John McCain lies about his vets voting record

dailykos.com — At his townhall meeting in Rochester, MI today, John McCain lied about his veteran's voting record saying, "I received the highest award from literally every veterans organization in America." The truth is, the recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades. Check the record for yourself.

    The recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades:

    — Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)

    – Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)

    – In a list of "Key Votes," Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain "Voted Against Us" 15 times and "Voted For Us" only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.)
    • neognostic, on 07/08/2008, -2/+24Thanks @marabout40, I was about to dig the same info out that you posted. Pretty damning. He also voted against the GI reform bill, that would have given the current armed forces the same benefits he enjoyed when he was in the service, then claimed to have helped work hard on it.

        So Obama is responsible for any corporation in his district?Did he own these buildings or was he just elected in the same district?
      • n00ptic, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1This is crap. While the situation with these apartments was sad, it's absurd to try and pin it on Obama in anyway. Problems like this are the city's jurisdiction and the State would almost certainly be unaware and uninvolved. It falls on the ward alderman and, failing that, would go up the chain to city hall. Trying to spin at as anything else is just a lie. Of course, you already know that, since your link points to a right-wing smear blog that poses as a progressive site. Real classy there.

    • VicHislop, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10At the end of the first video, I couldn't believe what a sarcastic prick he was being to the questioner. Seriously, can he not handle something as simple as being confronted with a question about clarification on his voting record?
      • MJG2007, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10McCain is one of those people who cannot handle criticism even when it's deserved (in that respect the refrain of McSame is self-evident).

        I wouldn't be surprised to find out they have to put him on sedatives to keep him from losing his temper every time someone questions him. It would certainly explain why he sounds like Grampa Simpson and why he seems to ramble on and on and sounds like he just got up out of bed. Even when he gives a prepared speech it is about as exciting as watching mold grow on cheese.
  • SoyJames, on 07/08/2008, -5/+34Start an email campaign and email this to all your friends and relatives. Spell it out for them. McCain's audience isn't going to surf over to DailyKOS to find out about his lies and deceit.

    • MorganMghee, on 07/09/2008, -3/+12Hard to get past the video though. I actually thought it was a spoof at first, a plug for Mccain, he was doing pretty good there for a while. But there whoomp there it is, and the flood of disparate contradictory facts...
  • Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -4/+24I just like how Republicans are so pompous that don't even care about when they are caught in lies. They've got this air of 'so what are you gonna do about it?'

    Wishful thinking here, medias are doing a good job of limiting McCain's mistakes. Only the internet is free from their grubby paws.
  • Stormwern, on 07/09/2008, -4/+10Maybe he got the awards 40 years ago. He should have run back then, hard to run on "I used to be respected".
  • BizGirl1, on 07/09/2008, -5/+11Okay people. Let's be nice to the crypt keeper. A little dementia was bound to set in sooner or later. In Bush's case it was sooner.

      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -3/+2You can marvel at how many of us there are when President McCain is sworn in next January.
      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1RRJackson, perhaps you haven't been looking at the polls: your guy is losing, and it's only going to get worse before November. Your Limbaugh-inspired shenanigans failed, loser.

      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Actually, I'll be there in November with a nice big Crow Pie.

        There's no way a flip-flopping loose cannon like McCain can win - even with the Democrats still reeling from a bitter internal fight we still can't manage to rise above Obama in the polls.

        You made your choice. It was the wrong one. Now you'll have to live with it.
      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1I wonder if you'll cry when Diebold publishes the election returns.
      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1You mean the ones that will show Obama winning over by a landslide?

        Here, have a look at this and weep:

      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Yeah, I remember the polls showing Bush losing in 2000 and 2004, too. It's gonna be hilarious when McCain gives his acceptance speech.
      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Actually, I remember the polls as well, and Bush was in a better position than McCain is now - and Bush actually had folksy charm, while McCain looks like the crypt keeper.

        I'll tell you what will be hilarious: McCain reading his concession speech congratulating Obama.
      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Ah, the fantasy world you libs live in. Even if he actually won the election and even if that wasn't "adjusted" by suppressing the inner-city vote and "accidentally" mis-counting the vote...he'd still be shot before January. There's not a chance in hell of him ever being sworn in.
      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Right, and you were also certain Hillary would win the nomination. You know what that tells me? You don't know ***** about politics.

