John McCain Said He Didn’t Love His Country June 30, 2008
Posted by Conrad Hubbard in : The Chip , trackbackSince February, some Republicans have been hammering Michelle Obama for the wording of her comment about being really proud of her country. They have intentionally twisted those words around to mean something entirely different and clearly unintended. This is ridiculous, of course, but if we are playing that game:
John McCain said he didn’t love his country.
In an interview on March 13, 2008, John McCain said, “I didn’t really love America until I was deprived of her company.” In his case, he has even repeated these words, or variations of them, on other occasions.
Obviously it is absurd to say that either of these people doesn’t love America. Both have sacrificed time, energy and some degree of family life in the name of public service. Their words are clearly being twisted for cheap political gain. Perhaps if we judge them both fairly, then this particular partisan stupidity can finally be laid to rest?
