MCCAIN: OBAMA'S TRAYVON COMMENTS 'VERY IMPRESSIVE'
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jul 2013 | BEN SHAPIRO

Posted on 07/21/2013 11:34:56 AM PDT by barmag25

On Sunday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) appeared on CNN’s State of the Union, where he called President Obama’s Friday comments on Trayvon Martin and race “very impressive.” He said, “I think we should continue to make progress,” but added that “we still have a long way to go,” even as he declined to “second guess” the verdict in the George Zimmerman case.

McCain stated that “we were probably too optimistic” about race relations in the aftermath of the election of the country’s first black president. “I think old prejudices die hard,” McCain said. ‘We have made significant progress, but I think recent events highlight the differences that remain.” McCain also said he believed that “Stand Your Ground” laws should be reconsidered in light of the Martin case, despite the fact that “Stand Your Ground” was never invoked by Zimmerman and he was acquitted on grounds of self-defense.

The old fool needs to be put in an ALF.

The Hanoi Hilton did a job on his gray matter.

If John McCain had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin.

And if McCain had a daughter, she’d look like Jabba the Hutt.

The man has gangrene of the brain. He’s asking Obama for some of his old Hanoi Hilton broads. In new edition.

Thank the idiots in AZ for returning him over and over again.

I guess all you have to do is flash a military record and a photo of Reagan there and enough fools will vote for you however many times you run.

I have despised McCain for many many years and still don’t understand how he became the Republican nominee for President or even got reelected in Arizona after his failed presidential bid.
The stupidity of the voters astounds me.

Hey, hey. You are being very very very unkind to fools. They work hard at being fools. It just comes naturally to McIdiot. The day this guy disappears from the scene, the better off the Republic will be. Him and GrahamCracker both need to disappear and take about 250 RINOs with them.

I’m sorry, but he was turned in the Hanoi Hilton. At the very least, he has major Stockholm Syndrome..

McCain stated that “we were probably too optimistic” about race relations in the aftermath of the election of the country’s first black president. “I think old prejudices die hard,” McCain said.

I'll say everyone was too optimistic. That's not the public's fault though -- inciting racial tension is the only thing the first post-racial president finds important enough to actually exert himself for.

There’s no other way to describe him. . . .he’s just an old “fart” that has run out of gas. His insignificance is overwhelming. Since he has decided not to fight for our country and the principles of our founders. . .he has lost his way.

I'll take what M. Catherine Evans at American Thinker had to say about Obama's words over McCain's any day.

excerpt:

Since when is it a president's place to advise people in their personal moral and spiritual journey? For five years, he's been preaching to white people on how they should act. Yesterday, President Obama piped up once again on how the Trayvon Martin tragedy should move us all to be a little less racist. Predictably, he threw in Malia and Sasha as paragons of virtue for being "better than we were on these issues."

Coming from a communist father, a hippie, secular humanist, socialist mother who abandoned him, and raised by fellow travelling grandparents, a sexually perverted communist mentor "Uncle Frank" and a gay transvestite Indonesian nanny, there's no way he could get away with this laughable pedagogical moralizing without the contrived family he totes around.

From the Friday speech:

And so, you know, we have to be vigilant. And we have to work on these issues. And those of us in authority should be doing everything we can to encourage the better angels of our -- nature as opposed to using these episodes to heighten divisions.

But we should also have confidence that kids these days, I think, have more sense than we did back then and certainly more than our parents did or our grandparents did, and that along this long and difficult journey, you know, we're becoming a more perfect union, not a perfect union, but a more perfect union."

Obama Puts His Daddy Hat On, Again

According to McInsane, Trayvon had a duty to retreat and run from Zimmerman, but he didn’t.
