Each time you hear reTHUGS shoveling their hypocritical horseshoe and lies to the masses, CALL THEM OUT!!!......its the only way!......
The same Republicans who lost their minds over Michelle Obamas proud of my country comments in 2008 are hypocritically overjoyed that John McCain said that he was ashamed of his country.
Transcript via Face The Nation:
SCHIEFFER: Let me talk to you a little bit about Ukraine. It sounds like things are getting even worse there. How do you read whats happening there and what do we need to do now?
MCCAIN: I believe that the German chancellor and the president of France legitimized for the first time in 70 years the dismemberment of a country in Europe. Its shameful.
Vladimir Putin has not paid any price. Even the cease-fire was violated until he achieved his objective of that vital rail link. He will pull back some now, and the next will be Mariupol, so that he can establish a land bridge to Crimea.
And, honestly, its terrible. The Ukrainians arent asking for American boots on the ground. Thats not the question here. Theyre asking for weapons to defend themselves. And theyre being slaughtered. And their army is military is being shattered.
This is a shameful chapter. Im ashamed of my country. Im ashamed of my president and Im ashamed of myself that I havent done more to help these people. It is really, really heartbreaking.

Compare what McCain said with what Michelle Obama said that sent Republicans into a tizzy in 2008, For the first time in my adult lifetime, Im really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. John McCains comments have been the big headline in conservative media because they are a direct criticism of President Obama. Republicans believe that President Obama has brought shame to the United States. In fact, many of them view the election of this president as a shameful event. The hypocrisy is that McCain openly says that he is ashamed of his country and gets praised. Michelle Obama said that she was really proud of her country, and her words were twisted into a claim that she hates America. As Rudy Giulianis comment about Obama not loving his country demonstrated, the myth that the Obamas hate America is still going strong inside the Republican Party.

Just like Darfur, we are turning a blind eye to the slaughter.
