How would he be able to high five everyone, when he couldn't raise his hands after his time as prisoner of war?Bentleyspop said:I regret that John McCain didn’t live long enough to see Trump go to prison so he could say “I like presidents who don’t get captured” on national TV then high five everyone in the studio."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

He did stand up against different methods of interrogation techniques and regretted his decision to support the war in Iraq.Meltdown99 said:Why can people not speak ill of the dead? There nothing special about McCain. His votes in senate lead to misery around the world. This man is in a party that does need see health care a human right, not that the democrats do either ...
As a former soldier, it unconscionable that he didn't stand up against war...I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
Nice words from President Bush:
“Some lives are so vivid, it is difficult to imagine them ended. Some voices are so vibrant, it is hard to think of them stilled. John McCain was a man of deep conviction and a patriot of the highest order. He was a public servant in the finest traditions of our country. And to me, he was a friend whom I’ll deeply miss. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathies to Cindy and the entire McCain family, and our thanks to God for the life of John McCain.”

Funny how all the people in here who support Trump (while claiming not to) are suddenly diplomats for world peace.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

It seems that calling people “angry” is the new insult or go to retort. It’s not like anyone has threatened to shoot the place up or anything but in America that seems to be a perfectly reasonable way to express one’s anger.cincybearcat said:These threads are getting so predictable.

Perhaps it’s becoming a frequent response because people on the internet are becoming increasingly hostile. I mean, in this thread alone we have people spewing hatred towards a dead guy. You really don’t think the internet as a whole and this forum have become increasingly hostile? I mean it’s no where near the levels of of few old posters that are no longer around from the Bush era, but it seems to be increasingly hostile to me.Halifax2TheMax said:

There’s plenty of ways to do that.“He said he’s been working on a plan ”for a long time“ but ”it’s a very tough issue.“ One way, he said, would be to expand community health centers and the S-CHIP program, offer tax incentives for poor people, put health care online, medical malpractice reform and promote health savings accounts.

You must really hate Obama then. I mean, he gets full health care and makes healthy people pay more.
Okay, so you don’t like the man. Let him die in peace.0 -
Go back to the last page of the AMT and work back. God, the old days were much more vitriolic than now. It just seems that calling somebody “angry” is the new insult or comment because you (not you personally) don’t like what they posted or how they responded. I don’t quite get the hatred for McCain and making him out to be the cause for all of the US’ past wars. Was he a war hawk? Sure. But he was one of 100 in the senate and one of a million in Vietnam. My shooting comment is that in America it seems that a whole lot of people seem to express their anger, at whatever it is that pisses them off, by shooting some place up and the country as a whole just shrugs and goes, ho him. Maybe 40 hours of anger management classes before you can buy a gun is in order?cincybearcat said:

What an apathetic and ignorant thing to say; as though you have any insight to the psychological transformations which occur to prisoners of war? It’s possible he came back with a different perspective on the necessity of war than the perspective you arbitrarily deem correct (and I say this as a pacifist to my core).Meltdown99 said:

And if he was truly an idiot, what does that say about the nation which across the political spectrum admired him until the day he died?

That’s fair. It is annoying when the people that make and write the laws write themselves great pensions and health care while they’re at it.Meltdown99 said:

Who was more dead wrong (no pun) in this "interview" about Iraq, Hannity or McCain?
It's difficult to be more dead wrong than Hannity!
