On the Leftists newest "Hero", John McCain...

As described in 2008 by the Huffington Post.

Quote:

McCain’s “heroism” stems uniquely from the fact that he was an obstreperous prisoner of war unwilling to cooperate with his captors. Undeniably thugs, McCain’s jailers resembled the jailers at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo in their sadism and lack of respect for international conventions guaranteeing rights to enemy combatants. That he refused an early release and was not “broken” by his captors does not make him George Washington, Sergeant York or even Audie Murphy.

McCain’s earlier and post-War years were ones of privilege, stature and mischief. He was by his own and all other accounts a cocky, drunken, gambling, whore mongering flyboy whose positions before and after the Vietnam War were arranged for by his family connections. His years as Naval Liaison to the US Senate allowed him to charm and ingratiate himself in the corridors of power which led to a vacant House seat being arranged for him in Arizona, where he had never visited let alone lived.

His family’s DNA is war. The McCain family history of grandfather, father, McCain himself and now his son being at war is essential to understanding his psyche.

He is Sparta and the rest of us are Athens.

A President McCain could well lead to the end of The American Century.

Quote:

McCain’s Smear Campaign Will Have an Impact Long After Election Day

Talk about the “fierce urgency of now.” While that phrase might have been been adopted by Barack Obama, it is equally suited — albeit differently applied — to describe the destructive campaign being undertaken by John McCain. Because McCain seems to be gunning to win the election, all future consequences be damned.

In the last few weeks, with McCain’s poor handling of the financial crisis, poor debate performances, and cynical pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate torpedoing his chances of winning the presidency, McCain unleashed himself and his minions on a dirty and reckless path of attacking Obama with lies, distortions and smears. McCain and Palin both repeatedly invoke socialism when describing Obama’s economic policies, even though you would be hard-pressed to find a reputable economist who would agree with that assertion, at least without lumping every president since Franklin Roosevelt into the socialism club. (And that doesn’t even take into account the most socialism-reminiscent thing to happen in recent history, the bank and corporate bailouts that were supported by George W. Bush and the Republican leaders of Congress. Are they socialists too?)

"Some folks are born made to the wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays 'Hail to the Chief'
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord"

-Creedence Clearwater Revival, circa 1969

Quote:

It’s all too late now. Not even the eloquent, stinging words of Powell on Meet the Press condemning the descent into the gutter of the McCain campaign can undo the damage that has already been done. McCain, in his tunnel-like view of the race, with its damn-the-future-win-today approach, has already released the poison of smear into the American atmosphere. It’s out there, forcing us to revisit McCarthy-like lies about socialism and Civil War- and Civil Rights-era notions of “real” Americans and being “not like us.”


Again, quoting a "lefty" writer. What gives?

Of course Republicans are racist, well Duh! Your orange fucking scumbag prick of a dickface, Trump, is racist. Tell me something new (and please don't say

Who gives a fuck!

I have a question there Six. Do you get paid by the word?

Quote:

That was my other point.

I've said on several occasions in here that in order for Leftists to be as hypocritical as they are, they need to have a terrible memory or intentionally forget what they said just yesterday, let alone a decade ago. So I can imagine how much it bothers you that I'm showing you stuff from 10 years ago that was said about McCain when he was running for office against Obama by the very same Leftists that are calling him a Hero today.

Oops. Sorry to bring up Obama here. I know how off limits that is with you. But do realize that he has no blame here other than the fact that he was running for president on the Democratic ticket at the time.

The fight over renaming the Russell Senate Office Building after John McCain, explained: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/29/17792592/russell-sen

Quote:

Soon after the announcement of Sen. John McCain’s death, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer came out with a striking suggestion to rename the Russell Senate Office Building after the late Arizona senator.

It would be a dramatic step, to be sure. There aren’t many congressional office buildings around, and a lot of noteworthy senators from American history lack formal commemoration. But it also seems like an elegant solution to the somewhat embarrassing reality that even though former Sen. Richard Russell (D-GA) was an iconic figure in his day, he was also an arch-segregationist and the key legislative leader of the white supremacist movement in America during its final two decades of formal high-level political authority.

Simply swapping out Russell for a more conventional liberal Democrat (Ted Kennedy, say) would be a hard sell in a polarized environment. But why not swap out a Democrat whom contemporary Democrats don’t like for a Republican who is broadly respected on both sides of the aisle? The fact that honoring McCain serves as a sub rosa way of slamming President Donald Trump — and the fact that Trump is clearly annoyed by the impulse to honor McCain — only makes it all the better.

