Of these:
The Chelsea Clinton joke is marginal - it's out of line, but it's the kind of joke that people make every day without second thought. It is only "bad" because of his stature, which doesn't really excite or interest me.
The two racial incidents are issues - I'm not sure whether "tarbaby" is used in a fashion that would make sense here in other parts of the country, so I can't really speak, but obviously the term "gook" is inappropriate, even considering his imprisonment. He's noted he was speaking only about his captors, and while being a POW must have sucked and I can't really expect him to forget or ignore that, he should probably never use that term in public. However, there was no outcry by Asian-American groups about his campaign, so I'm not sure where to go from here. These two are the actual issues - not a Janet Reno joke, of which similar jokes were made every night on national television.
However, the rest? Seriously? You're reaching badly - stick to the racial slurs, and not "walking through the streets of Baghdad." What do you expect the guy to say?

Dude...if I walked thru the most dangerous streets in the world with 100 soldiers, snipers, gunships and Jack Bauer, I guess those streets WOULD be safe!
It's not reaching...it ridiculous...let me drop him off in West Baltimore by himself, he would shyt himself before he said he was safe....
