Dems To ‘Jangle Keys’ At Ex-POW McCain

From the despicable Democratic Underground:

McCain has an adverse reaction to sound of jangling keys… and his temper erupts disproportionate

to the source of provocation.

There are behaviors associated with the candidate that would be consistent with a diagnosis of PTSD. Author Robert Timberg mentions McCain’s intense explosions of anger — a hallmark sign of lingering mental trauma from war — in his book “John McCain: An American Odyssey.” Timberg describes the episodes as “an eruption of temper out of all proportion to the provocation.” Timberg, who McCain has said “knows more about me than I do,” wrote that McCain’s sudden fury is a result of Vietnam coming “back to haunt him.” McCain has himself described having an adverse reaction to the sound of jangling keys, which reminds him of his Vietnam jailers. McCain also told doctors that during solitary confinement he had strayed pretty “far out” and had referred to himself as “mentally deteriorating.”

Note that this post was subsequently edited, so it was probably even worse in the original.

What can you say about miscreants like this?

    36. I love it. I have absolutely no problem with this. This is war.

    McCain’s campaign has lied, pulled dirty tricks, and done everything conceivable to steal this election and we haven’t even seen the filthy attack ads they’ll play in the final weeks of this election.

    I have no problem with Obama’s campaign using anything and everything to come a little closer to leveling the playing field. If that makes me a bad person - well, I never claimed otherwise.

    By the way, some are now suggesting that this key jangling idea is in response to John McCain’s answer about how many houses he owns.

    But note that the date of the post (actually the edit) precedes Mr. McCain’s remarks, which were made during an interview on Wednesday which was August 20th.

    I started reading through some of those comments… What the hell is wrong with those people? I mean I understand philosophical disagreements, but there is some true evil there. I am going to get lit just to forget that place.

    7. This is probably REALLY evil of me…

    but this just makes me think that it would be great if some Vietnamese speakers were to go to McCain events and stand in line to meet him, jingling keys and saying things like ‘it’s time for the one in number seven; he’s almost ready to break’ to each other (in Vietnamese, of course) in low voices as they get closer. Imagine the headlines: ‘McCain attacks Vietnamese-American supporters in fit of psychotic rage’.

    Perhaps liberalism is a mental disorder.

    Good grief.

    More deep thinking from DU:

    Democratic Underground - The link in the OP is from a DU thread dated the 19th.

    Which includes this attempt at instant revisionism:

    47. The link in the OP is from a DU thread dated the 19th.

    What has happened is that outside DU someone came up with the idea of keying McCain’s house gaffe. Presumably the guy with that idea did not know about McCain’s PTSD thing.

    However, some RIGHTISTS found the incredibly brilliant “let’s taunt the POW about his time in captivity” idea on DU that pre-dated the house gaffe and are using that as proof that some Dems were actually planning to taunt a POW over his time in captivity.

    Every time a liberal lives down to my expectation of them, they go and surprise me.
