- buckpower, on 09/05/2008, -1/+135Wow. On top of a boring speech, he got punk'd at his own party by a Veteran of the war in Iraq.
- thisniss, on 09/05/2008, -1/+127Definitely the highlight of the speech. Now THAT is heroism, my friends.
- misreal, on 09/05/2008, -0/+75that was awesome. and actually pretty classy protesting.
- Phillycook2, on 09/05/2008, -0/+75"Crash" McCain - worst pilot in the history of naval aviation - and 5th from the bottom of his graduating class at Annapolis. Maybe he wanted to get shot down. An epic fail for McCain. Pwnd by vets!
- Marky11, on 09/05/2008, -0/+61Balls. This kid's got 'em.
- buckpower, on 09/05/2008, -0/+54Video of the protester:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGscsnUSBYQ&e - Oztog, on 09/05/2008, -0/+49McCain votes against vets
- friscos, on 09/05/2008, -0/+48Bravo to one very brave kid. Speaking truth to power: McCain says he supports the troops but he has voted AGAINST veterans' and the troops' interests FAR MORE than he has voted with them. Good on ya for telling it like it is sir, and thank you for your service to the country (in Iraq and in that hall in St. Paul tonight)!
- buckpower, on 09/05/2008, -0/+47Shout this ***** to your friends... everyone needs to see this.
- CWalter, on 09/05/2008, -1/+46not only that, how many servicemen lost their lives retreiving his crashed gov't equipment and wasted time repairing his broken planes when there was more important work to do? What an arrogant ass.
- blujackit, on 09/05/2008, -0/+43why comment, the picture says it all
- swrostmore, on 09/05/2008, -0/+39Iraq Veterans Against The War
http://www.ivaw.org - BabushkaBlue, on 09/05/2008, -0/+38If McCain loves America so much, why does he have such an abysmal voting record when it comes to supporting veterans? I don't get it.
- Callik, on 09/05/2008, -0/+38I like how their solution is to chant "U.S.A" at him.
As if he didn't know the name of the country he fought and served for ¬.¬ - mille716, on 09/05/2008, -5/+42I was so pleased when I saw this man on TV but incredibly annoyed by the Code Pink protesters.
- kingofinternet, on 09/05/2008, -0/+34the one sane man in the room.
- muckemuck, on 09/05/2008, -0/+33good shot of his T-shirt here..

and an interview here..
http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/INTERVIEW_WITH_M ... - svsbg, on 09/05/2008, -0/+31The second picture really cuts thru the "Lying Right's (L.R.)" Orwellian double speak.
L.R. says we are winning the Iraq War -
reality says You can't win an Occupation
(but you can try to stay for 100 years if you can keep fooling your countrymen long enough)
L.R. says "Support the Troops" -
Reallity says use them for photo ops
and turn a blind eye when they are damaged and might need some of the money that is flowing to the top 1%
L.R. says "Drill Baby Drill" and that will knock down the price of Gas -
Reality says 5-7 years before the first drop reaches your gas tank,
20 years for full effect and totally saving which finally accrue 3 to 4 cents per gallon.
L.R. says must change Washington DC -
Reality says - Until last year they held all the cards, White House, House and Senate, apparently Americans are supposed to be so stupid that they can't remember that.
L.R. says when they block a bill in the Senate it did not get enough votes,
Reality says - Its called a 'Filibuster' and whenever Democrats exercised it they were exorcised for it.
L.R. says it's a "Do Nothing Senate"
Reality says - See item above and know it was the "Publicans' have been Filibustering everything in sight.
L.R says 'I hate war'
Reality says - While we claim hate war but we love how war distrancts people, and gives us the chance to funnel Billions of dollars to our Corporate Buddies.
L.R. says "We are the fiscally responsible party"
Reality says - let the kids and grand kids figure out how to pay for the WARS, It is God's will that tax cuts for the wealthiest are more important the sticking the next generations with the bill.
Reality continued - All those pallets containing Billions of dollars of freshly printed bill we sent to IRAQ, they could not be bothered to even get a reciept for it. Makes you wonder who got to skim off all of the cream on that doesn't it?
L.R says "Its a LIBERAL MEDIA"
Reality says GE (NBC & MSNBC), DISNEY(ABC), Rupert Murdoch (FOX and how many papers - Yep they are Liberal Icons, you betcha.
L.R. says "Too Much Regulation is the problem"
Reality says the eviseration of Regulation is exactly what has brought us the Credit Crunch, the Bank Crisises etc
L.R. says hey look over there -
Reality says - Check your financial future, they just figured out how to screw you again.
- Yosef52, on 09/05/2008, -0/+30Have you seen this email about McCain's record with veterans? It's pretty devastating:
http://jamillerrampant.blogspot.com/2008/09/anti-m ... - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+29That was the only bit of truth to come out of the Republican convention.
- sheasie, on 09/05/2008, -2/+30++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are The Boss... which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an ***unusually critical*** election year.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
Now, which team are you going to "hire" ?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(This is an unusually critical election year. Act responsibly. Please forward.) - svsbg, on 09/05/2008, -0/+27One picture exposes the "Lying Right" and their standard bearer !
