Senator John McCain poured it on for the press at a Munich defense conference Saturday, warning in a veiled attack on President Trump that attacks on the press are a leading danger for democracy. “That's how dictators are made!”

Where was McCain when New York Times reporter James Risen was threatened with prosecution if he did not reveal his sources?


He went over to Europe and made statements about Obama becoming a dictator didn't he?

His lips were stuck to Barky’s bony butt.

McDuckface is a slime sucking, bottom dwelling smegma-lipped POS.

On his good days.

Obama spent 8 years calling Fox News “Fake News”. Liberals always referred to it as “faux news”.

My how quickly we forget.

Time has proven that this country would have been better served if McLame had not survived his captivity in North Vietnam. He is not now, nor has he ever been a patriot.

McCain is a power-drunk ass. Why in the world have Arizona voters kept him around so long?

McCain has a conflict of interest. He is a whore for the media. He will perform whatever trick the media wants him to.

I have a serious question for my fellow FReepers from Arizona. Because Arizona is usually a pretty solid conservative place filled with hard working Americans. You’ve had great elected officials like Sheriff Joe.

WTF is the matter with you guys? Why do you keep re-electing this worthless piece of human garbage? He’s an arrogant fool who always does more bad than good.

Why? Why? Why do you inflict him on America?

I’m not going to go all the way back to 2008m when I brought to light that he was a traitor, but I will say that he should have at LEAST been in prison for his acts because of him being a traitor during ‘Nam. THere are so many facts that aren’t published about the real situation while he was a POW... I believe I have posted them, and the links to prove it, many years ago.

No Juan - protecting folks who lie and spread propaganda in an “official” capacity is how dictators get started.

Something serious is going on with McCain. Look how much weight he’s lost. The weight loss is considerable.

Are we certain McCain wasn’t talking about Germany’s press? Or maybe the American democrat propaganda press? I know, I know, it sure ain’t likely.

At this point, I have to give Rand Paul bigly kudos: not only is RP the smartest Senator in office right now, but RP almost never criticizes President Trump even when RP disagrees with him, but RP instead will simply lay out what he believes himself.

McCain needs to STFU and demonstrate some loyalty to his party and his President. You NEVER see the Democrats pull this kind of crap no matter how wretched their leader(s) might be. Practically the ONLY thing I’ve ever admired about the Democrats is their ability to circle the wagons and demonstrate loyalty to their party and their leaders regardless of their individual positions and differences.
