fyi

[Finalapproach29er]

Is this a satire piece?

[rabscuttle385]

No.

[awake-n-angry]

repugnant

I'm not a McCain fan at all, but let me ask you and all the other smarmy McCain haters just one question:

How many times have you gone in harm's way while defending the United States of America?

[rabscuttle385]

He is an Islam apologist.

Well, he did passionately support the KLA during the Kosovo War, and the KLA (an al-Qaeda/bin Laden affiliate) has been linked to brutal war crimes, many of which occurred while NATO (i.e., the U.S.) controlled Kosovo.

[TNdandelion]

Thank you for posting that. I can’t stand McCain either but I’m not going to question his military service in any way. Capt. Sully successfully crash landed a commercial plane one time saving many lives and he’s (deservedly) a hero. McCain survived a hellova war.

[Kansas58]

You are an ass.

I don’t like McCain’s political views, much of the time.

However, the man is courageous, and he is an American Hero.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Attack McCain on the issues all you want, but you do FR a disservice posting such garbage as this.

[rabscuttle385]

I'm not a McCain fan at all, but let me ask you and all the other smarmy McCain haters just one question: How many times have you gone in harm's way while defending the United States of America?

Why should I have any less credibility as a mere civilian?

[Mr. Lucky]

Your point is well made. Freepers who want to criticize Senator McCain for his squishy conservatism should stick to the issues. None among us has served our country more ably in time of war and belittling his military service is unbecoming.

[rabscuttle385]

However, the man is courageous, and he is an American Hero.

Here's your American "hero."

“I’m not a McCain fan at all, but let me ask you and all the other smarmy McCain haters just one question:

Amen to that..

[Joe 6-pack]

One more and he’d have been an enemy ace.

[bayliving]

How many times have you gone in harm's way while defending the United States of America?

Let's see, I was on the first aircraft carrier (USS America) back into the Persian Gulf just after cessation of hostilities with Iraq, churned up the Adriatic Sea during the whole Bosnian conflict and rushed to the Indian Ocean and sat off the coast of Somalia for a spell.

While, I never was "shot at" the possibility for me to have harm come to me was always there seeing as I was serving aboard a combat vessel.

I guess I should say that I worked on the flight deck of said carrier at night.

So yes, I will hate on Juan McLame thank you.

[Frantzie]

KLA was CLOSELY connected to Bin Laden and also acts as the mules to run heroin or the basis of heroin from Afghanistan into Europe.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Oh please....it’s tongue in from a professional jet driver. I can’t stand the guy now but he served us honorably in the military.

[DoughtyOne]

And my favorite thing... telling MeCain to go take at least a ten year hike around Sadona with or without his family.
