McCain and Bush supporters virtually INVENTED swift boating. Talking about crying wolf!
McCain isn't despised for breaking under torture. He's despised for all the other things he did and continues to do. Watch the video if you haven't eaten recently and you'll understand. Hero, my foot! Benedict Arnold would qualify ahead of him.
McCain doesn't oppose ratting out his buddies
... if you believe vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.org
Actually that seems to be a dead link now, but wikki has an article on them, and I think you can still see this on YouTube:
Now I don't care for Rand Paul any better than I do for McCain, either. Just wanted to make that clear.
Although I was against the Vietnam war, agreeing with Bradley, I still accepted and wore an honorary POW bracelet with a particular captain's name on it, and that man never returned. Even now I wear it on Veteran's Day. Add to that the lesser crime of McCain's involvement in the Keating scandal which vaporized a group of investors I had won for a film project, and you'll understand why I'll never take the pins out of my McCain doll.
Home At Last
That's how I feel, walking in the door. While I do at times disagree with President Barack Obama, I enjoy great respect for him. It's a myth - actually a low-down dirty lie - that everyone on his extreme left has serious issues with him. One of these days when it's not too late in the evening, I'll share a letter I wrote to him after a funny dream. Don't worry, it's clean!
The wittiest response
... to the best thread I've encountered so far. And believe me, there's a wealth of choices on this website.
Too bad I arrived so lately; in my more honest moments, I have to admit I might have a Little Meta living somewhere inside me. While I try not to beat a dead horse, sometimes it's irresistible. Then I just want to keep answering every little twitch it makes until it gives up or out.
Someone recently asked if the thread on proofreading had turned into a meta. Not only (if at all) because of me, I hope.
Now, I'll yield the floor to my betters.
There's such a thing
.... as too far over the top to be acceptable. And most people who overstep usually retreat to a false claim of 'just kidding'. Learn modulation if you really don't seek to offend.
One last thing: you can't apologize for someone else's feelings. I own mine and you own yours. "Sorry you were offended" is just a cop out. What you need do is apologize for your own behavior that caused the offense - if indeed there's any sincerity to your apology.
I wasn't offended
Just mystified. Maybe it's because I skipped my afternoon nap. Not making the connection between the two posts so I'd have a chance of understanding the humor. And I hate to miss out.
I like puns
and this nickname seems to suggest, "Yes (aye), I'm Irish".
Well, I didn't say it was a good pun.
Who be ye?
