The Real McCain

I received this message from the son of a very dear friend of mine who has been doing everything they can to find out the truth and help others find the truth regarding McCain. They are good people who love their country and like me and so many of us, are trying desperately to uncover the lies the McCain campaign just keeps rolling out.

The Real McCain 2 reached an astonishing 4 million views last week, just as the McCain campaign was trotting out lie after lie at the Republican National Convention. Coincidence? We don't think so. To us, this unprecedented number suggests that the public is desperately seeking the truth about John McCain -- a truth the corporate press still isn't providing. We're hearing reports of a lot of hand-wringing from people who are scared and don't know what to do.

So we came up with a way to put that nervous energy to good use! Join the McCain Truth Squad and a couple of times a week we will send you McCain videos for you to forward on with a personal note to your friends, colleagues and family members. Join the McCain Truth Squad: http://www.blogger.com/

To get you started, below are five videos that present the Real McCain: an elitist out of touch with hard-working Americans; a double talker who supports a costly war in Iraq but won't support our veterans. Forward this email on. This is the McCain everyone should know.

1. The Real McCain 2: Watch as McCain's YouTube problem became his nightmare in the video that received over 4 million views. http://www.blogger.com/

2. Less Jobs. More Wars: What is this 'Iraq war' charge on my bill? http://www.blogger.com/

3. John McCain vs. John McCain: Tell McCain to get off the Double Talk Express. http://www.blogger.com/

4. McCain's Spiritual Guide: The video that caused McCain to renounce Rev. Rod Parsley's bigoted endorsement. http://www.blogger.com/

5. Why Won't McCain Sign the GI Bill? Presenting the most blatant hypocrisy of the McCain campaign. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK_9sI7hzAc

Imagine how differently people would regard McCain if they saw all five of these videos and learned the truth. That's why we want you to forward this e-mail to everyone and anyone with a personal note at the top from you. Why send these videos individually when you can send them all at once? Also, get them on all the blogs and traditional news sites you can. Make sure you're doing everything you can to educate the public about the Real McCain.

Yours,
Robert Greenwald and the Brave New team

The McCain-Palin campaign has released a new TV ad that distorts quotes from the Obama campaign. It takes words out of context to make it sound as though the Democratic ticket is belittling Palin:

The ad says "they said she was doing 'what she was told.' " But the Obama adviser who's being quoted didn't accuse Palin of meekly following orders. What he actually said is that she made a false claim about Obama's legislative record and added, "maybe that's what she was told."

It says "they lashed out at Sarah Palin; dismissed her as 'good looking,' " But "they" didn't lash out at all. Obama – who is the one pictured – didn't say anything like that. The only one the McCain campaign quotes is Obama's running mate, Biden, and he actually offered the remark as a compliment. Biden said the "obvious" difference between Palin and himself is "she's good looking."

The ad says Obama was "disrespectful" when he accused Palin of "lying" about her record. But the truth is Palin's claim to have "said no" to the "bridge to nowhere" is indeed a dubious one, as we and many have pointed out.

There are a least 2 McCains, one a middle of the road senator when he was in the senate and the hard right war president canidate.
The question to be answered which one would serve if he is elected/

Hi Sylvia, I will read these and pass them on. Hope you have a good weekend. I have my grandson so may not be online much this weekend.

I am very depressed at how many people believe in McCain/Palin -- as if truth were an act of faith instead of one of critical thinking. The country has been polarized for so long, perhaps it is time for us to seriously consider splitting into red-and-blue sectors, as Indian/Pakistan did to separate Hindus and Muslims. Oh well, that plan didn't completely avoid religious antagonism either, did it? Sight.
