Back in 2008 during a HBO comedy special, Comedian Chris Rock, who had never served in the military but supported then Senator Barack Obama made disrespectful comments about Senator John McCain and the GOP establishment never attacked Chris Rock or called on Obama to denounce Rock for his comments about John McCain but they definitely went after Donald Trump.
Liberal voters laughed out their seats! Liberal news websites didn’t even report the comedy as news or call out Rock for his act…it just “went away,” until now:
“He a war hero. He a war hero,” Rock said of then-GOP presidential nominee McCain. “He a war hero that got captured. There’s a lot of guys in jail that got captured. I don’t want to vote for nobody that got captured. I want to vote for the motherf**ker that got away.”

I thought he was just a comedian.
Is Chris Rock running for President?
If Trump wants to drop out and pursue a career in stand up comedy I will support his decision.
I think the point must be that Trump is really just another Liberal comedian.
Maybe the RNC should be duly reminded of what both Chris Rock and some other lefty (Al Frankin I think) had to say about McCain’s “heroism”.
Keep that under your hat, Donald, until you get called on it during the debates.
Al Franken made the same joke years back. You didn’t hear anyone squawking then.
Comedians are often funny precisely because they point out the truth none dare speak. That’s what Trump has done with McCain.
The truth is that McCain was a lousy pilot who broke his back when he crashed and who was treated better than the other prisoners because his father was an admiral. He deserves respect for serving in war and putting himself in harm’s way for his country. But there are a number of stories from fellow prisoners that deny any heroism on his part, to say the least.
And of course, he’s one of the absolutely most damaging RINOs in Congress, friend of Hillary, literally quit and threw the election to Obama when Palin kept his numbers up (and then slandered her), and recently smeared millions of people as “crazies” for agreeing with Trump about criminal, murderous illegal Mexicans and criminal, murderous Muslims (both of which McCain supports and enables).
In other words, McCain deserves everything Trump fires back at him. He’s just surprised it actually happened, because he’s gotten away with so much, for so very long.
Also on the other side, didn’t they run Perot out on a rail for calling people crazy yet McCain hasn’t heard a word? Where’s the mental health troops when you need them?
I thought he was a loud mouthed, no talent, obnoxious punk.
I am not that big of a fan of urban humor, but when I am, no one does it better than Chapelle.
I agree with that.
I’m sure they’ve been reminded many times.
They report what they are TOLD by their masters to report.
I keep thinking that about The Donald.
