When is it okay to mock a war hero?

Of course the answer is NEVER!! Unfortunately, not everyone in the U.S. has the same manners that they should.

Our friends over at Vigilant Squirrel Brigade have some sad videos. I say sad because the liberals in NY - specifically it appears to be some Code Pink people - are mocking John McCain...a war hero.

It is appropriate to rail against someone's politics. But it should outrage people to see the man getting mocked because of his war injuries.

I'm all for 1st Amendment rights, but it is sad to see people abuse the right. You don't like McCain? Fine - but it's worse than tacky to make fun of the physical ailments he sustained defending our country...and our rights to things like free speech. Shame on you.

John McCain's story as a war hero is a story that you would think would soften the heart of nearly anyone. Stubbornness against the enemy, steadfastness in being a leader for his fellow POWs. He's no war monger, but Joe Sixpack American believes he'll stand up for what is right.

That is the kind of person that should be leading us. If you are undecided and reading this, please vote for John McCain/Sarah Palin.
