MCCAIN: No, here in South Carolina. You've seen it -- turn on the radio, turn on the television, and unfortunately now pick up the telephone and you'll hear a negative attack against John McCain.
But let me tell you what really went over the line. Governor Bush had an event, and he paid of it, and standing -- and stood next to a spokesman for a fringe veterans' group. That fringe veteran said that John McCain had abandoned the veterans.
Now, I don't know if you can understand this, George, but that really hurts, that really hurts.
And so five United States senators, Vietnam veterans, heroes, some of them really incredible heroes, wrote George a letter and said, Apologize, you should be ashamed...

John, I believe that you served our country nobly. And I've said it over and over again. That man wasn't speaking for me. He may have a dispute with you...
more of McCain interrupting, followed by Bush's conclusion:
BUSH: The man was not speaking for me. If you want to know my opinion about you, John, you served our country admirably and strongly, and I'm proud of your record, just like you are.
And I don't appreciate what he said about my dad, either. But let me say something, if you're going to be -- hold me responsible for what people for me say, I'm going to do the same for you. And let me give you one example.
Warren Rudman, the man who you had as your campaign man in New Hampshire, said about the Christian Coalition that they're bigots. He talked about the Christian Coalition in a way that was incredibly strong. I know you don't believe that, do you?
Complete distortion by the Kerry campaign in their ad. Perhaps Kerry will file an FEC complaint against himself for false and misleading advertising.
I'm dying to know: what was McLame's response?

McCain said that the man had the right to his opinion
I have reams-reams-of information about how McStain tarnished the memory of Vietnam Vets, POW/MIAs...he and JOHN FING KERRY! McMafia Budweiser Vietnam butt-boy McStain...
It sounded like a lover spat...like your wedding day.
1) McCain didn't like the speaker at Bush's event who slammed him over abandoning the veterans and attacking Bush Sr.
2) McCain complained about an over zealous Bush campaign phone caller who called McCain a liar and a cheat.
3) Bush denies calls.
4) Bush shows flyers. He was upset because McCain posted nasty flyers on car windshields...all over town.
5) McCain said he never circulated flyers.
6) Then they talked about Finance Reform. They kissed and made up.
Does not sound like Kerry's commerical. He wasn't at the wedding.
