On Friday, we wrote about the shockingly heartless reaction of FoxNews.com readers to the news that McCain’s death was imminent. Yesterday, after McCain died, Fox felt the need to disable comments on its obituary. The network did the same with other articles honoring McCain.
But Raw Story caught some of the comments before Fox disabled comments on this article:
“McCain was a traitor!” LenardMiller205 wrote in the very first comment.
[…]
“Thanks for dying McCain! By far the best thing you ever did for America!!!” commenter PromotesFreedom quipped.
[…]
Several commenters accused McCain of being a “puppet” for liberal billionaire George Soros.
Fortunately, Raw Story noted that some of the comments suggested this was not the time to be attacking McCain.
But, apparently, enough of them were so embarrassingly disrespectful, that Fox could not allow any of them to remain online.

And we shouldn’t be surprised at the childishness and vehemence of the Pence White House’s spokesman, who is now continuing his feud with McCain beyond the grave. And he’s encouraging his followers to act out in the most offensive way possible.
I frankly wonder what the next step for the GOP will be. We thought this bunch had sunk as low as they could with W, who was and is a detestable man and an embarrassment as President. The GOP followed that with Trump and Pence, and I have to admit being impressed that they were able to dig themselves down below the cellarage. So what monster will come up from the pit for their next magic trick?
