He’s calling you stupid. You aren’t mature enough to get his “edgy satire”.

It was an attempt at satirical humor.

A sense of humor is the ability to experience humor, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, and context. For example, young children may possibly favor slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons (e.g. Tom and Jerry). Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humor, and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences.

Thanks for the intense research and copy/paste.
Your attempt at satirical humor failed.

Actually the Gang of 14 got Judges Confirmed, that were getting filibustered.

Chakra Hammer on March 25, 2008 at 11:42 PM

There are quite a few conservatives that would tell you if McCain didn’t broker the Gang of 14 the R’s would have exercised the Constitutional/Nuclear Option and done away with the Senate rule allowing filibusters of judicial confirmations completely, allowing all of Bush’s nominations to be confirmed. I’m not really hung up on this issue with him, but it is one item in the laundry list of grievances that conservatives have with McCain, whether you think it should be a legitimate grievance or not.

Gang of 14, etc, it is this life story that will win him this election.

To his credit, McCain himself doesn’t get much into the details of his personal story in Vietnam. And yet, if the RNC has any talented filmmakers whatsoever, they will be able to make McCain’s pre-speech film one that has everyone in the audience in tears and ready to run through a brick wall for the guy by the time he walks out on the stage. With a life story like his, it won’t even be hard. Forget what you think of his positions on immigration or the Gang of 14, etc, it is this life story that will win him this election.

He served in the military, and he supports the military still, so they hate his freakin’ guts. Period. End of story.

yep

I just donated $100 to McCain to commemorate these assclowns.

McCain Returns to Vietnam for a Tour, Including Stop at Former Prison

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, April 24,

2000Shortly after his arrival, McCain attended a solemn airport ceremony in which six sets of remains, believed to be from U.S. servicemen, were placed in silver metal containers, the size and shape of coffins, and put aboard a C-17 cargo plane heading to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii for forensic analysis.

About 50 U.S. civilians and military personnel were present for the service, held in silence except for a few clipped military commands. The servicemen saluted, while McCain and the other civilians placed their hands over their hearts as the remains, draped with American flags, were carried into the jaws of the cargo plane.

The remains were recovered this year as part of the ongoing American effort to account for the more than 2,000 servicemen still missing in Indochina, including 1,500 in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese have praised McCain for his role in helping restore diplomatic relations with Washington in 1995, and the senator will meet several of the country’s communist leaders. However, his five-day visit has the potential for awkward moments.

During his unsuccessful presidential bid earlier this year, McCain spoke of being tortured by his Vietnamese guards, adding that he and his fellow prisoners referred to their captors with the derogatory term “gooks.”

Vietnam denied that the American prisoners were tortured. Some Asian-American groups chastised McCain for his language and urged him to apologize, but he declined.

“John McCain’s words and statements, which lack goodwill, have hurt the Vietnamese and Asian peoples,” Vietnam Foreign Ministry spokesman Phan Thuy Thanh said in February at the height of the controversy.

North Vietnam tortured Americans horribly, now that we’ve made nice with a communist Vietnam, you’d think an apology would be forthcoming for some of the worst torture in history.
After all America is supposed to commit an act of contrition and repentance for each and every typo.
I don’t suggest you hold your breath, this from a regime for which the term waterboarding means nothing simulated.

So McCain’s brain is in Iraq,
his heart is in Mexico
and his teeth are in Vietnam.

and will burn themselves to a crisp – well deserving a horrible end.

everlasting agony in the fires of hell are far to easy for you.

Colonel_prop on March 25, 2008 at 10:05 PM

You have an unhealthy fixation with burning people.

How will you celebrate the inauguration? Perhaps a pinatta stuffed with z visas?

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 25, 2008 at 9:57 PM

Sounds about right.

As I have grown older I realize that animals do not think and the manner in which you treat an animal shows the merit of a man. People on the other hand get the level of pain they deserve – the liberal mindset is the worst depravity invented by man to cover moral lapses. Just wait patiently – the left is imploding and will burn themselves to a crisp – well deserving a horrible end.

For those who joke about the crippling of John McCain – everlasting agony in the fires of hell are far to easy for you. The man gave almost the last full measure to protect our freedoms – and gets derision from fools in return.

I look forward to a great 8 years of President John McCain.

How will you celebrate the inauguration? Perhaps a pinatta stuffed with z visas?

I am no McCain fan but you have crossed the line and should be fired.

This sorta’ reminds me of that scene in True Grit where Bruce Dern’s character shouted “I call that bull talk for a one-eyed fat man!” at Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) — right before Rooster put the horses reins in his mouth and proceeded to shoot the stuffins’ outta’ the whole lot of ‘em.

My collie says:

**Sigh** I really miss “the Duke.”

Hopefully, you’ll get to witness an encore performance of that scene in November ‘08.

CyberCipher on March 25, 2008 at 7:10 PM

And let’s not forget the Duke’s immortal response to that Dern putdown, which we can only hope McCain will roar at whichever of their two joke candidates the Democrats put up in November:

Fill your hand, you son of a b***h!

… well, maybe McCain will be roaring it figuratively. I plan to scream it at the top of my lungs as I dive into the voting booth.

Then I say McCain is in good shape. And yes, those people are scum eating parasites.

Please let’s just lay low on this stuff for a while.

Let’s just hammer Hillary and Barack X for a few more months.

faraway on March 25, 2008 at 7:16 PM

Absolutly. Keep Operation Khaos going until the DNC convention. We’ll have plenty of time for slinging their mud back at them when they are done flinging it at themselves!

Exactly.
