Racist and War Monger John McCain died -- finally

A JOHN MCCAIN

Somewhere, John McCain is trying to push out another dump but now that's the business of Satan and his minions.

Yes, the US Senator has left the earth and we all can breathe a little easier.

Oh, his kind still exists here on earth.  Certainly, Senator Tammy Duckworth's been trying to unseat him as biggest War Monger in the Senate for years now.

But the special kind of public evil John offered will never be on display again.

Even Tammy, for example, knows she can't be racist against MLK.

But John McCain could and was.

The media whores slobbering over John McCain apparently can't tell you what TEEN VOGUE was able to explain to their readers last July -- TEEN VOGUE!:



Throughout his career, McCain has found himself in hot water numerous times for making racist comments and taking hypocritical political stances.

McCain voted against the creation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

As a first-year congressman in 1983, McCain voted against a holiday commemorating one of the most important leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. McCain said at the time that Dr. King shouldn't be memorialized because "presidents were not recognized," citing cost as another reason for his dissenting vote. Beyond voting to reject the establishment of the holiday, McCain has a history of voting against civil rights legislation, like the 1990 Civil Rights Act, which sought to ban discrimination in employment at American businesses.

McCain has been quoted using a racial slur in reference to Vietnamese people.

According to a 2000 San Francisco Gate report, McCain, who spent 5 and half years in a North Vietnamese prison camp during the Vietnam War, referred to his captors as "g**ks" when speaking with reporters at a press conference.

I hate the g**ks. I will hate them as long as I live," McCain said.
Diane Chin, executive director of the San Francisco–based organization Chinese for Affirmative Action, told the Gate at the time,"The use of a racist slur can't be acceptable for any national leader, regardless of his background."
"For someone running for president not to recognize the power of words is a problem," she said.



That's TEEN PEOPLE being more hard hitting and sporting more journalism than Jake Tapper, Kelly O'Donnell, Andrea Mitchell and so many others combined.



And once upon a time, the Democratic National Committee wasn't opposed to noting McCain's long, long history of opposing MLK day:



1983: McCain Voted Against Law Creating National Martin Luther King Holiday. In 1983, McCain voted against passing a bill to designate the third Monday of every January as a federal holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That was the year the holiday was passed into law, supported by 338 members of the House and 78 members of the Senate. [1983 House Vote #289, 8/2/1983; 1983 Senate Vote #303]
1987: McCain Supports AZ Governor's Effort to Rescind Martin Luther King Day as State Holiday. In 1987, Arizona Governor Evan Mecham rescinded "what he termed an illegal executive order by his predecessor, Democrat Bruce Babbitt, to establish a state holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr." Speaking to the Arizona Teenage Republican Convention, when asked about Mecham's decision to rescind the holiday, "McCain said that he felt Mecham was correct in rescinding the holiday." [Washington Post, 1/14/1987; Phoenix Gazette, 4/13/1987]
1989: McCain Urged Lawmakers to Create State Holiday, But Expressed Opposition to Federal Holiday. In 1989, McCain expressed his support for a state law recognizing an Arizona Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. But, McCain said, "I'm still opposed to another federal holiday... but I support the (Arizona) Martin Luther King holiday because of the enormous proportions this issue has taken on as far as the image of our state and our treatment towards not only blacks but all minorities." [Phoenix Gazette, 5/2/1989]
1992: McCain Endorsed Proposition Creating State Holiday. "McCain endorsed Proposition 300, which would establish a paid state holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr." [Phoenix Gazette, 10/28/1992]
1994: McCain Voted To Strip Federal Funding From the MLK Federal Holiday Commission. In 1994, McCain voted to prohibit federal funds for the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday Commission. The Commission was established in 1984 "to encourage the observance of King's birthday." According to Al King, head of the California chapter of the commission, the organization "helped keep 'senators' and 'representatives' feet to the fire to recognize the holiday." [1994 Senate Vote #127, 5/24/1994; Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 5/24/1995, 5/26/1995]




It was not one vote, it was not one year.  It was a long history of opposing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

That racism is also behind his hatred and desire to kill so many.

In 1973, John McCain spoke out to save Senate funding for Nixon’s secret carpet-bombing of Cambodia, which killed a half million people








John McCain heavily promoted the lies that led to the Iraq war. He championed the NATO bombing of Libya. He supported & armed the jihadists destroying Syria. He played a role in bringing neo-Nazis to power in Ukraine & backed Saudi Arabia’s genocide in Yemen. He was no hero.







McCain's "mistakes" and "errors" resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths but this won't matter because those deaths were Iraqi, Vietnamese, Palestinian, Yemeni. e.g. populations with zero purchase among US media elites.







When peace activists protested war criminal Henry Kissinger in the Senate in 2015, John McCain called their demonstration "despicable" and shouted at them, "Get out of here, you low life scum!"
