I have lost all respect for McCain. He is as corrupt as Obama. IQ is right. Most of them are corrupt. The Republican/democrat thing is horse manure What are they All Hiding? U.S. Senator John McCain called for the invasion of Hong Kong today in response to recent leaks about secret surveillance programs. In an interview with BBC World News, the hawkish Republican said that by hosting the leaker, Edward Snowden, Hong Kong has proven itself to be an enemy of the United States. "Either you're with us or you're against us," McCain explained to anchor Freddie Lyon, "and clearly the nation of Hong Kong is against us. By harboring this known cybercriminal they pose a clear and present danger to the American people. "I don't want to hear about extradition or rendition or any of that nonsense. This man is a traitor and if we don't get him within 24 hours I say we need to start bombing the hell out of Hong Kong. "Luckily this is a tiny country with no real military to speak of. I don't expect any resistance. We could probably destroy their infrastructure and occupy the entire country by the end of the week." ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire.

Mockingbird, roflmao. quote: After we take Hong Kong and capture Snowden, we need to seriously think about annexing the territory,' he continued, "they have a world class port, a great stockmarket, and the best dim sum in the world. I don't know why China should have all of that and not us. "If we had a military base in Hong Kong we could keep a close eye on what the Chinese are up to. We could station missiles that would be only minutes away from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin - all the major cities. And finally we'd have a place where we could move the Guantanamo inmates.

I had had nothing of it until you posted it, for the most part because I don't frequent nut-job sites.I decided to do a search, though, because (while the wording used sounds nothing like McCain) there remained the possibility that senile dementia had finally settled in. It took two (2) minutes on Google to find that the story ORIGINATED AS SATIRE. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device.

On a side note, why is it conservatives tend to fall for satire (and also e-mail chain letters) so easily? Offhand the ones to reprint or spread it as real news have all been conservative, including FOX (fooled by Onion at least once, and I think twice), National Review (an e-mail chain that even basic fact checking or asking someone who read Harry Potter would've quickly revealed to be false), and also the Iranian media. I know of another online conservative that's always posting things similar to Ami as well. I don't get it because I know liberals and the like can be shown to be gullible at times as well (not counting climate change because too many valid sources back it so that I wouldn't blame the casual reader for falling for the parts that may not be true), but I can't think of one that keeps sharing chain e-mails and satire as real news. (There IS one guy with strong Leftist leanings, but he's technically a teen anarchist, 17 IIRC, who admits to smoking a lot of pot, so I don't count him...). All in all my observation is that liberals display the same errors in critical thinking as conservatives, so why is it almost exclusively conservatives (including conservative media that should reasonably be expected to employ fact checkers and aren't in a race to "be the first" to report it) that keep doing this? I don't get it. IP: Logged |
