Vaguley remembered what this was referring to and had to look it up...

6) The myth: Sen. John McCain had an illegitimate black child.

The facts: There was an effort during the 2000 GOP presidential primaries to start a smear campaign against John McCain, who was running a tight race against George W. Bush in South Carolina, saying the Arizona senator had an illegitimate black child.

In an interview with NBC’s “Today Show” last year, political operative Karl Rove, who was said to have been behind the story, shot down the claim. He said he had “nothing to do” with the rumor, adding that it came from “a professor at Bob Jones University” and not the Bush campaign.

McCain and his wife, Cindy, have an adopted daughter from Bangladesh.

Bush ended up winning South Carolina 53% to 42%.

Meghan loves to hold grudges even when they are baseless.

And you know it’s baseless because Karl Rove told you so

There’s still a lot of residual Bush worship here on Freerepublic

Could McCain have defeated Gore in 2000?

“Meghan loves to hold grudges even when they are baseless.”

The nut didn’t fall far from the tree did it. Her daddy, John “Songbird” McCain had the same problem.
I wonder how the daughter he had with his first wife ended up. Probably better with him out of her life.

She is right, though. Don’t do that to Judge Barrett’s family.

But Democrats will, because they are 100 percent, completely, totally amoral.
