    The idea that McCain could be successfully repackaged as a “human rights champion” is just a breathtaking triumph of revisionist hagiography. There are almost no words.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/08/27/the-human-rights-community-lost-a-champion/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.af65b894d8a5 …

        This is one of the oddest tweets ever. @JRubinBlogger hails John "Ultimate Warmonger' McCain as a Supreme Human Rights champion by choosing a picture of him sharing a stage with literal Jew-hating Ukrainian Nazi Oleh Tyahnibok. They hung out quite a bit: https://www.businessinsider.com/john-mccain-meets-oleh-tyahnybok-in-ukraine-2013-12 … https://twitter.com/JRubinBlogger/status/1034140149289037825 …

        Isn't "human rights champion" basically a euphemism for "neoconservative"?

        "Human rights" is a phrase that quickly got emptied of meaning due to the actions of monsters like McCain.

        I’m literally stunned at what I’m witnessing. It looks for all the world like a center, right collaboration to take absolute control over this country through historical revisionism, which will lay groundwork for future propaganda. Something’s happening here!

        This is what neocons like Rubin think we’re doing bombing countries and destroying anything that moves - or assisting others that are doing that.

        Ya! Mr. ISIS and Mr. "Bomb, bomb, b'bombom bomb" is champion of human rights now! Ya! Rrright! What a farce! This makes you think, how much of the official historical narratives that we take for granted and accept and repeat unquestionably is fake like this nonsense!

        Yeah ....I'm betting there are tens (hundreds?) of thousands of dead Iraqis, Syrians, Yemenis, Afghanis, etc., etc., who might disagree. Or maybe not, after all they're dead. As best I recall, St. John the humane supported most of that, and wanted even more.

        Jen Rubin who wrote the piece is the one who the WAPO own Ombudsman wanted fired http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/rubin_jennifer/ … for just being horrible at her job. Also the picture of McCain is him next to a Neo Nazi in Ukraine.
