him up, do we want that in a potential President?

… but yeah - my intent in posting it wasn’t so much wanting to start a debate, and certainly not to slander John (we COULD do worse, Hillary WHAT) - I just found it shocking and disturbing.

I wasn’t debating it, I honestly think that O reily was merely pointing out something that is obvious and has been since the inception of this country.

Were his statements rooted in deeper emotions, who knows?
