By now, most McCain haters will have already skipped down to the comments section to post their expletives and tell me how it’s a free country and they have a 1st Amendment right, etc. to yammer on and on about how bad McCain sucks, totally missing the point of my post, again. But I’m here to tell you, in this free country, that in my opinion, you should SHUT YOUR STINKIN TRAP! To all you ingrates, rageaholics, and self-absorbed punks, WE KNOW YOU HATE MCCAIN. You can give yourself a rest now and stop posting on every single thread the same exact comments. I’m not going to name names, but I will if I have to. I think we all know by now who I’m talking about. The folks who post the same pictures and the same comments on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. We got it. You aren’t voting for McCain. Fine. Time to move on. Yes, that’s my opinion. You have had enough time to accept the reality that John Sidney McCain III, WAR HERO, is the Republican nominee. Some folks on FR have used this time to learn more about Johnny, realize that he isn’t as bad as they thought, grow up, act like adults, and get in gear to vote for him. Some of you have decided not only to beat your collective dead horse everyday, banging out the same tiresome gripes about McCain on every thread, but you’ve also gotten increasingly VITRIOLIC. I’m talking about the following trash:
1. Saying McCain isn’t really a war hero because (insert stupid lie here.)
2. Declaring that McCain urged the U.S. government to leave other POWs back in Vietnam (for what reason would he do this exactly? Don’t bother, I don’t want to hear your lies anymore.)
3. Insulting other FR posters who like or support Johnny by using profanity, vulgarity, and name calling. YOU ARE DIMINISHING FR with your hostile posts—this kind of stuff belongs on low rent leftie sites like DU, or Daily Kos, not FREE REPUBLIC, the shining star of conservative websites.
4. AND FINALLY, the filthiest load in the McCain Haters’ verbal trebuchet: wishing, hoping or praying that John Sidney McCain III would come to some misfortune which would prevent him from living to be President. THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DISGUSTING. How can you wish that a decent, G-d fearing man who suffered and sacrificed out of love for this country, who, BY THE GRACE OF G-D, survived five years of torture and imprisonment only to return to service in the military—how could you wish him anything but a long, long life? Shameful. And don’t DARE try to suggest that you are any better in moral character or principle than the angry liberal scum who wish ill upon President Bush or our troops. If your definition of “conservative” is to rage daily and most repulsively against our next President, then please call me a “right wing Reaganite traditionalist” because I want no part of your scene. I realize that some talk show hosts like Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity don’t like Johnny, but I don’t recall hearing them praying for his untimely demise. No, that is the talk of the dregs of society, not adults who have their act together.
And just a heads up to all the McCain haters: I am ignoring your tirades henceforth. I can’t stop you from posting your garbage, but I certainly don’t have acknowledge it. Basically, the point of posts from people who like Johnny these days is to share daily news: tracking polls, statements he has made, who he is touring with, speeches he has given, leaders he has met with, etc. What is YOUR point? To seek out people to commiserate with? To insult fellow conservatives who’ve decided having a responsible leader in a time of war trumps giving the GOP a spanking? To try and rally others to joins the haters camp?
Are you going to do this for the next several years? If so, the best advice I can give to the non-haters is to wade through the rage and seek out the decent and the productive on FR. Do not waste your time debating the haters, because they seem to thrive on self-righteousness and rage. Try as they might, they have given absolutely no GOOD reason to allow a dem to win the presidency. Their continued daily rantings about why they hate McCain, on EVERY thread about him, only serve to define their insanity.
I seek out those of like mind. G-d Bless John Sidney McCain III.
P.S. McCain haters, please review the link in order to familiarize yourselves with the sound of Skank's voice so you can hear his directive in your head when you are about to post something vile.
Haha, cute gif. But the point is what it is.
That’s my link.
I have watched the tapes numerous times and there is no way I will ever vote for that cretin. Many others are speaking out. There is no way the vast majority of veterans will vote for him!
Yup my ADD kicked in about paragraph 19 - didn’t get to the end.
ROTFLOL! Outstanding!
