...your point is a good one, indylindy: the thread topic suggests that McCain is somehow to be credited with the release of the hostages, but having been given the opportunity to produce any such evidence, instead we are all told to “shut up” and you are called a “smart ass”.

That's my take on this thread too.

Personally, I think the title (whomever added "Hurray McCain!") risks turning this into a Vanity and away from the position of a straight news story.

There is no evidence that the other two US senators and McCain had ANYHING TO DO WITH THIS RELEASE.

I asked the moderator to remove that from the title to adhere to our standards, and/but of course it still stands as it is. Hence, Free Republic is becoming intellectually dishonest and not objective in its news stories, to allow a headline that gives credit to a major international news event to one particular candidate, who had nothing to do with it.

Why is that still on there?

If anything, "Hurray Uribe!", or "Hurray Colombian Military!", or "Hurray Israeli commando trainers!" is appropriate. "Hurray McCain!" is just as appropriate as "Hurray Obama!"

That's my take on this thread too.

I guess "conservatives" no longer care about the truth anymore. Now that a few days have passed, the real truth has emerged and we know the title to this article is a bold faced lie.

I guess people around here have become just like the Obama supporters. They make things up and fabricate in order to prop up a bad candidate who they really have little faith in.

When you ask for the truth you get met with foulness for even asking.

Sad times for FR.
