Cindy McCain posts hateful message she received from a stranger

ohknow35 · March 21, 2019, 2:48pm

john mccain’s memory is off limits, but hysterical leftists like loclasshio vortex can kick the corpse of reagan (an alzheimers sufferer) all they want.

We get it, you all hate trump.

mccain’s person should have acted more honorably, if he wanted his memory cherished.

The feigned and insincere defense of McCain by the left is happening only because of their hatred for Trump. What is more disturbing is the echo chamber at Fox News, especially by Bret Baier and Neil Cavuto. They clearly don’t get the obvious - John McCain did not just oppose Trump’s candidacy, he participated in the Democrat conspiracy to frame Trump and his family with the fake Russian collusion narrative. At best this was immoral; at worse, it was possibly criminal. The President has every right to be angry. This severely tarnishes McCain’s self-proclaimed “hero” status.

Which brings me to the last point. War heroes don’t brag and promote themselves! They are humble. My father did amazing things in WWII and spent a year as a POW in Germany. We had to pry information out of him. He would try to downplay it and say he was just doing his duty like many airmen. The veterans from “The Greatest Generation” set a high bar for honor and humility; McCain never cleared the bar. He capitalized on his POW status and was a terrible senator, voting for progressive agendas and being obsessed with how the media viewed him. In the end his ego and hatred for Trump trumped doing the right thing for Americans; he cast the deciding vote opposing the repeal of Obamacare. This is hardly the actions of a “hero”!

Revisionist history is the worst. The so-called “skinny repeal” was not going to repeal Obamacare. That is such a joke. It was Obamacare-lite. It was going to maintain about 95% of Obamacare. All that vote of McCain’s did was prevent Trump from getting a garbage propaganda victory where he could claim something that was not true. That he fulfilled his promise to repeal and replace Obamacare, which that garbage legislation absolutely would NOT accomplish.

I opposed the ACA from its inception. I wanted Trump to actually follow through on the promise to repeal and replace. But he didn’t even try. Because he is lazy, intellectually vacuous, and like a moron actually proclaimed that no one knew healthcare was so complicated.

So I’m glad McCain voted down that crapola, and kept Trump from getting some stupid “win” that his mindless, cult followers could wrongly claim as a victory. Preventing the cult from touting a lie, that they had actually repealed Obamacare, makes McCain all the more respectable.

Who here remembers the good ol’ days when the obama campaign was sending out their surrogates to trash mccain’s service record? or call him and his supporters “racist”??

Think I’ll skip the histrionics lesson from the people who encouraged and flamed that behavior way back kn 2008.

Please, tell us more.

As for the memory of john mccain. If john mccain’s memory didn’t want his honor to be questioned, then john mccain’s person shouldn’t have behaved so dishonorably. Poor john mccain’s memory shouldn’t have been spreading around sleaze about a duly elected president, whether john mccain’s memory liked that president or not.

McCain was far from perfect. He was a typical Republican, who occasionally (rarely) voted outside his party which gave him the label of Maverick. Which was overplayed by the media. He did massage the media well, and got better treatment than he deserved.

I was no fan of McCain’s politics, but his service record alone, earns him the respect to be honored. One can criticize some of his decisions, votes or actions. But as a man, a human being…he should not be tarnished in the manner our current POTUS is doing. The office of the POTUS is supposed…no, required, to have more class.

Remember when Lee was the moderator here and he would delete any post that trashed military members. He would have to delete Trump’s own tweets and a bunch of Republican posts if he were still here.

I am sad to say Trump would not like your father. He likes people who were not captured.

Go ahead and link “when the Obama campaign was sending out their surrogates to trash McCain’s Service Record.”

Bodecea · March 21, 2019, 5:37pm

Easy for cowards to throw accusations out like that. Now prove it.

CaughtInTheMiddle · March 21, 2019, 5:40pm

I don’t think you guys are enjoying this as much as I am. People who actually voted for John McCain to be the president of the country and the leader of the free world are trashing him non stop now.

That’s glorious.

Bodecea · March 21, 2019, 5:40pm

Nothing, IMO, shows the cult like behavior of CRC-like donnie followers than their 180 over John McCain. Let’s remember that 10 years ago, he was the Republican nominee for President. Now, because their lord and master commands it, they trash his war-record, they trash his sacrifices as a POW, they trash his service in the Senate AS a Republican Senator, and they send disgusting tweets to his widow.

All in the name of their lord donnie.

Who’d you vote for in 2008 for President?

lessright · March 21, 2019, 5:48pm

They’ll say they didn’t vote for McCain (let’s pretend we believe them ) . But you know they didn’t vote for Obama.

Cool. Blackwolf’s prediction in the 4th post of this thread came true.

IMO…Ms. McCain is way above that type of action. What I suspect as a real possibility is some jerk posing as a Trump supporter, who isn’t…for no other reason that to create ill feelings towards them.

Your instincts are way off.

Better check those spidey senses before it costs you.

CanadianJudo · March 21, 2019, 6:32pm

this type of behavior is common place online among the worst of Trump supporters.

This is why it’s such a joke when conservatives in that Smollett thread were like " we knew all along!" well yeah, you believe everything is a false flag and you’re right on occasion but you still look stupid.
