Executive summary: Former POW Military service: USMC; USAF Former cellmate John McCain on Bud Day: "He's one of those people for whom everything is black or white. It's wonderful to go through life like that. I wish I could."
Day on McCain, in 1999: "He would be the very best President... It's got a lot to do with the war. John went into a POW camp a young man and came out of there basically a seasoned cold man who learned an awful lot about how brutal life can be and how wonderful men can be and how wonderful this country is."
Declared to the Sioux City Journal in October 2004 that then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry "will go down in history sometime as the Benedict Arnold of 1971." Day made this odious comparison repeatedly, despite Arnold having taken up arms and actively waged war against his homeland.
"You know, we just got through [electing] a politician who can run his mouth at Mach 1, a black one, and now we have a Hispanic who can run his mouth at Mach 1," Day said. [...] Day confirmed he was speaking of Obama and [US Senate candidate Marco] Rubio.
"You've got the black one with the reading thing [Teleprompter]. He can go as fast as the speed of light and has no idea what he's saying," Day said. "I put Rubio in that same category, except I don’t know if he’s using one of those readers."
