CNN

Wow- Obama is going to get hurt with this. Regardledd of his connection- or lack thereof-the undecideds will not respond well to an attack on McCain's service time.

Bad, bad move.

Campaigns are tough, right Johnny Boy? That which you sow. So shall you reap.

Many of McCain's colleagues, including in his party, have said how hotheaded and explosive he is. This is nothing new and no secret. Its more than a little scary.

Amazing.. The pot calling the kettle black.. I mean, are the Republicans so desperate that they are now saying "Hey, we unfairly attacked the DEMs in 2000 and especially 2004, so you can't do this to us – it's just not fair."

Get over it. The GOP will lie, and cheat to win – at all costs. The problem is, they have a lot of rich people standing behind them to do it.. Money talks, or in this case, lies...

Obama had nothing to do with this. It is simply a statement of fact. Everyone knows that McCain is a volatile person – regardless of the ad. So why is it unfair or untrue?

How does it feel....Republican hypocrites...Sarah Palin will be president one year into Mccans term...Is this really what you haters want...Fear and smear...fear and Hate,Thats all you have....

McSame and Pal-in lies have done the exact same. Shut up!

Im an Obama supporter but I think that is over the line.

There is sooooo many more ways to attack McCain, attacking his time he spent as a POW is not one of them.

The whole problem with 527's, the dems have been the target of these attacks for way too long, they do not need to go that low.

PLEASE PUT THIS IN CNN!!!!

The story is all over Progressive Talk Radio today about the MCain campaign sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that have donated to Obama's camapign. These ballots are dilberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town. What this will end up doing is either having your vote not counted, or if you return one of these, they will cite you for election fraud, saying that you already voted absentee.These ballots are only being sent out in "purple states" and this is a big deal.. This is called voter caging, and is a huge problem.

The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this information out to as many people as you can ,and tell anyone you know who has received one of these ballots that they need to contact their city election clerk or the supoervisor of elections immediately. Also call the local media and let them know what is going on.

The main stream media is never going to cover this so we have to depend on our ground campaign to get the word out to our voters.

did anyone read the article? Some other organization released that ad. And that organization isn't allowed to communicate with the campaign of the candidate's. This outside organization wants the truth to be known. McCain and Palin want to cut funding for vets. What would have happened to John McCain if he didn't divorce his wife for a rich Cindy? He would have had to depend on that GI bill.

I just got here, has Biden put his foot in his mouth yet today?

Maybe there is some justice in the world. Poetic justice, at least. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

Obama/Biden 08

Why would a fellow POW say that if it wasn't true? I've heard other ones say the same thing. He couldn"t' hide his temper on the View!

McSame Camp policy: Do unto me as you'd like me do unto you, but I do unto you as I please.

This ad is despicable. It makes me outrageous. Nobody's going to buy it.

Go McCain/Palin!

Preying on the DUMMIES of the world....And obviously there are a TON of them.
The Replubs are RELENTLESS but

IT'S>>>>NOT>>>>GOING>>>>TO>>>>WORK

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barack The Vote!!!

Yeh...
Obama under pressure resort to all dirt throwing tactics.
Obama once thought he wants to join the US forces, then he thought he wanted to be an Illinois senator, but realizes he
can vote "present" unfit to decide...
Then he thought he wanted to be a US senator just to think it's below him to work on anything in the Senate so he is running for president.

Any useful experience...? There is not even anything to swift-boat! Just zero-nothing O!

Chicago style politics. Obama is just another politician, and not a very qualified one at that. It's disgraceful that Obama says in his stump speech that he honors McCain's service, then turns around and attackes it.

McCain / Palin = A ticket without Honor !

Wake Up America before we are all standing in soup lines as our Kids are drafted off to WW111.

Hit them hard Obama. Hit GOP what they deserve for trashing economy, for making america a garage sale and honestly who wants a hot headed guy in charge of NUKES?

Everytime Obama sings, an angel gets its wings...

...and McCain gets another donation from me.

lmao! mccain's a victim now?? awwww poor repub party. are you gonna cry?

Attacking McCain in this matter is not very smart, especially in favor of someone who couldn’t be bothered to serve. I have been a lifelong Democrat and no fan of McCain, but I won’t support Obama either. Our choices are dismal. The outcome of this election will be disastrous, whoever wins.

Funny how McCain and his VP can lie over and over but CNN posts a ticker on another RUMOR that can not be substantiated on Obama. I thought this was liberal media coverage not conservative. McCain has the media in his back pocket he can attack, smear, mock and swiftboat all he wants. And if questioned the media prints this BS. Conservatives can you please provide a candidate that isn't so WIMPY! We have real complex and tough issues to deal with. Give me the candidate who stands up and actually deals with them. Not one who is smoke and mirrors and whines about anything negative. I mean really who would have thought I would be saying this about John McCain.

HaHaHa. McSame doesn't like the taste of tough Chicago politics. These guys are not letting the liars get away with the 2004 playbook.

I guess the democrats are starting to move some pieces. It's a chess game, and this time the democrats have the smarter player.

