Reply #18: I've hated McCain with a passion (before DADT) and am glad he's saying things like this [View All]

It's like that bit on the Daily Show that parodied the, "It Gets Better," commercials targeted for LGBT youth, except for McCain, it was, "It Gets Worse." X number of years from now (and it will be sooner than we think), when gays are full citizens of the country and can marry, join the military, etc., and the majority of people don't bat an eye at it, documentaries on the fight for gay rights will be made, and DADT will be a big part of it. Documentaries - like most movies - need a bad guy, and while the religious right in general will be featured, McCain will be individually featured as the gay rights equivalent of Wallace standing in the doorway of schools in the 60s screaming, "Segregation Forever."

And to make him more evil, buffoonish, etc., they will dig up his past. His so called heroic military career will be cast in a negative light. The Keating Five debacle which had all but faded from public memory will be brought up again for a whole new generation. Sarah Palin, who is already extremely unpopular (the media just haven't gotten the memo), will be even more of a national joke and forever tied to McCain, and McCain's final years in the Senate will show him as a bitter, doddering fool suffering from dementia.

This is ultimately how people will remember him, and it makes me glad.
