This is just the beginning of the healing and hope that is coming once we turn the page and all get on the same page. The politics of smear and fear, flat out hate and intolerance are extinct. Welcome to the true new world order.

He is scared, Insecure and unconfident that he won't win and don't anything else. So he slings mud to try to divert the peoples attention away the issues at hand.

"He would go off like a roman candle...easy to anger" ohh so he is hot headed and not trustworthy with our future in these dangerous times... what a shock...
Thanks for posting... I had read about former POWs being critical of McCain but the image is great since so many people don't bother to read.

Nice drop, lulu. I'm glad to see people are finally realizing how powerful their choices are, and using that power accordingly. It's high time that we show our so-called representatives that some lines need not be crossed, no matter what political doctrine you champion.

I have a hard time beleiving it though. Firstly, why doesn't he have volunteers reading his scripts... also when you read the statements they are not the worst that the campaign has put out. So I am a bit suspiscious.

Given the dwindling number of McCain trolls on this site it's obvious who has more nation-wide support, and why McCain is even losing call center workers!
What a blow to the old guard.
Can't pay people to lie! They must think everyone's on the take!
Keep that finger stiff ihatethemail, it's pretty much all you've got to say!

Go Hoosers ! How perfect is it that the people giving Republicans a lesson in human dignity don't make a lot of money.
McCain couldn't buy them to lie for him. Magnificent.

I'm honestly surprised by people actually exercizing their ethics and walking out.
That being said, if you work @ a call center, any reason is a good reason to walk out.

"Worked closely with terrorist... Will enact extreme leftist agenda... Killed Americans."
Are we allowed to lie like that about a college professor and possibly the next president?

actually he did turn himself in but the feds dropped the charges... thats what happens when you don't kill anyone (seeing as there is no statute of limitations on murder)
Ohh and it wasn't terrorism back in those days it was called protesting.. actually most of the country was protesting something... civil rights, anti war... women's rights... the only people not protesting were I guess those who didn't want change...
sound like someone you might know?

Are you kidding? Do you read any history before making posts? You look young in your photo. I expect young people to be more open minded and realistic. Please be more informed than an education from television. Today's "journalists" are nothing more than entertainment commentators. Ayers IS guilty -admittedly, of his crimes! That does NOT make Obama guilty of Ayers' crimes however. It only shows poor judgement on his behalf.
