They Don’t Get It, Part 592,567
Check out this exchange between Cindy McCain and reporter Ann Curry of MSNBC. Keep in mind that the McCains have one son in the military and another about to graduate from a service academy, so he will likely be active duty as well.
Ann Curry [wearing a nauseatingly condescending and pitying look]:
“You say, you want to bring them home with honor. Some people might say we just want to bring them home alive. Why is Iraq worth risking the lives of your sons, American - ”
C. McCain: “Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom from oppression. Freedom.”
Curry [puzzled] - “For…” [long pause] “…Iraqis?”
McCain: “Yes!”
Interview jumps to talking about Mrs. McCain not releasing her tax returns. (She has filed separately for their whole married life). Apparently whoever was putting together the interview segment didn’t want to pursue this “all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty…” stuff. I guess they don’t get it.
The McCains get it.
