20 hours of combat on 23 combat missions that were neither exceptional nor heroic. Is it the 5 1/2 years as a POW ? (He DID give more than name ,rank and serial number. Maybe much more)

Father and grandfather were 4 star admirals,

A hot temper that might give him credibility as a warrior in the eyes of some.

If you can tell me why he is a war hero, please do.

conspiracy theory? lol

We meet again…

Are you trying to limit speech? I am confused, I thought you were liberal. Speech should be free…even if it is incorrect….even if it is a lie…even if you do not like it.

For example, when you say that John McCain is not a war hero…..you do not have any facts to back this up, you may have links to conspiracy theories…but you do not have any facts……your statements, to me, are ignorant….but, I love that you have the right to state unproven conspiracy theories.

I can’t stand Keith Olbermann, he distorts the truth like no other on television….but he should keep his job……..Why do so many who frequent the Daily Kos, or coincidently watch Olbermann, want O’Reilly BANNED…..this is dangerous.

I have family in Cuba who is still not permitted to speak an opposing point of view, or see me, or anyone else in my family….when you limit speech you are walking down a dangerous path.

Sir, certainly you jest!

You think I am capable of inciting people to vote (for wrong person, of course!) Inciting? How does one do that? Do you think I conjure up the spirits or cast some kind of spell, perhaps? Sir, did you skip your meds, again?

If I am capable of inciting people to vote, I need to contact the Clinton campaign and offer my services right away! Do you think this will work with my banker? Wow, what’s next; inciting Bank of America to give my company more money for expansion?

BTW, it is apparent that in obsessing about the few comments that I made about Obama that you completely missed the point of the post.

The point was the Republicans will grind Obama into the ground with negative campaign ads. You might not like what I’ve said, but that doesn’t mean that I’m lying.

I urge you to read Confessions of a Political Hitman. You need to get another perspective.

Love the blog.

Obama’s campaign is all a matter of lighting. And mirrors, smoke and snake oil salesmen trying to sell up a quick cure cheap.

Keep up the excellent blogging!

You got me there! I was, indeed, being childish in suggesting that someone who is deliberately distorting the truth and inciting people to vote for the wrong person.

Unfortunately, here is no law against taking something which is saying one thing and cherry-picking certain words and pretend that those words are representative of what was said.

If you say that nothing was taken out of context, either you have not seen the Bill Moyers interview or you are irreversibly biased against Obama.

Nothing has been taken out context, nor are there any lies in the piece. Perhaps you would be kind enough to point out these lies.

That having been said, might I respectfully point out that suggesting a writer should be jailed for opinions you disagree with, is childish and un-American.

Whoever but together the piece that has been re-run ad nauseum knowingly took bits and pieces out of context, deliberately lied and should be put in jail.
