McCain breaks with tradition. Will the M$M report it?

[hfojvt]

He's on C-span now attacking Obama - during the Democratic convention. Doing that is apparently a huge breach of tradition and shows a mean streak and a lack of class.

Well, at least it did in 2004 when John Kerry did it and the media was just shocked. Shocked and disgusted.

"Breaking with tradition, Senator John Kerry plans to campaign for at least one day during the Republican National Convention, venturing to Nashville to speak at the American Legion's national convention."

"Breaking with the tradition - and with his own restraint on the war service issue - Mr Kerry lashed out at Mr Bush and Vice- President Dick Cheney for their attacks on his military qualifications, having avoided going to Vietnam themselves.

Banishing all doubt that this will be an uncommonly nasty campaign, the Massachusetts senator, five times decorated in Vietnam, told supporters that he would not have "my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have, and who misled America into Iraq"."

either CNN or MSNBC. They reported that on Sunday. I don't know if they're saying much about it today though.

9. Parrot Of W? Policies Of Wealth? Punisher of Work?

Certainly the Liberal Media would not let him exploit the fact that he was captured? Makes me wonder what Republicans thought of another Prisoner of War - Kurt Vonnegut. I bet he could do no wrong in their eyes either.

10. Piece of work. n/t
