Gloria Steinem bashes McCain's POW past...

http://www.observer.com/2008/stumping-clinton-steinem-says-mccains-p-o-w-cred-overrated

She goes on to call John McCain's experience as a Prisoner of War "overrated". I'm not the biggest McCain fan, but this type of behavior is detrimental to all our military veterans and a slap in the face to McCain personally. The man lost over 5 years of his life in a bamboo cage being tortured so she'd have the right to free speach, and look how he's thanked.

Don't worry Gloria, For those who've fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know.

Yeah, nothing towards McCain or what he went through, but Vietnam has nothing to do with our freedoms really. Maybe if it was something like WW2 then yeah, but as for Vietnam, what he went through was actually a waste of 5 years of his life for nothing, unfortunantly.

Indeed. Nam was just the meddlings of a crazy, anti-commie, cold-war America. Iraq is the same thing.

Wow, this is so infuriating that I don't even know what to say.

And btw, you wonder why Hillary Clinton is having such a hard time getting votes, it cause of ridiculous personal attacks by her supporters.

What is sad is that McCain's time as a POW is perhaps the only reason I have to support him and trust his opinion on an important matter during this election, that is torture.

However, being as he has changed his stance on many issues over the last 8 years to appeal to the extreme conservatives (i.e. Immigration reform, Fiscal responcibility) I have no reason to trust him on any other issue. As a result I see the man as a sellout.

Of course that isn't to say anyone else isn't, just to say that while years ago I may have supported him, now I see him as just another republican flunky that does what the party says. This land needs a person who is able to think outside party lines.

+1 for McCain. Keep it coming Gloria!

I'd like to see Gloria spend 5 years in a Vietnamese prison camp while being tortured.

Then I'd like to see her try to voice that same opinion.

the nuts are coming out of the woodwork.. this lady supports clinton. that crazy anti-catholic guy supports mcain.. somewhere obama is smiling...

For those people who say his POW experience has no basis on how he'd run the country, I'm inclined to think you must be smoking something. Enormous character, courage and integrity in the face of pain and torture that only a handful of US citizens will ever experience, yeah....that wouldn't give him ANY credibility.:roll:

The man had a chance to go home early and refused unless his fellow captives could go free as well. You seriously think Obama or Clinton would make that kind of personal sacrifice? Please

Let her go through what McCain had to endure, then she can talk.Cube_of_MooN

I agree,She wants to run her mouth then lock her in a bamboo cage for 5 years.

An inconsequential moron.

How do you know that they wouldn't react in an equally galant manner?

Isn't she Christian Bale's stepmother?Cerussite

That's exactly right partner, she was married to his father for 3 years until he died.

Gloria is a Pro-Hillary Clinton feminist.

She should NEVER trash McCain's POW ordeal. McCain has a long career in the U.S. Senate. Is he qualified to be president? Absolutely!

As for John Hagee's endorsement for McCain, that dang cooky Catholic bashing Christian radical. Hagee should just get his butt kicked by Chuck Norris!

You say that McCain's background as a former prisoner of war has nothing to do with him being more qualified to be president, but what says more about a man's qualifications than his character?

During Vietnam, he was imprisoned along with other U.S. soldiers. After his captors realized that his father was a high-ranking official in the U.S., they offered him the chance to be immediately released, unarmed. His response was that he would not leave without the rest of his men. Instead of being released, he was tortured as a form of punishment for ruining their attempts at using his release as propaganda.

In what way does this not make him more qualified to run a country? Aside from his experience as a POW, he has also served a long time as a U.S. Sentator. Under what grounds does she have the right (not talking legally) to bash him for his background?

That's what I asked.

That's what I asked.

Extreme feminist from the 60's. She's also bashed housewives for making themselves subservient to men. Raising children is much harder than any other profession, and mothers do not deserve to be insulted.

Mr_Manikin52

I grew up watching John Hagee cuz my parents really liked the guy, he's a real "fire and brimstone" type of preacher, guess that's why McCain wants to distance himself. You're absolutely right that McCain is qualified for prez btw.
