Mark Levin: John McCain Funeral Coverage ‘Seems a Little Over the Top’
Breitbart ^ | August 31, 2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 09/01/2018 5:47:50 AM PDT by Hojczyk

And I say this with the deepest of sincerity – and I don’t want calls on this, by the way: Am I the only person in America who thinks the passing of McCain and the news coverage has gone on a little too long and it’s a little too much?

Really, you can honor somebody, but this is going on day after day after day after day after day. And I don’t say this out of any animus whatsoever, period. Why do some public officials get this kind of treatment – Kennedy, McCain, so forth – and others get no treatment whatsoever. You’ve probably never even heard of them, probably weren’t on TV as much as say McCain or Lindsey Graham and so forth.

Okay, fine. I understand that – that is, the criticism. But you don’t see the same kind of criticism applied to John McCain or the people who planned his goodbye in slighting Sarah Palin, which really is a mean thing to do. She never said a nasty word about John McCain, even when conservatives were raising questions about what he did and so forth. She never did. When I had her on a couple months ago, on Life, Liberty & Levin, wouldn’t say a negative thing about him.

Never did. She was his vice presidential running mate. He picked her. That seems to be a little bit more relevant to me than the flag flying at half-mast through Sunday, and yet you’ll see almost no criticism of this by the same so-called news outlets, the same so-called voices , you know, the same crowd who can’t wait to attack Trump.

Compare the treatment of McCain to the subdued and modest coverage of the death of Neil Armstrong. Obama did nothing special for Armstrong. The politicians, like the MSM, love to glorify themselves and their importance. McCain accomplished very little as a legislator.

I thought it was a McCain funeral.

Everything about this is over the top.
They are trying to make him seem like something he was and is not.

Here in the stands no one wants to hear or see any more of this (and that includes his wife and daughter)

NO, MARK, C’MON NOW!

How could you even say such a thing!?

John McCain was a person who was loved and respected by no one, and all the snakes in DC and our magnificent media tried to turn him into John Christ.

And it was all positively nauseating.

Over the top? Maybe. But just wait until Bill and/or Hillary begin their final descent to the Gates of Hell.

As all the banks and stores are closed over there, the biggest joke will be on them.

Over the top? I find it nauseating to see a bunch of hypocritesacting out. Many Americans don't recognize him as a hero but as a "Manchurian Candidate".

Heard a great line last night on Laura:

The McCain funeral has been such a smashing success that Netflix has announced production of a 7 part miniseries.

My guess is it’ll have a renewal clause - just in time for the 2020 election (if you get my drift).

the Deep State had no choice (in their tiny minds) but to protect & elevate McCain, who was up to his neck in the attempt to stop Donald Trump becoming President, and later to try to remove him from the Presidency.

the overkill by the FakeNewsMSM only made it more preposterous.

You are exactly right. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. The media and Libs will glom onto anything that provides an opportunity to bash Trump.

Disgracing the rotunda as only McCain can do, that is our hotshot songbird even after death.