Awww, poor Republicans – out of touch, out of answers, and running out of time. Don't ya just hate it when somebody steps forward with their opinion? Being a POW and a war hero does not make you fit to be Leader in Chief. We need someone with vision and wisdom. Have you Republicans forgot that McCain ran in 2000 and 2004? Where was his change message then? Thought so. Time to back to your holes in the ground. Perhaps you can find the Iraq WMD's there...

McCain has been paddling upstream ever since he announced the "barracuda" as his V.P. choice. Now he's sinking.....rapidly!

Why does CNN post this garbage? It's not news....its propoganda...give us news...not the spin from the campaigns!!

The two party system won't be the the end of us...the media in its never ending search for high ratings–will.

What articles do they cite? Who are their sources? How can the media keep allowing McCain to get away with false accusations?

SLANDER!

We have to hold our nominees accountable for this nonesense!

Vote Obama.
And say no to the smears!

It will blow back on Obama and extinguish his self-proclaimed flame of superiority.

Race-baiting, gender bias, hateful misogyny, insulting derision of fellow democrats, dismissing the entire democratic base... THAT was the real swiftboating.

Goldfarb criticized the media for reporting Obama campaign attacks on McCain’s honor, amid a concerted Democratic effort to paint McCain as ‘dishonorable.’

Well, John McCain has approved some of the most vile messages in this campaign, so in my estimation he is ‘dishonorable.’ Come on, enough with this garbage RNC and McCain, can we have an honest discussion?

Biden blasted McCain today. In a very big factual way. Wow, wow and wow!!!! Of course CNN is going to hide that in a Sarah Palin article. Step it up CNN, even Fox news has this as one of it's leading stories.

He was a fellow POW and has insights into the man. Democracy allows for his voice to be heard.

Mc Cain .the Truths hurt , at is true that you ben in Washington 26 Years ,an you done Nothing ?

I never did get how McCain's POW status made him anymore of a hero than any other American soldier who faced combat in Vietnam. Kerry's Vietnam service was used as a negative against him.

McCain is a survivor, not a hero. There is a big difference.

At least Obama's ads have some truth to them! You cannot say the same, Mr. McCain.

Palin/McSame "Power" People, it is now time to wake up. McShame is the wrong person to run our beloved America. "Thanks, but NO THANKS!

Neither is being a hypocrite and crying about the tactics you used against Hillary boomeranging back on you, Chosen One.

You've got to be kidding me !!

Also, McCain, you were a POW like 30 years ago !!!!!!! Time to talk about the Issues.... Oh yea, you don't know anything about the issues, sorry there my friend.

You need to retire and take Palin the pig with you.

Phony Old Whiner

Lets just get back to the issues.

These groups make me sick with there shameless mudslinging.

After what McSenile said today about the economy being strong- shouldn't that be enough of a clue for his supporters to realize it is time to vote Obama????????????????

And I hope to see more of them.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Kerry sat back and let the republicans and swift-boaters damage his reputation. The democrats are not going to let you do it again. We are going to fight back..........WITH THE TRUTH.

If McCain couldn't even beat Bush in the primaries, he ought to be SwiftBoated.

He got shot down over Hanoi because he didn't fly his route - maverick.

Take it in McCain – you deserve it for all the LIES and negative ads you have put out.

McCain trying to point the finger at Obama now – No, won't work.

Obama letting the public in on McCain's LIES isn't a wrong thing to do. Actually, I appreciate the fact that Obama let's us know just what type of person McCain is and keeps the reality check on drive.

McCain spreading LIES to the people is wrong.

POINT your finger at yourself McCain – you are the one to blame.

McCain is back in Kindergarden today!!

It's too late old man. Blame nobody but yourself! You've just brought your own demise today with your economy comment. Remember Marie Antoinette when she said "let them eat cake!"? You are too blind to the needs of America to be its future leader.

This confirms, once and for all, that the McCain campaign will do or say anything. They are complaining about an attack ad?! They haven't said a word in weeks that wasn't (a) an attack based on lies, (b) a positive claim about themselves based on lies, (c) a response–you guessed it, based on lies–to a legitimate ad (whether negative or positive) from Obama. Pathetic! They've got nothing on issues, so they bloviate all the time.

WHERE HAVE ALL OF YOU BEEN? 527'S HAVE BEEN ATTACKING OBAMA ON BEHALF OF MCCAIN SINCE JUNE. NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, OBAMA IS SOMEHOW DOING SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE!!!

The last mistake that we as american will make is to put another lobb-republican in the WH. People, can you see whats happening.......Military is so stretch out....... Our mortgage crisis......our Freddie and fannie meltdown...... And now our money/ Financial Market....... What Economy is MC-PAlin is taking about?

Oh Yeah!! "Our economy is still fundamentally sound "!!

please old man –just go away.McCain your just an old man with Issues and you don't know the truth from a lie

O B A M A--–C H I C A G O--P O L I T I C S ---D O N ' T----

W O R K---O N---T H E---R E S T---O F----U S

Obama's campaign has nothing to do with this ad.
I am an Obama supporter and I don't like it.
I think it should be pulled.
OBAMA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS AD.