        At least you're no longer posing as a democrat.
      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1When my party nominated someone from Jakarta as their candidate I asked the DNC to take me off their mailing list. I'll never vote for one of their candidates again.
      • archiesteel, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Wow, racist AND misinformed. Keep it up - the more you make desperate claims about Obama losing, the more you convince me that he's actually going to win.

        Oh, and I don't believe you were ever a democrat. Perhaps back in the days when Byrd was a member of the KKK, but not in modern history.
      • RRJackson, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1You know Obama was raised in Jakarta. The fact that you're embarrassed by it speaks volumes. And I was passing out buttons for the Clinton campaign in '92 while you were still watching Voltron and gnawing on a Moon Pie:

        It's a shame you kids have to demonize anyone who disagrees with you, but you've been indoctrinated into this kind of polarized format since you were tiny. If there aren't two distinct sides to an issue you have to create them.
      • archiesteel, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1I know he grew up in Jakarta, but to bring it up as if it was a reason not to vote for him *is* racist, whether you admit it or not.

        Oh, and I'm a bit older than you seem to think (I might even be older than you). It still doesn't change the fact that you were wrong about Obama losing the nomination, just like you're wrong about him losing the GE. As far as me being indoctrinated goes, ***** you. No one told me how to think, I learned to develop my critical thinking by reading Kant, Voltaire, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and other philosophers. I've studied the political histories of the US, France, Germany, Russia and (to a lesser degree) China. I've listened to both Friedman and Chomsky. So, again, ***** you and the high horse you rode in on.

        I haven't demonized you, you've demonized yourself with your racist remark and your irrational support of John McCain.
      • RRJackson, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1You need to learn the difference between 'racism' and 'nationalism' before you make youself look silly again.

    He's made a career out of convincing people he is something he really isn't. He isn't a "trailblazer" and his campaign should be called the "Double Talk Express".

    Plus, he seems to be unable the grasp the world he inhabits in a way that makes me wonder if he hasn't gone a bit senile.
  • blugill, on 07/09/2008, -14/+3What are you liberals complaining about?!?!?!
    McCain is probably 60% liberal!!!! He is one of you!!!!
    I'm sick of the guy but he isn't a Marxist like Obama is.....sigh.....honestly McCain is the lesser of two evils here.
    • isparadiselost, on 07/09/2008, -4/+7Get your head out of your ass and get off the liberals vs. conservative *****. The lesser of two evils is still evil. Ever heard of the tactic of divide and conquer? Do a little research and see how you're being played.

      So, do you vote for Satan or his next in line? Either way, you end up with the same result.

      There is no doubt that the activities to dumb down our population have succeeded. I read comments such as yours and cringe.
    • DrThunder, on 07/09/2008, -3/+6"Marxist like Obama" ?

      Obama is a very middle of the road Democrat not this leftist socialist Fox News tries to depict him as.

      It is funny how today Obama is the most Liberal member of the senate according to the right and four years ago it was Kerry. Weird how that works.
      • blugill, on 07/09/2008, -8/+0Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth. President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change." A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change. Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists.

        If the people he surrounds himself with are any indication of his core beliefs, a higher capital gains tax to punish the rich, even if it diminishes actual tax revenue, may be only the beginning. Obama's Official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint, is certainly a believer in class warfare.

        The capitalist ruling class of the United States exercises a virtual dictatorship not only over American society, but also over the entire world. This capitalist class rule is the basic cause of the poverty, wars and the degradation of the natural environment.

        After being expelled from Socialist Action in 1999, we formed Socialist Workers Organization in an attempt to carry on the project of building a nucleus of a revolutionary party true to the historic teachings and program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky.

        Socialist Viewpoint (info@socialistviewpoint.org


        The product of a Harvard education, Sam is an admirer of anti-American academic Noam Chomsky, a hypocrite and fraud masquerading as a political philosopher. Mr. Chomsky, perhaps admired by Obama as by his official blogger, is fond of visiting dictators and terrorists and giving speeches blaming all the worlds' ills on America. All while accepting money from military conteacts at MIT. Chomsky was an ardent supporter of Pol Pot, and to this day denies a holocaust occurred in Cambodia (1.67 million died). He is unrepentant about the horrors his vile ideology encouraged and supports Hamas and Hezbollah with the same willful blindness today.

