1. Not aware of any
You don't have to smear him, anyway. Just repeat his own words.

2. There's the Swift Boat McCain one...if you dare go there...
Basically accuses him of being the Prison Stoolie in Hanoi, receiving preferential treatment and that his injuries were a result of his plane crash, not torture.

11. Definitely enough slur material to start a few good Emails rumors
but are they going to run any radio or TV commercials?

13. Don't waste your time wondering about what others are doing.
Just smash McCain's campaign any way you see fit.

After McCain voted FOUR TIMES to deny us aid in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina, it is no-holds-barred, muthafucka!!! :mad:



DESTROY MCCAIN'S CAMPAIGN!!!!

7. Here's the link, although I am against SwiftBoating anyone
http://www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/cin_mysticalmccain.htm

Not all of the accusations can really be verified, just like the Swift Boat ones...

3. I hope not. Smears leave dirt on your hands...
...and I don't want an Obama administration tarnished by accusations of dirty electoral dealings. There are times when it's appropriate to fight fire with fire, but most of the time water does the job better. Obama is doing a pretty good job so far by taking the high road.

I'm cool with 527s criticizing McCain, but not with 'smearing' him, if that means exaggerating or misrepresenting the facts.

4. There's "Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain". . . HOWEVER,
tread VERY VERY CAREFULLY with these people. The founder, Ted Sampley, used to have a site called
Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry back in 2004. He'd just as soon shit on Democrats as well as Republikkkans.

As for finding the site, just google it. If you want to send money, I suggest you use a money order and use a fake name and fake address - something that cannot be traced back to you.

:evilfrown:

9. your stuff is awesome, and exactly the sort of thing that needs to get out there
people need to stay FAR AWAY from the Sampleys and others who put unverifiable crap out there, even if it has the ring of truth. it will only HELP McBush, because the media will pile up on the accuser, if giving him any air time at all, as opposed to what they did to Gore and Kerry

that's the simple truth, and the way the game is played

those simps on Hardball just laffed and laffed, agreeing that if we were hit by terrorists again, that EVERYBODY thinks that it would help McCain

EVERYBODY!!!! Ohhhhhh?

I don't think EVERYBODY thinks that, but you help make it the narrative, don't you?

10. one other thing...that "smearing" word is not appropriate, because it implies
telling lies

you can't smear somebody with the truth, and that's all it takes with this guy. all one needs to do is keep linking him to Bush via his voting record, his reversal of stances, and his own words, the most damning of which (except the C word) are mostly on video

it should be easy for a campaign staff that has any common sense at all

they COULD have done it to Bush in 2000, but they were too chicken/unimaginative


he could have been shown to be the emtpy headed all hat no cattle buffoon that he is, but they were afraid to take that step
