Fox News Fans Celebrate Sen. McCain’s Imminent Death: ‘He Should Have Been Killed Long Ago’

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on August 24, 2018 · Flag

Today, Sen. John McCain’s family released a statement that he has decided to discontinue treatment for his brain cancer. It’s “a sign that the Republican war hero is most likely entering his final days,” The New York Times reported. But over on FoxNews.com, the readers are ghoulishly delighted.

A FoxNews.com article noted supportive comments from Arizona’s Governor Doug Ducey and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The article did not mention Trump and his aides’ repeated, hideous attacks on McCain (which were often aided and abetted by Fox).

Instead, the article suggested that McCain is the one responsible for the ill will and that Trump has only responded in silence:

McCain, who has repeatedly been at odds with President Trump and criticized his rhetoric and leadership, said this year that he doesn’t want the president to attend his funeral, and prefers that Vice President Pence be there instead.

Last week, Trump signed a $716 billion defense policy bill, titled “John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019,” though did not mention the senator. 

So it’s no big surprise that Fox News readers would react with goony maliciousness. Our reader Andrew, who monitors FoxNews.com so we don’t have to, brought these to our attention. Note the “likes,” too:

Scum. Just scum.

I, too, had problems with some (most) of McCain’s positions but we shared many fundamental principles and there’s no denying that he was respected by all sides. That said, I wonder whether all the praise being heaped on McCain might not be some sort of indirect criticism of someone else. Hmmm.

Do you remember when McCain pushed back against a woman who said she didn’t trust Obama because he was an “Arab?”

He showed the kind of principle he showed ALL his life, he knew where the line was and he NEVER crossed it.

Is there any surprise a cowardly draft dodging narcissist like Trump would resent a competitor who is a genuine war hero? Trump refused to serve the country when the sacrifice was great but is able to fake his patriotism in shallow populism like attacking black NFL players who don’t stand for the national anthem. Or there’s the picture of the massive hypocrite literally hugging the flag if his dense followers didn’t get the message.

I didn’t vote for McCain when I had the chance to. Obviously I’m not a big fan of his politics. Sure, he had his moments like on his critical no votes for the repeal of Obamacare.

Of course that act – not supporting the repeal of Obamacare – was the tipping point that set Trump’s hair on fire. Many insiders have leaked – Omarosa being the latest – of Trump’s irrational, seething hatred of Obama and his dogged determination to reverse everything the Obama administration has done – largely out of vicious spite. So McCain getting in the way of Trump’s anti-Obama warpath created unquenchable rage in our scumbag president.

Forgetting political ideology, McCain was for a more civil political atmosphere. Trump took the low ground with the birther conspiracy nonsense. Famously, McCain during his campaign against Obama corrected a woman who mouthed Trump’s lunacy. For that, I applaud the man.

Furthermore, how much does one want to bet that those TOTALLY VICIOUS FoKKKs Spews readers IndepTex60, TedNugentsGun, TrumpKicksAss, AirborneFiveJumpChump329, their military aged loved ones and the people who liked their comments (and their military aged loved ones) are probably all DYED-IN-THE-WOOL COWARDLY PFCs (Privileged Fascist Chickenhawks) just like their dear Fuehrer Adolf Twitler? They remind me so much of school on Labor Day: NO CLASS!

[with apologies to Bill Cosby]

From truman’s comment:

“Nonetheless, I salute his service to the Navy and the Senate.”

AMEN truman. Keep in mind: in addition to himself, John McCain’s grandfather, father, and his son are all U.S. Naval Academy graduates. I still remember the picture of McCain’s son shaking the hand of former POTUS Barack Obama at the Naval Academy’s graduation ceremonies back in May 2009 — Annapolis was the first service academy at which Barack Obama delivered a graduation keynote address. Like scooter mentioned earlier, I too have had BIG DISAGREEMENTS with John McCain in the past , especially his warmongering rhetoric. Nonetheless, because he served his country in the Vietnam War, I definitely believe he deserves a FULL MILITARY HONORS sendoff when he dies.

We hope McCain lives long enough to see Corrupted, Crazy Donald’s impeachment from the White House.

McCain’s frequent warmongering was downright scary. And his selection of Caribou Barbie as his VP was a monumental lapse in judgement. Nonetheless, I salute his service to the Navy and the Senate.

While I disagree with John McCain’s policies on any number of issues I can still respect him and wish him the best on his remaining journey on this planet. The FOX commenters surprise me not at all. It is who they are, just like their Dear Leader – arrogant soulless cretins who care only for themselves. They are the deplorables that Hillary referred to, and they prove it again and again.

Stay classy, Rethugs.

Compassionate republicans?

- Don’t like warmongers like John “Bomb Iran” McCain. The fewer warmongers the better. But I also “dislike” the way Trump & Faux News talked about McCain.
