HOLY COW!!! That is a devastating ad! Let's see what McLame has to say about this piece...:-)

GROUND ZERO
McCain will condemn it. He already looks foolish in the wake of McCain-Feingold which has now lead to the birth of these 527's.
Your absolutely right...
I remember reading that McCain loathed Kerry, primarily because his anti-war efforts were used by the Viet Cong captors to taunt the American POWs.
I wonder if McCain is nuts enough to deny these former POWs their right to "express" their anger in these ads, or if he'll offer them an opportunity to "discuss their issues" with Kerry, as he did?
This should go down in the annals of politics as one of the most effective, devastating ads ever. It made me tear up to even *think* of Kerry as Commander-in-Chief.

Major Garrett reported this morning that one of the POWs in this very ad was a visible McCain supporter back during 2000.
An important facet for a couple reasons: First it destroys the "this is the same group that went against McCain during 2000".
Second, McCain can hardly condemn the man as a liar.
I'm sorry, I was in the other room during most of the report and did not note which POW in the ad Garrett was referring to, but keep an eye and ear out for that.
You're not the only one wondering that...we're all waiting in the wings with McCain's own statment about how POWs were taunted with the things people like Kerry were saying.
