  1. That’s a real shame. When critics of torture would expouse that torture was unreliable, I would always point out that it worked on poor John. RIP your family will miss you.

    1. “When critics of torture would expouse that torture was unreliable, I would always point out that it worked on poor John.”

      Actually, John McCain is a textbook example of why torture DOESN’T work. Under severe and extended duress, he offered up a mixed bag of information, including the names of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line as members of his squadron, and North Vietnamese cities that U.S. planes had already bombed as future targets. He also “confessed” to being a “black criminal” who “performed the deeds of an air pirate”, whatever that means.

    1. But according to Shakespeare’s Mark Anthony, the good that men do is buried with their bones while the evil lives on, or something like that. This guy supported ISIS for crying out loud.

  6. He thought for himself, and refused to let the “party line” do his thinking for him.

    I respected that, even though I often disagree with him. America could use more like him.

    1. He did let the ‘party line’ do his thinking, it just wasn’t the Republican party. He was also pushing Lois Lerner and the IRS to do ruinous background checks on all the tea party. I bet he even voted for Obama, twice.

        2. Well Killer Marmot, apparently I know how he voted better than you know electoral history.

    1. Good riddance. Good start.
      Let’s have a parade and celebrate.

      Hillary twin. Treason for cash.
      Every small war and arms deal this century. Killed millions. Got a percentage.
      Directing IRS to crush the Tea Party.
      Song Bird of Hanoi.
      Benghazi.
      Isis.
      USS Forest Fire.
      Republicans refused to vote for the corrupt treasonous evil, giving Obama the biggest electoral college win in history.
      Steady ally of Hillary, Obama, and Soros.
      Enabled ObamaCare. Voted against repeal of ObamaCare.
      Hand-delivered the ‘Steele dossier’ to FBI Director James Comey

    1. Saying “….Have nothing good to say about him, so I will be silent!” is not being silent.

  9. Undoubtedly the leftists will attempt to use his death as a cudgel against his conservative enemies, starting with President Trump.

    May his family receive comfort from God and his fellow countrymen at this difficult time.

  10. Fox News asked what the people of Arizona were fe-e-e-ling about the passing of John McCain. My feeeeeelllling? … somber, respectful … jubilation.

    Mostly … I appreciate that he actually followed the recommendations of the Obamakkare he so dearly loved (and voted to save) … assisted suicide. He obviously took the deadly IV … like a humane death row execution. I expect he was the one who pushed the plunger to start the death cocktail. He went out as a ‘Maverick’ … good. He saved the taxpayers anymore expensive end of life care. He took himself out before the Death Panel (Obamakkare actuarials) pushed the plunger on him.

  11. not soon enough!!!

    remember folks, that a$$hole helped move the fake dossier into play!!!

  12. So farewell John McStain, launcher of thousand bombs (continued on page 94, after Private Eye)

  13. A man once reviled by the left as a war monger magically transformed by his animus towards Trump into a hero of the left and the progressives.

    Perhaps in heaven John will finally be forced to fraternize with the people he looked down upon. You know the ones, the common man he claimed to be concerned about.

    1. “A man once reviled by the left as a war monger magically transformed by his animus towards Trump into a hero of the left and the progressives.”

      Many of his policy positions are still reviled by many on the left, but yeah, in this day and age of hyper-partisanship and presidential demands for reflexive deference and loyalty, a Republican politician with the guts to actually stick with his/her principles is indeed a ‘hero’, or at least someone worthy of respect and courtesy, in life and in death.

  15. Fought for his country, endured torture, persevered to live a busy and active life. Nearly made it to President. Like many I was not always in agreement but like many I respect the man immensely. Rest in peace.

    1. Crashed numerous planes, should have been drummed out of the military, but survived because of parental interference. Broke under torture. Committed adultery. As a forty year old left his wife and children for a woman fifteen years his junior. Stabbed Tea Party Conseratives in the back. Fake Steele dossier. What’s to respect?

