“The Democrats Call McCain's Military Service Opportunistic”
--Redstate.com - Click my post title!
Hat Tip to Patrick Hynes and also the Lads at Redstate about this oily nonsense from Dean The Scream! RED STATE: You can tell the ad hit home by Howard Dean's reaction. Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, calls John McCain an opportunist for using images of his military service:
What a Mah-roon! What a Dope! What a Leader! Dean the Scream!
Get this! The DNC with Daffy Duck Dean at the Helm- Yes, Alice, The Ship of Fools - has issued this statement
“While we honor McCain's military service, the fact is Americans want a real leader who offers real solutions, not a blatant opportunist who doesn't understand the economy and is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years." … Dean is so worried by the contrast of the Republican nominee to be, looking very presidential, while the Democratic presidential wannabees are engaging in nothing senseless negativity, he told CBS News that the superdelegates need to decide whether Hillary or Obama gets the Democratic nomination before July. Dean wants to avoid the appearance that the Democratic nominee was chosen in a back room deal by party insiders even though that is exactly what they will do. And Dean has the nerve to call McCain an "opportunist."
You are a Howl Deano! Almost better than Warner Brothers cartoons - almost! Make sure that boys and girls keep you loaded on Zoloft and that the cinches to the old white burlap jacket are good and snug!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
"Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, calls John McCain an opportunist for using images of his military service"
ReplyDeleteExcept that's not what Dean said.
He did characterize Grandpa Huggy Bear as an "opportunist."
But Dean didn't say anything at all about McCain's military background.

ReplyDeleteNow as to Dean the Dream:
Lookee here"
"The American people have been waiting for a president who understands the challenges they face, not another out of touch Bush Republican who promises four more years of the same failed leadership. John McCain can try to reintroduce himself to the country, but he can't change the fact that he cast aside his principles to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Bush for the last seven years. While we honor McCain's military service, the fact is Americans want a real leader who offers real solutions, not a blatant opportunist who doesn't understand the economy and is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years."

Non-Partisan Fact Check Groups And Members Of The Media Have Called Democrat Attacks False:
Non-Partisan Factcheck.Org Calls DNC Attacks On 100 Years Comment A "Serious Distortion" And "A Rank Falsehood." "The DNC's message portrays McCain as bent on fighting an 'endless' war in Iraq. DNC: We can't afford four more years with a President who fights an endless war in Iraq. ...On the war, McCain scoffed at Bush's call to leave troops in Iraq for 50 years, saying 'Make it a hundred!' That of course is a serious distortion of what McCain actually said to a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire back on Jan. 3. ...There's little doubt that McCain is less eager than either Clinton or Obama to bring troops home without further suppression of insurgent attacks. But it's a rank falsehood for the DNC to accuse McCain of wanting to wage 'endless war' based on his support for a presence in Iraq something like the U.S. role in South Korea."

Non-Partisan Politifact.Com Calls Obama Attacks On 100 Years Comment "False." "Obama twisted McCain's words in the Cleveland debate. He said, 'We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years.' As we explain above, McCain was referring to a peacetime presence, not the war. So we find Obama's statement False." (Politifact.Com Website, http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/388/ , Accessed 3/25/08)

Dean Has Personally Attacked McCain Saying He "Doesn't Seem To Have Any" Integrity:
Dean: "Well, now it looks like John McCain is part of the corruption problem in Washington. He has done things that are legally questionable -- the Keating Five business back in the '90s -- but he doesn't seem to really have an ethical compass. He doesn't seem to have an instinct about what is the right thing to do and what isn't the right thing to do." (Howard Dean Interview With National Journal's Linda Douglass, http://nationaljournal.com/onair/transcripts/080221_dean_howard.htm, 2/21/08)
Dean: "This is a question about John McCain's integrity ..." (MSNBC's "News Live," 2/26/08)
Dean: "But look, John McCain is a flawed candidate. Here's a guy who has a typical situation ethicist. He runs on his integrity, but he doesn't seem to have any." (CNN's "Late Edition," 3/2/08)
Dean: "John McCain has a history of doing what it takes, regardless of what the ethics of this are." (CNN's "Late Edition," 3/2/08)
