The silly outrage that follows a candidate’s insensitive words
Canada Free Press ^ | 07/20/15 | Dan Calabrese

Why can't a caustic jackhole be a good president?

Someone must have really said something horrible when a bunch of people who can’t stand John McCain are incensed over a purported insult of John McCain. Someone needs to explain the rules to Donald Trump: The senator from Arizona, who regularly refers to those who disagree with him as “crazies” and “wacko birds”, must always be acknowledged as a war hero. No exceptions. No room for discussion about whether the designation of “hero” should be limited to those who actually achieve something that furthers the war effort - as opposed to the tragedy colored with honor that characterizes five years as a prisoner of war under the most inhumane conditions imaginable.

Oh, I’m sorry, did I just cross the line too by wondering aloud if the right words are typically applied here? Well then I guess I’m not going to be president either. I’ll find something else to do. Not a problem.

He called Mccain a dummy. I believe dummies everywhere should feel insulted.

It is all fake outrage. Trump won’t play their politically correct game and it infuriates them.

Where is the outrage over Alan Greyson’s endless raving?
