FYI: Dolores Alfond
McCain’s detractors say it’s absolutely fair to raise questions about McCain’s explosiveness while he’s running for the presidency.
“I wouldn’t think that he should be president. He’s very hot tempered,” said Dolores Alfond, chairperson for the National Alliance of Families for the Return of America’s Missing Servicemen and Women.
Alfond, the sister of an Air Force Academy graduate missing in Vietnam since 1967, recalls the rough treatment she received from McCain in 1992 during her appearance at a hearing of the Senate Select Committee on POW-MIA Affairs.
She eventually was driven to tears by McCain during the hearing, which can be seen on YouTube.
McCain repeatedly interrupts her during her testimony, berates her and then suddenly storms out of the proceedings.
“He just didn’t want to listen. He continued to ask me questions, but he wouldn’t listen to my answers,” said Alfond in a telephone interview from her home in Seattle. “And he kept slamming things around. He brought me to tears because he wouldn’t listen.”
To this day, Alfond said she doesn’t understand why McCain’s anger seemed so personal toward her.
I was looking forward to voting for that crazy old bastard in 2000, no way I’d ever vote for now. I guess Rove did me a favor with his dirty campaign in SC.
Plenty of them will though (just saw the first bumper sticker yesterday–bleech)
Yes, by all means: Let’s compare what the candidates were doing 16 years ago.
Except, Farris: Obama stopped doing drugs. McCain hasn’t really stopped having angry outbursts.
Where do you get that “16 years ago” stuff, Farris? MSU?
SaveFarris said: “Yes, by all means: Let’s compare what the candidates were doing 16 years ago.”
Let’s see. That would be 1992. So you’re talking about when Obama was a recent graduate from Harvard law, had just finished being the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review and was starting his career as a civil rights lawyer and teacher of constitutional law.
Yeah, 16 years ago was a time when Obama was doing really bad things.
Good lordy Farris, I would think you would have better material than that…
George Bush was inhaling… through the nose… and in large quantities about 16 years ago.
Did you vote for Bush? If so, then shut the f*** up about Obama’s drug use in high school.
I’ve been hearing that drug thing from people who voted for the drunken coke head twice. I just tell them to shut the fuck up. They didn’t care when chickengeorge bush did them.
