One national news outlet (MSNBC) hammers McCain’s sleazy ad
It happened twice on MSNBC, triggered by John McCain’s latest tactic: an ad suggesting that Barack Obama was dissing the troops when it is clear that John McCain is dissing the troops through his legislative actions. As the commentator from Air America makes clear, there is a big difference between supporting veterans and being a veteran. McCain is banking on the American public not understanding the difference. See the commentaries here at Huffpo.
Good for MSNBC. Now it’s time for the rest of the media to quit giving McCain a free ride.
As far as a collection of some of the many lies by John McCain, consider this fast-growing set. And don’t forget McCain’s pro-torture actions that accompany his anti-torture rhetoric.
- The Bush-McCain challenge: can you really tell them apart?
- John McCain shows the media that access comes with a price
- Obama describes a responsible foreign policy.
- Since John McCain has made this campaign about character, let’s talk about character.
- John McCain has also opted out of public financing for his campaign (but you wouldn’t know it).
McCain’s two-faced personality appears to have many dimensions. This week he attacked Obama for sending his children to private school, even though McCain did exactly the same thing with his kids.
