At least he is not a hypocrite. All this drivel about what a great man he was. But during the 2008 campaign, he was a liar, racist, war monger and misogynist.
So says the liberal bible........
New York Times Salutes the Late John McCain, But 2008 Campaign Coverage Was Totally Classless
Look back to the 2008 campaign. McCain, seen as a moderate “maverick” by the Times and other outlets, was the paper’s clear personal favorite during the Republican primaries. But after he became the only person standing between a history-making Democratic president (either the first black president, Barack Obama, or the first female president, Hillary Clinton), the Times' treatment of McCain turned hostile, with reporters in turn suggesting McCain was too old or even constitutionally ineligible for office, a “warmonger” with “hints of racism,” who may have had an affair with a lobbyist and who spread vicious anti-Obama falsehoods on the campaign trail.
