But the driving force for McCain has been pure vitriol and spite.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I see less and less difference between jihadis and the left. Both are irrational, self-loathing angry hate-filled useless blobs of decaying protoplasm.

Other than that, they’re really nice people.

[Paladin2]

So, what makes Linda Grahamnesty the The Huckster JUANnabies?

[rabscuttle385]

In fact, in a slightly alternative universe, it wouldn’t really be all that hard to imagine McCain standing on a Times Square street corner screaming at passersby that they all deserve to go to hell, or challenging random strangers to a fight to the death using sticks to determine who gets his clay marble collection.

The Juan McCain Truth File. "I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy." — U.S. SEN.

McCain is a piece of garbage. I am amazed the idiots in AZ voted him in. I guess they like their pork and illegals killing Arizonians. Kyl is no better.

[snippy_about_it]

If you read the article, from al jazeera no less, you’ll see as much as we may despise McCain, I’m glad the article sees him behaving as an enemy of Obama.

[rockrr]

I admire fighters. People who stand up to thugs and adversity and meet challenges head-on. But what’s admirable about a rabid dog who snaps at anything that moves?

McCain has never impressed me as principled as much as driven - driven by demons apparently.

[Vaquero]

McCain is OUR problem..... WHY are we posting anything from Al Jeezera

[muleskinner]

He's Irish. They fight.

Hey, how 'bout that.

[unspun]

You publish as valid a hit piece... from the left... published in Al Jazeera?

Worth a zot?

[Don Corleone]

But the driving force for McCain has been pure vitriol and spite.

McCain seems to despise everyone except McCain. Never once has he responded to letters while Kyl always responds nicely and even Giffords responds. McCain is totally absorbed with McCain.

[Cicero]

Well, I have to agree with the basic premise.

But I'm all too happy if McCain's fury at Obama for beating him translates into his opposing whatever Obama does. Good. It may be for entirely the wrong reasons, but the outcome is beneficial.

As journalist David Corn recently pointed out, looking at McCain’s increasingly desperate attacks against repealing the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy of allowing gays to serve in the military only if they were as vocal as a Buddhist Monk about who they really were, “…McCain practically threw a tantrum on the Senate floor, decrying ‘this bizarro world’ and denouncing senators in favour of repeal…Looking as if steam would shoot out of his ears at any moment, McCain went on to exclaim that ending DADT would endanger ’the survival of our young men and women in the military.’"

Well, sorry, but the repeal of DADT, with a number of Republicans joining the gay party, was a disaster. For once, McCain had something he was entitled to be angry about.

What, he should have supported gays in the military to prove his good sense? I don't think so.

[indthkr]

Sounds like ‘08 was really a lose-lose proposition....

[1Swashbuckler]

Do we have a policy to follow when posting obvious propaganda from Al Jazeera?

Seems when we use our enemy’s ally to smear our own “enemy”, something is awry.

Please advise.
Thank you.

[The Comedian]

Namely, that the Led Zeppelin-groupie relationship he then enjoyed with many in the media was based on a faulty premise.

I don't care who wrote it or to what end, but that's friggin hilarious and dead-on target.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[dirtboy]

Of course, as Corn also wrote, “Not only had McCain flip-flopped, he had become an angry crusader, seemingly full of rage at a policy initiative he once quasi-endorsed…It seemed more personal than policy -- as in he really doesn't fancy seeing a victory for President Obama, the fellow who prevented McCain from becoming BMOC.”

Pure horsecrap, given that McCain has also expressed willingness to work with Obama. One can find plenty of reasons to rip into McCain without making up speculative claims that are a line drawn from a single starting point - and such a line can be drawn in any direction.

But don't let the facts get in the way of opinions of David Corn ... or Paultards who hate McCain mostly for being pro-Iraq-War.

[Pan_Yan]

Let me see if I'm following this correctly. So far FReepers have pinged the AdminMod twice, asked for your thread to be pulled, your source banned and you zotted. It has been declared (essentially) that only ideologically correct sources should be posted on Free Republic, which I suppose limits it to vanities posted by selected individuals, since all news sources are flawed.

I think I'm missing something. When did someone logically show where the article was factually incorrect? Or even logically refute the opinion of the author?

[DBeers]

As journalist David Corn recently pointed out...

He points out many things to support his leftist worldview; however, each time I see him and or read him I can not get beyond the David "Cornhole" moniker that always comes to mind...

[DBeers]

But the driving force for McCain has been pure vitriol and spite.

So say the disordered homosexual sex is "love" crowd...

The perverts have their panties in a twist because McCain would not drink the koolaid. McCain did a bad thing?

Give it up morally devoid leftists -the writing is on the wall...

LOL!!!!

[behzinlea]

Hey, he’s absolutely right on DADT.
