McCain Won't Apologize: 'Term of Endearment' To Call Trump Supporters 'Crazies'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

If calling constituents "crazies" is a term of endearment, what would be an insult?

On today's Morning Joe, John McCain refused to apologize to the thousands of Arizonans attending a Trump rally that McCain called "crazies." According to McCain, "crazies" is a "term of endearment" and a "term of affection."

McCain won’t apologize to Americans concerned about illegal immigration that he called “crazies.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Uh, no. Trump can offer McCain an apology, but he does not need to apologize to “military families”. Furthermore, McCain did start this by insulting Trump followers.

By that logic, saying that McCain is not a war hero is the highest level of praise and aprobation.

Apparently the GOP-e “Big Tent” does not include conservatives or those who adhere to the U.S. Constitution.

This “crazy” calls for McCain to resign.

My “term of endearment” for McCain is, “senile, bitter, crazed liberal.”

Some of the ways John McCain isn’t just wrong, but has wrought much evil on America:

Cybersecurity bill - giving prosecutorial immunity to Government agencies that sift through private records without court orders in direct violation of the 4th Amendment of the United States constitution.

2012 National Defense Authorization Act - places domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls them terrorists.

CATO institute: “On domestic policy, he has shown a disturbing predilection for elevating every personal pet peeve, from steroids in baseball to airplane service quality, to a federal issue. And, he has embraced heavily regulatory environmental policies and compulsory national service. He prefers federal power over federalism, executive authority over legislative, and generally leans toward the imperial presidency.

“John McCain appears to have little more than contempt for the First Amendment and free speech generally. He is the principal author of a campaign finance bill that severely restricts political speech. Not content with those restrictions on political speech, he has continually sought to expand regulation to other groups. He has said that he “would rather have a clean government than one where, quote, First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I’d rather have the clean government” (unquote). His general attitude appears to be that criticism of the government, the war, and in particular himself, is somehow unpatriotic.”
