I don't think you remember right. The Democrats, of course, tried their best to picture McCain in negative light. Isn't that what American politics is today? However, I don't remember him being called racist and every other foul name in the book. That part is reserved for Donald Trump. Of course, you guys did and still do that to Hillary and her emails, and that is 2 years after the election for God's sake!Except when he ran against Obama, the media called him racist, divisive, and every other foul name in the book.
Now, because he stood against Trump, he’s suddenly a hero.
The media in this country is laughably pathetic.
What norm? It’s likely a high-profile, public affair wholly unlike, say, a funeral for Cousin Ernie. I assume there will be lots of focus on his lifelong commitment to service and people (including public officials) talking about that as much as anything. Given that, it’s only natural he wanted to avoid allowing antagonists to disrupt or distort that theme. And including themed messages around topics like Russia (a topic he committed a portion of his service to) isn’t exactly the same thing as holding a grudge and telling my siblings not to allow Cousin Jud to come because he never brought back the drill set he borrowed. And while I wouldn’t care either way, it’s not “disinviting” if you were never invited to begin with. This all strikes me as painfully obvious.Trump is a malignant a$$hole which provides a dispensation for violating the norm.
I am trying not to pay any attention to this circus, but overall it seems very unhero-like for someone that historically showed plenty heroism, modesty and willingness to work across lines. But, if this is how McCain wants to be remembered, that's his own choice and we'll all have to accept that.
I suppose one could look at McCain's years of public service, painful self-sacrifice as a soldier and prisoner-of-war, heroism, modesty, an willingness to work across lines and think that the big difference here is McCain has radically changed after all of these years. It seems more likely that there is something unique and extraordinary here that is outside of McCain driving these results, but I guess your mileage on this may vary from mine.
Cheap shot? I am 60. I’ve not once heard of anyone being disinvited to a wake or funeral. Petty!!!!
Southern? That's news . . .McCain admitted to having a temper. And it may be a southern thing, I know in my childhood my grandmother would pull out the "don't you come to my funeral" just about every time I misbehaved.

And ironically he had a hand in what has now become Trump’s party. Bringing on Palin in 2008 gave rise to the Tea Party. Trump cashes in on their fear and anger and now we have this mess.He connected with his Republican base just fine, until the age of Trump. He represented Republicans for over 30 years. He voted with them over 80% of the time. He knew Trump for what he was, for what most of us know he is. This, unacceptable for the party of Trump.I find it....um.... ironic.... that your two posts about what you admire of McCain surround the admiration he displayed for some of the most left leaning people of the Democratic Party in Obama and Kennedy. Hence why his service to the country is respected by me but his inability to connect with the republican base is understandable.One other historical curiosity. McCain passed nine years to the day after his friend, Senator Ted Kennedy, succumbed to exactly the same form of cancer. In 2009, McCain delivered a memorable eulogy at his fellow lion's memorial.
Almost a modern "Jefferson lives" type coincidence.
You gotta draw the line somewhere.I am trying not to pay any attention to this circus, but overall it seems very unhero-like for someone that historically showed plenty heroism, modesty and willingness to work across lines.

It's comforting that McCain's funereal instructions might not necessarily eject him from the tribe, because it was just the metastasizing cancer cells in his head that made him reject Trump. But for fatal brain cancer, what dead war hero could possibly reject Trump? The important thing is that Sarah Palin morphed from an ignoramus into a heroic vice presidential candidate then inexplicably back into the ignorant grifter her critics always said she was, all without you ever being wrong.McCain died of BRAIN cancer. In other words, his mind was ravaged with cancer. His decisions about who attends his funeral need to be seen in that light. Palin maintained her admiration for McCain throughout. That puts her way ahead of her critics in terms of civility.
His decisions about his funeral seem to be very well thought out. My guess is he made them with the help of his family, long ago. You really are attributing his decisions about this to his illness?I am trying not to pay any attention to this circus, but overall it seems very unhero-like for someone that historically showed plenty heroism, modesty and willingness to work across lines.

Not necessarily. But it is a reasonable assumption. Brain cancer affects the mind even before the confirming diagnosis.

I've not seen glioblastoma cause people to lose cognitive ability differently in death than other manners of dying.

Hogwash.McCain died of BRAIN cancer. In other words, his mind was ravaged with cancer. His decisions about who attends his funeral need to be seen in that light. Palin maintained her admiration for McCain throughout. That puts her way ahead of her critics in terms of civility.

Because of his service I choose to give him this benefit of doubt. The amount of meds you are on through these illnesses in itself impede your thought processes. I have no doubt that Trump would not be one of his favorites even if he was perfectly healthy but I doubt the words/actions would be so public. The Palin thing is odd....it sounds like he blamed her for his last loss....McCain died of BRAIN cancer. In other words, his mind was ravaged with cancer.

Awe....poor guy.... always looking for an argument aren’t ya? I think that could be said about every post on this thread am I wrong? I doubt they care about anyone’s opinion. But since my response was not to the family....once again swing and missI'm sure the McCain family will be relieved by your willingness to grant him the benefit of doubt, Dr. Hack.
If it quacks like a doctor...I'm sure the McCain family will be relieved by your willingness to grant him the benefit of doubt, Dr. Hack.
You have to admire his relentless pursuit of the Lie.Morning tweets to shift attention away from McCain funeral starting ....
Pointless tweet other than to try and shine attention back onto him during a sombre weekend. What a loathsome human being.

It's true though. How is he able to hold his infinitely infinite-long Pinocchio nose aloft?I am not sure I would ever put the words 'admire' and 'Trump' in the same sentence.
And which fake dossier was delivered personally to the White House by one John McCain or so they say.Morning tweets to shift attention away from McCain funeral starting ....

Read every single one. If you weren’t talking about not inviting Trump to the funeral, then fine - I apologize. But I’m fairly certain you were including Trump’s lack of invitation with that of Palin when using brain cancer to explain McCain’s decisions. Not that you’d ever admit it.Good grief. My point about the ravages if brain cancer have zilch to do with Trump. You and fish are the only ones who bring up Trump. I only did in response to fish and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Did you even read my posts before you uncorked this one from your ass?
