Was John McCain Brainwashed While Imprisoned In North Vietnam? (he called U.S. vets "criminals")

McCain did not crash two planes as a student.

Also, the original article states that McCain was a Lt. when he was shot down. He was a LCdr.

Please identify the “French” company.

And where did you get the 18% unemployment statistic?

Your Pee Wee Herman-like responses aren't very impressive. They certainly don't constitute a rebuttal of any of the information on John McCain presented here. But if it makes you feel better to throw a twelve year old's hissy fit go right ahead.

If you really think there are "Paul-Bots" here direct your adolescent jibes at them instead of me.

Ah, I see. That explains away all the information that’s been posted. /s

Good to see you got your Two Minutes of Hate in today. ..

Where is the hate? I read the post, it is common knowledge, is all factual, yet you come by like a toy poodle and pee on the thread, may I add, with absolutley no clue as to what was written. Please read the article before you go into your automatic knee-jerk pursed lip 'I worship McCain' stance. The jerk doesn't even wash his hands after he craps.

You may not agree with his politics but he has earned the respect of this country.

Crap. You realize how little reason this your statement exibits? Just because it feels good to you does not make it right. Read a little, be an adult, use the brain God gave you.

I may not agree with his politics, but damned if I’ll second guess him on what he did while a POW. No way.

I suggest that if can not sit in judgment of a fellow man, you are not much of a man. Just my thought, not accusing you of this, but think about it.

Too bad you love Obama and the Leftists who are really destroying this country. No, you only hate John McCain...

You know what that is? Because one is on the other side and we know it, the other is on our side but he is selling us out. Of course you detest a member of your family who betrays you more than the local bookie who runs off with your winnings. Doesn't that make sense to you?

First of all, I’m not a man. Secondly, ‘judge not lest ye be judged’. I cannot say what I’d do if I were in his shoes, and neither can you.

What a load of bull crap, vicious nonsense.

Let's keep it simple, shall we? By their deeds you shall know them.

What he wrote about two other subjects has no bearing on this one. Plenty of other sources, literally dozens, have been added to the thread. You still haven’t provided anything of substance to rebut anything here.

Someone needs to post this on Facebook to Palin and ask that she read and respond to it. And, to let her know that we feel it in our (collective) best interest that she NOT campaign for him. I don’t have access, as I do not have internet at home. But, I read that she does a lot of postings on Facebook, and has a lot of followers there.

John McCain, Prisoner of War: A First-Person Account
published in U.S. News in May 1973

http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account.html

I think it was on the fourth day that two guards came in, instead of one. One of them pulled back the blanket to show the other guard my injury. I looked at my knee. It was about the size, shape and color of a football. I remembered that when I was a flying instructor a fellow had ejected from his plane and broken his thigh. He had gone into shock, the blood had pooled in his leg, and he died, which came as quite a surprise to us—a man dying of a broken leg. Then I realized that a very similar thing was happening to me.

When I saw it, I said to the guard, “O.K., get the officer.” An officer came in after a few minutes. It was the man that we came to know very well as “The Bug.” He was a psychotic torturer, one of the worst fiends that we had to deal with. I said, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” He left and came back with a doctor, a guy that we called “Zorba,” who was completely incompetent. He squatted down, took my pulse. He did not speak English, but shook his head and jabbered to “The Bug.” I asked, “Are you going to take me to the hospital?” “The Bug” replied, “It’s too late.” I said, “If you take me to the hospital, I’ll get well.”

“Zorba” took my pulse again, and repeated, “It’s too late.” They got up and left, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.

Sometime later, “The Bug” came rushing into the room, shouting, “Your father is a big admiral; now we take you to the hospital.”

When you have walked in his shoes you will have earned the right to judge him...

Bullshxt!

I have a right to judge him because his actions as a politician effect my life and the lives of my children. He should be judged every day, just like the rest of the political class.

This is the same argument that the left uses when attempting to exempt criticism of president zero except they insert race where you have military service.

I didn't give up my right to free speech, or thought, just because McCain endured horrific events during his imprisonment.

My response is in detail on other threads just like this one

The same cut and paste threads over and over dozens of times
for the past few yrs. deserve disdain.

Some on FR look at the world through a straw.
I see the big picture.

The constant Mac bashing is also used to bash Sarah Palin
by association.

No problem with Ron Paul and his Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan views or his 6 min. Youtube of bashing Israel.
