EVERYONE MUST GET THIS VIDEO OUT THERE TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!

Dr. Phillip Butler.

He’s 70, was a POW, knew McCain from the Naval Academy and Vietnam, quotes data that says POW’s die younger than average citizens, and thinks McCain and the media are making him out to be something that he’s not. Needless to say, he doesn’t think McCain is cut out to be President.

Watch - and forward.

AND THIS VERY INFORMATIVE COMMENT:
Dr. Butler,
I can positively confirm your observation and comments on John McCain.
A few years back I flew with a former POW (also a naval aviator) who had been hired at the old Eastern Airlines as a pilot. Sadly after Eastern was destroyed in the hands of Frank Lorenzo (and with lots of help and encouragement from daddy Bush and his administration) our friend lost his job and was later hired at United Airlines where I had the pleasure of meeting his acquaintance and sharing my 767 cockpit with.
Once I explained my role in helping the striking EAL pilots and the stories I had experienced as a union leader with the Airline Pilots Association in our fight against the atrocities perpetrated on EAL workers by the Sr. Bush administration and his union busting tactics he opened up to me.
My fellow pilot the former POW had been in the same squadron as John McCain’s and ironically had lost his A-4 “Skyraider” over Hanoi a couple of months after the capture of his former wing man John McCain!
He basically mirrored every thing you so courageously explained in your video. He also told me about the final unauthorized low pass after the bombing run by the Admiral’s cocky son which resulted in his shut down!
I command you for your courage, honesty and TRUE service to our country. You are the real hero history books whisper about and for whom the bells are told. John McCain lost that privilege after he exchanged his uniform with that of a Robber Baron and became a panderer!

My hat is off to you Sir.

1. DFA - Democracy For America is on this case and is looking for input
on whether or not to make this national on TV.

(snip)
Dr. Phillip Butler is a veteran and a former prisoner of war at the “Hanoi Hilton” with Sen. McCain. He knows the real McCain. Now he has shot a 30 second ad with our friends at Brave New Films to make sure Americans hear the truth.

Click on the ad to see it for yourself

This is your decision. We think this is a voice that needs to be heard and a discussion of John McCain’s temperament and judgment that America needs. But before we commit to action we need to hear from you.


Should Democracy for America commit to making sure this ad runs on national television?
Yes
No

2. NOT NEW. Have seen these before.
Butler's comments are good but have been distributed in the blogosphere. Not earth shattering news.
