Of course they would. And hopefully I'd be pointing out Sharyl Attkisson's analysis on how the media coverage of this event did not fully and accurately characterize her words. However; if Hillary had said it, I imagine the Media (with certain exceptions) would have reported it as a corrected slip in the heat of some nasty campaign rhetoric....Hillary would have apologized and it would be over. That's kind of boring. The Donald brings so much more entertainment value to this campaign. Then again, Hillary would never have made those kind of statements about McCain in the first place.


An accurate statement I believe.

If one in shot during war, is that soldier automatically a hero? Is the uninjured soldier fighting next to him not as much a hero?

I prefer the term "respectable". And that term goes double for any person of privilege that chose to go to Viet Nam despite having the ability to buy their way out of that service.

While rich kids like John McCain and John Kerry were fighting in the swamps, Other rich kids like Donald Trump were playing with Daddy's trust fund at the mall. so lets just say John McCain is respectable ...and any critic of his war service that share's Donald Trump's background is not respectable....

Huffington Post has a well known bias and is not news. I dont cite it on this forum as a credible source of news...unless they link to a more reputable source

Our resident conservatives dont have the same aversion for sources like the NY Post, Washington Times, Breitbart.com, FOX, james o'keefe videos, or andrew the climate-denying blogger. Thats just the way things roll around here

You read McCain's story here as told by him in 1973. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account

He's a hero in my book.

You'd have to be a narcissistic, megalomaniac, blow hard to deny John McCain is a war hero.

The media has focused on Trump's comments, but have nothing to say that the liberals forced O'Malley to apologize for saying that "all lives matter". Don't all lives matter?

During WWII, my father was from a family that was likely considered "rich". They really weren't rich, but in 1942, they were very well off which at that time was rich. My father enlisted at the age of 18, and I guess that makes Dad "respectable". My uncle, who was rich, also enlisted at the age of 28. He served two terms. That must make make Uncle Leighton super duper "respectable". I think so, for both of them, any.

That's my point. If you are going to dispel one side of the political propaganda, you have to be consistent and harangue the other side.

I'd be interested if someone could post a time when Boiler sited Fox News.
