Daily Kos Mocks McCain's Teeth

Thu, Jun 5, 2008 at 12:47:58 pm PDT

Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas makes fun of John McCain’s teeth: Daily Kos: McCain’s teeth.

Of course, the reason why John McCain’s teeth look discolored is because they were knocked out during torture by his North Vietnamese captors.

In 1968 he was offered early release, and when he refused, because others had been there longer, his captors went at him again; he suffered cracked ribs, teeth broken off at the gum line, and torture with ropes that lashed his arms behind his back and that were progressively tightened all through the night.” Source Vanity Fair, February 2007

“He spent two years in solitary confinement, suffered from dysentery and even tried to commit suicide by hanging himself with his own shirt.

In 1968, the Vietnamese broke off many of his teeth at the gum and tortured him for hours on end. They offered him early release, knowing his value as an admirals son, but he refused, saying others had been held captive longer.” Source Daily Mail, February 1, 2008

Markos Moulitsas. The epitome of progressive class.

The little LLL Obama twits at my office are next door sneering at how *old* he is, and he's had all that *cancer.* And otherwise indicating that old people are feeble, questionable, and kinda gross. Nice. You'd think since they are always quoting how Native Americans respected the earth, they'd remember that the Indians respected age, too.

And the lone young conservative said, "Yep, and he's still kicking. Shows you how strong."

34 Occasional Reader  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 12:56:26pm
Of course, the reason why John McCain’s teeth look discolored is because they were knocked out during torture by the Viet Cong.

I gotta say, that doesn't really make sense to me. If his teeth were knocked out (and, presumably, replaced), how does that explain their current discoloration?

(BTW I agree that the Kos is raising a stupid point... I just don't follow the explanation here.)

35 EC Marm  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 12:56:35pm

I've assumed he's wearing dentures because of his speech habits. I really don't think they fit that well and it slows down the speed at which he speaks.
But he's still a war hero and Kos has no class.

42 Ma Sands  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 12:57:16pm

When that new-fangled machine was building new teeth to glue into my mouth last summer, the young dentist took out his chart to find a matching color for them, to go with the rest of my teeth......I made it easy for him, and he was grateful I didn't feel bad about it --I just told him, "Make sure they're coffee-colored." --'course, you wouldn't know what that signified unless you loved drinking coffee as much as I do..... :)

Well, what'd you expect from the Vietnamese nationalized health care program for POWs in the 1960s? We're still fixing that mess today.

Let's just say that McCain isn't as self absorbed in his appearance as Obama - no need to bask in the warm glow of kleig lights or worry about his teeth. Besides, his wife doesn't seem to mind.

At least one Kossack gets it. From Kos's comments section:

The only impact his teeth will serve is to remind people of his years of torture in vietnam.

How could Markos be so cataclysmically stupid as to walk face first into this blunder again? We've already been down the McCain yellow-teeth road.

If I were McCain, I would wear my '70s-era yellow crowns as a badge of honor.

I will never forgive Al Gore for being smarmy/pretentious towards Admiral Stockdale during those VEEP debates.

Never never never.

Stockdale rests in Peace, faithful good servant. He really laid down his life for his country, and smashed his own face before letting the VietCong use his face for propaganda when Jane Fonda came to "visit" her fellow Americans & insult them.

Their refusal to meet Fonda caused the POWs to get more torture.

What you see are not his teeth but caps or crowns.

He had them put in after he was released in the '70s, and apparently hasn't had them replaced since then.

'70s dental technology was a bit primitive.

He could get them all updated with new crowns, but that would seem narcissistic.

I say McCain should keep his current dental work and bring it up during debates as often as possible.

I'm sure John McCain's ordeal in a North Vietnamese prison was nothing compared to the mental anguish that Michelle Obama endured as a black undergrad at Princeton. A life "on the periphery" at an Ivy League university is no life at all.

I read McCain's account many years ago. It's one of those things where you read the page and then stare into space, just trying to imagine. I made my sons read it, too.

