In fact, so apprehensive was he over the Brotherhood and its sharia agenda that McCain was quick to brand Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate, as a Brotherhood tool. Many of us watching developments at the time noted the apparent collusion between ElBaradei and the Brothers. McCain went farther: “Oh yeah, I think it’s very clear that the scenario is very likely he could be their front man.”
It did not matter that ElBaradei was a renowned international figure and an important leftist ally of President Obama’s. So pernicious was the threat posed by the Brotherhood that, in McCain’s considered opinion, you just had to assume the worst.
...The senator is never at a loss for bloviation. His professed anxiety, only a year ago, over the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as his blithe willingness to assume that ElBaradei must be an Islamist coconspirator, are worth remembering today. For the sage has suddenly decided that the Brothers — unapologetic Islamic supremacists who say outright that they are on a “grand jihad” to destroy America and the West — are a pretty swell lot, after all. Instead, McCain reserves his signature “shoot first, think later” ire for the target he has always preferred: conservatives.
The Arizonan took to the Senate floor this week to lambaste five conservative members of the House who, unlike McCain, are actually serious about addressing threats the Brotherhood poses to American interests. McCain’s bipartisan “Islamic democracy” promoters seem content to keep burning through taxpayer trillions until the Brotherhood is finally running every government in the Middle East. To the contrary, the House conservatives — Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Trent Franks (Ariz.), Tom Rooney (Fla.), and Lynn Westmorland (Ga.) — have concluded that the Brotherhood needs to be regarded as the serious anti-American business that it is.

That doesn't mean he wasn't a defacto ally of the Brotherhood, probably hoping to step into power once the government fell. He helped to bring down Mubarak. Once that happened, though, the Brotherhood had no more use for him or most of the other leftist shills who were there for the festivities. They even arrested the Google exec who had helped to organize the whole thing.
I guarntee you I won’t be in no frigging camp.
This isn’t just about McCain, it is about Hillery and someone needs to do some investigating to uncover how much she is behind this administration supporting and kissing up to the brotherhood. This is like inviting the Nazis into the government and military during WWII.
I guess “Andrew McCarthy” gets paid by the amount of snark he can work into an article (also by the page, it seems).
I will not forget February 2008, when loyal American Bill Cunningham, warmed up the audience for Senator McCain. Bill pointedly used the name "Hussein" in referring to Senator Obama.
Out came John quivering with apparent concern. He was told by others the gist of what Bill Cunningham had said. This will not happen again, he said, then gave a eulogy for his opponent. As far as I know he did not go immediately to Cunningham and gain some insight on his words. In short, he threw Bill under the proverbial bus. With all respect, John McCain is not the best person to "cover your back".
It is time for him to retire, he is not lacking for money.
What does that make the GOP—the clown party. Disgraceful.
You go Brigitte! This is one woman who knows first hand what muslim tyranny is all about. She is a Lebanese Christian who endured the Lebanon civil war when she was a child.
I can't stand McCain. Having said that, it was McCain's aircraft that was hit by a malfunctioning rocket launched from another jet across the flight deck on the aircraft carrier.
a high-tech “frag” incident?
