No one will remember anything that was said about McCain. All people will remember is a group of deranged stuffed shirts complaining about Trump.
sad. |

All people will remember is that Trump was the only president whose presence was unwelcome.

Not true. I watched the entire service and while the contrast between the two mean was clear it wasn’t because the speakers were dwelling on it. There was a line in his daughters speech and a couple of allusions in the Bush and Obama speech. What I heard were terrific eulogies to a true American hero who despite his enormous suffering at the hands of the Communists always saw the humanity in every person, forgave his captors, worked for reconciliation with the Vietnamese people and was a friend and staunch ally to political dissidents and political prisoners all over the world. He also understood that people of good conscience could disagree on policy but that complex problems could benefit from bipartisan solutions and was willing to work with Democrats on issues such as campaign finance reform and immigration reform and he insisted every congressional overseas trip he went on was bipartisan. He mentored both republican as well as Democratic senators and counted many close friends on both sides of the aisle. He admitted his mistakes and apologized for them. He believed that what made America exceptional in all human history was the ideals she espoused and for which people have marched, fought and died for. This is what makes this country great- that we are continually aspiring and working towards the vision the founders laid out in the Constitution. That is the source of our power and our prosperity. I suppose if you heard all that you could not help noticing the contrast with a very different type of leader but it is inaccurate to state the service was “about “ Trump. It was about a great patriot, hero and public servant. The contrast was just there. |

This is certainly what I will remember. |

| Actually, rather than the memorial service being an event to remember McCain, it ended up with Trump being the dominant presence even though he was not there. |

I will remember him bringing Ds and Rs together to fight the enemy of our country. Powerful, posthumous move by McCain. |

Those f*cking worthless knuckledraggers are terrified at the prospect, and they've already mobilized to prevent it. Just look at their vile comments on the various DCUM McCain threads! |

+1 I also will always remember Meghan McCain's eulogy. |

| McCain had to die for liberals to suddenly realize what a fine person he was. This was the same nominee for president that Democrats vilified in 2008. |

| Here is a prediction: no matter who is appointed to replace McCain, look for the liberals to vilify the person who is chosen. |

Ironically if anyone benefited "white privilege" it was John McCain. His grandfather was an admiral, his father was an admiral, he wasn't very good at the Naval Academy, he wasn't very good at plane-flying.
Yet, because McCain's funeral is a good vehicle to attack Trump, the left doesn't care about any of that stuff. So--no principles, at all. |

There's a lot of truth to your statement. |

He wasn't at all a "fine person." He was, however, a cultivator of the press, and of the left--hence the "maverick" label. He cheated on his first wife with a cheer leader and dumped his first wife and three kids from that marriage. He called his second wife Cindy a "c*nt" in front of media when she teased him about his thinning hair. He crashed multiple planes when in the Navy. He was totally a creature of "white privilege." He was son of an admiral and grandson of an admiral and had he not had those privileged connections he would have washed out of the Naval Academy and certainly would have washed out of flight training. Remember the "Keating Five"? He was one of those guys--early political corruption. McCain Feingold was all about glossing over his corrupt political history for posterity, and it was and is a terrible law. He was so petty and vindictive, that not only did he fail to invite the President of the United States--he even didn't invite Sarah Palin, his own choice for V.P. running mate in 2008. I've never heard anything about Palin that would justify failing to invite her to his funeral. Only a vindictive petty loser would do that. What "great things" did McCain ever actually accomplish for the United States? I can't think of one. Can you? What is it? |

Internet article excerpt from the 2008 election cycle:
"John McCain’s temper is well documented. He’s called opponents and colleagues “shitheads,” “a$$holes” and in at least one case “a fujcking jerk.”... Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain’s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt.” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days." **** The left specializes in re-writing history. Orwell you know. |
