To every news source in this country - Huge Story you should be reporting

[maxrandb]

FOX NEWS HAD TO LOCK THEIR COMMENTS SECTIONS ON EVERY FUCKING JOHN MCCAIN STORY because it read like the comments were coming straight from the depths of hell.

It's an important story to those MSM members that have shown thousands of hours of Donnie Short Fingers voters sitting about a table in Dumbfuckistan, 'Murika explaining their "economic angst".

Just read the Fox News comments on any John McCain story...and then tell me that we "need to understand" these fuckwads.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

1. I agree

The scum showed up this morning on fox friends news clips whining they could not post their opinions. Then proceeded to use those clips comments to post their filth.

20. Our nation is in serious if not a fatal down spiral to the bottom.

I hold the Republican Party responsible for this situation. Rather than denounce the hate radio jocks and FOX they have indorsed them and encouraged them to disseminate hatred and division. They are destroying the nation.

Rest in Peace John McCain you were one of the last faithful warriors who put nation before party.

[Hortensis]

2. These creeps aren't just in the woodwork.

Take a look at Kelli Ward, running for AZ's other senate seat. Apparently her newest conspiracy theory is that McCain timed his death to distract AZ media from her bus tour.

Actually, she's a hard-right trumpian swamp creature, and the idea that McCain and family at least might have been pleased that his announcement and then death would distract from the campaign of such a person isn't that unbelievable. A last service he could do for his state?

Poor, abused Ward is touring with Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich (!!!) to GOTV from the woodwork for tomorrow's AZ primary. Apparently she was worried that crowds of media wouldn't be there to ask her if she also thinks there's no such thing as date rape, just sluts asking for it.

From AZCentral: "I don't really know what Mike Cernovich's views are," Ward said. "I know he's got an audience and we want to serve everyone." "I went from libertarian to alt-right after realizing tolerance only went one way and diversity is code for white genocide.” ~ Cernovich October 2015

WaPo: One of Ward’s staffers on Saturday wrote a Facebook post wondering whether the timing of the statement from McCain’s family, made on the same day that Ward’s statewide bus tour kicked off, was simply a coincidence or a tactic “to take media attention off her campaign.”

Ward did not dispute the notion and said in reply: “I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that they hope is negative to me."

McCain died just hours after Ward’s Facebook comments.

6. Everything is centered around her?

Sounds familiar, like another narcissist we know and despise.

[Hortensis]

11. Sure strikes me that way. She's also a conspiracist

and reportedly her husband is also. Makes me wonder how many people looking for matches on line these days are filtering for political compatibility. "Don't bother answering if you don't believe Hillary eats children's faces."

[rainin]

8. Anyone need a textbook example of narcissism?

[Hortensis]

16. :) Forget financial disclosures. Maybe we should insist

on psychological evaluations and disclosures, and that would tend to cover the rest.

In today's world I see no reason why megalomania or a world view from the deepest depths of the rabbit hole would hurt someone with constituencies who like that. Quite the contrary.

Itm, Ward and Arpaio are apparently competing for kind of people whose posts are giving Fox a bad image (!), helping the lead candidate who's still trying to recover from being caught expressing less than passionate admiration for Der Leader.

3. They sound like Russian bots. Kinda hard to tell the difference. nt

[dalton99a]

5. Putin ordered anti-McCain production because McCain refused to bow down and assimilate

"Putin is not America's friend, nor merely a competitor. Putin is America's enemy — not because we wish it so, but because he has chosen to be."

- John McCain, July 12, 2018

[blaze]

9. McCain handed over the Steele Dossier.

Bots or not (and McCain recognized the seriousness of Russian Cyber attacks), they hate him because he handed over the Steele Dossier.

[dalton99a]

10. McCain also fiercely condemned Putin's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine

and he was very vocal about supporting countries bordering Russia, particularly NATO members Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Ukraine and Georgia.

Putin was scared of McCain because he kept speaking out against Russian expansionism in the Senate and the press.

[Pobeka]

7. This is a VERY important possibility.

A significant mission of Russia is to divide us, to make us hate each other more, so there is less chance that we'll sit down and have real conversations with each other.

Divided we fall...

[Chakaconcarne]

19. Yep, I have been thinking the same thing....

When I see these horrible comments from the right, I have been asking myself lately if people (Americans) could really be that evil...

because it is evil.

