McCain Deserved Torture as 'Penance' for War Crimes, Spews Mike Malloy
Yet another example of why I've long referred to Mike Malloy as the Voice of the Guard in the Gulag.
Bad enough that this most creepy and vampiric of men can barely let consecutive sentences pass without reference to carnage and bloodshed. On his radio show Tuesday, Malloy slandered Sen. John McCain as a war criminal who murdered civilians during the Vietnam War and was justifiably tortured…

After all, the Washington Post staff writer published a laughable 36-paragraph profile of Sen.
