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.

This is a charge against leadership, ask U.S. Justice Jackson chief at Nuremburg.

Every time he goes and does this crap I send Obama more money.

He's even caused me to go down to Obama's office here and make calls, wave signs to GOTV early. We'll have 300 walking streets tomorrow.

Saw Jill Biden at the NSB Women's Club this afternoon. I'm so proud of our candidates and their families!!!

VOTE EARLY !!!

Boy, John McCain has become so deplorable I doubt his reputation will ever bounce back to the status it had before. How sad to want something so badly you ruin your "brand" in the process.
I will never think of John McCain as a fair and/or decent man again. He is in the Lee Atwater, Carl Rove category of dirty politicians now.

McCain has lost his honor, he has become and envious,dangerous wicked Old man, to dangerous to serve this country in any capacity.

One cannot lose what one never had. No honorable man, no real hero, could ever stoop to the tactics he has, nor approved their use by others. This man deserves to be reviled, not respected.

Did you hear? Obama pals around with Martians!

[fcsakes]

Has anyone told mcsame that he's losing this race and that his lies, slander, and filth are helping him lose? Which dementia medication is he on, does anyone know? They lose their effectiveness after awhile.

At least we won't have to listen to that insipid, "my friends" much longer.

Just more trash form Mc loser he should have been honest with the people

[GoBarbara]

Why is no one stating that Obama would never be allowed to run for Senator and President if he did not have a clean background check vetted by the FBI and the powers that be. Not to mention admission to Harvard Law!

George W. Bush is actually guilty of war crimes. How bout them apples?

[hortonhearsawho]

It is REALLY PATHETIC to see McCain throwing out FALSE allegations, (He KNOWS they are False), just to win an election.

Sen. McCain , you are not an honorable man, Sir, your just a politician who will say anything and do anything to win an election. At this rate, even if you manage to win, you may have to spend your first term to undo ALL the DAMAGE you and your camp have done to this counrty.

For this country's sake please heed the words of Rep. Lewis...
