Senator John McCain lashed out at fellow Republican Ted Cruz on Wednesday over a Nazi appeasement comparison he made during his all-night, anti-Obamacare marathon on the U.S. Senate floor.
McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, said the comparison was inappropriate. He said he had taken Cruz aside privately to tell him, and got a response he did not like: Cruz told him his appeaser reference applied not to distinguished members of the Senate but only media "pundits."
"I resoundingly reject" Cruz's comments, said McCain, a senior Republican and former presidential candidate.
"I think it's wrong and I think it's a disservice to those who stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs that we cannot appease and that we must act," he said.

AZ hasn’t elected anyone good since statehood for the most part. The people there are easily misled.
The only thing that senile old man takes to the woodshed is hanging between his you know what.
LOL! That hackneyed, communist, fascist, nuclear-war-starting, Obama-ass-kissing, globalist-bought clown isn't taking ANYTHING but his soggy Depends and his stale-beer breath to the Nursing Home.
Reuters, your entire staff is on psylocibin.
Yes. I know.
If Mark Levin’s idea of passing Constitutional amendments via the states gets any traction, it would be nice to see some provisions that would strip these elected things (past and present) of their self appointed perks.
Yeah. I know. Fat chance; but at least I can dream.
He goes to the right just enough before election to do the trick .
Every time he talks, I feel less horrible about the 2008 election result.
Indeed.
I know the songbird couldn’t fly worth a damn.
Have a wonderful night.
Lt. Weinberg: "I strenuously object?" Is that how it works? Hm? "Objection." "Overruled." "Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."
That means Cruz is correct.
That is one of the most dishonest headlines of all time. More like “McCain Squeals Like a Stuck Pig”.
Old Songbird McCain in all his glory. By the way the North Vietnamese named him songbird because he told them anything and everything they wanted to hear.
By letting lib caucuses and primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire decide the nominee...along with our good friends in the media. Anytime the primary rolls through my state, the nominee had already been decided.
Screw off McCain, I’m tired of you using your POW status as your do-what-the-hell-I-want card. There’s many vets who’ve been thru far worse that didn’t sell us out to the Dems at every turn so you could get your 15 minutes as the media’s darling prom queen.
McCain may be weak is many ways, but he’s not a traitor. His record as a shot-down pilot and prisoner in Vietnam speaks volumes as to his loyalty to America and Americans.
