There has been an avalanche of tweets about US Senator John McCain wishing him well in his battle against brain cancer. Conservatives and liberals alike have issued their hope that this “war hero” will fight on and overcome his ailment. He has been sent a steady stream of warm greetings and well-wishes from multitudes of politicos.
All of these statements – every single one of them – are in fact expressions of neo-Nazi imperial chauvinism.
Think about this: liberals are telling us that we need to be “civil” and “classy” by issuing gushing praise for this war criminal and war monger, responsible for bombing the people of Vietnam and the people of Yemen (through his support for Saudi actions there). He is a Russia-baiter and an Iran-baiter, and has forged ties with jihadis in Syria. What’s the message in calling this imperialist thug a “war hero” for having being detained and mistreated by the people he dropped bombs on? It’s simply this: that service to the American empire means that continuing to support more violence against Third World peoples is just fine.
The social-imperialist Bernie Sanders tweeted in support of his “friend” and “war hero”, too. This was boringly predictable. Sanders is every bit as much a part of the imperialist swamp as Trump and McCain are. Liberals, including black liberals, are tripping over each other to praise McCain, the “man of integrity” who, even though they “don’t like his politics”, want to thank him for his “service to our country”. They wish him a speedy recovery – so that he can continue de-funding health care for the poor and supplying arms to House of Saud? This disgusting charade of obligatory praise, this repugnant circle-jerk of smiling morons shilling for empire just so they can “stay classy”, shows the utterly rotten core of American society and its worship of crass stupidity, state violence and capitalist terrorism. Liberals would much sooner praise McCain for his “service to our nation” and for his “bravery at the hands of his tormentors” than to denounce him for what he was actually doing during that fascist war, or henceforth as a politician inflicting more misery on Third World peoples. To them, “staying classy” and patting him on the back for his participation in a genocidal imperialist war of aggression is more important than the actual lives of the people he helped ruin and destroy. All those dead Vietnamese, all those dead Yemenis, all those dead Syrians, all those dead Palestinians, massacred by US-supplied bombs and guns at the hands of the Saudi feudal dictators, the the Israeli settler-colonial racist terrorists, the head-chopping Syrian “rebels”, are mere details and annoyances that get in the way of the liberal’s desire to “be civil” and to engage in anti-communist nationalist masturbation. It’s a sickening sight, watching these “progressive”, “feminist”, “left-leaning” dullards literally not giving a shit about the men, women and children slaughtered by US imperialism and its vassals, but bemoaning actual progressives, feminists and leftists for not joining in the circle-jerk.
On behalf of the people of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Yemen, Iran, Syria and Palestine, I bid McCain good riddance and fuck you. My only regret is that the Vietnamese didn’t do to him what the cancer will hopefully do now. It will be worth it just to be spared from hearing him bleat about Russia and Assad. And to liberals I say: your ideology, your complacency and your utter subservience to imperialism are not only a hindrance, but a disease. You are pathetic sock-puppets, who Lenin was 100% right about: stupid philistines and mere playthings in the hands of the imperialist bourgeoisie.
Same old same old. This old circle jerking happy horseshit has been our political reality for a very very very long time – while yet becoming ever more ubiquitous and with increasing momentum with every passing year. All of these clowns, actors, vacuous nematodes deserve a daily dose of the articulated derision your excellent piece so eloquently expounds. As a matter of fact, this piece ought to be the foundational core of every civics class in every American school, and expected to be committed to memory by every student for the next fifty years.

Spot on, Norm! I was going to write something very similar, but now I will just reblog this.
I hate his two-faced murdering ass. “Hero.” Everybody is a fucking hero or “genius” in this piece of shit. I drives me insane.
McCain is nothing but an elite-swine owned and operated mass murderer of men, women and children.
And I so I echo you, Norm, Fuck You, McCain, and Good Riddance, and add, burn in hell!

John McCain has cancer of the brain: GOOD! Hallelujah!
John McCain is no hero, he is a two faced, elite-swine owned and operated mass murderer of men, women and children.
What happened to McCain in Vietnam he had coming to him. And he has what is happening to him now, coming to him!

I’ll drink a toast to him when he is six feet under where his evil
in this world will ensure his continued existence in hell and my toast to him will also be a resounding “Fuck you” and “it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person”. Let’s be honest, he’s been a cancer in this world for most of his life.

John McCain was himself a malignant cancer who should have been excised from the human gene pool a long, long, long time ago. The victims of his evil machinations cannot now speak – they’re dead, so I’ll speak for them – Die, Monster, Die.

This man should be forever grateful to the Vietnamese for showing him mercy and sparing his life, as he was in all likelihood about to napalm one of their villages without a care in the world before his plane was shot down. Now fifty years later he’s arrived in the Senate to lecture his colleagues while he votes to take away health care from the rest of us.

There. It’s been said. Not a pretty piece of journalistic endeavor, rather the stark, ugly truth right in your face. Fuck you, McCain.

I was thinking of people he killed who he will meet on the other side… those 20+ bombing missions he did. Those he killed without mercy. That will be his lesson.