Except for the fact that Troll RF's ignorance is coherent, it seems Troll SGG and Troll RF could be sockpuppets of each other. They share the same proclaimed ignorance. Although Troll SGG might be too embarrassed to admit his ignorance, Troll RF seems to revel in his own ignorance.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


Jack THANK YOU for posting such an illustrative set of posts.

I've become beyond tired from explaining to the people here that the democratic party is now the war and Deep State party (and maybe even an arm of Likud) - in complete contradiction to its earlier principles as a peace party working toward the good of the people. And watching democrats praise McCain was like watching some perverted ritual.

I thought that your set of posts made an unmistakably obvious point.

But I had no idea the people here were so far gone they couldn't grasp such a clear set of facts. Now I know the depths of idiocy those people have been reduced to. It's become unambiguous that rabid, unthinking, virulent partisanship is what people are being propagandized in to, so they can be used against Trump to undo a democratic election.

I think the whole damn country has been propagandized these days to one side or another.

The point that I've been trying to make in here, is that I'm far from a Republican. I resent being constantly called one here even more than I do being called a Nazi by the likes of RF because Nazi's aren't real in 2018, but Republicans are.

What I resent even more though is that the Democrat party has changed so much since I was in my early to mid 20's that I can't bring myself to stand with them on any single issue anymore, when I used to heavily lean that way.

Until they learn to recognize their own daily hypocrisy, they are a party of people who ultimately stand for nothing which makes them extremely vulnerable to propaganda and easy to herd around like cattle. They have become a party without any core values, and they fill that void with a bunch of empty feel good slogans and virtue signalling.

I feel that this thread showing the vastly different perspectives on John McCain from the likes of Huffington Post and Vox in 2008 as opposed to 2018 is an excellent example of this.



Republicans hold no moral superiority over Democrats, that's for sure, but at least you know where they're coming from, day to day, for better or for worse.


The Democrats will just follow wherever their idology takes them from day to day and label anybody who doesn't agree with them a Nazi, and then justify sucker punching them because "Nazi!". Or "Russia!". Or whoever the Big Bad of the week is. It's like living a real life episode of a shitty 90's WB show. And yes, I mean Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Well... first off, no matter how you look at this situation there is no irony, so I have no idea what you really mean about that.

Second, you chided me once for quoting a lefty like I wasn't aware of that fact, and then gave me detailed information proving it was a lefty writer. The very next post you say "what gives" when you realize another one was a lefty.

And finally, the main point about this thread was showing just how hypocritical the Left is and giving undeniable evidence of it, and you have yet to even give your opinion about that.


So far, all I've received from you is criticism that was off base because you didn't understand the point of the thread, and then a statement saying that this is beneath you to even talk about it.


I consider the horse led to water. Not my responsibility to see to it that you drink my friend.


Do enjoy those blinders you're wearing. It's a pity if you really don't take some time to understand where I'm coming from. You're one of the only regular lefties on this board that I wouldn't outright call a Leftist. I think it's a shame that you could allow the current political climate to shut your mind so tightly that you aren't even open to looking at things that don't fit into the Leftist's current narrative. Especially when I've just provided so many examples of where the Left were at 10 years ago when I agreed with them on nearly everything.

Okay Six, I guess I need to elaborate, as you have requested, otherwise you will think that you "pulled the wool over my eyes" (as the expression goes).

You claim that "lefties" are hypocrites because 10 years ago a couple of journalists wrote damning articles as to McCain's military and personal life,
a criticism that he himself has admitted to. And, as part of this claim, it
is your belief that "lefties" have easily abandoned their beliefs and criticisms of McCain and others like him, thereby exposing their flimsy character flaw, namely being a hypocrite.

Quote:

first off, no matter how you look at this situation there is no irony


First of all, let's forget about the irony. Second, there is a method to my
madness, I chide (as you stated) and said "what gives" because I wanted to know from you directly what you actually wanted to say. I assumed, from your
first four posts (with no commentary on your part as to your reasoning),
that your angle would be criticism of today's "lefties" as hypocrites due
to the aforementioned articles. I did "chide" to spark a conversation as to
your take on the subject. And here we are.

I don't mean to be too harsh, but well, forget that. I find it a bit of a
stretch that you "showed" anything other than your ability to copy and
paste. You offered nothing in the way of underscoring your point that "lefties" are hypocrites. Not one word, until now. So I offer up my opinion.
I totally got your point based upon your posting the articles and knowing q
little about your attitude towards left-leaning thinkers. So I poked a little
to see what gives with your opinion.

