Discussion: John McCain Dukes It Out With Jay Carney Over Obama's ISIS Speech (VIDEO)

If there is one thing McCain is expert in it is the use of falsehoods as facts. It just irks him that others still have the cognitive ability to recall them while all he has is stale, old gop talking points.

I suspect his staff just demands his appearances on these TV shows and the producers love it for what they see as drama and to throw a bone to the right.

Okay, yeah, whatever, Bomb Iran Man. But meanwhile, the presumptive 2016 Democratic nominee is out there trashing the president and saying none of this would have happened had he only listened to her. And this really sticks in my craw, because nothing has weakened Americaā€™s hand in foreign policy more than the Iraq War, which she and McCain enthusiastically voted for, and which itā€™s clear sheā€™d gladly vote for again. Can someone explain to me why, in 2014, with the nation still sick of war and no popular appetite for getting drawn back into the Middle East, Hillary Clinton is positioning herself to appeal to the neocon vote, which comprises ~1% of the electorate and is concentrated entirely in Washington? Is it just bubbleitis? Is that just who she is? Or is she just still surrounded by crapulent advisors of the ilk that lost her the election in 2008?

Could not agree more. I never watch any of the Sunday shows so i was quite taken aback by his behavior on MSNBC last night. He could not wait to start spitting out garbage about our president. No matter what the president said last night, he was going to be angry about it.

McCain is condescending in his self-righteousness. His extremely poor judgment about anything and everything can be summed up in two words: Sarah Palin. Enough said.

But Gore did the same after he lost to Bush and the press would constantly ask him to macromanage every move he madeā€¦

Oh wait

Nevermind.

I understand McCain camera hopped from one major news network to the next last night. Someone joked that heā€™d probably show up on QVC next.
The ā€œliberalā€ media loves the guy. I donā€™t know if they are doing him any favors constantly giving him the mic though. Heā€™s coming across like a bitter loser instead of statesman.

Donā€™t count on it. He will find his way to obscurity on MSNBC soon enough. Republican bloviators canā€™t stand the heat of a contrary opinion, they will run him off.

Rhetorically, from the perspective of the average Americanā€“who prolly doesnā€™t know or care that 6 mos. ago Sen. Bomby McBombypants wanted the WH to arm ISIL and is susceptible to the falsehood that ā€œwe had it won,ā€ in Iraq (notwithstanding the fact that our annointed leader of the country was a sectarian despot who was never going to unite his fractured country)ā€“Iā€™m afraid the uber polite and wonkish Carney got rolled in this exchange.

The disgrace is that the ā€œliberalā€ media is so scared to challenge him.Guess they donā€™t want to risk having their Sunday star not show up for his weekly Sunday closeups and providing them with soundbites.
He would not even talk to Rachel, which is why they they bought in Mitchell to throw softballs.

Sen. McCain, the fact is, with your support, your country invaded and destroyed a country which had absolutely nothing to do with 911, the fact is sir, if your country did not invade Iraq, any terrorist group in that region would be a genuine global threat, not a threat to ā€œAmericaā€™s national securityā€

Why do people continue to give this repeatedly discredited war monger a platform?

I am convinced after watching McCain stumble through several interviews and get angry at anyone who opposes him that he is suffering from the condition known as ā€œChemo-Brainā€.
That and he is, after all, a publicity-whore asshole.

To hell with John McCain!!! He failed his first test when he picked Governor Word Salad as his running mate in 2008, and expects to be taken seriously!!!

Lying warmonger continues to lie. When is this decrepit asshole going to die? lie#1: we won the war in Iraq due to ā€œthe surgeā€. Lie #2: the President overrode his advisers and refused to leave a contingency of troops in Iraq. Carney and Cooper should just shout over and continually interrupt this asshole just like they do to the President on fox news. Go hang out with your buddies in ISIS McCain.

McCain, wrong as possible, and belligerently so, just as he always is. Thank the FSM this hot-headed moron was not elected POTUS. He is not, and never will be, ready for such a role. Go retire to one of your wifeā€™s multiple houses and stick to calling her a cunt.

McCain is an indicator that we have way too many tired old white men desperately grasping for relevancy.