Re: post 35
Attention family of active torturers!
I’m almost there. However, I get quite angry if I focus on “Crazy John” for more than a few minutes. Undoing my best attempts to focus on OBastid and Himlery. Even while typing this, I’m restraining myself from not hitting the Backspace button and erasing my post.
FMOKM
Very funny.Why do you support any of the 3 liberals?You can go play over at the kos as well.
Having fun discovering that Moderates do not donate? Yea, you should have deduced that people who have little or no principles on which they are willing to stand for or believe in, would remain apathetic when it came down to opening their wallets.
Will it be very becoming to watch McCain beg Obama to stay true to his word and accept presidential matching funds for the general election?
Will McCain PANDER with his VP pick by selecting a woman or a minority? How about taking a full rat like Lieberman instead. That'll please core Republicans.
Can any of the McCain backers tell me which of his CONSERVATIVE principles/beliefs are not up for sale to the the democrat party?
Can McCain give any kind of rational explanation for why Alito is too conservative to be on the high court?
By the way, I agree with all your points about the inanity of posters repeating the same stupid thing over and over again. It's beyond old, it's down right annoying. However, telling passionate people to STFU is likely to have the opposite reaction.
This monster was really started, imo, by the refusal of admins of FreeRepublic to allow supporters for some of the Republican primary opponents to be heard. Calling the Paul supporters crazy and the Guiliani supporters democrats and driving them all away is not completely conducive to having us all rally around the eventual Republican winner.
Furthermore, the extent of the the anti-Morman bias from supposed Republican Christians was overwhelming; and as far as I could tell, never stopped by the admins. Or at least as long as I paid any attention to it. I had to take a break from this site because listening to poster after poster divine who is and isn't going to heaven was starting to really irritate me. Did God told these geniuses that they had the ability to know who believes in Christ and who does not?
So thus, I must assume that the admins were OK with all the Mormons are going to hell garbage. That was really the final straw for me.
What is so sad about all this is that I thought this was the strongest and deepest group of qualified candidates that the Republicans had ever fielded in the primaries, in my lifetime. Why we needed to tear each other apart when our guy wasn't chosen is a mystery to most of us? I suspect that many of us are so sick of watching our president and Republican leaders spend the last 7 years trying to out-democrat the democrats that we've become overly cynical.
We are tired of watching the Pubs spend our great nation into bankruptcy. We have reached our wit's end with the notion that a Republican moderate can just call himself a conservative and all is good. It's a fools notion that they'll govern as a conservative.
Just put “Ace” McCain out of your mind until November. Otherwise you will end up as crazy as he is.
The symbolism of my gif file is what it is.
You’re better off to have missed the thread. It was (mostly) hate filled and hateful.
Did you see/think about my suggestion for asking the mods if we could have a Day in the Life of Sen. McCain thread for people who plan to vote for McCain and who want to read about what he is doing without ploughing through all the abuse and crapola?
Bump and thank you.
RKBA Democrat: I have no way of knowing whether a poster is male, female or somewhere in between, unless the name clearly indicates. And even then, who *really* knows?
You post, you take the heat. No one forces you to hit that “post” button.
There are heavily moderated, quasi-conservative websites available where the posts are saccharine sweet. Lucianne.com for example. Those with delicate sensibilities would probably be happier there.
Bob's a "Do as I say, not as I do" kind of guy.
I do not support John McCain but will vote for him for president — no matter how much it sickens me to do so.
Just spare us the learn more about him nonsense. We have been awake for the past few decades and know very well who the hell he is and what he stands for.
Right on!!
Not, really. I’m still here, and you’re still bitter.
Why don’t you just go ahead and make a Day in the Life thread for him? I didn’t know there was a block on negative comments on the DITL threads for President Bush. I just thought people weren’t using that thread to vent their problems with him.
McQUEEG! Someone throw her a fish.
You should be bitter too. Everyone should be. There should be mass outrage. McCain shredded live sighting reports on OUR military. He should be in the brig, not running for POTUS.
