Hey this is from a guy who won Pulitzer’s by writing about how much better off Cambodia would be with the Americans out of the region.
I am no fan of McCain. I have never liked what happened to our POW/MIA left behind. But I doubt any leftie who relies on “...I was told personally...” as a proof of factuality
Sydney H. Schanberg is a leftwing wacko of the worst kind. He has a major responsibility for those two million Cambodian deaths.
Well, I always assumed what was in this article was true, but now that I see The Nation is promoting it, that makes me doubt the story is true after all. The Nation promoting someone is like Joe Isuzu saying “Trust Me”
Schanberg; isn’t he the creep who was all for the Khmer Rouge takeover of Cambodia and left Dith Pran behind to suffer the consequences of working for the Americans? Just curious.
Sydney Schandberg knows his stuff. Also let’s not forget that Juan McCain’s friend Kerry got an exclusive for Colliers Intl Real Estate on Vietnam after normalization. Kerry’s realtives own Colliers. They are a huge commercial real estate broker.
After Vietnam - all the scum like McCain, Kerry, Kissenger, Carter wanted it to go away.
Yep, he’s the guy - another in a long line of NY Slimes pinko toadies.
Are you drinking some Democracy Now! bongwater? This guy is an apologist for commies in the grand tradition of the NY Slimes.
In addition, POW’s were left behind and McCain knows it. He also has NO call to be rude to the searches of the truth about the POW/MIA situation.
I believe it because I was THERE, I know what I SAW and I know what I was ORDERED to do about it.
So screw you, I am not an idiot.
RVN '68 - 69 and not far away for three more.
That is what I thought. No surprise there; I doubt there is any other kind at the NYSlimes.
I agree.
I for one refuse to read Louis Farakhan, or Rev. Wright CRAP.
You must not know how radically leftist The Nation is.
It isn’t just a very liberal publication that can be taken with a grain of salt, it is radically, insanely, leftist and is useless for information.
For much of my adult life I have tried to read much of the left including In These Times, The Nation, The Progressive and such, and I can tell you that the Nation is just a radical rag with no value.
I recall a story, during the ‘08 campaign, and I think from The Nation, that McCain was a not really kept in a cell, but in a hotel and given prostitutes, in exchange for cooperating with the north. The story was an outrage - and almost made me like McCain. Does anyone else recall this? Had the election been close, this and the story that it is McCain who is not a “natural born citizen” would have been the topic of “serious” MSM discussion.
I have worked with Col. Millard “Mike” Peck and nothing that was written about him and the problems he had, is a lie.

The oldest and most leftwing of all popular American weekly magazines
Supported the Russian Revolution and was first U.S. magazine to publish the Soviet Constitution
Opposed America’s Cold War policies after World War II and generally supported the Communist bloc
Founded in 1865 by politically radical abolitionists, The Nation is the oldest weekly magazine in the United States and the farthest Left of all popular American magazines.
The magazine’s first major backer, who helped it launch in 1865 with $100,000, was the Boston lead pipe manufacturer who had supplied John Brown with munitions for his raid on Harper’s Ferry in 1859. Its first literary editor was the son of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.
By 1881 The Nation had shrunk to little more than a book review insert in Henry Villard’s New York Evening Post newspaper, as it wallowed through a succession of editors. In 1918 Henry’s son Oscar Garrison Villard (who helped found the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) took over The Nation and shifted it politically far to the Left, where it remains today. The Russian Revolution was underway, and the magazine was the first in America to publish the Soviet Constitution.
Villard retired in 1932. He was succeeded by Freda Kirchwey, a Stalinist who moved the magazine to the far left on issues of birth control and sexual freedom, and supported the Communists in the Spanish Civil War. She became a target of radical wrath, however, when she refused to endorse the pro-Soviet Progressive Party campaign of Henry Wallace in 1948, which was launched to oppose the Cold War.
Carey McWilliams replaced Kirchwey as The Nation’s Editor in 1955. The magazine took the Soviet side in challenging America’s Cold War policies, attacking the U.S. defense program and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It also provided a platform for pro-Soviet Marxists like Gabriel Kolko and Howard Zinn, and for a young consumer advocate named Ralph Nader. (In 2004, however, the Editors of The Nation would ridicule Nader and his presidential campaign, favoring instead Democratic candidate John Kerry.)
Marc Cooper, the former host of the syndicated radio program RadioNation, is a Contributing Editor for The Nation.
But John McCain the POW was another matter. Let's not forget that he was offered an "early out" by the North Vietnamese because of his father. He declined and did hard time until the end. I can think of no reason why he would have covered up or tried to hide any information about POWs not repatriated. I think this article is just a hateful piece of trash.
I’m not and never have been a resident of Arizon. But I’ve donated a lot of money to JD Hayworth’s campaign because I detest the mockery McCain has made of the Republican party, and the damage he’s been personally responsible for.
That being said, this article is vile and it’s from a vile source. It does not belong on Free Republic. We are better than this.
“I can think of no reason why he would have covered up or tried to hide any information about POWs not repatriated.”
Yet, he did so.
(How McCain left U.S. POWs and MIAs to rot in hell)”
and he’s STILL being endorsed by PALIN.
He is not a commie. You can’t handle the truth. John McCain is a POS.
