LA Times attacks John with hal lsat quotes from those who DID NOT fly with him. Followed by one line(at the bootom) of those that did...Good Grief.

[henkster]

I’m sure the la slimes mentioned how after he returned from ‘nam, he was made a squadron commander and ran a top-notch squadron, bringing an underperforming unit up to high standards of combat readiness. Yeah, I’m sure they are going to give that lots of play.

I’m also sure the slimes is going to tout the accomplishments of 0bama; how he took an underperforming Chicago ACORN organization and brought it up to high standards of extorting government money and bank loans to unqualified applicants. Yeah, they’ll be all over that....

[Mr. K]

OHMIGOD!!!!!! he “erred in using “a power setting too low to maintain level flight in a turn”

WELL THAT’S IT I AM DONE WITH MCCAIN NOW~!!!!!!!

[SERKIT]

John McCain will NOT seek out a prosecutor or sheriff to try and quash this article. Barry wants to use Attorney Generals (like in Delaware), prosecutors, and local law enforcement (like in Missouri) to make sure no one "lies" about him during the campaign. McCain fought for free speech, among the other liberties we enjoy.

“Larry Sinclair”, as a search term, cannot be found on FactCheck.org, and is never mentioned (last time I checked) on the “Fight the Smears” campaign website. Since Larry's story cannot be “fact-checked”, and isn't even considered a “smear”, then is Larry's story just an exotic limo ride on the way to Pennsylvania Avenue? It appears that Barry isn't even fighting stories that he did cocaine 9 short years ago - based on Larry's story. Did the public record of Larry's arrest in DC, extradition to Delaware, incarceration, and subsequent release get purged from the public record just like other sources regarding Barry? MSM is mum - scared maybe?

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls (EMPTY, DONE NOTHING EMPTY SUITS!) who know neither victory or defeat. "

LOL The LA Times thinks they can ‘swift boat’ McCain.

[LeonardFMason]

An examination of Barack Obamao’s miltary record revealed...........oh.....that’s right........he never served.

I have only crashed twice, but I can say this: anyone who can make a night carrier landing has the Big Brass: ons.

[bigbob]

Sent to an ex-Navy buddy who will just come unglued at their one-sentence reference to the USS Forrestal fire, which they more-less imply was somehow his fault.

This is a new low even for the Slimes. I can’t wait to see the demise of this “non-journalistic entity”.

[Sacajaweau]

So, let’s take a look at Obama’s service record. Sure would like to know what his classification was. I don’t think it was ever mentioned.

The 23-year-old junior lieutenant wasn't paying attention and erred in using "a power setting too low to maintain level flight in a turn," investigators concluded.

Thirty years later somewhere in Chicago:

The 23-year-old junior community organizer was nodding off and spilled the nasty bong water all over Bill Ayres' first edition copy of Das Kapital.

"Three mishaps are unusual," said Michael L. Barr, a former Air Force pilot with 137 combat missions in Vietnam and an internationally known aviation safety expert who teaches in USC's Aviation Safety and Security Program. "After the third accident, you would say: Is there a trend here in terms of his flying skills and his judgment?"

What was the state of jet-era combat training and operations in the 1960s?

Was that reasonable back then because it was a new emerging science, or was jet combat already a mature science?

[Da Coyote]

Hey LA Times hack- nice try. As an old USAF jet instructor and test-pilot instructor, McCain’s record is - honestly typical. We military types are hard on our folks. We demand and expect perfection.

That’s probably why I never taught any lieutenants that were journalism majors. Most just don’t have the cojones or coordination. You are in that group.

McCain as a figher pilot:


Obama trying to ride a bike:

Any questions as to manhood and professional accomplishments?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

My hero was Big Frank Valesh of the 100th bombgroup in WW2.He lost 7 b-17s and continued till he finished his tour.Yes,its true he wrecked one on take off one night from his field with a couple of redcross girls on board.Still a hellofa man in my book.So McCain washed out some birds.Big harry deal.He is still the luckiest man in the Navy surviving the fire on the carrier.Just watch the video.It would seem he used up most of his luck before his trips north.You cant take anything away from him on that.And I still have issues with McCain on certain current events.

The liberal news media marches on, oblivious to all outside opinions.

"a pilot who early in his career was cocky, occasionally cavalier and prone to testing limits."

I never met a Navy Type or Airforce type who could strap on a jet fighter aircraft who had any other type of attitude.

Little girls don't fly fighters for a reason.