CNN's Poll of Polls will tip another 2% in McCain's favor b/c of the American public growing sick of the Obamabot Wahaaaaaaambulance's constant whining.

McBush certainly ought to know about Swift-boat attack ads....that's all he's been sending out over our airwaves and they disgust me!!!

McCain was not just a POW, he said no to being released early because he knew it was wrong if he got out sooner than other men who were captured before him. That takes real courage, something Obama knows nothing about. People and country first !!!!!!!

Be prepared people –

If this mess doesn't get McCain's numbers up, he'll just have some of his party's "friends" create a world crisis to get them up.

AND he'll blame Obama for it.

FEAR-MONGERING IS NEXT

Bet you wish we were still on Sarah, ehh Johnny?

If you want to make a good investment take your money out of Wall Street and donate to Obama!!!

McCain can have a POW, but Obama can't. Many what a cry baby McCain is. He is not fit to lead! How does it feel to get sand kicked back in your face! When is Cindy coming out to cry again? Steve Schmidt is such an outrageous liar, but ha and McCain can't take a dose of their own medicine! OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

Ask any military person that was in a sustained enemy environment about PTSD. Or how about asking about the many times he denounced the USA under duress as a prisoner. Ok, give him a break because he was being tortured but this is the VERY REASON we can't have him in the White House. It's called post traumatic syndrome disorder. Look at McCain interview on the VIEW, he is pathetic. His VP shows the same signs and she has not yet been under the stress of a presidency. Please America, THINK, before you vote.

I noticed how angry McCain acted on the VIew. He seems like he would not be able to keep his cool at all, once put under pressure. Repubs refuse to stick to issues, all they are doing is trying to steer clear of them. First it was the lipstick, then Oprah, now this! Give me a break and talk about the things that matter!

McCains boat has been sinking fast on its own....

Say the same lie over and over again and it will sink in and we'll believe it. Thats the Mccain way........Repeat, repeat and repeat again...ok... the Lie is now Fact...

Um, according to youtube, the video was released two weeks ago.

This is NEWS?

McCain this is all in your head, you whiner!

We need to look ourselves in the mirror and realize that if we don't vote for Obama and elect McCain, we are doing so because we don't want to vote for a black man. I am a white woman and am voting for Obama. To vote in McCain/Palin is a disgrace and nothing less. If this Country does that, it should be ashamed.

Take it like a man, McWhiner!!!!!!

That's a good slogan Lee from Florida

McCain is doomed with all the repubs this year.

no more repubs in the white house.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Two things need to happen .. Obama needs to win the presidential nomination, and the white house needs to be changed to "The Presidential House.:

The world is changing. With no dis-respect to the veterans of government, America's leadership needs a new face, a new personality, and a new direction.

All events in thpast 10 years or so leads to one conclusion: The world needs to come together. Bottom line...

This "story", brought to you by the paid for Obamabot fanboys known as CNN.....

Wonders shall never end.
Fist came the McCain and Palin lies and smears against Obama. When questioned about it, they state their bones were picked clean. Now Obama is a swift boater. This is just funny.
McCain is just an idiot.
Palin is a political gimmick whose 15 minutes of fame will soon end.
Cindy is just a vulture.

Hahaha, this has to be the most ridiculous charge coming out of the McCain camp. Have you seen you're ads? I feel like they think America is some Orwellian society where they can just say whatever they feel like. The real swiftboaters are actually planning a multi-million dollar ad campaign to swift boat Barack Obama.

Shame on the McCain Campaign!

McCain accusing Obama of negative campagining. I'm seriously rollin' on the floor here! Just like he's all about change, huh?

Next he's going to say "I know you are but what am I?"

This is getting ridiculous. According to McCain Obama is responsible for everything. CNN is happy to print this as actual news of course.

Please,
McCain stop whining.

If you can't take the heat then don't start the political attacks and swiftboating politics you claim are so bad.

I love It Obama did not have a hand in it But whoever did my hat is off to you the Mccain campaign is a Bunch of Liars i don't Belive Nothing they say they could tell that it was raining out side i would go out there in a tank top and flip flops on I will never trust a Republican on ther Word. Mccain campaign have been lying in ads for the past two Months now a Independent Group is airing ads I say woorah because just 2 weeks ago 527 for Mccain said they were going to run ads in ke battleground state to Lie about Obama. So whoever did give me you website so i can Contribute. Anybody know there website

Where are these comments about McCain's temper coming from? I've never seen him use language like "I can't stand" another sitting senator, as Obama's buddy and senate majority leader Harry Reid has said. As far as I've seen, he's never lost his cool on the campaign trail, despite vicious verbal and written attacks by the press, during some of his town hall meetings, and low blows from his opponent.

Please, give me one example of McCain losing his temper.

Hahaha, this has to be the most ridiculous charge coming out of the McCain camp. Have you seen you're ads? I feel like they think America is some Orwellian society where they can just say whatever they feel like. The real swiftboaters are actually planning a multi-million dollar ad campaign to swift boat Barack Obama.

Shame on the McCain Campaign!

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH OBAMA? ...

Is this the same man who REFUSED to apologize for the slanderous lies in his ads that HE APPROVED? It's a 527, and as McCain put it earlier, candidates have no control over the 527's. Remember?

