Two familiar faces will soon be dogging Senator John McCain on the campaign trail, as activist Vietnam Veterans Jerry Kiley and Ted Sampley resume a campaign they have conducted for years against the Arizona Republican and former prisoner of war.

Jerry Kiley filed papers last week to establish the nonpartisan group Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain. "When people truly get to know him, there's no possibility they'll consider him for president of the United States," says Kiley, who served in the Army and completed the Internal Revenue Service paperwork to establish the "527" group.

RAW STORY spoke last week with Kiley, as well as Ted Sampley, a North Carolina-based publisher who has been harshly criticizing McCain for more than 10 years. Sampley teamed up with Kiley in 2004 to found a similar group that targeted Senator John Kerry as he ran for president. They see McCain as an apologist for Vietnam's Communist government who sold out fellow POWs and servicemen missing in action from America's lengthy war in Southeast Asia.

"We know him best because we've dealt with him over the years, and we know how he's acted," Kiley said. "We're taking no salaries, we do this voluntarily, and every penny will go into defeating him."

I think these morans are the very definition of what people mean when they say someone needs to get a life.

Ted Sampley is nothing but an obsessed piece of shit.

But, hey, if they manage to drag McCain under the surface, won't really matter to me. ;)

1. God help me. I'll be with McCain on this one

I'm so fucking sick of these assholes assaulting people who have served their country honorably. I hated it when they did it to Cleland and to Kerry and I won't stay silent if they try to do it to McCain either.

If they want to disagree with McCain's policies--if they want to argue that he is "soft" on the Vietnamese--that is one thing even though they will be wrong. But the moment they start to attack his record (and they will), I'll be as vocal as I was in August and September 04.

2. Let's see now, just where was McCain when this was going on?

3. GOPers who defended the Swiftliars will condemn these guys.

I have ESP, y'know...
