Cindy, Meghan McCain Shred Gwyneth Paltrow for Comparing Online Haters to War
Mediaite ^ | 05-29-2014 | Josh Feldman

Gwyneth Paltrow recently said that dealing with internet trolls and online haters is an experience similar to what soldiers go through in wartime. Right. Yeah. Well, Cindy McCain, whose husband kind of knows what war is actually like, fired back on Twitter today, and her daughter Meghan McCain also joined the pile-on for Paltrow’s ridiculous comparison.

Paltrow said at the Code Conference this week, “You come across [online comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing. It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it.”

Well, the two McCain women were having none of it, and tweet-shamed Paltrow for attempting such a comparison.

“Well, Cindy McCain, whose husband kind of knows what war is actually like...”

I’m not so sure he does. He wasn’t actually in it that long. He knows what prison is like, and maybe brainwashing.

Most of his war experience has been acquired against his own party, and arguably against his own country, in the opinion of many.

Stop holding back! Tell us how you really feel! Don’t sugar coat it! :)

McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. I think that was long enough. How many years were you a POW?

O M G the world is turning into a large turd and this is you all’s major concern? Someone needs to stop talking to themselves and standing in front of the mirror.

No, I just read things differently than do some FReepers. Again, I'm a fan of neither of those three women or the lifestyles of two of them. I presently hold three different levels of non-respect for these three.

But how do you think they are wrong? In what way are they, to you?

Are you certain that you know how to analyze a statement for it’s salient point?

Take a course in effective reading, come back and let’s talk.
