There is a movie clip showing McCain’s plane being hit by a accedently fired missle on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

These liberals are really bad people.

Isn’t that incident on film? I thought I saw it on the History Channel. Why spread a rumor that is easily refutable?

I don’t think anyone will try to attack McCain with this.

They just did.

You tell me. We've reached apoint where there's nothing to despicable that a liberal won't say it. Facts don't matter anymore and all "opinions" are "equally good".

Are you going to believe your lieing eyes or the sainted antiwar Obamaists? Come on now, when does reality get in the way of a good lefty smear.

You’re right, it was a Zuni from an F-4 and not from McCain’s aircraft.

The claim is that McCain wet-started his plane, which resulted in a large flame coming from the planes tail, which ignited the F4`s rocket. DU`ers believe McCain is guilty of murdering the Forrestal`s crew.

That sort of Charlie Foxtrot excuse for thought could only have come from DU.