That's funny! Even Karl Rove the master of politricks has stated that McCain has gone too far.

I'm sure a few more out there can vouch for McCains instability. How did Cindy break her wrist? No, I mean really.

The truth hurts. Does McCain have any experience beyond the POW experience? Palin is not much of a fall-back. If Obama won't go negative his supporters will. There is too much at stake. Anything to get people to see the truth.

Is John McCain coherent at all? Oh I get it, do the crime and then accuse the victim. John McCain is pathetic and low. He has no honor. If all America needs is a POW to qualify him or her, can't we find another one? John McCain won't do.

Your own medicine doesn't tasts so good does it McCain? McCain is a hot head who will fly off the handle, just like Buch did on Iraq.

OH, PUH-LEAZE!!!!

The more I read about McSame and his beauty queen (who scares the living hell out of me!) the more I think the man is losing his mind. I seriously think the man has lost it and the most telling sign is the fact that he plans to leave his beloved country in HER charge WHEN HE DIES IN OFFICE!

PLEASE GOD, SAVE US FROM MCPAIN AND PALIN!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008, 2012

That shrill siren you hear is the Obamabot Whaaaaaambulance careening out of control yet again.

Count on this board to be covered in whining about Palin, Rove and George W. Bush.

Hey Democrats, try focusing on an issue or two by November, ok? Thanks.

Senator McCain has to look no farther than the closest mirror to find the person responsible for the tone of this election season. If he demonstrated half as much honor as he talks about, things would be much more civil. I have no sympathy for the GOP and any alleged swift boat attack levelled against it this year. There is the old saying, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. McCain's campaign build the kitchen, now he doesn't want to cook in it.

I cannot belive this the Republications accusing Obama of swit
boat attack.sounds funny.

i am glad someone has finally said it..and i agree

being a POW does not automatically make you qualified to be the leader of our country.. there are many other factors involved, including many negatives, such as being a liar, which negate the POW status. imo.

What goes around, comes around!!!!! Go Sen. Obama. McFossil needs a wake up call. While the majority of Americans feel he deserves the credit for serving his country, the truth of the matter is finally coming to a head - it does not make one fit to be commander in chief. It sure looks like the only thing that the Republicans have to offer up is "whinning" but then again, isn't that what his campaign manager "Phil" said we were. Go Senator Obama and the rest of the Dems.

a past Republican who is DEFINITELY GOING "OBAMA" this 2008!

Oh Boo Hoo. Poor John McCain. Poor republicans. Boo Hoo. Not so fun when the shoe's on the other foot, eh Mr. McSame? Boo Hoo....

Wow, pot meet kettle. McCain has become dishonorable by approving lies, stealing messages, and using POW inappropriately as an excuse. The McCain I supported in 2000 would not have done those things.

Voting for Obama this year.

The McCain campaign has become a Nation of Whiners

This lying fool takes everything he is doing and tries to blame Obama for doing the same thing and when Obama does something popular and intelligent McCain turns around again and claims he was the one who is doing it. The sad thing is there are so many fools in this country that believe him. What a bunch of idiots.

The only ones putting out negative ads are the Republicans. Anyone blaming Senator Obama of starting this first is totally confused. McCain even said that if he was willing to debate with him he wouldn't be doing these ads. It is kind of childish for a man his age to be doing these ads out of spite.

No way no how no McCain no Palin....end of comments

The McCain campaign has jumped the shark. They peaked about a week ago with Palin.

Not the first time McCain's hot temper has been called to question. He's been known to have a pretty short fuse. Nothing worse than someone who's senile with an anger management problem.
Can you see it? "The economy is sound! I said it is!!" , and he thrown the microphone into the audience.

You know, that ridiculously inaccurate smear ad about Ayers was put out by a group, the "American Issues Project", which was funded by a max McCain donor, and everybody working there was formerly on McCain's staff.

Hypocrisy now.

Where is the John McCain who ran for President back some years ago? I have said it for a while now, he is running a very dishonorable campaign. Even Karl Rove who is the king of nasty has said that some of the McCain ads have gone too far. Now he is trying to flip the script but it is just shameful.

That shrill siren you hear is the Obamabot Whaaaaaambulance careening out of control yet again. Hey, Chosen One, you pulled this sort of nonsense on Hillary; did you expect things to not come back and bite you in the rump?

Hillary 2012

They are all crooks and hypocrits. When will here here about OTHER CANDIDATES. This country needs another party to bring some order!

If independent ads like this are not allowed to work with either campaign because of the regulations, isnt it a litlle presumptuous of McCain to link Obama to it? I mean, he does have PROOF OF THAT, of course.

If it is the truth then why is it a problem. You never heard Obama complain about all the negative ads on him. McSame is always whinning when the rock is thrown back at his front yard. Anyway, I don't want to hear from someone who told me months ago that they don't know anything about the economy. What about my stocks???

This has got to stop. Please know your facts, get them right when you say them and don't smear the other guy.

I want answers to who is going to help us, not crap!

