The liberal-biased media's belief that McCain is America's Hero and the Second Coming has nothing to do with John McCain.
They hated him when he ran for president in 2008 and haven't changed their views.
This entire overblown presentation and phony admiration is all about their hated of President Trump. If Trump were not President, McCain would have received the same brief televised coverage as any other politician. But since McCain did not like President Trump the lib media is having a field day attempting to convince everyone that democrats will save America. . . this is their big act leading up to the midterms and 2020.
Many Dems crossed over for McCain in 2000. I did. I felt that was HIS year. But Bush beat him in the primaries and the rest is history.
I voted for McCain for Senate when I lived in AZ....I don't remember his opponent but s/he didn't come close to McCain's quals.
In 2008 I was a Hillary supporter as I wanted to see the first woman President. When Obama beat her in the primaries, I looked to McCain. Then he picked Palin as his running mate and that sent me to Obama.
I am a rabid anti-trumper but your allegation is just pain wrong. Many of my friends wanted McCain back in 2000 as well, all moderate Dems as am I.
Am I the only one who feels funerals should not be televised live? I don’t like to go to funerals for close friends and family so why would I want to watch a live telecast of a funeral for someone I have no personal connection to? I agree that because of the celebrity or political status of certain individuals those people’s funerals are news worthy material and filming the funeral is warranted. I just don’t feel right about live telecast of funerals.
What bothers me most about this are the speakers who have used this as an opportunity for personal grandstanding to make political statements. Funerals are for the surviving friends and family to honor and remember those who’ve passed away and give them a chance to comfort one another. It should not be a time for individuals to get on their soap box and make social or political statements.
Yeah, why bother changing the channel? Why not come on CD and complain about it instead?
It appears the Trumpenproletariat is following the lead of their idol in taking it really badly that McCain got all that attention just by dying.
LOL! No one is reporting on Trump Tweets today! Drives them mad .

Speaking of Trump's funeral....all presidents pre-plan their funerals down to the details. And because you never know when it'll be your time, they have this plan in place even while still president.
Today Trump probably contacted the person which documents his funeral wishes and said "I want a funeral bigger and longer than John McCain's. I want the biggest and best funeral of any president ever. Believe me, it's gonna be big."
Although in true Trump fashion, he'll probably require the funeral events to be held inside one of his private clubs and charge exhorbitant per-person fees for each attendee. And then massive fees for the each section of the facility. And require Trump employees to setup and break down the chairs and flower displays, all for huge fees paid to the Trump organization. He'll probably charge a $2 million "last minute" facility fee for the facility to have the event on short notice.
Oh, that was good. Appreciate the levity.
McCain's funeral was a patriotic funeral also designed to honor his service. Coming from a military family, I do honor his years of service if not necessarily his politics.
McCain supported Trump's agenda 83% of the time. Dems suddenly love him...lol
Because he was an honorable man, who endured brutal torture as a POW, came home victorious and continued to selflessly served his country the rest of his life. And no, not "suddenly", he was loved all along, regardless of how he voted.

He was not an honorable man. See the article I posted on the Keating Five. He does, however deserve a great deal of respect for his service to our country in the Vietnam war and his years as a POW.

An honorable man? He cheated on both his wives.

This fawning is going overboard.
