Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 John McCain dead. No fan of the guy but it’s a pity one of Trump’s main Republican critics is no longer around. I always thought he was very respectful of Obama, especially at Republican events where people would be saying things like ‘he’s an arab’ or ‘i’m scared of Obama’ basically said in response, Obama is a decent man who I disagree with on a fundamental political level but nether the less is a good person. I’ve got a lot of respect for him taking the high ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only stuck up for Obama not for all the Arab Americans who were being denigrated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of resent the fact that John McCain's being lauded for not being as bad as Trump. If that's the standard we've set ourselves, we're all in trouble. "He's not an Arab, m'am, he's a good family man." Clumsy at best, loaded in most people's eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The world is a little bit safer without John McCain. Hopefully civilization can start to progress once a few more of these cold war-era dinosaurs have snuffed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 John McCain's greatest achievement was crashing his plane in Vietnam, thus saving the lives of a few Vietnamese farmers. There's no fucking way he gets a pass just because he didn't like Trump. He was a war mongering c**t. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting he's a great guy, but he isn't complicit in the death of 1.5 million people based on lies which he knew were lies at the time. There's a special place in hell reserved for Blair that McCain doesn't come anywhere near. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a special place in hell reserved for Blair that McCain doesn't come anywhere near. I certainly agree about Blair, but I have the likes of McCain in the same camp. One of the chief proponents of the American exceptionalism ideology and the inherently racist foreign policy that comes along with it. You have to be a special kind of evil to witness the horrors of war first-hand then spend the rest of your life pushing to inflict it on others.

No one in their right mind should be lauding McCain; however Trump is the immediate issue and anyone who is opposing him or has opposed him is better than the Congressional GOP sycophants and cowards whose silence is deafening as Trump shreds any remaining decency that exists in the USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 John McCain specifically requested to fly sorties into Vietnam where he could bomb civilian targets and would’ve been responsible for untold numbers of Iranian deaths if he won the presidency. God bless cancer for doing what the Vietcong were too compassionate to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
