In South Carolina, you had this guy, this professor, at Bob Jones University sending thousands of e-mails all over the state saying I had fathered an illegitimate child, Mr. McCain said, with his wife, Cindy, sitting across the aisle on the campaign bus.
Mr. McCain said the professor later said he was referring to the 8-year-old Sri Lankan girl the McCains adopted several years ago.
It's disgusting, despicable stuff, Mr. McCain said.
Clearly, the intent of this email (along with the push poll mentioned in the Karl Rove entry here) was to project the false image that McCain's daughter was a half-black and half-white biracial. It is beyond disgusting that an educator would see an eight year old girl as appropriate bait for racist voters. If Professor Hand had any dignity and integrity he would spend the rest of his days making it up to that little girl. That is, if he were a real man.
Picking on a child and subjecting her family to the scrutiny of racists in order to gain votes for a politician is pretty low and mighty un-Christian of the proud Bob Jones University professor. I suppose he feels like a big man for picking on the little brown girl from Bangladesh. I personally feel sickened and disgusting that such a man shares the same planet as I.
There is really nothing that this horrible person could do to make up for his incredibly nasty behaviour. Perhaps he can seek solace in the fact that his racist intent was showcased on a global stage. If anything, he will be remembered long after he is dead as a petty and racist individual who used eight year old girls for political gain.
And he teaches at Bob Jones University. Go figure.
I have had Dr. Hand as a teacher and as a close personal friend for 15 years. He is a man of the utmost integrity and kindness. He has a sweet godly wife, and together they have raised 4 beautiful children. I do not know what your issues or dealings with Dr. Hand might be, but I can assure you, there are always two sides to a story and to attack his character in this manner on a public website, is certainly no better than what you claim he might have done to you.
Oh give me a fucking break. You clearly didn’t read what he did. He attacked McCain and USED HIS CHILD for political points because the child was not white. Do not defend his racist attack on a CHILD to me. Ask him why he felt he had the right to do that. There are no “two sides” to being a racist. Allegedly “Godly” people can be pretty racist when they want to be. What is wrong with you????? Never mind, I already know. Also, kindly take that soft-pedaling of white supremacy somewhere else. I don’t owe you any consideration for your ignorance or collusion.
