Senator John McCain’s POW Experience-And His Temperament Per Another Fellow POW
Do We Really Know John McCain…
These words come from the film maker Robert Greenwald and Phillip Butler, the POW that knew Senator John McCain, was in the academy with John McCain and was a POW with McCain as well… Phillip Butler lived across the hall, at the academy from the Senator. He was also one of the 600 other POWs that were in the same camp as John McCain. Watch the video, as I always say, judge for your self. I am only the messenger on this one. View John McCain Video…
Senator John McCain has been exploiting his prisoner of war experience every chance he gets. He has used this story to justify everything from not knowing how many homes he has, his health care plan, his marital infidelities, to his taste in music. The McCain campaign is even using his POW story in paid ads. But now a veteran who was a prisoner with McCain in Vietnam is explaining loud and clear that being a POW, does not qualify McCain to lead our country…
We are sure this video will draw an onslaught of right wing attacks, but we bring it to you because it is our job to continue to convey the truth together and give these issues national attention. As Dr. Phillip Butler has said, McCain does not have the temperament to have his finger near the red button.
The mainstream press has already begun to call out McCain for overusing his POW story. And it’s cut across all political persuasions.
* “Whether he’s deflecting criticism over his health-care plan or mocking a tribute to the Woodstock music festival, Senator John McCain has a trump card: the Hanoi Hilton.
—Edwin Chen, Bloomberg
* “Noun, Verb, POW”
— Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic Monthly
* “The McCain campaign’s constant invocation of the candidate’s POW past is weird bordering on irrational…”
— Ana Marie Cox, TIME
* “I think they are going to it way too many times.”
— Howard Fineman, Newsweek
Remember how Joe Biden got the press to refer to Rudy Giuliani as “A noun, a verb, and 9/11″? Well, let’s actually take Andrew Sullivan’s lead here and get the media to boil McCain down to a similar phrase:
“A noun, a verb, and POW.” Considering how often the McCain campaign invokes his POW story, isn’t that what they’re already doing?
