Listen, you. I was getting my a$$ shot at as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam in Spring 1972 while this worthless a$$hole was announcing how he'd `go on my knees to Hanoi' to beg the release of the POWs suffering hideously at the hands of those North Vietnamese ANIMALS!
The hellish Nixon bombed the living $hit out of North Vietnam and actually secured the POWs release in 1973.
McGOO has been badmouthing the American people ever since for failing to elect him President-for-life.
McGovern is a worthless, arrogant snot. In 1984 he praised former KGB chief Yuri Andropov in the same sentence in which he denounced Ronald Reagan.
A small, mean, vicious man.
Call him Mr. Nice Guy all you want!
I was referring to his WWII service. He was wrong in 72, but raising the issues is legitimate. And he'd paid the price, unlike most of todays dems. In general though, you're right, perhaps I credit that too much.
Compared to what the Democrats have on tap today, McGovern would be a sharp turn to the right.
