@...Luna: That’s not really accurate. It’s pretty annoying how people put veterans up on a pedestal. I’m not saying anything against McCain here, because when he’s being himself and not the monster his advisors turned him into he’s a pretty respectable guy, but to say that mocking a person who fought for our country is FAIL just isn’t true. Serving in our military right now are murderers, thieves, rapists, active gang members, wife beaters and so on. Just because they’re serving in the military doesn’t make them superhuman. It just means that for whatever reason they have found themselves in the military.
The fact of the matter is McCain did FAIL to win the election.
@...Luna: Hugo Chavez, Augusto Pinochet, Mao and Hitler all fought for their countries, as members of their armed forces, before they took over the joint and went all wacky. By your logic, we shouldn’t say bad things about them either.
Disclaimer: I am by no means suggesting that McCain is as bad as any of the above mentioned people, or that he had any intention of establishing an authoritarian/totalitarian dictatorship in America, or even that he’s at all bad as a person/politician/etc. , I’m merely pointing out the idiocy of exempting people from criticsm/mockery/satire based soley on the fact that they fought in the military.
@...AgZed: … It’s a sad state of affairs when a disclaimer is twice as long as a comment.
Disclaimer: The above is not a sleight directed at MCS viewers, Americans, or the rest of the world at large, but rather a commentary on the seemingly growing number of people who seem to have no clue about how to debate an issue and fail to realise that simply because a logical fallacy sounds good, doesn’t mean that it’s true.

@Special Kail: Unless you realise the irony of accusing someone with his particular screen name of being pedantic.
@AgZed: It is a sad day when people feel disclaimers on here are necessary. I refuse to let PC invade the haven of irrationality and childish amusement that is MCS. So, in the spirit of that resistance to uptight, small minds:
@Luna go suck a rancid donkey cock, pull the cactus out of your ass and shake the sand out of your vagina and get a fucking SENSE OF HUMOR. @magnus: He cited, are you satisfied? Also, who cares, it’s a free country…sort of…kind of…still. Either way it’s his right. You don’t have to like it but he doesn’t really have to justify himself OR leave so grow up yourself you know that. You spew racist shit on this site all the time and YOU’RE still here.
Personally, I respect his service and his time as a POW, but if you look hard into his service record it’s really not all that impressive. Had his father and grandfather not been who they were, the John McCain story would have had a much different ending.
All of you defending him should stop screaming about specific details of a man’s history and take the entirety into account before deifying him. That goes for Obama, too. No one is perfectly clean, especially in high level politics.
@...Special Kail: Not British per se, but educated there, so same difference. It’s always fun when people trap themselves into these things. Also, someone who calls themselves ‘pedantic’ should really have a better grasp of the difference between posts and threads.
“your full of fail” = fail
Yeah i know.. it was late I was drunk when i made them…
You fail for bashing a great man.
L2 Flame Palin noob.
That’s a matter of opinion Thrella. McCain’s policies do not represent what I envision this nation to be.
Please cite said policies and objections or gfto half wit teenage non voter.
This post is the real fucking FAIL.
Elepski, you are FAIL for mocking a man who fought for our country, whether you agreed with his campaign or not.
It’s kinda irritating to me that some eighth grade Krylon-huffer would think this is funny.
/voted Obama

The problem is… you all ASSUMED I was attacking his character….
These where a commentary on the effectiveness of his Campaign.. Maybe I should have included Palin too.. or used the campaign logo.. but oh well.
So stop getting defensive and stop reading falsehoods into it and take it for what it is.
As far as the list of polices i do not agree with:
-Iraq
-Iran
-North Korea
-Offshore Drilling
-His support of the corporate tax cuts
-His tax plan all together
So what is FAIL is turning this into me attacking a veteran on his service.
yes he is honorable for his actions… do these alone make him qualified to lead… not in my opinion.
And thank you Special Kail for being intelligent.

Man these threads have been creating deafening amounts of stupid.
Lotus, you know what they say about stupid…goes back to the baseline we were discussing in the forums…
@AgZed. No, they wouldn’t. That’s the plodding, oblivious borgesque glory of the pedantic mindset.
@...Special Kail: I stand corrected. Kind of. I guess.
@... all the fuckers who consider themselves “experts” at political science from watching the news:
YOU FAIL.
