As the media showers John McCain with praise and elaborate tributes with news of his death, it's worth taking a look back at how they attacked him as a "racist" and a "white supremacist" when it actually mattered during his presidential run in 2008.

Mike Cernovich had a great compilation:

Reminder that this is what was said of McCain when he was actually in the game. https://t.co/UhLLVR7KPN

Compare what the media is saying about McCain to what they said - in 2008 - when it actually mattered.

Today oh they love the guy, but when he was running for POTUS, they called him a Nazi, racist, white supremacist, and mentally unfit for office. pic.twitter.com/zhyuJvPJMH

Here’s how the left treats you when you’re in the game.

All these people praising McCain today were smearing him when it mattered. https://t.co/5aTtUuPwMl

John McCain’s White Supremacist Problem https://t.co/ZbfNH0eeKz

When John McCain ran for President in 2008, the media called him sick in the head, unfit for office, and a white supremacist.

Now they all pretend to care about him, it's a fake and sick game by sociopaths, they destroy a man when he opposes Democrats. Now they love him!

- "TO his critics he's an anti-abortion Creationist who surrounds himself with religious extremists. Paul Harris uncovers the dark side of John McCain"

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THE MEDIA SAID WHEN IT MATTERED.https://t.co/db8U1Nufnj
