John McCain is a god damned patriot first. Anything else he may be considered is secondary to that.

How can Americans Boo McCain?
Maybe because he is just as big a part of the problems of this country as the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, and all the other career politicians who put us in the mess we are in now.
He should have been coutmarshalled long before he became a POW.

Even almost sinking an aircraft carrier and killing 134 US Navymen?

Because he is more than willing to send American kids to 3rd world hellholes to die so defense contractors, oil companies and Saudi royals can become billionaires.

John McCain has proven his legacy, ego and personal feud with POTUS are far more important to him than giving relief to the American people. His own constituents are being financially raped and his response is to say nope, nope, nope.
His little show on the Senate floor, including his "thumbs down" was just nasty showboating, and I personally did not appreciate it. He seriously needs to step down for the good of the country, but his ego won't allow him to do that.

Just because he's a war "hero" does not mean he is innoculated from criticism.
Love how Democrats now feel for people like Comey and McCain and express their admiration for the two just because they have a beef with Trump.
A year ago Damocrats wanted Comey flayed in public and they could not have cared less about McCain and his corrupt ways...He was part of the Keating 5

Scum and you would think I was talking about Scarborough.

Tell me what happened with his intern, again?
Shut up Joe

8 years ago Progs made Trumps comments look like child's play while they were attacking him and Palin.
Why the change?
Question was rhetorical.

I don't necessarily disagree with all the points Joe Brzezinski is making but: frick him...

Scarborough dropping the truth that trumpkins would rather avoid.
quote:
The guys I came up with in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and northwest Florida for more than 40 years would never boo a former American prisoner of war — especially one who refused to return home until the enemy released every one of his buddies in the prison camp. Southern guys like us loved that “leave no man behind” ethos when John Wayne or Sylvester Stallone exhibited it on movie screens. So why would you even think of booing a man, now fighting for his life, who showed that true grit in real life?
But boo Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) you did, at the behest of President Trump during a rally in Alabama last week.
Mike Allen of Axios further reported this week that Trump has been “physically mocking” the thumbs-down gesture McCain used to deliver the deciding vote against the Republican health-care bill in July. Did that mocking involve an imitation of McCain’s stiff arm movements? In case you haven’t read a newspaper in the 45 years since we played on the same Dixie Youth Baseball team together, McCain got the hell beaten out of him by the communists who held him in the Hanoi Hilton for more than five years.
At that same time, Trump was dodging the draft by claiming that bone spurs stopped him from serving his country in uniform. And yet this crippling condition didn’t stop the spoiled Ivy League student from playing football, tennis and golf. After four draft deferments, Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968 on the same day 40 U.S. servicemen were killed in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, McCain continued receiving the beatings that would forever leave him incapable of lifting his arms over his head. He kept enduring torture because he refused to leave his band of brothers behind.
Do you have that kind of character? If you booed McCain at last week’s rally, don’t bother answering. Someone has obviously failed you in your life; you probably need to spend some time figuring out who that was. And if you still go to church, you may also want to pray for all those around you who put tribal politics ahead of basic humanity.
Then maybe you should drive home and tell your children the story of John McCain’s sacrifice. If you can teach your children that lesson of heroism, there’s a chance they might grow up to have more character than the president you now praise.

I appreciate his service in the military. I am saddened by the pain and suffering that was levied on him.
However, just because you do something good, you dont get a pass when you do something bad. His service to this country is appreciated but the acts he has committed as a senator are to be judged separately.
Just like a bad person can sometimes do good...

Ever heard of Benedict Arnold? He was one of the first patriots. He was a war hero too. He suffered battle injuries that sidelined him too. He switched ideologies too
He's not thought of as patriot currently

I could not agree more. He endured torture during his time at war to help protect our right to criticism him.