It doesn't really matter much what either of these candidates has to say. The Democrats have nominated a completely unacceptable candidate and will lose in November. This will be the first time in my life that I won't vote for the Democrat. The left wing of the party and the DNC have dug their own grave.

It's about time you tasted your own medicine McCain!!!

Republicans finally get a taste of their own medicine, so they try to blame Obama, yet again. It's pathetic because McCain is the one who started the negative attacking and has done it more than 2 times Obama ever has! Just check independent sources like FactCheck.org. Did any of these people see the RNC fest? It was so full of hate and intolerance, that they fail to see anything beyond that. Good for the 527s – let them do the dirty work that Obama can't and won't do!

"I see," said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

This old guy will fall aslep on the red button. It´s time Americans see the ticket as what it is: a risk for the economy and a risk for world peace.

John McCain is one nasty whiney old guy who edoesn't have a grip on reality.

You mean Mr. Noun, a verb, and I'm a POW is complaining about swiftboating. Give me a break.

The ad is simply stating fact. McCain is clearly unfit to lead this great nation.

-A house divided

Obviously we are not divided. Bill and Hillary are on board and there hand wasn't forced. Politics is politics. Republicans have Karl Rove and the Democrats have this well oiled machine. Get over it. What goes around comes around and it's coming right back in your face.

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON/WARNER 08-20

Poor republicans. They can give it out, but any response to their slander = righteous indignation on their part. When will the public wise up?

If you examine McCain's military career, and even his time as a POW closely, you'll see that there is a lot in there that isn't positive. The Vietnamese give McCain the code name "Songbird" for the numerous statements he made for them.. which McCain himself later sealed the records on while in Congress. He's also a reverse Ace... meaning that he lost 5 aircraft while in service, several of them due to pilot error. Unfortunately, the MSM won't touch any of this, but you can still google it and decide for yourselves.

Hey Obama-Junkie

In case you had not read this artical it is about JOHN MCCAIN being swift-boated, not Obama.

I do like your name. I guess you are refering to the fact that Obama was a junkie during College.

It is amazing how the Obama Campaign is expected to"Roll Over and Play Dead". In life sometimes we have to fight back.

We sat back as McCain said thah things would not have gotten negative if Obama had agreed with him and attended his town hall meetings Does that justify lying and low blows???????

THIS IS THE AMERICA WE WANT TO LEAVE TO OUR CHILDREN AND TO USE OURS AS A MODEL FOR THE WORLD.

"BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING"

I hate to see him go this route but the mcsane's camp left him no choice with all the lies they have been running.

McCain is not stable! For him to be so opposite of who he was just a few years ago, shows his lack of emotional stability. Why else would someone hire the same people who smeared your campaign (your family) in 2000? He has flip-flopped on every major issue since then and now is going so low as to dishonor himself by first selecting a Vice President who wasn't properly vetted to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and then repeating lines that have been shown to be lies from most every news organization in the country. Please don't tell me this is the "liberal news media on a vendetta". This is his record in print and his words he refuses to be accountable for. Those of you who would vote for him, need to really search your conscience. This man is not the hero he once was. I am not so sure he ever was!

Obama is going with the misguided notion that he can parade around and cry out "liar" and no one can strike back. You know factcheck.org lists Obama lies too.

It is a very fragile situation to claim perfection – a house of cards.

Do I hear chickens coming home?

Republicans get a taste of their own medicine!
Go Eagles!

Now McSame is lying about his lies. That is pretty rich! But what can you expect out of a untreated PTSD victim but rage and deflection. I did not trust him when he marched off the plane when he returned from North Vietnam and I don't trust him now. Maybe, just mabe he can regain America's trust if he gets his PTSD treated and under control; However, that would require him admitting that he has PTSD and that will never happen.

Is it a lie? Is McCain challenging the accuracy? Is it a dishonest ad?

No?

Cope, McCain. Cope. What will you do when belligerent world leaders try to get under your skin?

In today's volatile world..........Lord knows, we don't need a President with a volatile temperment !

McCain's temper is well known by lots of people. Just in the interviews he gives, you can see evidence of it. When pressed too hard.........his disposition changes VERY ABRUPTLY.

NO WAY, MCCAIN !!!!!!!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

Note to John McCain: have you ever heard the phrase, "What goes around, comes around"? Don't try playing the role of the innocent party here. You shook up a hornet's nest when you came out with outrageous lies about Obama, and now you are getting back some of what you slung out. Don't act all surprised and outraged–this is the way some supporters are going to react when you go after their candidate.

NOW THAT'S FUNNY!! i DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE.

All I can say is that all you demo's should have been more supportive of Hillary! Hey, I typically vote Republican but I would have voted for Hillary. What they are doing to her now is shameful, making her support Obama!!! Obama is weak and cannot make a decision on his own!!!

Holy smokes, the Obamabot Whaaaaaambulance is just WAILING away today, isn't it?

Anyone else notice that "The Chosen One couldn't get to Colorado fast enough after Palin was there this morning? OBama is absolutely OBSESSED with Palin and GW Bush, but he's running against McCain!!!! Worst campaign EVER!!!!!

