"Nobody knows war like my family." WTF? blink.gif
GCurry
Twit.

My mother was a lieutenant in the French Army WW2, watched the Nazis march down the Champs Elysees. My father US Army engineer, supporting Normandy invasion. But even though we were "poor military" unlike Meg who was "silver spoon military", we know military also. My dad was a Republican, but he didn't fight for this Republican Party. And my mother, well, I'm just glad she died in 2002, so she didn't have to see what's become of the country she naturalized to.

First: What is it with Republicans and these ditzy Barbie types?

Nevermind. Brainless and plastic. Answered my own question.

But I agree, wtf.gif

That's an insult to every military family out there suffering RIGHT NOW.

She's 23. She wasn't even ALIVE to see her father go off to war. She needs to JAM IT.

"no one knows what war is like other than my family, period"


believe it or not, that is what she said...

ARROGANT SELF-ABSORBED BITCH.

As if "war" was all anyone needed to "get" .... what he doesn't "get" is the fucking truth, that's what he doesn't "get".

The only thing positive I can say is that of all the things McCain doesn't "get", war is what he's best at "not getting".

And that apple didn't fall far from the tree, either.

Yup! Time to sport the camo, Arizona Barbie!

And in her reference to Track Palin's (not sure wtf she was even saying) "redeployment," is she even using the word correctly? Isn't he being "DEPLOYED" for the first time?

So, at this point boys and girls, I will assume based on the empirical evidence that Repiglithugs can only tolerate one phenotype of woman - the shallow, brainless, plastic bimbo model with long legs, perfect teeth, tits, ass and the ability to lie from fib to whopper in 2.3 seconds.

Accessorizing abilities can be had for a few $$ bucks, with proper pharmaceutical adjustments.

Ick...

A dimwitted ELITIST BITCH with a terra-ist neck scarf, to boot...





Hey Meghan: How many of these coffins do you recognize? Guess what? They have family too.

leftysergeant
Seeing what a bimbo his daughter is, I can see why Grampa picked a bubblehead like Caribou Barbie. I would like to suggest that the l;ittle war slut join the military, but i wonder whether i would really want to endanger the life of more inteligent people in her unit by handing her live ammo.

Being an asshole must be hereditary.
DonShafer
Awwww, they have their names on their pillows. Isn't that cute?

I think she misspoke. I think what she meant is "Nobody understands (the sacrifice) war like someone who actually has a family member in it."
TapDuncan
I think she made it clear, after all, she said period, end of discussion. So why try to look into the further meaning of what she said. That's like looking into a vacuum and asking if it sucks! It's a vacuum, it's supposed to suck, idiot. It's nice to know that the Mcrazy family has fought all of our battles single familyied for lo these 200+ years. What a debt we owe them. I also agree, go sign up you know nothing little snot, so you can learn more about war.
DonShafer
Maybe she should tell that to Cindy Sheehan or Mary Tillman. Or any of the other mothers that have lost sons and daughters in a illegal war. Or any of the disabled veterans that we are providing substandard healthcare to.
rrrocksmahsocks
I really don't care what the kids of the candidates have to say.

She does remind me of Jenna Bush though.

Wait...maybe they're the same person.

Cindy is a clone of Lala
McCain is Bush but older

hmm

No, she was referring to HER brother redeploying, not to Track Palin. Both of the McCain boys are in the military.

The words she's using incorrectly are in, "no one knows what war is like other than my family, period"

I suspect she is TRYING to say, "No one knows about the impacts of war better than my family," which at least allows other families to know as well. But she's an inarticulate twit.

But worse than all that, the point of the discussion was Obama's statement that McCain "doesn't get it." It was not a reference to what McCain knows or doesn't know - and he's applied the "doesn't get it" to McCain with regard to the economy, jobs and so mych more.

Of COURSE McCain knows - or at least has been told at some point or another - about soldiers coming home and finding not only hellish services, but efforts by the military to reduce what little is available by gaming the rules. He knows or has been told the unemployment rate. He knows or has at some point been told about rising prices and reduced incomes.

What he "doesn't get" is how those impact average families. He certainly has no direct experience - or does anyone imagine a son of McCain's has a lot of trouble getting health care from the VA? He "doesn't get" how people have to change their lives and their plans premised on the price of a gallon of gas. McCain doesn't get anything that's important to most voters.

I guess the dumb bimbo doesn't realize that not every military family has had thiongs handed to them without having earned them. Guess she doesn't realize that her daddy took up a seat at the academy that might have been given to someone who really deserved it if her grandfather hadn't been an admiral willing to use his pull to get his dumb kid into college.

I guess it didn't occur to her that not every disabled vet can throw away his first wife and go marry a rich bimbo and live as a kept man.
bhusar
I would love for her to say that to my father, or to the millions of Millitary familes out there that are coping with this every day. No famly understands war better than her period????? WAKE UP PEOPLE...WAKE UP MEDIA. IF MICHALLE OBAMA SAID THAT THEIR WOULD BE BREAKING NEWS.
leftysergeant
So we would not only be getting four more years of brain-dead ecconomic policies, we would get four more years of idiot kids in the first family. An airhead daughter who thinks she's special and a son who runs banks into the ditch.

Oh I dare her to say that to Mary Tillman.....

I watched Mrs. Tillman's testimony on Capital Hill - she's a REAL woman of strength. Mary would throttle that pampered little wench into next week.

Not to mention that if McCain hadn't gotten a choice carrier pilot position, we might have gotten a quality pilot who would have saved lives of the grunts on the ground, rather than crashing his plane 5 times, and getting 134 fellow sailors and marines killed and 161 wounded on the U.S.S. Forrestal.

Some sergeant who served in Vietnam called in to one of the looney shows on rightwing radio here in L.A. and about tore the host's head off talking about that incident, so I went and looked it up. Holy fuck, McCain was an absolute walking disaster!

McCain, being a cocky bastard who thought it'd be fun to fuck around and play games with millions of dollars or taxpayers money and a buttload of deadly weaponry -- wet started his engine (which sends a burst of flames shooting out the back of the jet) and startling the pilot in line behind him who, when he flinched involuntarily, released one of his missiles on accident, and then McCain like a dumbass compounded the fuck-up by dropping two bombs of his own, and getting even more people killed on the deck.

They had to hustle "hero boy" off the ship and onto medical transport pronto, not because he was injured, but for his own protection from the other men onboard who likely would have beat the shit out of him in his bunk that night.

...

I saw a McCain biography, where a (either McCain or) McCain's spokesman said he was too busy reading Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire to study the aircraft manuals which said where the eject lever was. Ha ha.

It must have been the cliff's notes or something, since he's pretty much on the way.

See, after two generations passes through, people don't know what war is anymore. It looks purdy. It ain't.

Oh, a GREAT point - wish I'd thought of it. I promise, if I had a national television or radio show, I'd be rushing to get Mary Tillman to comment of the little dear's remark.

OK, well the quote I cited was there, too, so to hell with you, ya damned ferret!

(That is a ferret, right? Wouldn't want to get a weasel all pissed off - I know it's sort of the way Kiwis hate to be mistaken for Aussies, and vice-versa.)
