The Right Wing Hate Against McCain

I was skimming through Townhall to see what the right wing had on its mind today, and came across this little gem from the less famous brother of Rush Limbaugh, David.

McCain, the Anti-Conservative

Most of it was the many ways the McCain is big government liberal and not a true conservtive. You see the usual complaints against tax cuts, imigration, campaign finance, and so forth. It is only when he got to the part about Iraq that he that he really got nasty if not downright moranic, when offered this gem of conservative insight.

"Whoa, you object. When it comes to the most important issue of all -- the war -- McCain is more hawkish and more conservative than anyone. But even that is not entirely true on closer inspection. He's been good mostly on Iraq -- from a conservative perspective -- but very disappointing on opposing tough, life-saving interrogation techniques, in wanting to close down Gitmo, and in favoring constitutional protections for enemy combatants. Only liberals think like that. Only liberal instincts tell us that if we are tough on them, they'll be tougher on us -- as if they need any excuse to be barbaric toward us. They just are."

Aside from the handy euphemism of saying interrogation instead of torture, to say that McCain opposes torture because he is a secret liberal is perhaps one of the most idiotic things I have read or heard in awhile. Perhaps, and I may be going on a limb here perhaps McCain opposes torture beause he was tortured you bloated right wing tool. I am not a fan of McCain for a lot of reasons, but I think he gets to have the last word on torture simply because of what he went through. You morons on the right need to stop beating off to 24 and actually listen to someone went through "enhanced interogation".
