The Democratic National Committee has sparked outrage among veterans and others across the internet by running an anti-John McCain ad that shows U.S. soldiers being blown up.
After the new ad
But it doesnt' really show US soldiers being blow up. It shows some kind of explosive, fairly small, going off near two soldiers, but they cut away just as the soldiers start to react. No blood, no guts, anything could have happened from that point forward. Nothing fun though. Unless it was like captured the Jihadi made clip of them shooting a medic, only to see him get up and run behind his HMMWV. What the short version didn't show was the Calvary arriving, in the form of two more HMMWVs, one complete with Ma Duece, capturing or killing their a$$es and liberating the video.
DAmn straight - and then he tells us that WE belong on DU - and since stockpirate is so fond of the expression - this is just for him/her.
Shud up
I hadn’t seen the ram but it’s appropriate. :)
I will never cast a vote for John McCain, but no candidate that supports the military should have that trash aired in an add against him.
As for the DNC, they should wear diapers if their bowels can’t be controled any better than that.

Smooth, I love my contry, in fact read my about me page. When Kerry ran I read all 12,000 pages of the FBI files on the VVAW and posted over 50 articles here about the scum at the DNC now and then.
McCain is a Socialist which is what we should be fighting.
And I like what Tom Delay said, that conservatives need to apply as much pressure as we can to bring McCain to the right.
Well it appears to me that the DNC are making it very easy for us.
Of course other RINO will not like that he moves to the right, but so what.
You hate McCain so much that you don't see a problem with this ad? You can go to hell, pal.
Red Rover you must be very stupid or just a moron.
I have stated that the ad is a POS and that the DNC should never have run it.
And no I do not hate McCain. But I do hate socialism and he does lean that way.
For 8 years he has trashed Conservatives and sucked up to the liberals in hopes of being seen as differnt and that he would be treated in a differnt manner.
Well I hope this is his wake up call.
And let me state again for the slow minded, I think this ad is a POS, and the people that ran are even worse.
But McCain, the man that has only recently been selling out his conservative base deserves whatever the left, which he loves throw at him if thats what it takes to wake him up, if in fact he can be.
And red, no news channels are discussing this ad this morning, why?
PING!
You said that McCain deserved whatever the DNC threw at him. Sorry I’m so stupid that I thought you meant what you said.
If so why not go back to DU where you and him belong.
At this point we are facing a choice of McCain or the winner of the hillary/obama mudwrestling campaign. So if faced with a choice of McCain vs hillbama, opposition to McCain equals support of whom? Whose supporters are more likely to belong over at DU? Your post may very well qualify as the stupidest thing I have read all month.
That is a stupid move. Don't demand the ad be pulled; trumpet the fact that the DNC considers al qaeda recruiting videos to be appropriate campaign ad material.
I do understand that about the chioces. However McCain is not making it easier to cast a vote against these two, with him moving more to the left each day.
Is he so stupid to think thatwhen it comes time to vote that the Socialists are really going to vote for him.
I realize that the two dems know this is not the case for him, so if he doesn’t he may just be tooo stupid to be president.
Principles should trump politics at least once in a while, don't you think?
And the principle that SHOULD BE at play here is that when someone says something outrageous you should confront it for its offensiveness and point out what is wrong with it rather than demanding that somebody else silence it. Rather than demand the networks pull the ad, counter it with ads that decry the DNC for using the equivalent of al qaeda recruitment videos.
“The DNC is using al Qaeda recruiting videos? Let me be the last person on the planet to register surprise.”
The DNC and al Qaeda. Can anyone tell me a single difference between the two organizations? Other than the fact that the DNC hate America more and try harder to destroy our country.
