Overly Sensitive
So John McCain commented saying that Ahmedinejad was a monkey. The comment was in reference to the fact that the Iranian government has sent a monkey into space and that Ahmedinejad said that he wants to be the first Iranian in space. McCain said, “So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space – wasn’t he just there last week? “Iran launches monkey into space”"
McCain was immediately attacked and called racist and insensitive by another Republican senator, Justin Amash. OK, let me make two things clear. First of all, I don’t care about McCain, he is a punk, but I also don’t care for all this sensitivity bullcrap. The comment was not racist. Ahmadinejad is a stupid looking guy, and he has sticking out ears just like Bush Jr. If it’s not racist to call Bush a monkey based on his looks + low intelligence then neither is it racist to call Ahmadenijad a monkey.
Ahmadenijad looks like a monkey, and he is a serious enemy of ours. Why spare his feelings? He’s a punk. Also, the US government defines all persons indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa as white, which I don’t think is justified but it does, so in US government-speak this isn’t racist, since McCain is also defined as white. I think that Iranians and Armenians should be classified as white but not Arabs or Turks.
Also, I doubt that the majority of Iranians would take offense to Ahmadinejad, a.k.a. Little Hitler being called a monkey. Most patriotic Iranians will tell you that Little Hitler is actually a Turk, and that his Farsi is not proper. Little Hitler was the enemy of the Iranian people before he was our enemy. Most Iranians do not want to be associated with that punk Durkadinejad. A lot of them are irritated that this clown has come to be the face of Iran as far as the international community is concerned.
Little Hitler should be disrespected. I’m tired of being told that we should respect and show sensitivity toward people who deserve neither. At some point the insanity has to stop.

In general, I always try to be respectful. Take the high road and all that. But I don’t see why it was a huge deal that McCain called him a monkey. I constantly refer to members of Congress as a bunch of monkeys with how incompetent they are.
