Sadly, no comments are available on the blog.

Ms. Stepman is sadly mistaken...McLame was no hero, he was a collaborator.

Doubt it? Listen to McLame's words for yourself.

Transcript:

To the Vietnamese people and the Government of the DRVN I’m John Sydney McCain 624787, Lieutenant Commander US Navy. Born 29 August 1936 Panama, home state (unaudible) Shot down 26 October 1967 A4 Aircraft. I as a US Airman am Guilty of Crimes against the Vietnamese country and people. I have bombed their cities, towns and villages and caused many injuries, even death to the people of Vietnam.

I was captured in the Capitol of Hanoi while attacking it. After I was captured I was (inaudible) for the hospital in Hanoi where I received very good medical treatement. I was given an operation on my leg which allowed me to walk again and a cast on my right arm which was badly broken in three places. The doctors were very good and they knew a great deal about the practice of medicine. I remained in the hospital for sometime and regained much of my health and strength.

Since I arrived in the camp of detention, I have received humane and (inaudible) treatment. I received this good treament and food, even though I came here as an aggressor and the people who I injured have much difficulty in their living standards. I wish to express my deep gratitude for my kind treatment and I will never forget this kindness extended to me.

A total disgrace to his uniform. The man had even more arrogance than Obama. I hope he meets the sailors he killed and he answers for his actions. Damn him!

[boycott]

Man squeezed more out of military hero status than anyone in our nation’s history. Many paid a much higher price and got less in return.

[\/\/ayne]

As much as I disagree with McCain’s anti-American policies and despicable behavior, I can’t really hold something like this against anyone in a Communist prison camp. However, it should be known by everyone if only to emphasize the true courage of men like Jeremiah Andrew Denton who blinked “torture” in Morse code while being filmed for his propaganda commercial.

He said he would repeal Obamacare. He said he would vote to repeal it before the vote. But then he changed his mind and went against his word.

And I suffer with Obamacare to this day because of it. High Deductibles High Premiums you know - UGH!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Yeah, he stood for THEIR values.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

What a suckfest.I purposely have not watched the news because of the lovefest over that POS.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

As I’ve posted on other threads, my pappy told me to never speak ill of the dead. So, if I can’t say anything good about somebody, who’s dead, I won’t say anything at all!......for now!

[Candor7]

McCain died as a thin skinned Republican elitist,doing bitter things to President Donald Trump who is a great man elected for and by the People. McCain was Obama’s dimmi , doing Obama’s bidding to support the jihad and ISIS.Obama used McCain like a common street whore who was left giggling because she had a few extra campaign bucks in her purse. McCain clad himself in the our flag to actually betray our country.And IMHO McCain knew exactly what Obama was using him for.

McCain was a decent enough politician until he lost the 2002 GOP presidential nomination to GW Bush. After that he was incredibly bitter.That is when he should have retired in 2002 because subsequently he was an agent provocateur to the GOP and actually sometimes engaged in treasonous activity internationally.He was strangely quiet on the Benghazi fiasco, when he could have led the charge.

One lurid example of McCain’s treasonous conduct was the bogus arms deal he brokered in Syria with the Magic Negro’s help, about 500 million dollars of small arms to a Syrian group of rebels of about 12 men who McCain had met for a photo op.The arms were sold on the black market in Syria as fast as they arrived, to ISIS and the Jihad, later to be used against our US soldiers and allies. The arms dealers in McCains pocket tickled his scrotum with $$$ on that one, and McCain once again became Obama’s dimmi.Most Americans do not even know about this fiasco or the methods Obama used to support the jihad instead of fighting it.Obama used McCain to actually support ISIS.

McCain did little or nothing to help the cause against liberal fascism ,promoted and implemented by Obama.McCain could have been heroic in 2008 campaign but he fizzled, his powder wet instead of dry.Therefore the left now cynically lauds Senator McCain’s life, the way that Muslims laud their dimmis.

This article by Laz shows a genuinely true picture of McCain:

When the pack of low-life, slimly RATs suck up to a POS like this, it speaks VOLUMES of what he really was.
The real héros were the ones that died trying to put out the fire to save the USS Forestal that the stupid SOB set by touching off his afterburners on the flight deck.

[grania]

With this drawn-out mourning period, there might be a silver lining. That is that the false narrative might crumble before Senator McCain is finally laid to rest.

[servo1969]

“McCain made his many important decisions with the best interests of his country, as he saw them, at heart.”

So have a lot of people. Simply believing you are right doesn’t make you a good person.

When McCain was alive I judged him by his actions, not his beliefs, and considered him an arrogant elitist jackass convinced his own infallible reasoning.

Now that he has passed... I plan on not considering him any further.

John McCain was the embodiment of Crony Capitalism within the defense industry. The fortunate thing is that this symbiotic relationship straightened America’s national security. However, whenever such relationships become established, it can veer off into destructive territory. Sarah Palin’s attack on Crony Capitalism was a landmark speech that tore the veil away from this destructive practice. I am sure it was directed at McCain himself. I bet McCain went into a tizzy when he learned about what she said. I can imagine the financial gain McCain benefited from the defense industry. And the Dems doubled down on their corruption because now they had a prominent Republican they could blackmail.

Recall how sh1tty the left openly was in print when Ronald Reagan passed.

[wastoute]

Lincoln Savings and Loan. Keating Five. McLame was a corrupt politician from Day #1 and was never “in it” for anyone but himself.

[wastoute]

But i guess it really does say something about a politician when all the people who literally want you dead praise you and the people that you supposedly represent hate your guts.

[virgil]

What I saw was someone with divided loyalties. I would be rather careful about calling him a war hero. I think that experience as a POW really twisted his head. He came out a duplicitous jackass instead of just plain jackass.

[Gay State Conservative]

Unlike some (many?) Freepers I'm tempted to cut McLame a break.Specifically...McLame was a POW for several years (can't recall how many).Every story I've read about our POWs indicates that the North Vietnamese were anything but gracious hosts.

I can see the possibility that McLame was a basically decent and respectable guy when on his first day at the Hanoi Hilton but left some time later a broken shell of a man.IOW,I could explain McLame's filthy,despicable life after Vietnam as an indication that the Commies,although they failed to break most of our guys,succeeded in breaking McLame.

Just sayin'...
