Rolling Stone's Racist Cartoon of McCain
« on: July 18, 2008, 12:54:12 AM »
Not only are the caricatures blatantly racist, it makes light of McCain's captivity as a POW, a POW, by the way, who was NOT treated as required by the Geneva Conventions...

Can people really be this stupid?

There is no doubt about McCains honorable service as a POW.  None at all.  It is something that is off limits.  Kerry was fair game because he was a ****ing rat who was obviously hiding something.  He was campaigning on his shady "heroism", and thats why people went after him.  McCain is doing no such thing, so this shit is just going to bite them in their ass.

And it will serve them right.

I'll bet McC does not firebomb any cars as a result.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

This is so tasteless and for some odd reason I didn't think "they" would go there.   I guess I am naive.

Rolling Stone Magazine wouldn't go there?
They have Hussiens ugly face and big ears on their cover this month.
That magazine puts the "communist" in "moonbat".

I didn't mean RS in particular, I just didn't think anyone would.  Not because they respect his service and that fact he was a POW but because of the ridicule they would receive.  Like I said, I am a tad naive.

I would be more pissed off if I was an Obama or Hillary fan.  Those cartoons make them look like insane torture experts there.  I think the top one is supposed to be GWB but it isn't drawn well enough to tell really.

There is nothing that Rolling Stone does that should surprize anyone. Well, except endorsing a real Republican. That would be a sign of the "end times".

McCain's service isn't "untouchable". Even I have questions about his time spent in Viet Nam. Some of the rumors that have been floating around for DECADES is that he collaborated with his captors. (These rumors started back in the 70s, BTW). After reading his story of his capture/ imprisonment, I changed my attitude about him a little. My opinion, still, he is still a poor choice for the GOP Presidential bid. (He remains well elevated above the "Barackstar".)

McCain has said, I think in writing and verbally, that he "broke" at one point. Had he not, odds are very good he'd have died in N. Viet.. Frankly, I do not think anyone could endure that for 5 plus years and not "break" or die.

At some point, he decided to live, I hardly call that "collaberation".  BTW, I because of an illness, subjected to some medical tests that were exceptionally painful and included running electrical current thru my body. Had this been done as torture, I would have broken too. As it was, I simply told the MD to stop. When he suggested a few more "jolts", I offered to do two for every one he'd subject himself to. He laughed, removed the testing equipment, and  never mentioned it again.

Everyone has a point at which they will break. I am inpressed he lasted as long as he did and VERY impressed that he stayed when offered freedom at the expense of his fellow prisoners.

HOWEVER, today, I have very sincere prob lems with some of his policies. On the otherhand, he is a shining star compared with Obama.

It can't be that great of a "caricature" if nobody can tell who it's supposed to be a caricature of.

The Rolling Stone is still a liberal rag, but they do more harm than good to themselves when they print these things. They are the same outfit that drew a halo over Barack Hussein Obama's head for a cover - kool-aiders.

Not untouchable? By a campaign for some inexperienced dolt who's never served? Sorry, I don't buy that shit. He spent 5.5 years in a Damn POW camp. He would have been released early, but knew the consequences. Do what you want, but "I" will never question Captain McCain's military record.

Why would it be Bush though?  He's an ally in his election.  It looks to me like Howard Dean, which would make sense since he's the head of the DNC.

Ever been in that position? No? Then shut the **** up.

No, this isn't from an Admin, this is from a poster, and also a guy who's former military. If I read you wrong, I apologize. However, I don't think I did.

NONE of you will EVER see me defend John McCain, the politician. Talk about his military record, we're going to have words.

The country of Viet Nam was never a signatory of the Geneva Conventions as far as I know.

So can they honestly be accused of violating a series of treaties that they never agreed to?

I am now prepaired to get bitch slapped.

Have you?

My answer was that, yeah, someone did pull that one off and it was someone who was there longer the Senator McCain and was the Commanding Officer of the POW's.  So, yeah, you did misread me.

And, Kev, this is from someone who is still on active ****ing duty.  21 years and counting.

As I stated, if what I said was misplaced or if I read you wrong, I apologize.

However, have I been in that position? No. That's WHY I won't downplay a retired Navy Captain's 5.5 years as a POW. There are things to ridicule and criticize about McCain. This, in my opinion, isn't one of'em. I read your comment as kind of a slap to the face of McCain as to him almost breaking down. I.e., I read, "Bullshit, McCain can't hold out? Stockdale damn sure did". So, if I read that right, what were you trying to say? McCain is a ***** or something? When you've been deployed, how long did that 6 months feel like? How long did that year feel like? ....and that was in freedom. Now, contrast that with 5.5 years in a Damn POW camp.

Hey, again, if I'm reading you wrong, I apologize. I'm just a little ****ing on edge right now about people denigrating and downing McCain's service. I'm sick of seeing cartoons depicting him being prodded in a ****ing Tiger cage. I'm sick of seeing DUmbasses call him dishonorable. I'm sick of seeing those fools say he is mentally-impaired because of it.
