If You Can't Beat Em' and Can't Join Em'...Insult and Degrade them!

John Aravosis of Americablog has decided that since Barry Obambi doesn't have the service record or experience that McCain does....the clear attack should be to call John McCain a war criminal and incompetent for having been captured by enemy forces and spending several years as a POW during his service in the Vietnam War.

Aravosis writes: "Getting shot down, tortured ...is not command experience". Does anyone else wanna slap this guy?

I believe the American people are well aware of the McCain's service record and many consider him an American hero for enduring and sustaining all that he did. For the Left to come in with these remarks is beyond insulting and ridiculous. This is an insult to every serviceman and woman who has ever been a POW...

I don’t think that much will be gained by the left attacking John McCain for being shot down and captured. If anything it is certain to backfire. Unlike the Kerry where he had a clear history of seeking aggrandizement and overplaying his Vietnam experiences as well as many in his company who questioned his truthfulness. There was also the key thing that he did that McCain has never. Kerry turned on those he served with. He did not simply attack the war, he attacked those like John McCain who were still serving on the ground and imprisoned.

While I’m sure the left does not see this distinction. They have a comprehension problem when it comes to delineating between right and wrong, hero and nero, enemy and friend. If they want to bring front and center their anti-American anti-Military rabid nature in support of Obama then at the end of the day there will be only one choice which is truthfully all that is left for patriotic Americans and that choice is John McCain for President. He is a man who served and suffered and did not toss his honor over a fence to satisfy the whims of the time.

The contrast is stark, the path is clear.