Yes, those articles spoke to a mentality of righteous indignation toward
an individual who displayed anti-social behavior. Was it due to his
privileged upbringing? Or was it his rebellious spirit protesting the very
nature of that upbringing? Who cares? He did what he did. Fuck John McCain,
the man who did all those hateful, awful things to other human beings.
Yes, he was a horrible human being and a stain on the otherwise spotless
record of his family (or so they would have you think). Rich people have a
big nerve, and a tendency, to hide anything negative to show how wonderful
they are. Bullshit!

By the way, you never present in any of your posts just who these lefties
are that so praise McCain. Not even those lefty journalists that you quote
here. Posting a bunch of articles and then not backing your claims with
clear arguments and your general points of view, well, it's just lacking my
friend.

What took place at the Hanoi Hilton may have been poetic justice, or Karma,
or McCain looking to show his father that he had the right stuff. Yes, he
was a racist scumbag. But something happened to him during his 5 year
"vacation" at the Hilton. And then again, maybe not.
Again, who gives a shit. This man put his life on the line, because, well
does that matter really? You name it, that's a reason. But he showed balls.
More than I could say about others, but show them he did...and what do we do?
We condemn him, spit on him and call him "not a hero" because he was captured.

Okay, all those things. But that was then, this is now. Sure he played fast
and loose with politics, with Obama. I was not fond of him or his tactics.
Nor did I agree with his politics, not all the time. But I loved it when he
stuck it to Trump during the ACA/Obamacare vote. Fuck yeah! Trump had to eat
shit, big time. McCain was a complicated man. Flawed in every way. Opportunistic, egotistical and oftentimes arrogant. But he did not take shit
from nobody. I admire that. And during the campaign he straightened out that
lady at a rally about Obama being a muslim. He could have easily agreed with
her and went about his business. That, what he did, takes guts. It takes
character. It made me rethink how I thought of John McCain. You and your
comrades might not think so, but he laid his life on the line for you, me,
Kiki, Siggy, etc.

We can go on RWED and talk shit, all because he, and people like him, lay it
on the line. Setting aside politics for a moment, which I protest against
on occasion, we live our lives. So giving a man respect for his sacrifice
is the least I could do. You and the others don't agree, that's alright it's
a FREE country.

I have a point to make here:

Trump once was a Democrat. In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, circa 2004,
he said:

Quote:

"In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty
bad disasters under the Republicans."



In another interview with CNN's Blitzer in 2007, he praised Hillary Clinton's
ability to negotiate when asked if she could successfully work out a deal with Iran.

Quote:

"Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job."


Do the above statements, Trump praising Hillary, make him a lying scumbag
lefty hypocrite? According to you and Kiki, yes. Was Trump a different man back in 2004 and 2007? Or did he just follow the tried and true methods of
modern-day politics. If he lied then, do you think he lies now?

Well... first off, no matter how you look at this situation there is no irony, so I have no idea what you really mean about that.

Second, you chided me once for quoting a lefty like I wasn't aware of that fact, and then gave me detailed information proving it was a lefty writer. The very next post you say "what gives" when you realize another one was a lefty.

And finally, the main point about this thread was showing just how hypocritical the Left is and giving undeniable evidence of it, and you have yet to even give your opinion about that.


So far, all I've received from you is criticism that was off base because you didn't understand the point of the thread, and then a statement saying that this is beneath you to even talk about it.


I consider the horse led to water. Not my responsibility to see to it that you drink my friend.


Do enjoy those blinders you're wearing. It's a pity if you really don't take some time to understand where I'm coming from. You're one of the only regular lefties on this board that I wouldn't outright call a Leftist. I think it's a shame that you could allow the current political climate to shut your mind so tightly that you aren't even open to looking at things that don't fit into the Leftist's current narrative. Especially when I've just provided so many examples of where the Left were at 10 years ago when I agreed with them on nearly everything.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I would have thought from my many other recent posts that I was being very clear about showing Leftist hypocrisy by posting those links from trash "news" sites like Huffington Post and Vox 10 years ago as opposed to now.

Then again, YOU aren't one of the people I had in mind when I posted it. We've gone through this all before, several times, but I'll take a moment to try to make myself clear again...

I DON'T lump you in with Second and T and G and Reaverfan. I didn't before, and I still don't. That being said, I would appreciate it if you stop associating me with others and calling people my comrades.

I'm referring again to the people who work at trash news sites like Huffington Post, Vox and Mother Jones. The "Alex Joneses" of the Left. Again, I make a clear distinction between you and them.

