More From Gore … ‘McCain Not A War Hero … Didn’t Suffer In POW Camp’
Because yesterday’s ‘musings’ weren’t near enough from this mental and intellectual holier than thou giant from his Ivory Tower …
Then there is this …
Gore Vidal Loses It
Daniel Halper - Commentary Magazine
Speaking of Gore Vidal, Emanuele, he is interviewed in today’s New York Times Magazine. According to him, we are all being duped by McCain–not on policy, but on the presidential candidate’s own history:
And what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?
Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. That’s what he tells us.
Does anyone else find this completely insane? There are arguments for and against McCain’s policy platform, his Senate record, and his political vision for America. But calling his long imprisonment (which was extensively documented by both his captors and the international news media) false is absurd. Deborah Solomon, the interviewer, fawningly names Vidal “one of America’s last public intellectuals.” I guess that means he has the profound intellect necessary to figure out that McCain not only faked his captivity, but broke both his arms and his knee himself–all for some nebulous future political gain.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

June 15th, 2008 at 1:33 pmFuck you, Gore Vidal. Everyone of you douchebags will be in for a rude shock when McCain wins.
June 15th, 2008 at 1:47 pmI’m beginning to think the phrase “public intellectual” really means “leftist paranoid idiot” who should spend a decade on a gulag to refocus their attention on the concept of freedom.
June 15th, 2008 at 2:31 pmWell just shut-the-fu*k up you silly outdated anti-American lying piece of mo fo shit. How dare you say that about any American POW that has suffered like McCain did.

June 15th, 2008 at 5:10 pmWFB is my hero! Is he a cowboy? John Wayne? GWB?
Man up America. It’s not too late!
June 15th, 2008 at 6:13 pmI’m 50, although I have heard the name a few times over the years no distinction comes to mind with this guy. Why is this POS getting airtime about a US elections? go back to fantasyland.
June 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pmHe is as credible as ahmadickwad saying there was no Holocaust!
June 15th, 2008 at 9:01 pmHey; rock on. Let this idiot yammer, then add him to the list of Obama’s supporters. After a while even the most doe-eyed Barack cheerleader has to look around and start to wonder what the fuck is wrong with him.
“Change” in this case apparently is all about changing established history to fit the narrative. And Oceana has always been at war with Eastasia.
June 15th, 2008 at 9:51 pmHey, is that Scotch he’s drinking? Mmmmmm, I like Scotch. I only pay attention to the important stuff.