McCAin is a crazy guy. He is so scary! He lies with such conviction that I am often led to believe that dementia has set in. He appears to be unaware of what he has said immediately before the subsequent statement at any time.

The Republicans are complaining about getting swiftboated? Now that's funny.

Oh Puh-lease! This from the same man who is running an ad saying that Barack Obama is trying to teach sex to kindergarteners.

I can not believe people are voting for this man. Its just one more reason to vote for Barack Obama, because CLEARLY the education system in this nation is failing.

McCain says the economy is still sound!!!

PROOF that being a POW is neither sufficient nor necessary for becoming President. Now, intelligence... THAT helps.

Well, McCain and the Repugnicans would certainly know one when they saw one. As as the Repugnicans know, if you say it, it must be true.
Get a life, McCain. Quit crying for five seconds and actually say something about issues.

Hmm. He's upset because we aren't buying into his "the economy is strong" theory. McCain/Palin supporters, NOW is the time to WAKE UP and OPEN YOUR EYES.

Vote for Obama, regardless of your party. Unite for this important election or we will all be paying for the cost.

Swift boat ! What a novel idea !! Seeing that you have stolen all of Obama's campaign themes , someone has stolen one of yours McCain !! The only difference in the add about you , is that it is the TRUTH ! I guess YOU JUST CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! Obama has no involvement in this new add , so get over yourself. When you are the author of a smear campaign McCain , some of what you put out there is bound to rub off on you ! All I can say is , GOOD ON YA !!

It's about time. We all respect his service to this country. However, his POW days are not a good enough reason to elect him to be president. As a matter of fact, G.W. looks real good to me compared to what the republicans are offering right now. McCain is a hot head who is not very smart at all. Everything he's achieved in life has been through the work of someone else. He even had to marry a rich woman just so he could take care of himself. Not presidential material by any means.

I just can't take it anymore! McCain has not done a single ad about the issues. McCain has slammed Obama in every ad. He's done NOTHING but negative campaigning. When someone questions him about it.. he cries that he's being attacked.

Forget about not voting for him.. If I saw McCain at a bar.. I don't know if I'd be able to keep myself from punching him in the face!

This guy is beyond lacking honor. At this point he's more like the tattletail child bully who takes shots on the playground at everyone else and then puts on the innocent act whenever the adults (in this case the media) come askig what happened. This guy makes me want to heave.

Boo Hoo!!! McCain's group is such a bunch of crybabies. The can dish it out garbage and lies, but can't take anything (especially the truth) - they are so sensitive. Cry me a river!!!

It is about time McCain gets his comeuppance...
Keep this stuff coming.

McCain puts America first. No swiftboating about it..

What a hoot...calling saying Obama is using "Swift Boat tatics". This from the ones that started them all 8 years ago. How funny. Maybe McCain should have joined Obama at some of his town hall meetings then Obama wouldn't have gotten so mean to him. Isn't that his excuse for the negative tone he has been using??

Get used to it McCain, it may just get worse before it gets better.

Obama/Biden 08

These are your tactics Johnny boy, can't take the heat, toooooooo .Bad

Everyone take time to read or watch the Phillip Butler interview....

It is very fascinating and revealing about McCain...

Butler was a friend and co-student with McCain for all the years at the Naval Academy and he knows him quite well....he was a prisoner of war along with 600 others in Hanoi and was there two years longer than McCain....

Cheers!

John McCain: It's the economy, stupid. Haven't you picked up a newspaper or read about what's happening on Wall Street? Forget about your cartoon distortions of the Democrats. You are a Republican . Period. This election is about accountability for the past 8 years of fiscal mismanagement. All of this ongoing nonsense from the McCain campaign is meant to make people forget that he is the leader of the party that made this mess. How is he going to unmake it ,exactly?

Why does McCain think only he can give all the negatives of his opponent?? If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen McCain. Obama is going to win this election no matter how negative you are because he took the time to educate himself (magna cum laude) and work in the community he now serves. Unlike you, McCain, who played in school to barely get out of the Academy, threw your loyal wife under the bus to make your life easy and marry BEER money. No, not this time, not this year. We will rise up as we have before in defense of the American people for the love of our country and defeat those like you who would drag our country in the mud! Obama/Biden '08!!

So, after throwing buckets of mud at Obama and trying to set records for lying smears, now McCain is going to whine that he might get hit back?

Sounds like a guy who throws a sucker punch in a bar and then cowers when the other guy goes to hit him back. They should have not dished it out if they couldn't take it – and you can bet the negative stuff thrown at McCain will be 10 times more truthful than all the absolute lies that have been going the other direction.

The economy is not fundamentally strong, but the McCain economic program is fundamentally stupid. Vote McCain if you want 8 more years of out-of-touch leadership.

How has Obama criticited his patroitism when he and Joe Biden say in every speack we honor his service to this country.. Right Mccain lies, lies lies....Mccain is the one being dishonest one ad after the other is lie after lie.. Thats not attacking your patroitism Mccain it makes you a lier... .. Shame on you Mccain.... Shame on you.....

McCain trying to distract us from his "economy is strong" gaffe today??

