"She described McCain as a “murderous warmongering neocon” and an “evil man” who has “supported every US military bloodbath in his obscenely long lifetime.”"
She sounds more like a faux Liberal since that's what they have been saying about McCain, Bush, and Reagan for years

"But libs!" isn't a defense. It doesn't mean there aren't hateful people on the left but that doesn't erase this vitriol, especially repulsive when they claim to be religious.
I can't stand the "both sides!" crap argument. It absolves bad behavior with the "two wrongs make a right" defense. As if we didn't all learn that wasn't true in kindergarten. This crummy argument is largely why we have Trump.
I also think there is a false equivalency there ("both sides"...but are they REALLY equivalent?), but I don't really care to go down that debate path as I'm sure it'll just drive the conversation in irrelevant directions.
To the OP of this thread - this is obviously a gross thing to think/wish upon someone. I hope McCain and his family are coping as well as can be expected. While I don't agree him on many things, I have always respected him as a politician.
Talking about the "mistakes" he made as a politician is useless and pointless. He is now an elderly gentleman who is dealing with cancer. Show some compassion please.
We play different roles in life. He is a father, a grandfather, a friend, a neighbor.. At the end of the day, everybody just wants to survive. I wish him all the very very best.
What a load of crap. A few loud mouths put up a "good riddance" post in a comment section of a magazine so Newsweek brands it as Alt Right, which nobody on the right knows what Alt Right means, behaving horribly. And right on cue, the ALT Left, whatever that is, pipes up in unison "how horrible". May all of you get a flat and have your bar-be-cues rained out this weekend.
I agree. I looked at several slang dictionary websites for definitions of Alt Right (because it's used here on CD so often & I hadn't heard the term until 5-6 months ago) and all of them suggested that an Alt Right person is a Racist (among other things).
What do these anti-McCain posts in the Newsweek article have to do with Racism? & Why would a once fine magazine like Newsweek use it? Is the word code for something else?
I like McCain & voted for him once (unlike 95% of the posters who are trashing McCain's party in this thread). I do think he had mentally lost a couple of steps the past couple of years though.
He and his wife both have a good heart & both seemed like nice people. I know they adopted a little orphan girl from India when they were on a political junket a couple of decades ago. (she's probably in her 20s now). Prayers to McCain & his family during this tough time.

Of course she is a faux liberal. She's an official of the GOP in Nevada. So definitely not a real liberal.

Do people really believe any God worthy of the title would sully him/herself in the cesspool that is American Politics?
