Vets For Freedom Ad — Skipped

[TheBelva85]

I hate destructive methods of the american political machine. I'm glad here it's still outlawed to publicize a party by trying to cover the other with shit.

A party hsould win cause it's better, not because the other one is bad.

[fiddolbrfrho]

"vets for freedom" is tied to the bush administration, created for the purpose of spreading propaganda. i can't believe how many idiots will fall for this stuff.

[vetdino]

yeap it's the same guys who in the previous election launched a smearing campaign to present Kerry (A REAL WAR HERO) as a traitor!!!! classical republican tactics!! well, if the voter are stupid enough to buy all that... congratulations ;)

[gambs44]

both of yous are liars. VFF was created by 5 returning veterans to advocate on the behalf of veterans and issues that affect them. It isn't tied to any political party because veterans aren't homogenous in affiliation. All walks of life join the military, well actually i should say most because anti-patriots who aren't selfless enough to serve don't enlist, making the advocate group an independently run organization without party talking points.

[redleg32002000]

I can't believe how ignorant people can be to actually think Obama has any business being a president. I mean seriously, he is a worthless piece of crap, and all he can do is make bulls#$t promises, and he has never actually done anything. WAKE UP IDIOTS. OBAMA IS HOPELESS!!!!

[vetdino]

yes, a university professor, with degress from the best universities in the USA, from a single mother family, who fought his way in politics and with original charisma and vision for the USA and the world is a "worthless piece of crap"... I wonder who are to judge him... let me guess a redneck rascist fundamentalist who owns more than 3 guns ;) and who can't point Europe on a map!!

congratulations

I only have one black friend and no I've never had him over for dinner nor has he had me over although I have given him a ride home from work on several occasions.

I don't know any black women currently but I have slept with several in the past. Does that count?

[hellokitty9191]

Obama/Biden '08

[redleg32002000]

It both sickens and saddens me that such an inexperienced, worthles liberal such as Obama made it this far in the presidential election. Anyone with any common sence and reasoning skills can plainly see that Obama is a fraud.

I'm a Republican, because not everyone can be on welfare.

[AlexSpartan]

All you white trash live on welfare so what are you talking about.

[redleg32002000]

First of all, I said nothing about being white or not.

Second, most people that vote for idiots like Obama do so because they want free handouts and have come to expect people to give them something for nothing.

I'm 26, owned my own house since I was 22, I work full time and go to school full time, and I'm a Veteran. Noone gave me any handouts, and I'm doing just fine. Democrats are great at handing out peoples money to those that are too lazy to do it on their own.

[melasuru]

You sound like a candidate for cousins program. (helpsaveusadotcom)

[ratingnazi]

you're a lier, and I feel bad for your mother

[redleg32002000]

No, I am not a lier, just go ahead, do a little homework, and you will see I am correct. Wake up people! It's so frustrating, it really is.....

[siegristrm]

If you are a veteran, all you've had is handouts. Owning a home at 22 is easy when the govt gives you a loan for dirt cheap (I'm a vet too). Same with starting a business, or going to school for just about free. Hmmm, no handouts there.  You just made the right decision by serving our country.

[gambs44]

Handouts!?!? UMMMM no. That's called COMPENSATION. The loans, tuitions, etc. are what the gov't at the very least owes to a veteran for devoting their entire enlistment period, and sometimes lives to their country. . If your employer told you tomorrow that you'd only make 1000 a month, work 18 hrs almost daily some longer, train like a pro athlete, sleep in the mud, and could be killed or maimed, those handouts wouldn't seem to be so handed out now would they? Don't equate vets w/ the lazies

[siegristrm]

Dude, been there done that... or did you miss the "I'm a vet" too part of it?  And you make a competitive salary when you filter in benefits and leave... not $1000, but avg e-3 makes about 1600$/mo

[pantherhawkrolling]

I have worked hard in my life as well. I have accomplished a lot, I work hard, and I am not much older than you (6 years). I have no expectation or desire for a handout, and I support Barack Obama. In fact, there is an established correlation between education level (which corresponds with material success) and support for Obama. The more you know, the more likely you are to support Obama. So how can we be idiots, if we know more? How can we want a hand out, if we make more?

[ratingnazi]

i feel for your mother

[SomethingAwesome19XX]

i would NEVER believe ANYTHING a mccain ad says about obama, nor would i believe anything an obama ad says about mccain.

[mach1417]

Let's compare McCain vs. Obama's records on veterans benefits:

OBAMA/ BIDEN 08!!!

[stinkymcshit]

Brian Bowers is a fag.

