Calling Bull---- on McCain

When McCain at Saddleback that only America had made sacrifices for other people's freedom, my wife and I both said bull---- (we didn't speak dashes) at the TV. Our first thought was the non-US troops who have been in Afghanistan fighting by our side since the beginning, including French troops.

The fact is the anti-French attitude of many Americans, and seemingly all conservatives, is just another form of bigotry.
