Huffington: News Orgs Investigate Possibly Fatal McCain '64 Car Crash

[dennis4868]

For the past two months, a major American magazine and an allied news service have been engaged in a legal battle with the United States Navy over records that they believe show that John McCain once was involved in an automobile accident that injured or, perhaps, killed another individual.

Vanity Fair magazine and the National Security News Service claim to have knowledge "developed from first-hand sources" of a car crash that involved then-Lt. McCain at the main gate of a Virginia naval base in 1964, according to legal filings. The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public. And in documents suing the Navy to release pertinent information, lawyers for the NS News Service allege that a cover-up may be at play.

5. Shit. Only the 3rd?

I'm gonna have to post it a couple of times to get it up to speed.

Whether true or not, this whole thing is irrelevant to the current campaign, in that--no matter what--it will turn very few votes one way or the other. Just like the old Bush DUI story.

9. Yep

I wonder why people don't realize how irrelevant this is? Maybe not seasoned veterans like us :D

11. Why don't you post it in 15 minutes or so and I'll post it in a half hour....we can

keep this stupid fucking story at the top of the board for the next three days if we work at it......

We can use misleading headers...like "McCain a MURDERER???" or "****Breaking; drudge says blah de blah de blah...*****'

We could have all KINDS of fun........

8. and doesn't admit to his mistakes

It won't make a real difference since he's already so far behind, but it could make the 97% likelihood of an Obama victory closer to 98%.

13. I agree. This isn't relevant and we don't need it.

Obama's winning by sticking to the issues while McCain keeps getting caught up with stupid distractions like William Ayres...we don't need to play that game and it won't help, IMO. If anything it could create a backlash. It didn't work against Bush in 2000 and it's not going to work now.

3. republicons are totally into cover up & occultism

because they so often have things to hide.

7. Who's digging this up? I hope it wasn't the Obama campaign.

Not that I am saying it's not true or isn't an issue, but we're 6-10 points up and we don't need this. I hope nobody from the campaign was involved with digging this up because it will look petty...a lot of people don't care about something that happened 44 years ago, and it makes us look desperate when we don't need to and could create a backlash. If the media is digging this up that's fine, but I honestly don't think we need it...I don't care about something that happened 20 years before I was born...if Obama is asked about this he should say "no comment" and that the American people care about who's going to fix the economy, not a car crash that happened 44 years ago.

10. Obama hasn't said anything about, and won't.

But, it would be fine if a reporter asked mcCrash and got him on record.

12. The Navy wouldn't cover up for an admiral's son, would they?? nt