        In an article in the Harvard Crimson, Sam writes of his hero:

        For me, hearing Chomsky speak for the first time was a life-changing experience. His ability to take preconceptions and destroy them-to completely remodel one's understanding of reality with cold, hard facts-blew me away. When I left what was then the ARCO Forum last fall, I felt as though I had been through the Matrix and back. Chomsky really has this effect because he bombards you with evidence and logic, not empty rhetoric. It is nearly impossible to hear him or read him-once you've actually checked his facts yourself (he even cites page numbers in public addresses)-and deny what he's saying.


        For anyone who has actually endured one of Chomsky's muddled rants or tried to verify the claims in his books, young Sam's praise is comical; and a clear indication he has never actually read one. You find very quickly Chomsky is not overly concerned with "facts," as he fabricates them with abandon. He cites page numbers, to his own books, which recycle themselves with astonishing success. Hardly an example of a towering intellect, his tired canards are sufficient to impress the worshipful Sam Graham-Felsen, and endear himself to the same leftist academics that so easily embraced dictators such Ho Chi Min and Pol Pot, idolize Chavez and Castro and legitimized terrorists like Yasser Arafat. Chomsky is the master of post-modern moral relativism, quick to excuse atrocity with obfuscation.

        On the day after 9-11, Chomsky wrote:

        "The terrorist attacks were major atrocities. In scale they may not reach the level of many others, for example, Clinton's bombing of the Sudan with no credible pretext, destroying half its pharmaceutical supplies and killing unknown numbers of people."


        It may be simple self-aggrandizing hypocrisy that inspires Mr. Chomsky's comments, though I suspect, more likely he mistakes the accolades of twenty year old activists as confirmation of his own genius. He plays what works with the crowd. Here are some other nihilistic gems gleaned from his pedantic and incomprehensible writing:

        "If the Nuremberg laws were applied today, then every Post-War American president would have to be hanged."

        "Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state."

        "Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media."

        "The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control - "indoctrination," we might say - exercised through the mass media. "

        "Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it."

        "I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist, then it would choose the American system."


        Sam Graham-Felsen, hired to run Obama's blog, writes about Noam Chomsky in a Marxist publications that openly calls for revolution against the American government. This is a Presidential candidate's choice to run the on-line portion of his campaign. That speaks volumes of his character and worldview. Contradicting what he says in public, Obama is surrounding himself with poeple who never seem to learn that their absurd ideologies end in misery and ruin.

        Sam is young and has much to learn, so we can forgive his silly hagiographies, the ones about Chomsky and the ones about Obama. His hero worship is eager and emotional and completely without substance, much as Obama's campaign promises are without substance. Obama is a community organizer in the Saul Alinsky mold, and knows where to get people like Sam who have energy and drive. His staff is nothing if not energetic. He even cut his activist teeth in Chicago, the stomping grounds of Alinsky and so many others in the "progressive" community. One wonders why the windy city still has a murder rate higher than Baghdad, after so many years of enlightened activism.

        The adults in the Obama campaign expect us to believe that a campaign staff filled with Marxists and radicals does not reflect the candidate. We are supposed to believe that ideologues who distain America and Americans can improve the system that has brought humanity more prosperity and well-being than any nation before it. Speaking out of both sides of their mouths, they tell us we are great, and then insist we must change because we are responsible for all the bad things that happen in the world. That alone should anger the electorate enough to defeat them. The change Obama will bring will not be the change America needs or expects. It will be the change of naive adolescents, which think Noam Chomsky wise.

        We continue to have an optimistic outlook about the revolutionary potential of the world working class to rule society in its own name-socialism. We are optimistic that the working class, united across borders, and acting in its own class interests can solve the devastating crises of war, poverty, oppression, and environmental destruction that capitalism is responsible for.

      • interbeing, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Wow, you are a ***** moron, you started out ranting about Obama and it somehow turned into a hit piece on Noam Chomsky. It's true that you might not agree with what Chomsky has to say, but I can guarantee you that his work is far more fact based and cited than whatever right wing hate blog you happen to have copy and pasted your "observations" from.
    • jmk4422, on 07/09/2008, -2/+7Wow. I read a lot of comments here on Digg. I rarely reply to any or offer my own. But what you just said? How can I not take this opportunity to ask this obvious question:

      What was the number of the short-bus you rode to school everyday through 12th grade? Just curious.
    • stinkymonkey, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Blugill, how is Obama Marxist? I guarantee you will not reply.
      • blugill, on 07/12/2008, -0/+0Well alright lets talk about the Obama plan to socialize health care. I don't want the government involved in my health care decisions. I don't want rationed health care. I don't want to pay for your health care if you decide to make bad health choices.