[valofvalhalla06]

sCREW CURIOUS GEORGE.  What a pig. We need a vet who will run this country, no a countrybumpkin!

[uckfobama]

He thumbs his nose at our military people

but he wants to open relations with terrorists.

Osamabama!

[cjhfunk]

Mccain Palin is a disgrace to the entire process.

[jonathan32382]

mccain skipped more votes than anybody in the senate! thats a fact!! check the facts..cnn..la times anywhere...mccain is a mcshit and should die already

[shaine991]

Thanks to the Moronic Ticket of McCain/Palin, OBAMA has Surged ahead in the polls to a 9 point lead even in the swing states.

To see and hear Palin and her grandpa, McCain in action is to RUN as fast as they can to the Democratic Party.

Adios Republicans, Americans are tired of LIES, DISTORTIONS and INCOMPETENCE!!!

[tomanyasses]

wrong the obama is targeting the young college idiots who know nothing just like the cigaretts market the young obama team is bad and will do anything to win.

[skycruiser777]

pick me, pick me...64% to be precise. Let's compare McCain vs. Obama's records on veterans benefits: GI Bill Obama - For it McCain - Against it. In fact not only was he against it, but he actively tried to scuttle it. VA Health Care Funding Obama - Voted to fully fund the VA. McCain - Voted against it. Said it was wasteful. VA Classification Obama - Wants to preserve the current system so that million of vets can get the care we deserve. McCain Wants to restrict VA eligibility

[skycruiser777]

how many votes did McCain skip this year alone?

[framers920]

however the issues on afghanistan did not go through his sub comittee! way to lie people!

[zapponsalvia]

I think we should believe them because they are for freedom and freedom is good.

[kurdatheist]

Obama voted for the GI bill and McCain voted against it.... go figure.... and by the way did you see Vetrans holding signs "McCain votes agaist vets" at the Republican convention?

[tomanyasses]

butt why did he vote agains it somehting obama had put in it that was no good for veterans your making half wit political comments

[kurdatheist]

As he said in the DEBATE that he voted against it because there was no timetable for withdrawal.... McCains is worse.... voting Against vets is much more serious than votin against a bill

[tomanyasses]

your full of shit and ignorance

[kurdatheist]

I think you are right...

[4thkind]

Soldiers want more money, kill people in other country's than get hurt and cry for the money. What about the USA pay the Iraqis money? or just let them control there resources by them self? No crying hard Soldiers want money because they don't know that the Iraqis fighting back when u take there Land over.

[jkerouac02]

Go fuck yourself Vets for Freedom.

[melasuru]

Barack Hussein Obama appears to be a great candidate but has anyone else noticed that he talks out of the left side of his mouth?

[cinesimonj]

racist little troll...

[jaktigmidblinx]

i am a vet for freedom. i suck my own dick. i am a big ass motha fukin pansy. even tho bush has not given me medical benefits i will blindly support him to the death. my legs are cut off and i have only one hand but still i support george bush till my death.

[mik3moore]

I was going to vote for him until i made my own research he has to much dirty laudry. people needs to wake up this is not about popularity contest its about what best for our country and obama is not the answer

[zedric3733]

Yes it's true. but i'm still with OBAMA!

that's final and i'm happy with it.. :-D

[hitmangiatti]

Yeah Republicans are really for vets, that's why they are always cutting their veterans benefits.

[Orbital808]

It's interesting that they mention that Obama missed 45% of the votes. That is in fact true... he missed those votes during the 110th Congress because he was campaigning. MCCAIN MISSED 65% OF THE VOTES DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD!!! MCCAIN WAS THE MOST ABSENT SENATOR!!! More Republican Ridiculousness!

[cinesimonj]

I reckon the Dems need to do some adverts in a similar style to Olbermann's tactics against Billo - that is, simply use exactly their own words against them. Run an identical advert - a parody if you will, but include McCain's worse figures. Time for some apt humor against the joke that is McCain/Palin/Republican GOP.

[casthand]

iraq is a fucking foreign country

iowa is a state

nuff said

[stoneagearcher]

Actually Iraq is a state. A state means basically a sovereign country. The 50 states here in the US are in effect their own separate countries under federal control. Someone didnt pay attention in civics class that is if they have it any more. Nuff said!

[bartul777]

troops come back

[Cowboyjlove]

Waranle your not even from our country what would you know in the first place.

[sgtarmas]

wow, I am an Iraq war vet, and I am glad not to associate with these loons. Anyone who thinks there are no ties to the McCain campaign are out of their mind. There he goes again panderin to the troops. He doesn't fool me.

