MSNBC/NC airs DFA AD about McCain's Melanoma and Drooping Eyelid!

[KoKo]

OMG...it's really a gross ad...showing "surgical site" but I read on DU this a.m. that CNN Rejected this Ad...it was really good to see MSNBC not CENSURE THAT AD!

There are many questions all over the web including "Huff Post" and "Atrios (Eschaton) about viewers saying McCain's eyelid is drooping and that he's hired a $5,000 per day, "Make Up Artist" to take care of his pale skin and drooping eyelid.

Posts on Atrios and HuffPost are questioning if he has had a Stroke, Bell's Palsey, Melanoma Surgery cut nerve to eye or that the Melanoma has spread to his BRAIN...which Josh Marshall of TPM has reported that McCain has been behaving erratically ...almost like he might even have Alzheimer's Disease.

I don't know but there's enough BLOGOSPHERE ATTENTION to McCain's EYE...there must be some FIRE THERE..behind that SMOKE!

Just saying...there's something WRONG with McCain...and his eye. He needs to answer this....

1. I don't like the ad

I think we should focus on the economy and nothing else.

3. It's not from the Obama campaign. Or from the DNC. It's an outside group.

[DaveinMD]

15. I understand that

I still think the outside groups should be laying this entire economic debacle at McCain's feet for voting for Phil Gramm's crap bill that ruined the economy.

2. I saw a video comparison on Kos, there is definitely something wrong with

one of McCain's eyes--either the left eyelid is drooping, or the right eye is bulging.

11. Here's link from "Huffington Post" about this today: "What's Wrong With McCain's Eye:"

4. It could be Horner's syndrome. Not sure what could be the cause though.

5. John McCain is KNOWN to have ptosis, as is Forest Whitaker

6. look at these photos

[TwilightGardener]

8. Yeah--it's not just his eyelid drooping, it's the left side of his face that

seems to be experiencing a nerve problem--note the lower eyebrow, note the deviation from the movement of the right eye. One side of his face looks surprised, the other calm. Bell's Palsy? TIA? Tumor on craniofacial nerves?

13. Do you notice he never wears glasses. How is that for a 72 year old? And, he had cateract surgery.

in one eye. But, is he wearing contacts that he doesn't need to wear glasses at his age to read?

What if he wears contacts or has a surgical implant in the eye he had the cataract on? What if his other eye needs surgery in the future and he's a "one eye" who can't read any reports he's given from his Cabinet Members when he becomes President? Wouldn't that be an "impairment?" Or, will Bill Gates give him a program where he can do "Voice Recognition?" :shrug:

7. i applaud this group for fighting back.

we owe them big time for 2004.

kick them harder. they're down.

[malaise]

10. Agreed

McCain must show his medical records. The fact is that he is a sick old man and voters need to know. The truth isn't always pretty.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. If DFA tied that in with McCain's non-health care plan, I think it would be effective on two levels.

[KoKo]

16. I think it's a "funding" problem. They went for his "Health" and that's Bang for Bucks?

:shrug: McCain's drooping eyelid on one eye might get more "527 or 501-C Bang for Buck...than what Obama Campaign could get away with "tastefully." DFA doesn't have much money...they went for an issue that might seem fringe...but many of us have noticed McCain doesn't look healthy and that "eye thing" needs to be addressed. I would have wished they could have done it more tastefully...but the Repugs have won for eight years on "gross/distateful attack ads."

Just saying....

12. Saw it 3-4 times in Palm Beach County. It's over the top I think...n/t

14. Is it worse than was done to Decorated War Veteran, John Kerry in '04?
