Audy Murphy was a war hero. Chris Kyle was a war hero. Carlos Hathcock was a war hero. Chuck Mawhinney was a war hero. With all due respect, John McCain was a POW.

McLame wrecked 3 planes. Spending time in any Hanoi Hilton Hotel is noteworthy. Legislaþing against the Constitution is treason.

I’m not such much caring of what he was. I care more of what he is today and I think that is what Trump was trying to say. Now he is a POS RINO that doesn’t care what is happening to this country! For example illegals and caring for vets.

[TChad]

Trump actually said the opposite of what the Post lead sentence and video caption claim.

Most leftist media bias is accomplished by careful story selection and relentless spin, but sometimes only an outright lie will do the job.

It's good to hear from Sharyl.

[familyop]

In her dishonesty, the authoress presented a strawman.

"He's not a war hero," Trump told the crowd at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa. "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

I have witnessed, in my lifetime, the evolution of the press.

COLLUSION (Phase 1): I started by noting — even as a child — that all three national newscasts were reporting the exact same story at the exact same segment. There was clear collusion occurring, even back in the 1970’s.

OMISSION (Phase 2): The press simply refuses to cover stories that are not favorable to its agenda.

REFRAMING (Phase 3): By re-framing a larger wrong, of say, Group A to Group B, and picking out the wrong that Group B did to Group A (either in response, or micro-cosmically) they could frame an innocent group and make them look like the bad guys.

MAKING S**T UP OUTRIGHT (Phase 4): We have now arrived to Phase 4, which involves simply making s**t up out of whole cloth, and publishing it.

The latest against Trump is some Phase 4 behavior on the part of the media.

Is John Kerry a war hero?

He did serve in Nam and was awarded 3 Purple Hearts.

[fella]

Why do the proprietors of the Hanoi Hilton refer to McCain as “Songbird”?

[Balding_Eagle]

Future reference.

[jazzlite]

I lost any admiration and confidence I had in McCain years ago.

[CitizenUSA]

McCain can be both a war hero AND a terrible politician. I thank him for his military service and sacrifice but wish he’d retire from politics.

The point is they’re stalking all 15+ candidates for slip ups until only Jeb remains. This is the next 12 months of news.

This is what TRUMP Actually Said!

"I am not a fan of John McCain because he has done so little for our Veterans and he should know better than anybody what the Veterans need, especially in regards to the VA. He is yet another all talk, no action politician who spends too much time on television and not enough time doing his job and helping the Vets. He is also allowing our military to decrease substantially in size and strength, something which should never be allowed to happen.

Furthermore, he was extremely disrespectful to the thousands upon thousands of people, many of whom happen to be his constituents, that came to listen to me speak about illegal immigration in Phoenix last week by calling them "crazies".

These were not "crazies"---these were great American citizens.

I have great respect for all those who serve in our military including those that weren't captured and are also heroes.

I want to strengthen our military and take care of our Veterans. I want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN especially for those that serve to protect our freedom. I am fighting for our Veterans....

McCain is a sorry, old bag of feces, livin’ the hero lie, shored-up by the money he married. Were he a true hero, he would have settled quietly into a very personal life years ago.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

SHARYL ATTKISSON is one of the best reporters out there. She rightfully is trying to put the Trump statement in perspective. Obviously Trump ‘misspoke’ because of the ongoing feud between him and McCain. As Sharyl pointed out, Trump quickly corrected his initial statement. We all know others can flat out lie and the media gives them a free pass. The attack on Trump is an orchestrated effort to bring down Trump.

The GOP, big money and the media want JEB !! No other candidate can stop Jeb from getting the Republican nomination. Time to wake up and STOP them from hijacking of another election.

FYI, Sharyl is getting attacked on social media for this opinion. THEY WANT JEB !!!

[TNMOUTH]

So, which one is it Trump...

Is McCain a hero or not?

You can’t have it both ways.

Flip-flop anyone?

[xzins]

After listening to Trump’s remarks — because the media is playing it incessantly this morning — I have one question.

Why did the crowd bust out laughing?

Answer: it was a quip, a joke, and it was an aside kind of comment. “I prefer my heroes uncaptured” And then the crowd laughed.

You’d think they all would have burned the house down, given the audience, and the faux outrage of the talking heads.

And, then Trump went on to agree that he guessed McCain was a hero. Ann Coulter saw the same thing and called that an ‘apology’ in her defense of Trump. It was an apology. It was clarification after a joke had been made.

And if anyone thinks there isn’t bad blood PRIOR to this regarding John McCain who said last week about Trump — Just Wednesday, I believe—

“McCain told The New Yorker that Trump’s visit to Phoenix last weekend was “very hurtful to me because what he did was he fired up the crazies.”

McCain ended that with: “”We did to some degree regain control of the Party,” McCain told The New Yorker. “Now he galvanized them.”

In other words, McCain’s happy that the GOP has ‘controlled’ US!

The MSM is generally evil and wicked, they fit this description perfectly:

Romans 1:..

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 6:16-19

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
