A Putrid Editorial From NewsMax Reveals The Darkest Side Of Modern "Conservatism"...

How's this for a headline? "John McCain: Torture Worked On Me"

A quick sample:

Sen. John McCain is leading the charge against so-called "torture" techniques allegedly used by U.S. interrogators, insisting that practices like sleep deprivation and withholding medical attention are not only brutal - they simply don't work to persuade terrorist suspects to give accurate information.

Nearly forty years ago, however - when McCain was held captive in a North Vietnamese prison camp - some of the same techniques were used on him. And - as McCain has publicly admitted at least twice - the torture worked!

Not only does the online conservative "news outlet" make the case that McCain has no right to speak out against the kind of brutal tactics that were used against him, but it also implys that the United States should not hold itself to higher standards than those employed by the Viet Cong.

This editorial proves one very large point to me: If the Republican party is, in fact, this far off the tracks, there's no way in hell that McCain will win the party's nomination in 2008.

He's just too sane for them...
