FactCheck.org, the group McCain likes to misquote in his ads attacking Obama, says that McCain violated the "no negative ads on September 11" truce that was supposed to take place yesterday on September 11.
Let's stop pretending that John McCain is an honorable man. He violated the "no negative ads on September 11" truce by airing a negative ad on the day while Obama did not. John McCain has a funny way of showing respect for the 3,000 who died on September 11. He used footage of their deaths as a campaign prop during the convention (no one - NO ONE - has dared do taht in seven years since that horrible day). His vice presidential pick did a glamor interview for ABC on the September 11 to air on September 11. And now we find out that McCain violated the September 11 ad truce.
This sentence from AP says it all:
McCain campaign officials did not respond to repeated requests by The Associated Press for comment.
He's unaccountable to anyone for his actions. And he thinks the media are patsies.
Yes, John McCain was a former POW. But Karl Rove wasn't. And it's Karl Rove's deputies who are now running for president - not John McCain.
PS If Barack Obama had violated the ad ban on September 11, we'd be watching a TV commercial today about how Obama dishonors our 3,000 dead. THAT's taking the gloves off.
