'He is burning in Hell': Fox News commenters trash John McCain hours after his death (Raw Story)

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/burning-hell-fox-news-commenters-trash-john-mccain-hours-death/


Commenters at the Fox News website on Sunday attacked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) just hours after the war hero’s death.

Although Fox News disabled comments in many of its stories about McCain, readers were allowed to express disdain for the late senator in several others.

One article about former Sen. Jon Kyl’s remembrance of McCain racked up nearly 1,500 comments in the first hour after publication. Multiple commenters said “good riddance” to McCain.

“McCain was a traitor!” LenardMiller205 wrote in the very first comment.

“Not a hero. He’s a TRAITOR. Big difference,” commenter BlackSix wrote.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t celebrate the life of a man who has done so much evil,” Oldster13 opined. “He is burning in Hell right now, and receiving the due payment for his evil deeds.”

Several commenters accused McCain of being a “puppet” for liberal billionaire George Soros.

Dear Leader hates him, so flying monkey see, flying monkey do. I'm willing to bet everything I own that the vast majority of those fools voted for McCain for President in 2008.

And I swear to god the second they start bringing up George Soros in any argument, I'm done. That's enough to let me know that they're part of the cult.

No science, no facts, no reality, no caring for America, it's morals or it's people - just hate, hate, hate and fear is all that consumes them.

You can't say awful, hateful shit in one sentence, and in the next say "Jesus loves you ". It doesn't work that way.

Ironic that we are praising him now and they were when trying to help him win in 2008.

The father of one of my best friends shared a meme about McCain's death that said, "Thank you, God, for helping to drain the swamp." It's stomach churning.

I'm afraid I'm a very bad liberal because I don't really know (or care) who George Soros is. I know he's rich and that's about it.

McCain's political behaviors by default. The right owns him and his legacy. They own everything Republicans in congress have done over entire period since McCain entered in 1983.

was doing her undercutting thing. Against 'rising con star' Kevin McCarthy who said, on saving healthcare for millions, it was what 'John
McCain believed.'
