Shrub...McCain a traitor...?

[imax2268]

Does anyone recall a comment that shrub made about McCain a few years ago during the campaign before shrub Hijacked the oval office...?

I seem to remember something of that nature...but I'm not quite sure...?

Anyone...?

[shooga]

1. was this b4 or after he:

schmeared McCain's wife about drug abuse and some kind of cruel attacks about (outside the marriage??) children???

Rove destruction machine knows no boundaries.

[glarius]

4. That's why it's so disgusting that McCain could still praise Bush

which he does...like a good little Republican.

[DealsGapRider]

6. That never came up during the campaign.

The drug abuse thing was from one of McCain's previous campaigns.

2. I remember it happening

But not the details.

I also remember it pissing me off to no end.

7. Found it...!!!

<snip>

When the film ended Bush resumed his place at the podium. He stated that he was ashamed to show something "so repugnant to the human race" and that this clearly showed John McCain was not who he claimed to be and a traitor to the America he claimed to love. "How many American boys lost their lives because of the positions he revealed to the Vietnamese?" asked Bush angrily. "All this time the American voter has felt sympathy for him because we all thought he lived in a bamboo cage and was fearful that his captors would place a midget Vietcong in his rice bowl to cap him one day. No wonder he turned down early release! If I had possessed this evidence before the Old Hampshire election, I would be ahead!"

8. That druggie has no shame

He is an evil asshole, an alcoholic, a drunk driver, a desserter, a cocaine user, and a failure.

9. What the hell is this?

"How many American boys lost their lives because of the positions he revealed to the Vietnamese?" asked Bush angrily. "All this time the American voter has felt sympathy for him because we all thought he lived in a bamboo cage and was fearful that his captors would place a midget Vietcong in his rice bowl to cap him one day. No wonder he turned down early release! If I had possessed this evidence before the Old Hampshire election, I would be ahead!"

Are you suggesting that Bush actually said this? I have never heard anything like this. Pure bullshit.

10. WOW!

That shows not only how below the belt he is willing to hit, but also how just plain STUPID he is!!! I doubt McCain knew anything that would have gotten anyone killed based on anything he knew. We really should use that in '04 though. Show people how utterly RUTHLESS AND EVIL he is.

[Bossy Monkey]

11. I think it might be one of those joke things (n/t)

[Changenow]

12. McCain is the adopted father of a child of color.

I’m not sure of her nationality. During the primary campaign I remember that there was push polling asking people if they knew McCain was the father of a black child.

[snippy]

13. That was in South Carolina and they did not say "black child."

They said "nigger" daughter.

[DealsGapRider]

14. Link? Evidence?

Why can't we limit our criticism of Bush to what is REAL and not the product of someone's fruitful imagination?

[snippy]

15. Most articles use a euphemism in quotes.

Like this:

In its effort to portray Mr. Lott as a one-of-a-kind bad apple, The Wall Street Journal's editorial page said on Thursday: "Republicans may once have used race to polarize the electorate, especially in the South. But that strategy long ago stopped being useful." Tell that to George W. Bush, who beat John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary after what Newsweek called "a smear campaign" of leaflets, e-mails and telephone calls calling attention to the McCains' "black child" (an adopted daughter from Bangladesh).

But it is common knowledge among journalists.

McCain: Bush Pulled a 'Lott' in South Carolina Primary

Arizona Sen. John McCain praised President Bush on Monday for denouncing former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's racially offensive comments last month, but said he regretted not challenging the president over racist tactics allegedly employed by Bush supporters during their showdown in the 2000 South Carolina primary.

McCain sounded uncomfortable while discussing the episode, which reportedly included attacks on his adopted Asian daughter using the "N" word. But the Arizona Republican made clear that he considered Bush responsible during the following exchange with radio talk show host Don Imus.
