John McCain And Jeanette Jenkins

He probably eats kittens, too. What a douchebag.

Besides his infamously hot temper, there's a whole other can of worms relative to McCain's refusal to impart any action to investigate the whereabouts of POW/MIAs in Vietnam back in the 80s after he'd been elected into Congress:

"While three former Secretaries of Defense under the Nixon Administration, James Schlessinger, Melvin Laird and Elliot Richardson all testified before Sen. McCain's Committee that they believed Americans were alive in captivity after the war and had been abandoned, their testimony was rejected by McCain.

The plain truth [POW/MIA] Family members say is that Sen. John McCain did not in good faith pursue all leads in the search for the missing and unaccounted for POWs after the Vietnam War when he had an opportunity to do so. Moreover, POW/MIA family members point out that McCain used every tactic and ploy he could to bury the issue and close the book on POW/MIAs forever. He acted as judge, jury and executioner. POW/MIA Family members also contend McCain mistreated, abused, and intimidated them, even pushed aside a little old lady in a wheel chair (Jane Gaylord, mother of one POW) shoving her out of his way when she got in his path in the corridors of the Capitol building. He caused others to be brought to tears in his anger, displaying arrogance and insensitivity to their circumstance..."

A lot of "Holy crap" moments in that vid. And John Kerry was involved, too? Why the cover-up? Why hasn't this been more of an issue? What were/are they hiding?

The following statement is an eye-witness account from a woman who watched McCain backhand Jeanette Jenkins and, moments later, nearly strike the 80 year-old mother of an MIA/POW in 1996:

During June 1996 at the National Alliance of Families Annual Conference in Washington, DC, a group of approximately two-dozen people went to the Senate Building hoping to meet with McCain about the Missing Service Personnel Act of 1996. He refused to meet or to even schedule a meeting while the family conference was in session. As we were contemplating our next move, the Senator and a young, attractive female aide came from his office in our direction. Our spokesperson, John Parsels, a former POW of Vietnam, stepped toward McCain, asking if he would talk with us. McCain denied any knowledge of the Act and brushed past Parsels. As he approached the niece of Charles Duke, Jr. (missing civilian, 05-30-70, South Vietnam), she stepped forward to speak and McCain backhanded her, causing her to hit the wall.

As McCain and the aide continued walking, I then saw Jane Duke Gaylor, mother of Charles Duke Jr., who was in her mid-80’s and wheelchair bound, stretch her arms toward McCain saying, “Please talk with us.” “Please talk with us.” McCain raised his left arm ready to strike her, controlled himself, and pushed the wheelchair away from him. McCain and the aide continued down the hall and I saw Carol Hrdlicka (wife of Capt David L. Hrdlicka, USAF, POW, 05-18-65, Laos), John Parsels, and others follow McCain. The remainder of us looked at each other in total shock as to what we witnessed in those few minutes. It was later learned that Jane Duke Gaylor and her niece had gone to the Senate Police to file a complaint–the police refused to help them. John McCain is personally and single handily responsible for gutting the Missing Service Personnel Act of 1996. Why? Why does McCain treat the POW-MIA families in this manner?

Back to that second video up there...I wonder what all the "classified" McCain Vietnamese propaganda videos depict and why he has gone to such great lengths to keep them under wraps. Why would you protect the enemy? Hmmm...need more research.

McCain's new chant is, "Who is Barack Obama?" Forget Barack - who are you, John McCain and, furthermore, what's your game? Ah! Maybe if he's Pres he can destroy all the evidence of whatever it is he's trying so hard to keep hidden? No - that's just silliness.

Right?
