Cindy McCain Trashes President Trump in First Interview Since John’s Death

[Silver Pines]

I suspect that any criticism of POWs here is directed to only one, namely, John S. McCain. There's been no blanket "dismissal" whatsoever.

@mountaineer

No?

“Getting shot down and captured is no great accomplishment”

Unless McCain was the only pilot to ever get shot down, yeah, I think it is. 

Y’all can rationalize it anyway you want, but the sneering dismissal of being held POW is full-on Freeperish.

"Sweeping Generalizations" usually don't hold up.

@Cyber Liberty

Like when you posted that TBR members who didn't support Roy Moore were self-righteous moralizers?  Yeah.

That you read that into what I had to say then is...disappointing.  I guess I should not be disappointed my criticisms of McCain the politician are seen as a slap at all POWs.

It's odd you would think that, since there were only a few members who didn't support Moore.  You were clear; no "reading into it" was necessary.

I was talking to @sneakypete.  I pinged him and addressed him directly.  So I don't know how or why you think I was talking to you.

I never demand any fealty to any politician, at the time I was just asking for a little due process before passing judgement on somebody and calling them "pervs."

I got confused about who you were talking to because this was at the top of the post to which I was replying:

Go read my previous posts.  You can agree with my opinion or not, but it’s not going to change. 

I’m wondering just how far this thread on a conservative site is going to descend.   So far we’re dropping pretty fast—we already have a Trumpian dismissal of POWs.  Good work, y’all.

If anybody ""dismissed POWs"".... it was John McCain himself.   Read up on if and get yourself informed on how he worked diligently to dismiss even the possibility that there were other POWs out there that had not been, but should have been, brought home.  It's all there.  His own legislation shows it clearly.  Another reason why the POWs should, if they don't already, hate McCain's guts.

Good grief, woman.... catch a clue.  There is no ""sneering dismissal of being held POW"" going on here.   How far off could you possibly be from reality?   How twisted could your perception get?  Seriously.   

The only dismissal in this thread is of Songbird John McCain himself..... and there are varying versions of how "tortured" he was as a POW.  Making 32 freaking propaganda tapes for the enemy, mistreating families of POWs still missing, trying to sweep it all under a rug ("sealed")... just because he vehemently wanted it all to just go away as an issue.   I could give you a dozen links that shed doubt on McCain's "version" of events, but it wouldn't do any good.  Your mind is set in cement on this, obviously.  For "some" reason.

By the way... you keep referring to conservatives like it's a group you don't belong to.  If you're not a conservative... then what are you? 

And yeah, since this is a conservative site.... if you're not a conservative.... what are you doing on a conservative site?  Inquiring minds (like mine, that is) want to know.

Oh, are conservatives going with the idea now that women belong in combat?

I think it's pretty clear from the context that no one said a word about anyone other than Sen. McCain.

@mountaineer

 I think it’s clear that trashing one soldier for being shot down trashes them all.  It’s disgraceful.

She is a mistress at being "passive-aggressive" and playing the victim. The only thing surprising is she hasn't played the "Well,BLESS YOUR HEART!" card yet.

She is a Party Pod/Religious Right creature.

[XenaLee]

For the "everything I disagree with is a conspiracy theory" morons....lololol.....

John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn’t return home.

@sneakypete

Passive-aggressive, my ass, and bless your heart is an endearment.  I call them as I see them, which is why you're trying so hard (and missing) right now, lol.

And if we're going to be real?  You're a crazy old conspiracy theorist who sits bellowing at your keyboard because no one else will listen.  And you STILL can't figure out how to format a post.

[Silver Pines]

You first.

I post about McCain's military service and you mix it up with his politics, even after I made my intentions clear.  I called out your conspiracy theorist nonsense that he was a mole for the Vietnamese, and to refute me you give me a link about Obamacare.

Stupid, or zero reading comprehension.

How many times did I post to you about Kavanaugh?  What side was I on?  Can you recall?  Yeah.  Not to mention any number of issues over the years.  But because I won't follow along with the idiot trashing of McCain's service/captivity, you start hooting "Are you REAAALLLY a conservative?  Just what are you?"

Stupid.  As hell.

What's really stupid... is your behavior in this thread for the past two days...

and your inability to discern that with McCain, at least as far as my posts here are concerned, it's a composite of failures or deliberate betrayals on his part that I take issue with.  And for the record, you're the one that started nagging at me for MY personal opinion of McCain.... which is none of your g'damned concern.  Or... shouldn't be.

More info on the """war hero"""....

The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides

[excerpt]

Many Vietnam veterans and former POWs have fumed at McCain for keeping these and other wartime files sealed up. His explanation, offered freely in Senate hearings and floor speeches, is that no one has been proven still alive and that releasing the files would revive painful memories and cause needless emotional stress to former prisoners, their families and the families of MIAs still unaccounted for. But what if some of these returned prisoners, as has always been the case at the conclusion of wars, reveal information to their debriefing officers about other prisoners believed still held in captivity? What justification is there for filtering such information through the Pentagon rather than allowing access to source materials? For instance, debriefings from returning Korean war POWs, available in full to the American public, have provided both citizens and government investigators with important information about other Americans who went missing in that conflict.

The title of this thread indicates it's supposed to be about politics, not McCain's military service.

In the spirit of the upcoming Holiday, I'm going to lock this thread for the duration.  Life's too important to argue over this.
