John McCain, 1973: 'A Lot of My Captors Were Homosexuals'

This is a big heads up to everyone who suspected this but wasn't sure-- It's true: McCain is a homophobic bigot.


snip:


Back in 1973, when young John McCain had just been released from his five hellish years of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese, he became a media sensation back home. His tale of heroism inspired the nation, and his refusal to back down and give in to his captors demands was thrilling stuff. Queerty tracked down what may be McCain's first personal account of his captivity and torture, for US News & World Report in May of 1973. They posted it online in January, but maybe it's because we're all so familiar with his tale at this point that no one noticed, until now, the bit where he says all his captors were homosexuals who got off on whipping him. No, that is not made up.

than his "cross story"

and a sign of his character

"A lot of them were homosexual, although never toward us."

If they weren't homosexual 'toward him' or other POWs, how exactly did he come to know it at all?

- as

Based on whatever kinky stuff he's into. Which is his own business, as long as he does it in the privacy of his own closet.

but they respected his undeniable heterosexuality... or some such bullshit.

...if he never saw any signs of this?

IMO, this was said because he thought it made them look worse...and that tells all of us what a homophobe this asshole really is.

:puke:

It can get lonely in prison

Why does he get a pass on this crap?

So now he knows by looking at people what their sexual orientation is? He calls people "gooks", is racist beyond belief (I just heard Star Jones wrote a nasty letter to him re his bigotry -- trying to find it) and he still gets a pass?

He associates his prison guards with a certain sexual orientation? Gee, that's not inflammatory, is it? And so immature. He sounds like my nephew when he was ...oh, 7? when the kids speak just to get a rise out of the adults? That's what McCone sounds like to me.

I just can't believe this stuff is in print -- so he does not respect all of these segments of our population, of our citizens! and he still feels entitled to run us all?

Wow. talk about arrogant. He's so friggin above us all, so white patriarchal rich untoucable mofia BS that he can look down his nose comfortably at the rest of America.

McScorn.
