MCCAIN IS A DAMN DISGRACE TO VETERANS! He Lied Right to a Fellow Vet's FACE!
Edited on Wed Jul-09-08 07:49 PM by berni_mccoy
During a town hall meeting, McCain had the nerve to lie right to a Vietnam Vet's FACE!!! This is simply outrageous.

When asked by the Vet why McCain didn't support the latest bill sponsored by the VFW, McCain touted a "PERFECT" record and endorsements by Disabled Veterans of American (DAV), the VFW and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

The Fact Is: DAV gave McCain a 20% rating on his voting record (Obama got an 80%)
The Fact Is: VFW has noted that McCain has voted against them more than 75% of the time, while Obama has voted for them about 75%
The Fact Is: IAVA gives McCain a D rating while they give Obama a B+ rating.

McCain stood there, IN DISGRACE, and LIED TO THAT VET'S FACE.

McCain, you are a disgrace to ALL VETS and Military Personal.

And McCain, America knows that you are not just a flip-flopper, you are a BALD FACE LIAR!

Here is video of McCain's Disgrace:

25. “I’ll be happy to examine what your version of my record is.”
He's going to use smart-ass answers like this one when he debates Obama. I don't think he can score many points on his own, without resorting to abusive and manipulative verbal tricks.

There is little cohesive substance to McCain. When he can't answer a question he uses snide remarks, or insulting barbs. His political career has been based upon him being a war hero, using it to his advantage, yet to anyone who may challenge the McCain myth he does an about-face, and proclaims issues sensitive and untouchable. I've noticed that this is where he, or his handlers cry foul, and whine how anyone could have the nerve to question him - the war hero.

The smiling, seemingly cordial McCain then throws out one of many manipulative insults or snide remarks to deflect the need to answer a question honestly.

Actually he reminds me of a verbal abuser, and I wouldn't want to be alone with him when angry. Seriously.

We have got to stop fabled people living charmed lives out of government. Our world shouldn't be their oyster.

2. I saw that video yesterday. He can lie whenever he wants and the media won't call him on it 95% of
the time. Pretty good odds. He can roll the dice and say things that are demonstrably not true (like about HIS OWN VOTING RECORD!!!!!) and feel confident that there won't be any national consequences.

3. Obama is going to kick his ass in the debates.
McCain can't even remember what he voted on. He doesn't show up for important votes and then takes credit for them. And he lies about his veteran support.

McCain sure gets testy when someone challenges his "support" for the veterans. Keep poking him.

6. This should be a campaign ad for Obama. The facts vs. McCain's LIES.
Disgusting that a veteran LIKE HIM doesn't support his brothers in arms. I mean, I could understand it if he was a chickenhawk, but he wore the damn uniform! That makes him worse, in my book, than the chickenhawks.

17. Is anyone good with Windows Movie Maker?? Seems like a pretty easy Youtube
thing too. Not too much editing skills required, just the clip, ominous music, voice over, and text. I don't have all the tools required.

24. But he STILL got snarkey
He did react negatively. He did make snide comments. He still got pissed.

Just another example of the one basic truth: McCain can not take being contradicted. He has no tact once it happens. He goes straight to the red zone. Keep It Up!

That hair trigger is gonna give us a real good Bill O'Loofa-style meltdown one day.

10. I agree
McBush is as wishy-washy as they come. When it comes to voting, McBush is a joke on veteran issues. I think that he talks a big game but his votes don't back it up.

13. He has NO problem lying to anyone's face. How many times did he lie about saying he never said he
didn't know much about the economy (something like that)?

16. And watch how most of the media completely ignores this
along with all his flip-flops, lobbist scandals, etc. while flogging the latest crazy Preacher who happens to come withing 1000 yards of Obama.

18. He's a sham
He's a media-hyped myth

He's a small man with no scruples.

He's desperately ambitious

27. Why do they like that creep?
I haven't met him, but I've heard from those in attendance that he smells of stale urine and that his breath is putrid.

The press however, they love his rashy little ass.

22. I posted this piece of video
here a day or so ago
but it didn't generate
interest.

It wasn't about FISA;
maybe that's why.

28. Berni, can you give me a link to the VFW Fact
The repukes have wiggle room with DAV, but I am trying to put an email together slamming them on McCain's statement. A VFW link would be great.

29. We will see more of McCain's service over the next few weeks,
all he has is being a Navy pilot and a POW.

For someone like this jerk to denounce a vet, to boldly lie and then not even realize he was the beneficiary of the same privileges he is trying to deny others is shameless.

If he didn't have two Admirals in his family, he'd have been lucky to have worked off a garbage scow.
