Here is an interesting article that I about McCain's history of racist, misogynist, and homophobic jokes and comments. Apparently he has a long track record with this sort of thing, which isn't surprising considering just a few weeks ago he was in some hot water for joking about entering his wife in a bikini contest: apparently he only sees women as sex objects.
Here is a nice quote from the
article:

McCain loved to make African Americans, Vietnamese, Gay citizens, Hispanics the blunt of his racist jokes with friends at Bullfeathers, using blunt language like "fag", "queer", "nigger", "spic", "wetback" or "gook" in his jokes at Bullfeathers. Yet McCain lies to the public and now claims that he has no racist instincts. Yesterday, one of his campaign managers, Senator Lindsay Graham(R-SC) also lied to the nation about McCain's long history of racism on FOX NEWS SUNDAY claiming that McCain hasn't a "racist bone in his body". Yet the jokes of John McCain and his voting record on civil rights issues certainly prove that Senator Graham is clearly not telling the truth.

I find this unfortunate considering just recently I, an Obama supporter, was trying to convince my girlfriend that McCain was not all of these things, which she thought he was because of his age. I thought she was being rather ignorant and I chastised her; apparently she was right.