I wonder how that idiot Moulitsas feels after a couple of posters pointed out how McCain's teeth were knocked out as part of the gruesome torture he indured? Since he has no conscience, he's probably pissed at them for pointing it out and making him look like the lowlife he is in his little cesspool.

It's simply amazing to me that people are so completely entranced by Obama that this scenario could seem plausible to them. By any historical yardstick (somewhat crappy economy/ unpopular war), any Democrat should be holding a huge lead in the polls. Due to Obama's far left ideology, that isn't the case. McCain will crushed Obama in the general election. For those that have been guzzling the Obama Kool-Aid, it's not gonna be pretty.

having said that, republicans need to stop focusing so much on with whom obama surrounds himself. mccain WILL NOT WIN if he doesn't start focusing on obama's RECORD AS A SENATOR (including legislation that lets aborted babies DIE FROM NEGLECT if they happen to be born alive) and obama's SOCIALIST tendencies.

even though "birds of a feather flock together" mccain needs to go after what obama's track record. it speaks for itself.

PIMF "WHAT"

203 justadot  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 2:07:40pm

excerpted from [Link: www.news.com.au...]

On July 4, my father had become Commander in Chief, Pacific. The Vietnamese intended to hail his arrival with a propaganda spectacle, releasing his son as a gesture of "goodwill".

For almost two months, nothing happened. Then the punishment sessions began. I was hauled into an empty room and kept there for four days. At intervals, the guards returned to administer beatings.

One guard held me while the others pounded away.

They cracked several of my ribs and broke a couple of teeth. Weakened by beatings and dysentery, with my right leg again almost useless, I found it impossible to stand.

On the third night I lay in my blood and waste, so tired and hurt that I could not move. Three guards lifted me to my feet and gave me the worst beating yet. They left me lying on the floor moaning from the stabbing pain in my re-fractured arm.

Despairing of any relief from pain and further torture, I tried to take my life. After several unsuccessful attempts, I managed to stand. Up-ending the waste bucket, I stepped on it, bracing myself against the wall with my good arm.

I looped my shirt through the shutters. As I looped it around my neck, a guard saw the shirt through the window, pulled me off the bucket and beat me.

Later, I made a second, feebler attempt at suicide. On the fourth day, I gave up. I signed a confession that "I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pilot".

The guards ordered me to record my confession on tape. I refused, and was beaten until I consented.

Those were the worst two weeks of my life. I shook, as if my disgrace was a fever and no one would ever look on me again except in pity or contempt.

Forty years later and the commies are still trying to beat him down.

I would say that I think that Kos looks like Gilbert Gottfried but I like Gottfried and wouldn't want to hurt his feelings. Instead of naming his crap website Daily KOS it should be Daily POS (piece of s--t). That would more truly reflect he and his posters. I would love to be a fly on the wall whenever he dies and goes before his maker. Now that's going to be an interesting conversation and and elevator straight down I'm thinking.

I think the left keeps confusing presidential elections with some kind of "reality" game show like American Idol or Celebrity Chef. They keep picking their candidates based on their image, age, or their hair.

re: #214 song_and_dance_man

Funny thing is, some still want to "understand" why "they" hate us and want to fly planes into buildings and blow up pizza places. But, we still need 50% plus one (or, more imp[orstantly, 219 electoral votes). Is my math correct?

218 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 2:45:26pm

It's not just the Kos Kids. At DU they were scolding McCain for not releasing his medical records. A person's medical records are confidential and nobody has the right to know them, by law. It's like pressuring someone to tell who they voted for.

219 Independent Voter123  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 2:46:26pm

218?

220 bitsy  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 2:49:20pm

re: #207 song_and_dance_man

I've been saying the same. But it's not that popular here.

I would be okay with a McCain/Lieberman ticket. I don't like their affection for big government, but that's nothing compared to what Barrack 'I can move the ocean with bureaucracy' Obama would do to us. Most importantly, I know they wouldn't sell out our country to the Jihadists. I am afraid that Obama is actively working to undermine the security and prosperity of this country. If putting Liebs on the ticket scoops the 49% of the democratic party that was voting for Hilary and renders the hyper-left irrelevant -- then do it. I would like to see the majority of this country united in the cause of standing up to Islamism.

