“Recently, I have seen several allegations that condemn Senator John McCain for his behavior as a prisoner of war. I believe that these allegations are false.”

“Check out the difference between “I believe” and “I know.””


Please read the article before claiming that Jim Warner knows not of what he speaks. This is someone with very specific information regarding McCain’s years as a POW, and it is Warner’s humility that leads him to say “I believe” instead of “I know.”

If you don’t like McCain, feel free to attack his issue positions, fitness for office or even his character, but you’re making a fool of yourself if you attack his patriotism or loyalty during his years in Vietnamese POW camps.

I am not a McCain supporter. I am a disabled combat vet and I will stand and pay honorable tribute to each and every one of the POW’s!!! That includes McCain.
The traitor who wrote these lies should be held accountable for his lies. I’m not sure how we legally do that in our society but it should be done,

Yes, one is a fool to attack patriotism or loyalty of long ago years for the same reason that one is a fool to draw attention to scurrilous acts of long ago to discredit someone in the present. He may have sincerely repented of his debauchery long since. However, in McCain's case, appealing to both the former loyalty and patriotism is meaningless because, since then, he has, by his actions as a senator right up to the present, completely repudiated them.

It's sort of like that passage from Ezekiel 3:
"Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die.

The righteous things he did will not be remembered....
