The Smear Campaign against John McCain

You Democrats might not know this, but right now you are unfairly smearing John McCain. You might think you respect him and appreciate the fact that he can at least be civil to be people in other parties and that he occasionally acknowledges certain basic rights and wrongs on which this country is purportedly based.

But you don't. And let's examine the ways that you have attacked.

From http://www.johnmccain.com:
"Today we witnessed the first of the negative TV attacks that will be waged against John McCain. The liberal group VoteVets.org has begun airing an attack ad on cable television that flat out lies about John McCain's positions. And this is only the beginning."

This vicious attack:



In summary, the ad contains a lovely, blond, female Iraq war veteran giving McCain the old "what for?" As in, "what have you done for me lately?", and "what are we in this war for?".

"National Liberal Democratic groups are rolling out their strategy for the General Election. It appears that the politics of "hope and change" are euphemisms for even more vicious attacks than we've ever seen before. All the usual liberal suspects; MoveOn.org, the Democratic National Committee, The New York Times and others are adding to the efforts under way by VoteVets and are plotting to spend over $20 million to smear John McCain. A line has been drawn in the sand."

Yes, indeed, the line in the sand is clearly that if this lovely blond were really a good soldier she would know that a soldier does not parade herself and her children around to criticize her Commander-in-Chief. Just like the Democrats should realize that when crazy Muslims all over the world are meeting together in caves and coffee shops coordinated by websites and cell phones, they should not parade themselves around to criticize their Commander-in-Chief. It's disrespectful.

Don't you understand, Democrats? People are trying to kill us!

And since only Republicans have the balls to kick some ass and take some names around this crazy world, you Democrats should really keep quiet until things settle down.

We continue from http://www.johnmccain.com:

"The smoke and mirrors of the democrats' rhetoric betray the negative campaign tactics of their confederates. Now the shadowy 527 groups allied with them are spending unchecked millions. For them, it's not about what's best, it's all about winning. It is a sad day in our county's history that it has come to this."

I know, you Democrats, that you think that this is no different than the negative campaigning we've seen so many times before. But the Republican world is appalled at this poor example of America's integrity: an Iraq war veteran demanding that her child be given preferential treatment over the security of America and the rest of the world? We stand with the world in a battle between freedom and extremism and as a country we will make sacrifices to protect what we hold dear.

Get it?

"We need your immediate help to combat this attack from the angry Liberal Left. There is nothing they will hold back, no limit to what they will spend, and we have to be ready to fight back and tell voters what we already know: that John McCain is the right person to lead our country on day one."

The angry Liberal Left consists of drug-using, corrupt sex fiends who have no moral standard and consistently elect liars, thieves and crooks, who strive for a world of dead babies, queers, and surrender.

"Please make an immediate contribution to help stop these attacks. The election is not until November, but these groups are already buying television ads to spread lies about John McCain. We have to prepare now so we have the resources to respond."

In other words, the campaign has made it this far as the scrappy, DIY candidate, but now they want some money of their own. And, they will not use it for booze, drugs, or whores, but instead on honest, straightforward Republican women who look exactly like their wives.

"Thank you for your continued support."
