Reply #45: Okay I was afraid this would start happening. [View All]

We were outraged when Kerry's war record was attacked (and though it is to be respected, their can be no doubt that John McCain's is superior, if for no other reason than 5 years in Hanoi Hilton should count for something)

But now 4 years later when we have everything that we could possibly want to be going our way, why lets shit on McCain for having the audacity to be shot down and held POW.

Why his stay in North Vietnam was really a cake walk was it not?

Look I have stated on DU on more than one occasion that I would and do find it extremely offensive if Senator McCain's service was attacked in such a bull shit manner.

Hate if you absolutely must, and if it makes you feel good.

Me I am still going to vote for Obama, and hope to God he repudiates this garbage and tells Big Eddy to stifle and Clark to apologize, this is way beyond the pale.

Those of you who approve of this are in my way of thinking need to stop and consider what service to the nation means, and don't try to sell me this tripe that on one hand you want to "support the troops" and on the other poop on McCain's service. You can not have it both ways.

Resist him (McCain) on issues and political grounds, leave his service to the nation the hell out of it. And I especially mean this if you have never put the uniform on and served. Until you do you have no right to judge. And Wesly Clark know's a damm sight better than to say what he did.

I respect his service he should respect McCains service.

I am disgusted by this sort of behavior, just as I was 4 years ago.

To quote a famous lawyer (my apologies but I do not remember his name) during the McCarthy/Army hearings: HAVE YOU NO SHAME???