      1. Assisted ISIS and anti-Assad terrorists. Created mayhem that resulted in death and chaos. What’s not to like.

      2. greg, the only thing in your post that is significant, is his politics at the end, the tea party and dossier part. You are wrong about the “plane” shyt. As to breaking under torture, you step up and when we see you don’t break………. The personal stuff, just means he was human. He got butthurt near the end of his life and didn’t man-up and quit politics as he should have.

        He committed adultery, that covers about 70% of the human race!

  16. His father was a traitor and so was he. He is in the ground where this piece of globalist shit belongs.

  17. Not a follower, don’t know his life well enough to judge overall, but rather suspect he served his country much better by his naval career than by anything afterwards. As a soldier I have to respect that he went willingly to active service and admire him for his reported conduct as a prisoner of war. Time to stay criticism and leave his family to mourn.

    1. Well said

      Silver Star
      Legion of Merit x2
      Distinguished Flying Cross
      Bronze Star x3
      Purple Heart x2
      Navy Commendation Medal
      Marine Corps Commendation Medal
      Prisoner of War Medal

      Let us remember his for these and not mention his politics on this occasion. RIP.

      1. Did you know that he was awarded a medal for every 1/2 hour of flying time he had over Veitnam? Amazing I know. What a wonderful pilot he was. (Sarc)

  18. Since the time when he threw Sarah Palin under the bus, John Noname has been dead to me. I look forward to the revelation of the skulduggery he was engaged in during the last 10 years.

  20. Who will Arizona elect to do what Jane Fonda did for them in the Senate? Er I mean John Kerry. Er I mean… are there any Democrats who ever liked America?

  22. I am ambivalent, the man did good; the man did evil.

    He will, like every other human, face his Maker to account for his life here which is now history.
    I am sure God will be able to find him just or unjust. I trust and am thankful that He will judge fairly and rightly.
    All else is speculation and opinion.
    He now knows whether his fight was for truth and justice or for bondage for the American people and those in the rest of the world. I hope he chose wisely.

  25. Some how I think the US would be better off if the Navy had plucked McCain’s wings when he lost his first aircraft.

  27. He made a lot of touble for a lot people. He was a petty and vain man. He sold out the president on Obama care.

    1. By “sold out the president”, you mean he voted against the unilateral skinny repeal of Obamacare, when neither the Republican president nor the Republican-controlled House nor the Republican-controlled Senate had yet been able to present a viable replacement healthcare plan that was supported by the majority of Republicans in Congress?

      The question that you need to ask is, Why didn’t the Republicans just come up with a replacement healthcare plan that its members could support? They had seven years to develop something. If they’d produced a viable alternative, then they’d easily have the votes. But all they could offer was to blow up what currently existed, while offering no convincing and specific alternative of what would be better. The resulting hole would do nothing except harm everyday Americans, including those living in Arizona.

      McCain’s vote (and Murkowski’s, and Collins’s) was a reflection of Republican policy-making failure, not of ‘selling out’ their party, whatever that even means.

  29. Swamp creature returns to the mud.
    It was always about him.
    He screwed his party and his buddies over Obamacare.
    That is called a tell or maybe he revealed who he really was.

  30. Funny how these swamp rats attain sainthood as soon as they croak. Revisionist history immediately takes over the air waves and hangs on far longer than it should. Thank God for channel changers.

  31. His political career would have been more productive had there been term limits and he were retired decades ago. RIP Senator McCain.

  32. When the “liar” of the Senate died, a friend and I toasted his descent into hell with Guinness.
    The Songbird’s descent, I suppose, requires Negra Modelo or Corona.

  33. He was no doubt a very courageous individual. Wether I agreed or disagreed with his particular political positions he can rest in peace after a full life, well lived.

  34. Condolences to his family and friends in the DNC.

    Seriously, my first thought upon hearing the news was that finally, a persistent thorn in Trump’s side is gone. However, what do you want to bet that he has recorded some messages to be released just before the midterms? No matter his distant war hero past, his more recent conduct tells me that he would relish one last opportunity to plunge a knife in the back of his supposed Republican allies, and THAT is the John McCain I will remember.

