I actually envision some posters wetting their drawers they get SO upset.
While it in fact HAS become a thread attacking Sen McCain, it is still a wonder how many take time to attack him. I do not get the purpose.

All over the country (except certain places in our capital) and through the world people are lauding him, YET on here we attack.

Tells, and has told a lot, about the posters on here. This was not INTENDED to be political, but from the first post folks have been on the attack. The normal response to having someone you think is a hero, is to do a comparison. Then other posters who fail to understand why, or even care about the original intent start with the reporting of "political".

Do you really feel all the attacks on Sen. McCain are really appropriate?. I mean folks have run to very far right and left wing extremists to get INCORRECT AND OUT OF CONTEXT quotes to get after his legacy. Of course our POTUS leads, and that alone will have you running to the mods, but it is true, and just a simple statement and adherence to the countries wishes to honor him would have been all needed.

It seems to me that the apparent need to hate somebody, or spread a fear has become chronic.....NONE OF the fears ever come to fruition, but it makes a lot of money for the extreme sites.

And "THIS SUBJECT" you refer to was to honor a man. Pretty simple,
