Obama-Backing Senator Attacks McCain's War Experience

I remember distinctly, when Mccain returned from Viet Nam. He was on the verge of a full courts marshal for treason untill his father stepped in. He colabrated (documented) with the North Vietnamese. There is documented video of him giving up government information, speaking Spanish. So, don't be an idoit and think what he's telling you is the truth. He is a lier a cheat and a traitor!

Four years ago the Democrats insisted that it was vital that the President have a record of military service. They drooled all over John "Reporting for Duty" Kerry. Now that they have two candidates with zero military service, a military record is not important and they'll bash the man who served with honor. Sickening.

The dance of listening to candidate's supporters say something, then someone else demanding a denouncement of the comments is getting tiresome. This primary has been replete with faux chivalry and indignation.

As far as attacks on McCain's service... It's rather odd to see republicans, of all people, freaking out over this considering they were the ones that reduced another war hero, John Kerry, to a lying coward in many voters eyes (all in the name of winning an election.)

McCain is a very, VERY angry man. Bitter, twisted, hateful. Did you hear what he called his wife when she teased him about his hair?

This is a typical obama ploy, get one of his surrogates to say something really negative about his rivals and then play dumb by saying his did't say it. What combat experience did Rockefellow have, obama, Kennedy, Kerry. I know all about swiftboat. These people wouldn't know a hero if they saw one. Why is it that we havn't seem the "we need more white people" on the evening news.

beb: McCain was not in a country club POW camp, and he turned down a chance for release.

There has been some truly repugnant press on John McCain this week and I appreciate that Political Punch did not repeat it - it was a story that was too crass for even the National Inquirer. And the sleazy, unbelievable attacks on McCain's patriotism when he was running against Bush were unforgivable. I think it speaks highly of McCain that he's able to move on and even say he forgives them.

But I disagree with your characterization of Rockafeller's remarks. When John McCain sang "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran," I wondered what he possibly could have been thinking. I saw body parts - children's body parts ripped apart by American bombs. I didn't think it was funny. If any other candidate had had sung that song - wouldn't the press and politicians question their judgement? This one John McCain brought on himself. I know I'm going to be accused of being a pinko pig, but I call it the way I see it. If you are a presidential candidate and you make jokes about bombing another country, as if there are no casualties and no deaths, and it's a big joke, you deserve to be called out.

And Steve M? I don't believe the Bush girls have done alot of service in Iraq. Or the Bush boys, either. Looks like the tradition died with George H.

hey obamaites,he flew A-4's ,which for the uniformed was a small single seat daytime only strike fighter.they dropped iron bombs ,usually from low to medium height against ferocious aaa and sam misseles.they had a few counter measures but nothing like today.when they went in they went on skill and guts and hoped that luck and their own skill would get them back to a small pitching deck in the middle of the ocean and hope that they could catch a wire and land.so anyone that hasnt done it or at least faced combat has no right on gods green earth to disparage someone who has.by the way GO HILLARY

Obama says he is running a different type of campaign ("wink-wink") and not going to be negative and then he turns around and says negative things or his supporters do it for him.
There is nothing differing him from any other politician except the facade which I hope will keep crumbling.

I heard that Michelle is speaking in North Carolina. I guess they figure she can't say anything to damage Obama when she is just speaking to the choir.

There are lots of things one can disagree with John McCain on but to attack his military service is terrible. That's not what I would call supporting the troops. However some of Obama supporters are not very patriotic people either. While I was against the war from the get go, I blame it on our current leadership, not our great country or its military. I do think this attack on McCain's military career may be indicative of an attitude of the Obama supporters and, perhaps, is why they don't have a problem with what Rev. Wright said or that Obama listened to him for 20 years.

PP, I have wondered where she is. I think most of us know she is radioactive and can explode at anytime.

in all seriousness, does anyone else wonder where they are keeping michelle obama?

bho's "dignified stance" is all smoke and mirrors--much like his entire campaign--his surrogates and supporters do enough damage themselves to the other candidates to make bho appear to be mr. clean.
neither of the other two campaigns are as hateful and vile as the bho supporters. in the long run, this will be bho demise.

Jay Rockerfeller"s comments regarding Senator McCains war record indicates to me that Senator Rockerfeller is nothing but a stupid, ignorant ass that shouldn't even be in the political scene. This country doesn't need politicians that thinks like that!

The only service Rockefeller ever joined was the Vista Volunteers. As far as several bloggers stating that McCain doesn't care about people, they should meet his daughter. She was a dying infant in asia when McCain and his wife brought her back to the U.S. and adopted her. They have raised her as their own. As far as Kerry, his name shouldn't even be spoken on the same day as McCain's. Kerry was a bandaid early out coward. John McCain was offered an early release from his imprisonment and torture, by the North Vietnamese. He refused to leave without his fellow prisoners. As far as Obama, he won't even respect the Pledge of Allegiance. How someone like him could be leading the race for the Democrat presidential nominee shows how many Democrats disrespect out country and our military. Obama is a fraud. He supports a minister that hates America almost as much as his wife does.

Once and for all: What lies did the Swiftboaters spread about Senator Kerry?
Senator Kerry has not provided evidence of any lies.

Presumably Sen. Rockefeller supported Bill Clinton's war over Kosovo. In that war, fought exclusively from the air, extensive use was made of laser-guided weapons (weather permitting). I guess nobody cared about the "lives of people" on that ground.

I think anyone has not ever served in the Armed Services really should just be quiet in critism of anyone who has. It makes the person look like a dweeb and a coward.

just typical obama - have surrogates swiftboat others, then pretend to take the high road.

guess getting tortured for years didn't mean anything? that wasn't thousands of feet up.

obama thinks campaigning is hard. heaven help us if he's elected - obviously doing the job would be way too hard for him. oh, i forgot, he vacationed in pakistan when he was in college, so he knows it all already.

Rockefeller actually said that? Most despicable! I would not believe anyone would be so crass and low.
Rockefeller is the heir to huge fortune earned on the backs of millions of Americans that worked, fought and died for our country while Standard oil monopolized, price fixed, gouged and unscrupulously fought competitors. John D. was the world’s richest man at one time as a result of a Supreme Court ruling that dissolved the parent company and left him with substantial stock in what amounted to every oil company in the nation. The term “Restraint of Trade” is a legacy of Standard Oil and the Rockefeller family.
Where is the humanity in that?

Mark - Once uttered Rockerfeller stories will never die as are the Ferarro hoof and mouth problem she experienced. You know that. Check Fox for yourself tonight. I'll bet right now it gets the airtime only a Hannity can give it.