McCain looked the other way when similar ads were run against Obama during the primaries. (his honor/respect and leadership out the window)

Lipstick on a Pig – oh wait, only McCain can use that line on Hillary 3 times!!

Aww can't handle it McCain? Maybe your tools Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham can help out?

I'm a vet and I have always stood up for a fellow vet. However, McCain has lost touch with most of the population and doesn't understand our economic failures. He avoids the tough questions and issues such as healthcare and foreign policies. John, vet or not, I have to vote for Obama.

There is only truth about the Bush + bad temper in this ad, told by a guy who served with him and was POW even longer. (and this guy does not seek presidency based on that).
Now, if you don't afraid Bush + bad temper as a new president and Bush + even more extremism as a new VP, then you are mad.

Obama/Biden 2008

Don't you people get it by now ... Obama will not win.

Period, case closed, end of story. Not in my lifetime.

Palin was in Colorado today and said that she will "reform government" but offered no specifics. She and McSame are talking this "reform" stuff but are not giving any specifics on what they will reform.

....and their evidence is.....??

"He also charged that Obama had also questioned McCain’s patriotism, although he did not provide an example."

McCain I bet is running scared and he is trying his best to make Obama a bad person,,,,,Look I am doing bad because of the economy. McCain people are losen jobs like crazy I hope you lose your jobs in November

Is the kettle calling the pot black now? What is the matter Mr. McCain, can't you take some heat. Now the cry baby tactic.

Are they serious?? These people are insane!

Shaky and Flaky started campaign smears first and so Obama and Biden have no choice but to say "two can play the same game".

Who is allow these ads to air on the stations? ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Fox are all accountable for taking this political blood money. We will not forget..

Some guys can't stand not being the war hero. SOUR GRAPES Mr. Butler ! You are just looking for your "15 minutes" Go pound sand.

Well, as they say...what comes around goes around.

From the text version of this ad, nothin in it appears to be false. Therefore it isn't close to what swift boating is.

IT'S TRUE....JUST CUZ U SERVED, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN LEAD AND BUILD THIS ECONOMY, HEALTHCARE.......
IF THATS THE CASE, I DID R.O.T.C IN HIGH SCHOOL....WHERE DO I SIGN UP TO LEAD THE COUNTRY

Yes, we are on the attack. Call it what you wanna republicans. His war buddy says he doesn't want McWar's finger on the red button. As Gen. Wesley Clark stated a while ago, being a POW doesn't qualify you to be C-I-C.

JUST REPEAT EVERYTHING oBAMA SAYS ONE WEEK AFTER HIM.
MCCAIN ELECTION STRATEGY

LOL

Too funny ... Sorry John, but for a togh ole' POW; you sure are whining a whole lot about tactics your campaign this year ...

Looks like the pit-bull is starting to bite you now ...

Anything that comes against them and shows their flaws they claim outrage. Its ok for them to do it though, right?

You guys came up with the swift boat campaign. If I remember correctly you also were fined pretty heavily for misleading ads as the 'swift boaters' were mostly just actors.

Grow a spine GOP. You guys would love it if the Obama camp doesn't respond to your fabricated attacks.

What's good fof the goose,.............. Surprising the McCain campaign of complaining about swift style with their mountain lies and distrorted truth ads. I do remember during the RNC Convention they interviewing McCain's fellow P.O.W. cellmate or next door neighbor but maybe someone else has a different opinion of McCain and obviously he does. I've learned politics is dirty, unfortunately.

Well, the truth hurts, doesn't it McShame. You didn't mind when they pulled it on Kerry did you. Karma is a wonderful thing!

Some guys can't stand not being the war hero. SOUR GRAPES Mr. Butler ! Go pound sand.

Wasn't it last week that McCain was accused of swiftboat type attacks by the Obama group?

Does he do ANYTHING at all that is original?

CRY BABY!!!

Mccain campaign and its allies (RNC and independent groups) are fine with doing away with Obama's character and lying about his positions, and when they get hit back by Dems, they cry. That is rich, what comes around goes around Mccain!

STOP THE INSANITY.

I am willing to admit I was wrong the past 8 years.

FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON ME. FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME. FOOL ME THREE TIMES – IT'S WORLD WAR THREE!!!!

Aside from the facts here... isn't it hilarious to hear Republicans whining about "Swift Boating"??? McCain has hired a wagon-load of Karl Rove clones and apparently they can dish it out but not take it.

127 days till the end of the Bush administration.

Was McComb-over complaining in 2004 when this was done to Kerry? I doubt it.

You are so confused, how can the McCain campaign complain about anything since they've been lying seeing as they've been lying for the last three weeks. .

Shame ! Shame! Obama . This sure is the politics of hope you so talk to right. I am a Clinton democrat and I will be voting for Nader. Mccain maybe like Bush. But you are not like the saint your followers claim you are !

Ralph Nader 08

Truth from a fellow POW hurts..Huh? Shut up McCain.

This is not the way to go, they better go after McCain on the issues and not try to go negative on his POW status, that will piss a lot of people off, Obama better try again, he will loose if he continues on this path.

Um, John, the original authors and fund raisers from the original Swift Boat attacks are creating ads for your campaign right now. Are you sure you want to accuse your opponent of thinking like your campaign?

