It’s spamming the thread when it’s just links with no personal commentary link after link after link.

Very nice tributes, I personally don’t see anything wrong with it.

Snow96:

No, no you will not keep spamming the thread.

I’m done with this thread. I wanted to pay tribute to the man and I thought gathering some of those tributes would be nice to read. But as I said in the pm, kill the thread if it bugs you.

Goodnight all.

One of the great heroes of our time!

Farewell Sailor, you left a wide wake.

■■■■ cancer, hopefully Mr McCain didn’t suffer too much on the way out.

A laudable man in his Military service.

Credit where it’s due… very classy President Trump…

Not. It’s far too late for Trump to be “classy.”

RIP John McCain. He was a good man, an honest man, a genuine patriot. He had a quick sense of humor, and humility. He served his constituents well. He’ll be missed.

Farewell Sailor, you left a wide wake.

That he truly did. I knew it was imminent, yet when they broke in to announce he had passed, well it hurt my heart. It affected me physically. That took me by surprise. But in retrospect it shouldn’t have. He has been part of the big picture for most of my life.

Wow, tuned out from everything yesterday evening and missed this announcement. Knew it would not be long after it was announced he would stop treatment but never imagined it would be so soon.

McCain was one of the “RINOs” to me for many years, but I always respected his service, and learned a new respect for him as he actually stood out and up against the current insanity of the political world on the “right” these days. He stopped being a RINO these last couple of years as I saw so many others sell themselves out. McCain remained true.

RIP Mr. McCain.

The day he stood up to that bigot who called Obama a Muslim was unforgettable. Name a politician who would do that today.

Because he was a good senator and naval offi er. I can regret what I say. Maybe I am caught up in the emotion of the moment with his passing. I am an ■■■■■■■ but sometimes have a change of heart, especially when I go to the national cemetary and hear the bugular “Taps” and the 21 gun salute.

Bosun · 2018-08-26T14:50:26.745Z

Pay tribute in your own words, it means more. I now regret some of the things I said to him in the past. Senator McCaun was honorable, gave many years of service to our country, and some his mind when some did not want to hear it.

Bosun · 2018-08-26T14:54:57.278Z

Start this type of rhetoric in a new thread. Let’s honour Senator McCain.

Bosun · 2018-08-26T14:57:35.454Z

Don’t start politicalizing Senator McCain’s passing with your Trump Derangement Syndrome. Let’s honour Senator Mcain in this thread.

Bosun · 2018-08-26T14:59:49.344Z

I gotta live with saying some harsh things about Senator McCsin. I should not have been hard on him in the past. He did his best for our country.

McCain was a hero and an inspiration to millions. I worry that all the truly great men have left the stage. RIP John McCain
