Revski, o7jimmy, YouTube Video/Memorial of Vietnam Heros/John McCain ^ | 2-1-08 | Revski

Posted on 02/01/2008 9:22:13 AM PST by Revski

This message was placed on my youtube memorial of the disaster of July 29,1967 by (openyoureyesin2008) I click on the url (openyoureyesin2008) and found that this man just joined youtube this morning and went straight to this memorial and placed your comment against Sen. John McCain and also did not view any other videos. If you click on this video, you can also read the answer I gave this person. I submit is this an attempt to smear or discredit the wonderful service that John McCain served in North Vietnam by a 27 year old who has now clue what John McCain has gown through. Please click and check out this for yourselves. Revski - RVAH-11 out of Sanford Fl. and the USS Forrestal CVA 59 in July 29,1967.

Or maybe it is a clever attempt by McCain drones to divert attention from McCain’s disastrous political legacy by hyping his military service 40 years ago.

I knew he was a foot soldier in Reagan’s army but now you say he was also a pilot?

Wow!

I believe the Zuni rocket that accidentailly fired hit the belly tank on McCain's plane.

As much as I'm against his candidacy, I fail to see how he's a bad guy in that disaster.

And they do so by insinuating that he was responsible for the Forrestal accident? One still studied today in Navy training.

Sounds like a pretty bad plan to me.

There are plenty of factual elements of McCain’s life that indicate why he isn’t fit to be Republican nominee for President. This is not one of them.

McCain was my Commanding Officer in my training squadron at Cecil Field, and when I went to the fleet, I went to...VA-46, the squadron he was in when that Zuni hit his Skyhawk...:)

I respect his service, but will never vote for him in a primary. General election, yes, if he is the only candidate against any Democrat.

Almost worked for Kerry - He served in Vietnam as well, doncha know?

The one ticket that would amuse me to no end would be McCain/Kerry

A more valid question: Is John McCain a conservative?

John McCain's biggest accomplishment.

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time when a Zuni missile came skipping across the deck...

General election, yes, if he is the only candidate against any Democrat.

Therefore he doesn't even have to pretend to support any conservative ideas or ideals.

Congratulations. You've become just as irrelevant and dependable to him as the black vote was to democrats for decades.

No.

I served under a liberal jackass in the Seventies, and don’t want to see it happen to any of our current servicemen or women.

No matter how bad McCain is, his won’t be as bad as Obama or Hillary. If you think that statement is wrong, then you aren’t thinking.

Let me see...are you one of the people who think it would be a good idea to see the country/economy/military go down in disasterous flames, because you somehow think that only then, will “true conservatism” be able to rise from the ashes?

Are you one of those people who would actually pull the lever for Hillary, because you think it would accelerate the process? The more destruction, the better?

Come on. Don’t be shy now, I do want to hear it.

Somehow I can’t imagine a huge disaster happening on a ship that McCain was on without Mr. Center-of-attention being one of the material elements in the disaster.

This guy was a big star in the New York Times even before he was a POW.

I believe I served under the same jackass and I sure don't want our military to got through that again.

Don’t be absurd.

I will never vote for any candidate that will contribute to the destruction of the United States.

You will, if they are destroying it more slowly than the opponent.

If you vote for an ass, any ass, you get an ass. Further, “everyone” (our betters) will know with absolute certainty that they can depend on you to pull their lever as long as they push it right up to the edge where they are only slightly less crazy, slightly less evil, will settle for slightly less control over the minutia of your life, allow a few less illegal aliens into the country, suspend just a few fewer civil rights, give just a little less foreign aid to terrorist supporting states, negotiate away just a few fewer American jobs, create just a few fewer entitlements.

After all, you wouldn’t have voted for them if you actually, like, you know, wanted freedom.

You told them, with the most precious thing you have, your vote, that they can take as much from you as they’d like, and you approve!

...."A more valid question".....

Absofreakingloutly! We need to back off his military service. We will be on O'reilly next as a bunch of loons if we don't. He isn' a Republican is the problem, not his military service. If we have to look at his military record for reasons not to have him as our nominee, then we just aren't looking.