Payback is a mother for ya!

Is that the pot calling the kettle black? This is too funny...
Go Obama/Biden

Bob Indianapolis, IN September 15th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT MCSAME AND HIS ROVIAN LOBBYISTS HAVE THE MARKET CORNERED ON IRONY…

Indeed! This is one of the crazier things I've heard them come up with.

McCain can clarify his economic chest beating all he wants. "Out of touch" is too generous a term to label him.

I hope Obama remember how John McCain denounced the ad running in NC that showed Rev. Wright.

The 527 ads are dirty and low on both sides and us independant voters do not like them. If anything, I feel more sympathic to Senator McCain now.

Both sides need to condemn these type of ads. Especially this one where Senator Obama and Joe Biden have both praised Sen. McCain for his service to the country and his heroism in Vietnam.

It would be a shame for the Obama camp to get down in the mud with this 527 group.

Linda, Salem MA

So now John McCain feels the pain.

The old pot calling the kettle black ! Don't take us for idiots, McCain. Your ads are sleazy and despicable. You must really be desperate to approve them. So much for your so-called "integrity". You are a weasel.

This is the year the DNC allowed the charismatic half black man to swiftboat a candidate of his own party to gain an advantage so that he might have ashot at making history.

Hillary was sacrificed so Obama could be the democrat next to the big "D" on the ballot- this was the year for this folly- since no democrat could lose- and no republican could win.

McCain is hiding behind the babe's skirt. He has consistently lied, and played dirty. He has zero intergrity left as evidenced by Rudy G, George B, Karl R., and Sarah P. They are going to take America down if we don't be smart.

Did they say NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN??LOL GOES around COMES AROUND . Right John?

McCain started the negative campaign. Now they are getting what they sowed and crying about it.

Yes Obama, be nice to poor Mr. McCain. He wouldn't think about doing such a thing to you now, would he?

=====mcWar tell me how are you going to fix the economy?

Sad, but these are the ads that win elections in America.

NOT Obama.

Ask Hillary. She will vouch for how nice Obama plays politics.

lol i Love it.... the independent group was right in the Ad ... lol i love it

ARE YOU KID"N ME!

mccain slogan is "i will do to you what you may not do to me"

disgraceful

Awww, America has become a nation of whiners . . . .

Obama is the master of the swift-boat attack.

His propaganda machine spins it completely around so that Obama looks nice, innocent and above it all.

Who do you think is pulling the strings of his campaign and his supporters? Obama is the totalitarian master mind of his media celebrity messiah campaign- he is calling the shots. His army follows his e-mail and text-message directives.

He say go for the kill and the robots for Obama obey.

You have got to be kidding me. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Can't take their own medicine can they! Just like pigs! Poke em and they SQUEEEEEEEELLLLLLL.....

Finally someone tells the truth about Crazy McCain.

Republicans make me sick! Obama had no choice but to go negative against McBride (that Mccain/Palin ticket is disgusting). No morals and no truth. I was a Republican, Mccain LOST MY VOTE! PEriod.

Obama/Biden 08 & 12

Too bad JM. The GOP pulled this on Kerry, now it's coming around to bite you in the backside. Deal with it

Now this is funny.....

Well.........We have heard it from the horse's, I mean pig's mouth. And I quote:
Speaking at a rally in Florida on Monday morning, McCain said: "I believe, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times.” Unquote.
Difficult times is when gas is up, for a short period of time. Or a household member get's laid off temporarily. But, we may all be affected by this buddy. Especially those of us with money tied up in investment markets. No offense McCain, but enough is enough. It is time to retire. Not only is Palin not qualified, but neither are you. I am now very afraid, if you get in office, we are all going down with you.

Obama is right. McCain is not just out of touch with the communication age, he is just out of touch period. His brand of politics may have worked 20 years ago, but we now America should choose the "Change We Need".

Obama 08'

Calling the spin-doctor, calling the spin-doctor–do you copy, over...

McCain you are so foolish. US economic fundamentals are not 'strong'. Where have you been for the past year? Oh– In one of your seven-ten houses; depending on what the definition of house is. You sir are a moronic, incompetent republican puppet, a dwindling shadow of your former self.

You say the fundamentals are the American worker's– we'll jobs are being lost and sent overseas thanks to you. Good lookin out for the fundamentals.

WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT MCSAME AND HIS ROVIAN LOBBYISTS HAVE THE MARKET CORNERED ON IRONY...

This is just getting ridiculous. The McCain camp are running a campaign that will say and do nearly anything to win. It's just sad that they don't offer any concrete plans or policies, just generic rhetoric in which the media and non-thinking Republicans eat up.

I think so. The Swift hurted John Kerry and DNC four years ago now comes back to haunt them as well! LOL

Obama= all show, no go!

It worked with Hillary... well sort of... Obama destroyed the democratic party and their chances of winning in Nov.

But it was Sooooooooooooooooo much fun to sabotage Hillary by using the nasty, sleazy, underhanded Chicago style politics.

Intra-party vitriol will come bck and bite Obama in his cute, arrogant butt.
