Gore Vidal Repudiates McCain's Vietnam Heroism

Posted by Dave Blount at June 15, 2008 10:43 AM

Despite some of the infuriating political stances John McCain has taken, no one can fail to respect what he went through in Vietnam, where he effectively volunteered for years of torture rather than accept release prior to other GIs who had been in captivity longer.

Well, almost no one. Gore Vidal of the elite moonbat intelligentsia flings his appalling opinions at the subject in an interview with NY Times Magazine's Deborah Solomon:

Asked what he thinks of McCain, Vidal calls him a "disaster," then tells Deborah Solomon, "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?"

Solomon replies: "Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam." To which Vidal responds: "That's what he tells us."

Sure, he broke his own teeth off at the gumline and then made out like the sweet and innocent communists did it.

No amount of reaching across the aisle with moonbatty policies on border defense, First Amendment rights, the global warming hoax, et cetera is going to spare McCain from the wrath of the liberal establishment. They'll never forgive him for not being one of them — i.e., a crawling obscenity.

On a tip from mega.
