I can't support or validate that. It's an inherently racist statement. You've just said yourself that you're "racist against terrorists"... and that all middle easterners are either terrorists or potential terrorists. This is not only an intellectually flawed position, but a morally dishonest one. In one breath you claim not to be a racist, but then you say in so many words that you are. How, then, does this track with your condemnation of Cruz Bustamante?

Can you honestly tell me you don't like anything? Of course not. We all hate something and racism is basically hatred. I hate terrorist countries. End of story. I don't give a flying shit what color their skin is. How many fucking times do I have to tell you it's all about terrorists/terrorism and countries who hide and give cash to terrorists, not skin color. Maybe you forgot about all the women and children who cheered about 9/11, but I didn't and I won't. Those kids are potential terrorists and the women will potentially raise terrorists. All I know is their way of life needs to go before mine. Their way of living needs to be changed as quickly and as brutally as possible. The entire Middle East is fucked up and if innocent people have to die to change the way things are done over there then I'm all for it because in the long run it'll be worth it.

Fair enough. I'll be back this evening. In case you lose track, my point here is that you have no moral authority to condemn Cruz Bustamante on grounds of racism, much less any objective evidence or personal knowledge to make that claim. And, further, that even if you did, that your point about 26 years being enough to purge past sins would by default exonerate Bustamante himself.

I'll give you credit. That makes perfect sense. I'll forget about what Bustamante was into if you don't bring up what Arnold did 26 years ago. That sounds perfectly fair to me. For the record, I don't really care for how either one of them lived their lives 26 years ago.
Can I use something that is only 2 years old?

But if Bustamante wants to win over the state's African-American voters, he'd better hope they don't remember an embarrassing incident from two years ago when the gubernatorial hopeful blurted out the "N" word during a tribute to Black History Month.
"This word comes out of my mouth, and I didn't know what to do," Bustamante told the San Francisco Chronicle the next day. "I kept going on with my speech - when I got done, I just stood there. I couldn't believe what came out of my mouth."
Bustamante, whose popularity among Latinos could make him the state's next governor, was addressing an annual awards dinner and scholarship fund raiser for the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists. After the anti-black gaffe, about 100 people - 25 percent of the audience - got up and left.
"I was appalled that he would even say it as a slip," one audience member told the Chronicle. "You don't make a slip like that unless you use it normally."
Bustamante, who has made improving race relations the cornerstone of his career, told the paper he was "mortified" but offered no other excuse for using the anti-black racial slur.
Throughout his Black History Month tribute, which catalogued the accomplishments of America's civil rights leaders, the gubernatorial wannabe repeatedly used the word "Negro," reported the Chronicle, "which was not considered offensive given the historical context."
"At one point, however, Bustamante used the n-word," the paper said.
"I've struggled all weekend to explain it to myself," the angst-ridden Democrat said. "How can I explain it to you."

That was just a section of the article. I don't know about you but I've
never accidentally said that word. Wouldn't you agree that only racist people who hate
blacks say that word? Or maybe it's different where you come from.
Lastly, Arnold is losing almost all support that I once had because he is dodging every issue. He shoulda been more organized than what he is. He's beginning to look just as dumb as everyone else.