Just being captured doesn't make you a hero. Maybe he did other things during his service that exhibited some hero like characteristics. Maybe while he was in he didn't talk while he was tortured. None of us are going to know the truth. Overpaid and overprivlidged assholes from both sides have equal and opposite things to say about it.

I really don't give a shit about whether he was a "hero" or not during the war. All of that happened long before I was born. Since I've been old enough to be aware of all things political, he has been a neo-con warhawk piece of shit. That nullifies any hero like qualities he may have once had in his youth.

Yes! Of course he's a liar. He's a politician! I'm constantly talking about how his entire opinion about the economy, the stock market and the job outlook is a complete 180 and he's full of shit now.

THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING REASONS TO CALL HIM A LIAR.

I just don't understand why we need to take stuff out of context and make up stories about him on a daily basis when there are very legitimate and very provable things we can agree upon and call him on his bullshit.

I'm going to ask that you do a little real thinking on all of this man. You're one of the reasonable ones. One of many, likely.

Please don't jump ship and join up with the crazies. The world needs a little more balance and rational thought.

I don't even hold it against you that you quoted and agreed with RF here, since it was one of his few comments made in the RWED that weren't insulting. I'm alright with having different opinions. That's what human beings do.

I, too, was a bit puzzled at the length of the send-off. It was like Reagan. They took forever to bury the guy.

I suppose it's just media rewarding a warmonger for making them so rich, and giving them wars to cheerlead.

I'm not exactly sure when, but all that changed one day when one of the above

could get quite nasty and to beware. I thought, "how bad could it get."

I could easily accept that point of view; It is what you believe. Nothing wrong with that, because what I believe is that you can separate those two things. I'm not kissing his ass, I'm just showing respect for putting it

plus I hated how he ran his campaign.

My commentary was the title thread, and the first two lines which literally read as follows:

A little perspective...

On the Leftists newest "Hero", John McCain...

As described in 2008 by the Huffington Post.

There is absolutely nothing more that needed to be said assuming you read any of the articles I posted after that.

I don't follow anybody's lead here or anywhere else. I just happen to agree with them a hell of a lot more than I agree with you or the others that you agree more with. Pay attention to threads that aren't directly about Trump and you'll see me arguing with JSF and Kiki quite often.

Watch what your "buddies" around here do man. T in particular. Nothing but scathing insults coming from his direction with every single post.

I appreciate that you're not going to do that.

is far from perfect, but every once in a while they get it right - for the
right reasons. Trump couldn't find integrity if he was given a map and a flashlight.



We're all flawed men. Nobody is a saint. McCain was a warmonger, a neocon, and a mouthpiece for agencies like Blackwater and Halliburton. He was FAR worse of a man that Trump is.

You see, that's what you believe. I have a different approach. For me, his vote to save Obamacare, makes up for all his mistakes. Fucking awesome!


What is good about Obamacare. Everybody I know that has health insurance pays over 400% more for it now with a higher deductible than they did before. It's a HUGE tax on the middle class. The only ones that benefit from it are poor people, and the super rich that like to virtue signal about it.

I agree 100% that healthcare is completely fucked and something needs to be done. Obamacare only made things worse.

I could easily accept that point of view; It is what you believe. Nothing wrong with that, because what I believe is that you can separate those two things. I'm not kissing his ass, I'm just showing respect for putting it
down (serving). I hated his campaign run and his choice for running mate,
plus I hated how he ran his campaign.



I can't agree with that. He was a piece of shit. Any good will he generated in his service was squandered and then some later in life.

I just don't understand why we need to take stuff out of context and make up stories about him on a daily basis when there are very legitimate and very provable things we can agree upon and call him on his bullshit.


Quote:

Exactly how I feel about Trump. The above comment was about McCain, right!?


No. The above comment was about Trump. Contrary to popular belief around here, I'm not too big of a Trump fan. I could list the very provable ways that he's not a great president if you'd like me to. You apparently haven't seen any of my arguments with JSF in here.

Amen to that. You'll notice, I took out that "joining crazies" crack. I figured that a man who asks not to be labeled and lumped in with others,
would want to do the same, so as to instill some "balance and rational
thought" on the RWED.



Sorry, but anybody who just agreed that the Okay Symbol is a symbol for White Power is a crazy. The center left and moderates should be doing everything they can to distance themselves from ultra left wing people like that just as much as anybody on the center Right and moderates should be distancing themselves from the KKK. To do otherwise is to completely discredit anything that they themselves believe in.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Are you threatening me? That sounds like a threat.


I wouldn't waste my time or my energy on a worthless pussy vegan cunt like you. Darwinism is going to sort you out in time.