        From Obama's site Obama's Plan to Cover Uninsured Americans: Obama will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress.

        WHO will subsidize this? YOU WILL WITH HIGHER TAXES! YOU ARE GUARANTEED COVERAGE!
        What will happen if you are covered no matter what? You will have NO RESPONSIBILITY to make yourself healthy. You can get up, smoke as much you want and have no consequences to your actions.

        Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire which will mean a TAX INCREASE on everyone, yes including YOU! More than likely this will help pay for the subsidized health insurance plan but there won't be enough money because those who can afford to will take their money out of the USA until Obama is gone and his policies are reversed.
        Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax from its current 15% to around 28%

        What is a capital gain? Any return on an investment. If you happen to have a retirement program it will be taxed at a higher rate than it is now meaning it will be less valuable. What the side effect will be is less investment into the markets and ultimately a higher unemployment rate since the cost of starting a business will be higher as the investment is higher and the risk is greater. The returns will be less valuable.

        Obama wants to take from those who have and give to those who have nothing. It is called the redistrubution of income....a marxist idea. Tax more and give no incentive to those who don't have to work harder and earn more. IT is a regressive system to get punished for being successful. What incentive would you have to become successful then? Do you really want to live in your mother's basement all your life there stinkymonkey? Smoke pot all day and work at a quick shop for enough money to buy a new bong?!?!

  • jmk4422, on 07/09/2008, -3/+16McCain's strategy during tough questioning is simple: Ramble. Just keep rambling on and pretend you're answering the question. Don't actually answer it, mind you, just act like you are and waste as much time as possible. Nine times out of ten the questioner will give up. For that rare one of ten person who's resilient enough to persist he will get "testy" (i.e. "pissed") like he does here.

    Let's hold him to account though, people. If you ever get a chance to see him in a town hall, grow a pair and persist in your questioning. He hates it.
  • DrThunder, on 07/09/2008, -3/+15McCain doesn't what to give benefits to soldiers so they won't leave the military. That is cold.
  • atarijedi, on 07/09/2008, -7/+0Don't blame McCain, he's just regurgitating what he's told.
    • Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3The president shouldn't regurgitate.
  • Yimyack, on 07/09/2008, -6/+1Did McCain fight in WWI or II?
  • NelsonR, on 07/09/2008, -2/+10Now don't blame McCain. He thinks all vets are living in a the lap of luxury after marrying a rich multimillion dollar heiress. John we all didn't go down that path. Maverick my behind, he's Bush plain and simple, oh and elitist.
  • KeillRandor, on 07/09/2008, -2/+3You know what I'm thinking? You guys (I'm British) need something like the end of The Running Man... ;)
  • bshock, on 07/09/2008, -1/+4I don't really think you can say that McCain "lied." To lie, you actually have to understand what you're saying.
  • caponumen, on 07/09/2008, -2/+3This is yet another area, where demos and republicans have both failed miserably and consistently.
  • CoolHandLuke70, on 07/09/2008, -1/+3McDouche!
  • macmangb, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1I have doubts about McFraud's 'military' history and POW experiences. I hope that he gets canned and gets replaced by the only person who hasn't given up the good fight, Ron Paul!
  • radiantstorm, on 07/09/2008, -0/+3The old goat will say A N Y T H I N G to win votes.
  • nailedtonothing, on 07/09/2008, -0/+4As a veteran of the Iraq War, I give John McCain an F. How does a man who claims to support veterans turn down increases in veterans benefits at every corner only to protect the profiteering of the private contracting firms and the highest earning businesses in America?
  • seansich, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Shhhh! We're only allowed to talk about his military record if it involves his service during the Vietnam War (which no one here is questioning). He doesn't like talking about it. . . . . . . unless of course you count almost every commercial he has directly endorsed.
  • banderwocky, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Hey, leave this old goat alone! He's confused, and it's not nice to make fun of old confused people!
  • dcouchotvore, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0Is it really lying if you have no f***'n clue what the truth is?
  • karmicwizard, on 07/10/2008, -0/+2McCain is a DISGRACE to all Vets! He actually stood there and looked his fellow Vet in the eye and lied about his Voting record. To the man's face. McCain does not even deserve his current Senate position, let alone the presidency of the U.S.
