John McCain is a war hero. Period.
Unless, of course, he’s a threat to Democrats and Barack Obama — as he was in September of 2008 as the Republican nominee for president. Then the man whose honor is suddenly being defended by outraged Establishment figures from both parties and the media was no longer a war hero. No, back there in the fall of 2008 McCain was being savaged as a mean SOB with an uncontrollable temper — a man who threatened to physically strike a wheelchair-bound, oxygen-dependent mother of a missing Vietnam serviceman. When he wasn’t busy causing another woman to be slammed into a wall. And that’s all well aside from using a Senate hearing to torment a third woman — a witness for the families of missing servicemen — with such open prosecutorial-style contempt that the woman was reduced to tears.

At the time the McClatchy story was published I can find no stories reporting that then-Texas Governor Perry found McCain’s behavior in threatening to physically assault a wheelchair-bound mother of a missing service man as, in Perry’s words about Trump, making McCain “unfit to be Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces” and no stories that had Perry demanding McCain “withdraw from the race for President.”
In other words? This whole episode is just another Establishment media game designed to politically take out a perceived threat.
Just as the media and Establishment figures in both parties deliberately misrepresent Trump’s views on illegal immigration by changing his meaning from “illegal immigrants’ to “Mexican immigrants,”

I can’t wait for this country to collapse.
I’m so glad this came out today. Perfect to counter the nonsense at Wash. Post.
There is a pretty-clear dividing line on this thing.
Well, we’re not surprised at the GOPe, Dems nor the media.
Seems like they’re hell-bent on making it happen.
They don’t get it
It’s not working
The sheeple are smarter than they realize
Lol at Rick Perry especially
Flame Out
I have a Freeper private mailing me basically threatening me if I rebel against the government and establishment. What a joke. Evil is rising. Someone had to get it started. This individual calls Muslims and Hindus a minor threat against the government. I wish to get out of this country before the Medes and Persians take over.
There is a pretty-clear dividing line on this thing.
Yes, the lines are drawn. Now the battle is on.
Ef Trump and his slimey followers.
Is that you, Rick?
Finally, someone who gets it. And a Reagan adviser, too.
This is going to backfire big time.
I thank Sen. McCain for his service to the country, but that is about it.
Agree..McCain has been a horrible senator. So now Trump is elevating him.
Probably rand paul supporter...
Trump so far seems to have Teflon that actually makes him stronger with each attack. It’s driving the GOPe insane. He has crushed Rubio first, then Perry.
John McCain is a war hero. Period.
NOT!
Trump to be on O’Reilly tonight. The morning panel on Fox is making a big deal out of Trump saying he likes war heroes that didn’t get captured. We will see how the interview goes. Geraldo was practically on his knees begging Trump to apologize. They are hoping this is what causes the right to say they will vote for Jeb now.
Watching how these GOP e tools react to the lamestream media is kinda like. Political IQ test and most are failing
I am seeing Trumps wisdom in pointing them out as failed politicians and men who would never make it in private business
If you are on Social Security and your tagline is accurate, you won’t have it long under the new Obama criteria....you are obvously incompetent.
