EXCLUSIVE: McCain praised Libyan rebels at site of their gruesome public beheading
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/15/2011 | John Rosenthal

Posted on 09/15/2011 8:43:56 PM PDT by martosko

Evidence collected by a young London-based organization called Human Rights Investigations indicates that when Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain went to Benghazi in April to express his support for Libyan rebels, he visited the site at which the rebels publicly beheaded an alleged pro-Gaddafi “mercenary” only weeks before.

[ ... ]

Arizona senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, made a surprise visit to Benghazi in order to publicly call for stepped-up American support of the rebellion. McCain spoke glowingly of the rebels and their cause, even saying of the Libyan rebels: “They are my heroes.”

Now a new video has surfaced showing that during that visit, McCain both promised American support for the rebels and toured the location of the gruesome public decapitation.

[ ... ]

Members of the group walking with McCain wave American flags, and shouts of “Allahu Akbar!” ring out as a smiling McCain walks by the site of the beheading.

In his April 22 press release, Sen. McCain praised the Libyan rebellion as “a powerful and hopeful example of what a free Libya could be — a place where the dignity and the desires of all people for freedom and opportunity are respected.”

“We need to increase our support,” McCain’s statement concluded, “so that the Libyan people can achieve the only satisfactory outcome to this mass protest for universal rights: the end of Qaddafi’s rule and the beginning of a peaceful and inclusive transition to democracy that will benefit all Libyans.”

Moron.

I did not vote for McCain in 2010.

After Palin campaigned for McCain multiple times his numbers shot up and no other candidate had a chance.

You are a mindless cult member. Facts don't seem to matter to you.

“Attack watch.. aren’t you one of their moderators troll?”

You know, for one with a biblical comment in your tagline, you are awfully nasty to any fellow Freeper that disagrees with you. I’ve seen you popping up on various threads getting pretty mean. Why don’t you stop it, and debate in a civil manner, unless you yourself are treated in a very uncivil manner. Then you have the perfect right to respond in kind. But it appears you often start the verbal badmouthing. Consider this.

Hit a nerve, did I? At least you are consistently nasty.

And the only reason we have Palin is because of McCain.

She endorsed him because she was his VP pick: she owed him.

Did you miss their joint election bid? It was on the TV and everything?

No kidding.

I couldn't care less about the topic of the article. I mean, so what? Even if he knew. I took a trip to Salem, Mass. one time -- you know, where they killed "witches".

The important point is that both McCain and the Obama regime are supporting radical islamists with ties to known terrorist groups. Khadaffi was an evil s-bag; but, in this case, he was probably the lesser of two evils.

McCain is a P.O.S., sorry troglodytic excuse for a sub-human -- and he always has been, but for one brief moment of decency and integrity 40 years ago.

I’m not going to get too worked up about this. War is Hell. They killed one of the enemy.

Utter nonsense. I knew about her and knew she was on the rise as a conservative at least a year before she was picked as the VP candidate.

I will never understand how a man can be so....turncoat... to people who supported him...

...Or so deferential to a political party that has repeatedly proven itself to be the enemy of everything the country believed for 200+ years.

Those Viet and Russian bastards really did a thorough job on him.

John McCain revealed that he had no morals early in life. He hasn’t changed one iota.

Thus, nothing this man does surprises me, and your FUJM is the only fitting reaction to most of what he does.

Good call...

Can you imagine being that clueless? It’s unfathomable for me, and I’m certain it is for you.
