John McCain and the lesser Dems' smear campaign
Ben's comment that McCain struck him as a "genuine" guy inspired me to write this post.
Did anyone else feel uneasy when they listened to Air America or read some of the liberal blogs during the '08 campaign?
A few pundits and hosts tried to smear McCain's war record in the same nonsensical manner in which the cavemen attempted to smear Kerry's record.
I remember that Sam Seder was one of the worst smearers, which is probably partly why his radio career is deader than Bob Hope.
He said things like McCain received preferential treatment because he was an admiral's son. Some of the analysis was actually true-- he was an admiral's son and tiny concessions were made-- but he made it seem as if he was sipping strawberry dacaries while wearing a fez hat and sitting on a luxurious couch. I wasn't a McCain fan, but it pissed me off. The man pissed away 5 years of his life in hell. This was the same Sam Seder who ran a "fight ing Dems" segment that showcased Democrats who were running for Congress simply because they served in wars-- a segment that was an utter failure, of course. I think only two or three of the people who appeared on the show actually had successful runs.
There were so many other things that liberals could have attacked, but a few of them seemed intent on lying about his "hero" status.
