This is swiftboating. A fellow POW says McCain's not fit to be president.

So, Livewire, if you’re firmly behind the Swiftboat Vets for “Truth,” are you behind Jerome Corsi? Now, if you’re nodding your head up and down…be careful. Because once you go down that road, you have to start answering for all the dumb crap that flows from a guy like Corsi. And you don’t get to just pick and choose what you like from what you don’t. Because if he’s only telling the truth about Kerry and Obama, is he just telling ridiculous lies about McCain (like mob ties and al-Qaeda campaign support)? And if that’s true, isn’t a great truthteller like Corsi just hurting his own cause by looking like little more than a shameless hack?

The Gulag Archipalago was published in 1973. John McCain was released March 4, 1973.

With the emotion which John McCain told the story, my gut feeling is that both stories are true.

lgm obviously suffers from “delusions of relevancy”

Go away.

Jeez! These guys are stuck on stupid! It’s apparent that they never watched “Get Smart”. Everybody knows the “Cone Of Silence” never, ever, worked, but just gave everybody a headache. Probably spent all their free time getting high and not watching quality TV during their formative years.

vickisoup said (#33):

Plus, (tired insult omitted), McCain came out in strong opposition against the Swift Boat Vets.

He did a lot of things like that — opposed torture, supported campaign finance limits, supported “shamnesty” — but that was before he started running for President. Now he’s been reborn as a down the line sleazebag wingnut. He called Dobson an “agent of intolerance”, not he’s proud to accept his endorsement.

I thought Swiftboating = telling the truth about someone’s war record?

Please, all you McCain people are not just evil, but wrong.

I mean everybody knows that in addition to steel not melting, that THERE IS NO SAND IN ASIA!

Man, what’s next from you people, are you going to try and say that we actually went to the moon or that FDR didn’t personally hold a large arrow pointing towards Pearl Harbor?

Speaking of Hillary, she’s been awfully quiet lately, hasn’t she?

Cross in the Dirt vs. “Agents of Intolerance”

Anything to ignore defeat. We are still hearing how Bush stole the election. It is obvious that if they dont win the other side cheated.

The Bible says that the cross is an offense to “those that lost!”
