UPDATE: Here is a new version of the video without the weird video artifacts that are in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KjsEs46C70
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 to his healthcare plan to 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.
Dr. Phillip Butler knew McCain as a fellow POW. Watch and listen!
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. Butler has said, McCain does not have the temperament to have his finger near the red button. Get this video to everyone you know—friends, family members, coworkers, and especially those who don't share your political views. The video is designed to reach them. Get it on your social networking sites like Digg. And get it to every blog, newspaper, and TV station that has ever overplayed McCain's POW story. It is time to fight back with truth!
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?

Majority of McCain's tallied votes were from evangelicals. You actually think you have some kind of a good point there you little bigot ?

Bahahah, common sense?! Obama ran his campaign off of seduction. You people who fail to realize Obama's lies must have mental issues or just watch the TV too much. Sarah Palin was more qualified than Obama. She didn't bring down McCain's campaign, the media did. Like Obama is any better? McCain was pretty modest with being a POW, whoever this guy is, did you run for president? Any POW shows a sign of integrity, you've never seen Obama's temper cause the media won't show it, also.
Pull your head out of your ass. Paulin was a scared little bitch who would not even grant interviews. She's a moron and a religeous nut. If you cant see that and cant see that it showed a great error in judgement on McCain's part than you ae off in lala land. I admire McCain very much and don;t think this guy's arguments makesence 80% of the time. But McCain did sell out by pandering to the GoP insgtead of staying true to himself.

It's a typo. Palin. The hicktown mayor who became gov of Alaska and ruled it like she was stalin. Look up Joel's Army, the librarian, state trooper, etc. Chick is a christian jihadist. U think Hilary is a bitch. P is the grandmaster. Real wack job. McCain hired the same team, of SoB's that screwed him out of the nomination in 2000 against Bush. True geniouses they recommended he bring the radical wack job evangelical right in to support him by getting a nut like Palin on his ticket. great job!!

Let's face the facts Obama won to the majority of people with good common sense. His campaign was planned carefully and that shows intregity and how he will run this country. Mccains campaign was sloppy, hateful and disorganized and had a VP clearly not qualified. If you anti Obama people can't see that then you have serious mental programming that you can't break free of. If Mccain had won this election the world would go into kaos and we would be at war with the everyone.

VP clearly not qualified? What are you smokin? She's more qualified that Obama! She may not know whether Africa is a continent or not but she knows there are only 50 states!
