If John McCain doesn't get his meds soon, he's going to be a complete nutcase by the time Spring comes. Video speaks for itself - he draws an analogy that somehow soldiers already in the hospital without limbs are a result of DADT going forward. I think this man needs some serious help.

1. Intervention, Somebody, please help this man.

Insane ravings. This guy needs help.

[tomm2thumbs]

2. pitiful, just pitiful

Cindy must be jubilant inside, however.

[la la]

3. remember reagan ?

he made no sense at the 'end' either---too bad johnny doesn't have a 'nancy' to keep him in check....

[Quixote1818]

4. WHAT AN ASS HOLE! FUCK YOU JOHN!

He absolutely makes me want to puke! Trying to cover up his homophobic feelings by acting as though he is worried about the troops. Fuck he is pathetic!

[TatonkaJames]

5. Antiques like him need to leave

DADT is passed today and he's talking about wounded soldiers in Walter Read today ?
First, they've been there since his wars started, and second, when soldiers are in
the midst of a battle. maybe John's mind might be on whether he's going to be assaulted
but the troops there who think in the 21st century don't see race, religion or sexuality unless
they are sick, like many of our representatives who are caught in mens rooms or the like.
What an idiot.

6. DADT

And in Washington, there are senators with neither heart nor brain.

[sea_dream]

8. how true!

That should be funny, but isn't because it is true!

[Dokkie]

7. Give the man his meds

[Tx4obama]

9. And some of those marines with no limbs are also gay, so what's his point?

McCain is an asshole and should retire ASAP!

[rasputin1952]

10. He takes one man's POV and uses it to try and derail...

what 30+ generals and admirals have said will not harm our security or ability to maintain a military that is capable of completing it's missions.

MCain, stuck in the stone age and never even trying to find the entrance out of the cave. What a jerk.

[lobodons]

11. I am sure that gay mechanic caused his plane to go down.

We'd a won Nam if it weren't from those dang gay homosexuals!!

[perdita9]

12. I support the troops

Even the gay ones. Too bad we can't say the same for John McCain.

[DRex]

13. Distraction? Is he kidding me?

Does he realize how condescending that is to the men and women in uniform?

Does he realize how absurd he sounds? Rhetorical question... clearly he is lost to reality.

Is it really distracting to a professional? Do you think that if bullets are flying past your head you really give a flying fuck about the love life of the guy next to you? Are you scared he might try to kiss you in this tense moment?

Fucking ridiculous. To think that long ago I actually respected this POS makes me taste vomit.

[texshelters]

14. Every day this bigot is in the Senate is a sad day.

His votes have killed people, not being gay in the military.

Frankly, I wish NO soldier stayed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

15. WTF? Is He Nuts?

What does he think? That they'll be wearing pink uniforms and high heels?

[dbmk]

16. And..

.. just how many of those limbless soldiers can not recieve visits from their loved ones, because of this downright evil law?
(I mean, unequality is one thing - but asking you to risk your life to protect it and to keep your mouth shut about who you are..)

Sying congratulations almost seems wrong. As if it was just another gift/accomplishment and not a wrong righted.

But I sincerely rejoice at the happiness this must bring to all those who have suffered under DADT. And hope that it does not stop there.

[simon1012]

17. I am so glad that he didn't won in 2008!

[AC_Mem]

18. It might be a tense evening at the McCain household tonight

:)

[snappyturtle]

19. OMG! Time to resign. I disagree with you a little. I think McBush is

saying that gays already in the military have done damage that has resulted in soldiers losing limbs and therefore DADT is no good and will cause future loses....whatever,,he's not in this century.

[rhett o rick]

20. Send him an email. nm

[MadMaddie]

21. Some of those soldiers without limbs are gay

He is a rat bastard!

He still can't get over losing the election, that's what this is about.

[MiniMe]

22. I beliebve Dan Choi tweeted exactly that to Grampy

[slay]

23. Good I hope the rest of his days are sad

and few. What an ass.

[Enthusiast]

24. What a pathetic old man.

He is only playing to his base. A base composed primarily of right wing bigots. He must believe he is going to be around for another run at re-election, maybe even as a presidential candidate. And that is just plain pathetic. I used to respect John McCain. I was wrong.

[lobodons]

25. Sad day indeed thinking of those limbless Marines. (sad day everyday)

About those limbless Marines. Perhaps McGrumpy should redirect his disgust at W. since he is the one who got distracted of the real threat and sent thousands of soldiers on a fools errand.

[nolabear]

26. When I saw him say that this morning I thought "He couldn't. He WOULDN'T."

He could and did and he ought to be shunned by everyone with any sense of decency. This is a new low. I'm still :wow:

[earcandle]

27. that was retarded.

[Cali_Democrat]

28. WTF?

[progressoid]

29. I don't think meds are going to help at this point.

[Green_Lantern]

30. keeping openly gay people from serving isn't about practicality..

It's about morality(not in a good way). They think gay people taint the military.

This repeal is about morality, not practicality. It's immoral and ignorant to keep members of society from taking part of our society.

Gay people should be seen for who they are not what they do.
