New McCain Robocall: Obama "Accused US Troops Of War Crimes"

The McCain campaign has authorized another vicious robocall that claims Barack Obama and Democrats would cut off funds for the military, have accused American troops of "war crimes," and pose a threat to national security.

Two readers from Wisconsin reported receiving the call, narrated by Orson Swindle, a fellow POW and McCain friend, mid-afternoon Friday.

"Democrats attempt to cut off crucial troop funding," goes the script. "They accuse our troops of war crimes. And Senator Biden predicts Senator Obama will be tested. A weak president will indeed be tested. Obama and Democrat's politics endanger American lives. They are not qualified to lead our military and our country. When you vote, vote for the team that puts leadership, character and country first. John McCain."

A recording was posted on the website StopPoliticalCalls.org.

The text of the robocall includes some positive words about McCain himself, including note that the Senator was endorsed by over 300 military generals and officers. But it is hard to argue that this message -- that Obama and the Democratic Congress would be a danger to the country -- is not the most incendiary yet to come from the Republican ticket.

As always, if you have any insight or information (or, preferable, recordings) let us know.

McCain is pathetic and deserves to go down as suffering the worst loss in
GOP Presidential Election History. The entire GOP deserve the same.

VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN!

McCain must think ALL Americans are out of touch with reality as he is ...

I mean seriously, who else has the nerve to say, "Forget that I have no new policies. Forget that I plan to continue ALL the failed policies of the past 8 years and even double down on some. Forget that my judgment and temperament are not befitting of a President. Just vote for me because I can lift a pen to stop the Democrats from passing Bills ..."

Now if that is not the dumbest argument for President designed for the dumbest members of the American Population, I do NOT know what is ...

Vote the Bums OUT ! ...

McCain is a war criminal, so he would know who is or isn't a war criminal.

Oh yeah, this guy is a uniter. He'll be lucky if anyone in the Senate wants to associate with him anymore. I wouldn't want him watching my back.

Swiftboat Swindell...Shame on John!

I think McCain is doing more damage than good. The first thought that came to mind when I heard " not qualified to lead our military and our country." is Sarah Palin as the leader of our military and country. I think it reminds people that Gov. Palin may be our leader. Experience is not the ssue. Knowledge, the ability to think on your feet, and think through complex issues is, and Gov Palin has not demonstrated she has those abilities.

Admiral John McCain's final robocall:
"Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had Barack Obama! The mainstream media laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... "

I bet you all have NO IDEA about what Michelle said to API???

THE TAPES OF THIS INTERVIEW WILL BE RELEASED IN A FEW DAYS!!!!!!!!!

[neocon666]

This is of course, a joke, as no such organization as the African Press actually exists.

[IndyReader]

And if it's written down and we can read what she said, why do we need a tape?

[Bronx56]

No letters carved in anyone anywhere????? How boring........

[EvoMan]

We've been waiting and waiting all campaign season for this video that never appears. Even Michelle Malkin thinks it's BS.

[IndyReader]

If you have it written down what she says why do we need a tape?

[Bettysdad]

For 100 bucks I'll make up something you'll find even worse about Obama.

It involves lemon meringue pie, vespa scooters, and wolverines.

Interesting story in tomorrow's London Times. The two directors of the Vietnamese prison where John McCain was a POW claim that McCain was never tortured, and that he is only claiming he did to get votes. One director said that McCain told him that after leaving the prison he was going to become a politican.

I'm sure they just used harsh language after the Thursday Polo matches.......

[KansasWrangler]

I am sure that the worst is yet to come. Next weekend will be surely see the worst phone campaign in the history of politics. McCain has no honor.

Um, under orders from people like Bush and Rumsfeld, US troops did commit war crimes. Abu Ghraib ring a bell?

Palin Wraps Up Two Hours of Testimony in Alaska Ethics Probe

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin wrapped up about two hours of testimony conducted at a St. Louis hotel Friday by an independent investigator hired by the state"s personnel board to probe Palin"s firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.

Monegan claims he was ousted for because he refused to fire Palin"s ex brother-in-law, a state trooper who was involved in a bitter divorce and child custody dispute with Palin"s sister.
