At a campaign rally, McCain also corrected a woman who was ranting that Obama was a Muslim.  It was the honorable thing to do, and probably cost him a not insignificant number of votes.

I think the respect was mutual considering McCain has requested Obama and W deliver his eulogy.

I remember that well and you're right, it probably did cost him votes. Mutual respect. 2008 feels like a lifetime ago doesn't it.

Hypocrite.

Stop, note that no other president gave the award out either.  This isn't about the idiot in office now, it is about the Senator.

Wow, you guys take my comments way too seriously. I joked that even though McCain deserved the honor, it wouldn't happen because Trump detests McCain.

It really was that simple. I took no position.

RIP.

Cantankerous old coot, but died with the same class with which he lived.

RIP to a good man.

McCain doesn't want the President to visit him let alone attend his funeral.
McCain has already asked that Presidents Obama & W. Bush give his eulogy.

They should be two very interesting eulogies by former POTUS's.
McCain, a leader with character, RIP.

This. I sometimes agreed and sometimes disagreed with the Senator - but i always admired his courage, principle and sense of duty/service. RIP indeed.

[WarriorFan]

RIP.  Never agreed with his run for President but that doesn't matter nor did it define him.  He is a hero and was a great Senator.  We need more like him.

For me, McCain's gentle but pointed response to the woman who called Obama an "Arab" will always be one of the most memorable moments of any political campaign ever.

I didn't always agree with him politically, and Palin was a disaster (which of course he grew to know), but he was a true hero and a great patriot.

"Palin was a disaster" seems political. Ban dis guy

MU82 believes the dead are just rotten body parts. Weird, sad dude who continues to put his tiny middle finger up at the rules

I often disagreed with McCain, but I feel he generally did what he believed was right. That's more than can be said about many of his colleagues. We could use more of his ilk. Rest in peace.

No, it's just one of those self-evident statements, like "the sun is hot", "water is wet", or "Notre Dame sucks."

The majority of the time when discussing someones religious believes in comparison to my atheism it's a healthy conversation with genuine curiosity on both parties part and, even though we won't ever agree on the subject, mutual respect and concern for the other person.  Seems that if the subject ever came up with McCain this would be the type of conversation we'd have.

Sometimes though, as in your case, "christians" believe that anyone who thinks differently is wrong.  I'd imagine that the same conversation with Palin would result in her calling someone who thinks differently 'sad'.  When people go down the "i'm right and you think differently and therefore are wrong" path I specifically ask them to prove it.  I have proof that the dead indeed are rotten body parts.  Do you have proof that the dead are more than that?  If not, don't you have to accept that others thoughts on the subject are more than plausible?

Personal attacks are also against the rules...

[Babybluejeans]

Let's stay on topic. Yesterday the world lost a great man, who served his country with deep commitment throughout his entire life, often in ways we can't even comprehend.

2 things about that video clip, for me:

1. How "Arab" is supposed to be an insult

2. The clip demonstrates a perfect fork-in-the-road for political discourse. Unfortunately, we chose to base our politics more on the woman's perspective than McCain's.

C'mon JB.

[tower912]

McCain's impulse was to have Lieberman as his VP and try to lead from the middle-ish.  That ticket would have tempted me.  RIP

C'mon JB.

JB tends to make a lot of posts like these late on Saturday nights. Draw your own conclusions.
