Given my strong reaction to McCain's use of a racist term, I was somewhat surprised at how little outrage there was over his comment. As McCain heroically battles cancer, I am again thinking about his remarks -- but this time through a different prism. I find it easy now to forgive McCain's hurtful use of that racist word when balanced against the greater weight of his good deeds and bravery. McCain and I both have travelled long roads since he was imprisoned and I was bullied. He could have done better by never having used that racist term and apologizing more quickly.
