Because they are deplorable, Trumpists are now attempting to Swift Boat John McCain.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

No joke.

They are spreading a patently false story that McCain was somehow responsible for the 1967 fire on the USS Forrestal that resulted in 134 deaths.

I've seen it over social media several times today. It's unbelievable.

Think about this. They are going at lengths to slander a dead, decorated war veteran who was a six term Republican senator. All because he wouldn't kneel before their God-Emperor.

And yes, you can cite to them the Snopes article which clearly rebuts the story, but at that point they'll just accuse Snopes of lying. Because facts are dead.

Trumpists are truly the lowest form of life. I'm absolutely convinced of that.

2. way too far.

we don't liken other human beings to animals, particularly not the type of animal that one tends to exterminate.

that's their thing, not ours.

they are human.

brainwashed, but human.

3. McCain's reaction to John Kerry swiftboating in 2004

"...a couple of days before McCain gushed loving praise for Bush at the Republican National Convention, he blamed Kerry for eliciting the Swiftboat attacks himself because he had made his Vietnam record a political issue in the campaign. That’s the way McCain showed his solidarity with a fellow navy vet who served in Vietnam."

When he ran in 2008 he "... accepted large campaign contributions from the following Swifboaters: Bob Perry, T. Boone Pickens, Carl Linder Sr., Harlan Crow, Jack E. Caveney, Albert Huddleston, and Sam Fox. He has even recently added the prominent Swiftboater, Bud Day, to his stable of war veterans who are currently shilling for his campaign. According to the Federal Election Commission, McCain has raked in over $600,000 in cash from former members of “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.”

I can forgive McCain for Palin but not for this.

8. Excellent reminder

McCain was a ReTHUG first and foremost.

9. In the car today, Wilcow was saying how much he liked Palin and not McCain.

He is a dickhead anyway, but bragging about being stupid?
