And if The Atlantic wasn’t such a piece of shit Liberal Rag, they should fire him.
Does anybody alive still believe this pole-smoker’s claim that he is a conservative? What’s Sully done this time to get my panties all up in a wad?
The little man who likely only never joined the military because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, has the wee-balls to challenge McCain’s own account of his nearly 6 years as a POW. And the account of the men imprisoned with him.
And based on what proof does Sully challenge and diminish Sen. McCain’s time spent being tortured by the Vietnamese for nearly 6 years?
None.
Sully thinks that since Sen. McCain didn’t mention the story of a prison guard drawing a cross in the sand in his book Gulag Archipelago was published in 1973, then obviously it never happened.
Because, you know, Sen. McCain had to have included every single event that happened to him over the course of 6 years in the first book he wrote upon his release.
But hey, if Sully and the rest of Barry Oh’s shills really want to focus attention on Sen. McCain’s war record, then by all means…go ahead.

MORE:
What is quite well known beyond ANY shadow of a doubt is that Senator John McCain spent five years in captivity for serving his country during which time he was brutalized to such a severe extent that he still carries the scars and handicap from that captivity.

And if the Atlantic wants to preserve anything like a reputation, it might do well to consider giving Andrew Sullivan a break. Whatever bend he has gone around does not appear to be the kind from which one very easily makes it back.





The Gulag Archipelago is a book by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn based on the Soviet forced labor and concentration camp system. The three-volume book is a massive narrative relying on eyewitness testimony and primary research material, as well as the author’s own experiences as a prisoner in a Gulag labor camp. Written between 1958 and 1968 it was published in the West in 1973, thereafter circulating in samizdat form in the Soviet Union until its official publication in 1989.
JOHN McCain did not write this book. Clowns.
[Editor --- Yeah, I screwed that one up. Thanks for the catch.]
