[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 410871, member: 17969"] Ok I see this thread is for slinging mud, so Ill chip in. McCain was no war hero, getting shot down and heing held captive hardly deserves the congressional medal of honor. What about when he collaborated with the enemy and gave up his comrades? At the 2008 convention, McCain slipped this in "i was beaten, tortured everyday until i "broke". Hmmm, Broke? You mean talked. [SIZE=7]Republicans Allege McCain Covered Up His Collaboration with the North Vietnamese While a POW[/SIZE] Allegations resurface that McCain made propaganda statements and tried to keep Viet Cong records about him classified. A 1992 video featuring a Republican senator, Republican congressman and top Capitol Hill staffers who worked on Vietnam prisoner of war and missing in action issues say John McCain collaborated with North Vietnamese while a POW, and then covered up that involvement to the detriment of POW/MIA families seeking access to classified Pentagon records about their own family members. The video raises probing questions about the 2008 Republican presidential nominee's war record, especially after McCain made his captivity a major part of his qualifications for the presidency at the Republican National Convention. In 2004, the GOP focused on Democratic nominee John Kerry's war record to criticize his candidacy. To date, the video has been posted on a handful of blogs but has been ignored by the mainstream media. While it features Republican stalwarts on POW/MIA issues, it also suggests that McCain's war records at the Pentagon and in North Vietnam would reveal potentially very controversial details about the GOP's presidential candidate. The nearly eight-minute video is posted on YouTube under "Vietnam Veterans Against McCain." It begins with the title, "1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs," and features ex-Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH), Rep. Robert Dornan (R-CA), senate staffers Tracy Usry, James Lucier, and military family members Lynn O'Shea, of the National Alliance of Families and retired Army Cpl. Bob Dumas, whose brother was a POW lost in the Korean War, and Joseph Douglass, Jr., author of Betrayed, about America's missing POWs. The video has no author credits.