- darkciti2, on 09/05/2008, -0/+23He destroyed five Navy Aircraft during his career. He was appointed by his father a Sr. Navy Admiral.
He became a POW because his 5th plane was shot down.
Does anyone else think he shouldn't have been given 5 chances to fly a taxpayer funded military aircraft [particularly when he graduated at the bottom of his class and shouldn't have earned his wings at all]?
Much like Bush, McCain's daddy hooked him up with a sweet job, and we the taxpayers are paying for it.
NO MORE.
Fire the republicans in November. - animelion, on 09/05/2008, -0/+22IRAQ VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR: http://www.IVAW.org
Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) is open to anybody who has served in the military (Active Duty, National Guard, and Reservists) since September 11th, 2001. Military members who are currently serving can be guaranteed confidentiality.
http://ivaw.org/membership - phuzzy3d, on 09/05/2008, -0/+21Dude has balls to go into the belly of the beast.
I guarantee he was shaken down and arrested for being a terrorist. - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+19McCain's pre-speech To-Do List
-Learn to tie them pesky shoelaces
-Remember how to prenounce Sarah's last name
-Forget finding Osama, talk about tiger cage
-More prank phone calls to Obama
-Send big check to Ohio registrar
-Take another peek at Sarah's ass when Cindys not looking
-Try to distance self from religious wackos, after their job is done - jamesalfaro, on 09/05/2008, -0/+19The CNN caption at the bottom was just perfect timing!
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/4086/cnnvetsro4 ... - muckemuck, on 09/05/2008, -0/+18Oh.. the irony of them shouting "USA, USA, USA"..
- badbilly, on 09/05/2008, -1/+19No "hero" brags about being a hero for ***** 30 years.
False hero = false intentions
BAD for my country. - keepinReal, on 09/05/2008, -0/+18What was up with the building on the screen in back of McCain just before the dude held the sign up? First thing that came to mind was...ahh, there's one of his houses!
- muckemuck, on 09/05/2008, -0/+15.. when he votes.. look at how many times he missed votes over the last 3-4 years. He had a job to do and didn't do it... .and yet we're supposed to vote him into a higher office? pshaw.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -2/+17"USA! USA! USA! USA! We completely ruined USA! USA! USA! We're against everything USA! is about! USA! USA! USA! We have no respect for anything! USA! USA! USA! Is hated by the entire planet because of the actions of republicans! USA! USA! USA!'s dollar lost 40% of its value! USA! USA! USA! is losing even to the Chinese! USA! USA! USA! Is ***** up beyond recognition! USA! USA!"
- Homerr, on 09/05/2008, -0/+15You can't win an occupation.
- JKap, on 09/05/2008, -0/+15Adam Kokesh = Revolutionary Patriot
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty! - darkciti2, on 09/05/2008, -0/+14His father was an Admiral and enabled him to crash 5 (yes five) naval aircraft that cost the taxpayers millions of dollars. Nepotism and Cronyism have no place in Washington or our Military.
If the shareholders of Corporations don't allow it, We The People certainly shouldn't allow it in our government. - DeskFlyer, on 09/05/2008, -1/+14I find it rather amusing how McCain has adopted Obama's message of change when he has mirrored the vote of Bush nearly 100% of the time this year.

How the ***** is that an indication you will change anything that Bush has done to single-handed destroy this country and continue to do so? Will a McCain supporter please stop in this nested comment and provide some sort of coherent explanation for this paradox without going off on some sort of rant about how Obama is some sort of Islamic Nazi. Thanks. - trying2think, on 09/05/2008, -0/+11And his speech in front of a green screen? Cue chroma key!
- macaca, on 09/05/2008, -0/+11I don't know why are you dug down. Thanks for sharing and if you are one of the VETS, sir I appreciate your service and you have all the rights to say what you want.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -2/+13Did anyone notice McCain's arms are shorter than they should be? WTF is up with that?
Those damn pesky shoelaces! - inactive, on 09/05/2008, -1/+11Geez, McCain, ever hear of Colgate whitening strips, damn. I thought there was a yield up ahead, that's how yellow you're teeth are. Nasty-ass Crayola burnt-umber teef. People be speeding up when the see you trying to beat the light.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -2/+12You're dumping on her son for serving the country and saying support the vets in the same post?
- kidathinnes, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10That my friends, is a true patriot.
- charliebucketts, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10IVAW is planning a lot of actions. Find your local chapter, we can use your help. To be an ally you don't have to be a Veteran. Our strategy is non-violent and we accept support from a wide variety of people and groups.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10I'm surprised he was not water boarded.
- inactive, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10Nice.
- thepoliticalcat, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10Actually he broke both shoulders when his plane crashed. He's been collecting 100 per cent disability since the 70s. Lots of vets who aren't getting any disability and can't afford $500 shoes, either.
- buckpower, on 09/05/2008, -2/+11Agreed.
- scareyShadow, on 09/05/2008, -1/+9What you say may offend me to the very core of my being, BUT, I will fight till my last breath to defend your right to say it. That is what free speech means and that is why we CHOOSE to serve our country.
- TheAmazingBob, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7Much more of "An American Hero" than John McCain.
- goshdang, on 09/05/2008, -0/+7quite eloquent indeed