435 divided by two (plus one) = 217.5 (218.5 which would be 218). Right?

Of course, these are the same Koz Kidz that'll bring up the fact that Murtha is a "war hero" if you try to disagree with any of his views. You remember Murtha - he's the traitorous moron who happily points the finger of our proud soldiers, then runs away scared when confronted with contradictory facts.

Hey Koz (and I know you're reading through these comments looking for something...anything to use in their war against America): why don't you grow up, move out of your parent's houses, and get jobs or join the service. I know - you desperately want to rebel against anything. You crave attention. Your parents ignore you. Well, it's time for you to do something with your life. And a year or two in the service would do you a world of good.

The two "married" ladies down the street here in Southern Ohio just took their Hillary signs down and put in McCain '08 signs in their yard - haven't seen if their Kia Spectra has the Hillary bumper stickers removed, if i was a betting man (and I am) that too will be changed out to McCain -

227 jukin3  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 3:11:25pm

A friend of mine who is in her 60's had all of her teeth capped in porcelain years ago. They cannot be whitened like normal teeth. They would all have to be replaced. It would be an arduous process for her. Can't imagine what it would be like for McCain in his '70's.

And who cares anyway?

This may very well be the most viscious, hateful and truly disgusting political "promotions" that Markos "Screw Them" Zuniga Kos has ever been engaged in.
And it also SHOULD (but of course it won't) be roundly and harshly criticized by the blogsphere and by the MSM.

At least one Kossack gets it. From Kos's comments section:


How could Markos be so cataclysmically stupid as to walk face first into this blunder again? We've already been down the McCain yellow-teeth road.

If I were McCain, I would wear my '70s-era yellow crowns as a badge of honor.

Reminds me of the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indy is fighting on the ground with one of the bad guys--and up from behind him...comes a plane with the propellers going...

I am really tired of shallow people thinking that one's appearance has any relationship to the ability to be the Chief Executive of the USA and the Commander in Chief of the military. For the information of the ignorant children who think this way about the fake looking unnatural super-white teeth that are so fashionable today, (yes, this hits a nerve with me!), some of us literally cannot undergo the whitening process due to wearing braces back in the previous century and developing gum recession. The whitening process can set up a pain reaction in the tooth that may never go away. It is simply not worth the vanity factor.

253 Joan  Thu, Jun 5, 2008 7:57:21pm

All of a sudden View Comments at Kos "McCain's Teeth" diary is inoperative. Soon, the diary itself will be flushed down the Orwellian memory hole. That was one of the pissant comments I read. Two or three comments, however, were very indignant one even said Kos should apologize. Ah, Hope, that Thing with Feathers. I want to believe that there is still common ground between Americans, even when we strongly disagree.

This is only natural for far left. These guys have completely distorted priorities.

Same here, McCain's got yellow teeth... how gross. Why? They don't know, don't care and even if they knew, they'd pretend ignorance and still say same thing.

I think the story, here, is that the Daily KOS nation is pressing against this post as being "4th graderish", "childish", and "not worthy".

Aside from just being plain stupid considering McCain's heroics as a POW (not that Markos understood the connection, but if you don't engage in childish and fallacious arguments you'll tend not to get trapped when one of them turns out to this distasteful).

But all sides have engaged in this behavior -- let's remember that James Stockdale was ridiculed endlessly for having to turn his hearing aid up during a debate -- a hearing aid he needed because, as Dennis Miller puts it (well):

The reason he had to turn his hearing aid on at that debate is because those fucking animals knocked his eardrums out when he wouldn't spill his guts. He teaches philosophy at Stanford University, he's a brilliant, sensitive, courageous man. And yet he committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television. Somewhere out there Paddy Chayefsky must be laughing his ass off.

I recall more than just Saturday Night Live making fun of Stockdale after the debate.

258 keithgabryelski  Fri, Jun 6, 2008 9:15:42am

re: #257 keithgabryelski

My point about the treatment of Stockdale was to establish a need for honest arguments on all sides.