  35. It wasn’t until Trump challenged McCain’s “war hero stats”, that I learned that McCain, disobeyed his superiors and flew his air craft it to an enemy area, that he was ordered not to fly into. He was shot down, as his superiors suspected he would be.

    The media hid that part away from me.

    He was captured, was tortured, and proved that torture actually works. Were any of McCain’s comrades killed in trying to free him,,,,like Bowe Bergdahl?

  36. MCCain’s father was a US Navy admiral at the time of the attack on the USS Liberty. He endorsed the findings of the court of inquiry into the attack . Jr of course shared dad’s opinion.

    Lots has been written on the subject. Sifting thru it all it looks unlikely that is was a case of mistaken identity by Israel. Nor that Israel acted on its own. The evidence suggests that Israel was recruited by Pres. LB Johnson and the JCS as part of a false flag operation to blame pro-soviet Egypt for the attack so that the US could open up a war against Egypt. Bombers were dispatched from an aircraft carrier to bomb Cairo in retaliation but where called back in the last minute when it looked like the false flag could not be covered up (eye witness survivors cuz the Liberty would not sink to the bottom of the Mediterranean).

  37. John had a deep hatred of Communist leadership, he called the US media & visiting Hanoi Jane’s the anti-war groups (Failed to correctly call them out as Communists) The US media betrayed the US military in Vietnam and it’ s disgraceful that CBS (General Westmoreland Law suit) & CNN (Peter Arnett) spew hypocritical words of praise for John… It was MIKE Wallace (father of Fox Chris) that demonized (they poisoned public opinion) all Vietnam veterans…
    The media must never again be allowed to hid behind fake new to push the Communist agenda.. Yes! they were the enemy

  38. This guy is such a creep and I won’t put anything past this POS. Nor do I believe ANYTHING the MSM says. Something is not passing the smell test here. Daughter says “he took his own way out.”

    Possibilities:

    He suicided himself.
    He was suicided.
    He faked his death and is still alive…somewhere.

  39. WOW the hatred and vile messages here sound not like conservatives but that lower life form — trumpanzees or Russian Trolls

    John McCain understood the threat of Russia and especially it’s leader Vladimir Putin. Too bad his president does not see things the same way and debased himself in Helsinki this summer.

    1. You need to dig deeper. The richest man in Russia is Putin. He has major secret holdings in every multi-billionaire mafia oligarch’s companies in return for granting them license to operate. So sanctioning these oligarchs and preventing them from accessing their US$ holdings is a pretty good way to hold Putin and his mafia friends by the short ones. This is exactly what Trump has done and is doing. Know a better way of controlling someone than by seizing their bank deposits and income?

      No Name (I won’t say that POS’s name) “understood” the Russian threat? Hah good one. He was the guy that passed along the fake Russian dossier. He was a major participant in the fake Russia collusion story. That’s hardly recognizing Russia as an enemy. It is the work of a traitor which is exactly what this POS a$$hole is.

      1. Why is it high level Democrats got rich while in office while Trump got rich before going into office?
        Who are the colluders again?

  40. Hard to find anything about the man that could be classified as Republican. He threw Sarah under the bus, sent the IRS after tea party groups,tended to vote with the democrats way too often, and supported Obamacare. His pro union, anti business stance was pretty sickening as well. All in all he would of been a NDPer up here. Condolences to the family.

    Captcha asked me to select storefronts, and then put up Sears as one of the options. Tough one.

  43. McCain was a real man. Something Trump never was or is. And more class and integrity in his little toe that Trump could ever have. Oh, and then there’s Trump’s military service. Bone spurs, my arse.

  46. “McCain appears to criticize Trump in farewell message to the nation.”

    It was only a matter of time before the mediocracy spoke for the dead, being terminal, fresh from their latest fake news fiasco.

    “Speaking of country’s best qualities, we weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe.”

    Perhaps he was referring to the identity ideologues over at the DeMarxist denizens, were everything is race, race, race.

    When it isn’t Trump, Trump, Trump, or Russia, Russia, Russia. Anyway here are the rest of his comments; judge for yourselves:

    “We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been,”

    “Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.”

    Maybe he was referring to Trump after all. ; > )