[NewJeffCT]

15. McCain's approval with Republicans

was underwater as of last week, while he was 60-31 approval among Democrats.

[SunSeeker]

17. Yep. Like I said, kinda hard to tell the difference between Republicans and Russian bots. nt

[Lucky Luciano]

22. 60-31 amongst democrats. Tells you how far right the thugs have gone.

Probably also indicates tge democrats have moved to the right as well over the last 50 years.

[NewJeffCT]

24. I'm hoping

it's because they approve of McCain as a person

[SunSeeker]

25. McCain saved thousands of lives when he voted down ACA repeal last year.

Dems appreciate that kind of thing. We're funny that way.

[SunSeeker]

28. No, it indicates McCain moved left. Which he did.

He reversed his position on the flying of the Confederate flag and he supported immigration. If you don't kowtow to the racists, you lose GOP support fast. Then, last year, he dramatically voted against ACA repeal, upholding Obama's signature legislative achievement. He saved thousands of lives in doing so. Us Dems like that kind of thing, ya know.

[Lucky Luciano]

29. Definitely still a Warhawk.

I appreciate very much his ACA vote. That was a big one, but most of the time he did tow the party line when he voted. ACA was huge though and deserves a lot of consideration.

He had a decency I appreciate as well.

The Warhawk thing though is tough to swallow to say the least. I distinguish his hawkishness from the likes of Cheney though - Cheney was a war profiteer which is obviously 10x worse.

4. In the mornings, I usually switch back and forth between MSNBC and CNN...

...but sometimes their commercials are in sync and I will switch over to FOX just to see what they are talking about?

This morning, both CNN and MSNBC were talking about John McCain and his legacy.

FOX was talking about "youth unemployment" at an all-time low. And the lady host, not the usual one, was saying that we would not hear this on any of the other networks, only FOX.

But, as I quickly switched channels, FOX will not say one word about the economy that Trump inherited or the huge taxcuts that were not needed or the huge deficits that they have created, robbing our government of the opportunity to invest in the people of this country.

If you want only part of the story, watch FOX News.

[SunSeeker]

18. Yes, all the unemployed figures are just maintaining the trend started under Obama.

Obama gave Trump the gift of a recovered economy, and Trump wants us to think he did it himself.

[IronLionZion]

12. Fox News viewers are straight from the depths of hell

with the support of Russian bots.

[Achilleaze]

13. Fox republican "values" are the slime at the bottom of the moral cesspool

further proof

[B Stieg]

14. This is sad (and not in the Trump way)

The notion that there are Americans so "addicted" to demonstrably false constructs that they'll believe anything is quite disturbing.

This guy McCain IS an American hero who, despite some misguided politics, more often than not tried to adhere to essential, core Democratic principles. The Founders were afraid of factionalism and sectionalism, and McCain saw those dangers clearly.

And, as a result, the biggest faction in America today, the Cult of Trump, reviles him at his passing.

Who are the real patriots again?

[Pepsidog]

21. Our country is in serious jeopardy so long as Fox is allowed to continue to spew lies and hate

[Mr. Ected]

23. Such words are typically reserved for Democrats who have passed

I think the propaganda effect of several decades has conditioned conservatives to be manipulated like sheep with greater and greater ease. The puppet masters can take the most auspicious of local heroes and defile them in a short period of time to be construed as if they were a long-time foe.

The reason for Trump's consistent (yet poor) favorability ratings, his deflection of Russian and other felonious implications, though disproven by information in the public sector, the proliferation of fake news accusations when the actual fake news is what is being dispensed by their media sources, is the influence of unfettered, unmitigated propaganda. These people believe what they want to believe, not the truth. They believe that the man who was their overwhelming choice as a presidential nominee just 10 years prior is now anathema to their core beliefs. The world didn't change. Conservatism didn't change. Their minds have been altered. We are now tasked with a deprogramming effort that will either make or break the republic.

[jberryhill]

26. "the man who was their overwhelming choice as a presidential nominee just 10 years prior"

Kind of amazing. McCain is the person they wanted elected president instead of Obama, and they can't stand him. Really weird, these people.

[Snotcicles]

27. Faux News the National Enquirer of Broadcast media. nt
