Every American needs to see this video. John McCain's campaign temporarily suspended (not fired) a low-level campaign worker for posting this on You Tube. The kid did a great job putting it together.

I’m not disagreeing with the message, but the video would have been a LOT better without all of the herky-jerky editing. Maybe a stutter effect once or twice, but not throughout the whole darn video. Annoying, and it draws too much attention to the editing effect, away from what the people are actually saying.
Suspended? That’s different from fired. Good!
Another example of shoot from the hip by a person suffering from McCDS.
The person was only 'suspended' for a time, not fired.
This assured that the tape would get a wide play -
You never ran a campaign, I would wager.
Too many republicans these days have lost their thinking caps -
bttt
John McCain left his guts in Vietnam. He is a fool. He should be promoting this guy, not firing him.
Can anyone provide video of B.O. taking hard questions from a hostile media? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him under pressure.
Obama really does have a bit of a Malcom X thanng goin’ on.
“And so a video that may have been seen by a few has now been seen by many.
in addition = didn't have to pay to get it out...
Unable to view video.
However to your point about suspending author.
I have noticed that seems to be way this campaign is going.
Obama staffer calls Hildebeast a monster, she is fired. True or not it gets max play in media.
Hildabeast has Ferraro call Obama a wannabe, who would not be in race, except for the fact he is halfrican, she gets the boot. Lot of airtime.
This dude gets suspended and more airtime for his video.
I would love to see pol in this race tell their opponents to disprove accusation, except that there is no story in that strategy.
This is a win win for McCain. The video gets played and replayed and he stays above the fray. Remember 1 in 5 Obama supporters have said they would vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination.
The truth hurts to those who don’t want to hear it. To bad McCain is just another PC Nazi.
McCain should fire this staffer immediately. The audacity of this kid to speak ill of a fellow leftist and comrade in arms!
So what? That short Austrian corporal with the funny mustache was a great orator, too.
I think it was a smart move, stay above the fray. The Democrats are doing a good job eating each other for now.
Ditto. The "Max Headroom" effect throughout the video was pointless and distracting.

A news story I read said Lee Habib, Laura Ingraham’s former show producer, made this video.
Gotta see this video.
