Right-wing Radio has begun the swiftboating campaign.... against McCain!

[scheming daemons]

Tuned into a local RW hack this morning .... Jim Quinn in Pittsburgh.... was droning on about John McCain not REALLY being tortured during his time in the Hanoi Hotel... how he got preferred treatment, and how he is likely a "Manchurian candidate".

This stuff is great.... RW talk radio is going to do the dirty work for either Obama or Clinton... They're eating their own.

1. They're insane

Insanely amusing. Do they really think they can stop him with this shit?

[TwilightGardener]

2. When your lifelong nickname is "McNasty", you should be prepared

to have a lot of enemies. I don't care WHO takes him down, as long as someone does. Better his own side does it than us.

4. I don't think that's right whether it's a repub or dem

But that's the way politics works. :(

6. McCain has attacked my patriotism, and all Democrats' patriotism. I think

he deserves to rot in hell. I hope they tear him open like hyenas on a downed zebra's soft underbelly.

3. I'm unsettled by how conservative McCain's voting record really is. Imagine

how conservative the right-wingers must be to feel that McCain is too "moderate."

Yeeks.

5. listened last night to mark levin from new york

nothing but hatred for big john...

7. Good. If they're busy trashing him ...

maybe they'll leave our candidates alone. :-)

[Golden Raisin]

13. Dream on.

This is just the hors d'oeuvres before the brutal main course.

[BattyDem]

14. I know that ...

but at least they're focusing on their own candidates instead of ours for the time being. It's nice to have a primary without the RW smear machine distorting the views of our candidates. :-)

8. I hope they trash McCain in the GE - n/t

9. They are going to prove Hate Radio is not so powerful after

all.

Limbaugh was running his rabid attacks in Florida. McCain won
among rank and file GOP in Fla. He won in some oc the "reddest
parts of Fla"

it is Movement Conservatives(activists in DC and Radio Hate Talkers0
The people are voting McCain.

10. I keep saying that the neo con Mormon will be selected as prez

11. These people make me sick

I have absolutely no intention of voting for McCain but this kind of shit must stop. McCain has been through more hell in his life than any of these rw tools ever will. Same with Kerry. These men saw combat, lived to tell about it, didn't go insane,and yet they get trashed. What kind of sickness do we have in this country? We need to look at candidates based on their records and views, and I intend to do just that.

[Iceburg]

12. McCain stood up for Kerry ...will Kerry stand up for McCain? /nt

[LiberteToujours]

15. I bet he would

But I can't see any our Democratic candidates stooping to the level of trashing McCain's Vietnam experience should he win the nomination. If we do, I will definitely lose a lot of respect for the party and its "ideals".