[Waranle]

"Vet for freedom" these nuts are republican motherfuckers, dont beeeee fooooooooooled

[casthand]

republicans + demorcats = republicrats

theyre both the same

dont be fooooooooooled

[oldhacks]

IOWA IS IN AMERICA

IRAQ IS A DIFFERENT COUNTRY

WHY WOULD HE GO TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY??

MCCAIN WENT TO IRAQ FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES AND STARTED THE GEORGIAN CONFLICT. get your head out of your ASS

[PersonalJesus348]

McCain "suspended" his campaign and managed to find time to head to ABC after Palin's poor interview. McCain said he was the major contributor to the bail out. But never spoke in congress.

I think there's plenty of blame to go around. And its all political.

[drakelelane]

Weird hearing Doug Jeffers doing the voiceover in this ad. His work with director Errol Morris on the Miller High Life ads are hilarious, and I find myself waiting for a punchline here that sadly never comes.

[gelldole]

McCain also voted against funding because he didn't like timetables. Typical Republican hypocrisy. If you repeat the lie enough, it becomes true!

[Dutlass]

Hopefully, Republicans are getting killed in Iraq.

[cjcinec]

Lets stop Abortion in the poor neigborhoods we need more soldiers. Vets for freedom My azz

[RapidRoulete]

Vets for Freedom? What exactly is "freedom"? I can't believe anybody believes that the US Army invaded Iraq to support any definition of freedom.

[bobhardball]

let´s be honest: we did NOT go to irak to restore freedom BUT rather to find WMD. did we find these WMD? no. so we have to leave irak or, at least, have a timetable for withdrawal. otherwise, we´ll keep on spending $10 BILLION per month, while china, india, brazil and even russia are reinforcing their economy. a superpower with huge economic problems is bound to fall apart. aks the russians, they´ll you. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

[jackb2010]

Maybe nobama will just take a trip to one of the 57 states (not including AK or HI) and never come back.

[conservativeusa2008]

John McCain and Sarah Palin for Pesident

[scottal21]

Can't the right-wing put up an advertisement without lying? It seems impossible.

[jackb2010]

All you fuckin left wing anti war assholes. You are the ones who will be crying the most when the next group of terrorist decide to take a shot at us. Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the freedom you have been given. Nobama will destroy the military, its effectiveness, and this country.

[zbrunch]

yeah you tell 'em, jackb2010! You all need to shut the fuck up and enjoy your freedom of speech.

Dropping bombs on innocent people is a proven way to keep them from wanting to kill us.

Go McCain! Go WAR! Kill, Kill, Kill!

[jackb2010]

Yep, Its always worked in past. Our guys and gals would rather go to where the assholes are and kill em. Or would you prefer to wait for a plane or nuke to show up in your town?

[zbrunch]

are those the only 2 options? kill innocent people or get nuked?

seems like a smarter national defense strategy would leave out both of those options. could we not bring the troops home and have them actually defend our country? have trained operatives on each flight, guards at borders, etc.

BTW Iraqis don't have nukes. The only country capable of hitting us with nukes is Russia and John McCorpse is ready to start another war with them.

[joseph3001g]

coward

[ninjalincolnorig]

If we killed everyone who hates us, we would eventually have to kill everyone on the planet. You can't just kill whoever you want because you can imagine them attacking you. Besides, a bomb could come in by ship or across the Canadian border, for example, and we're fucked.

[joseph3001g]

coward

[willcomentforfood]

shhhhh dont say stuff like that palin will read this an bomb the piss out of us canadians for no reason, i can here it now "they were a,a,a,a,a,a liable country to harbour terrorists and i,i,i,i think that iraq is full of bad guys"

[nucleonic29842]

No need to worry, she just couldn't name a newspaper or magazine that she has read to keep abreast of worldly matters. So I doubt she will see this. Even though she could see Canada from the Alaska border, you should feel safe.

[dthnun]

You're just More of the same...

[PoopyPaul]

Oh yah lets vote for McCain, isnt he the guy that voted in support of the war in Iraq? Who really cares about our troops? McCain sending them into a PREemptive war without body armor and poorly armored humvees? Or Obama that gets more funding by our troops than McCain and never voted for the war to start with and wanted to stop funding this war to get our boys out of this civil war.

[Matt482942]

well, to be fair Iowa is closer to illonois than iraq :P

[Realizalize]

tststs these

spinndoctors...

Obama has to win, Mccain would vote for him, i bet.

[voterUS]

Vets for Freedom are a disgrace to true soldiers fighting for real freedom and serving our country in legitimate and honorable ways.

[Realizalize]

means ,

your freedom isn`t real?

but

when bush-carlyle-cia-oil-zapata says it is legitimate it is honorable then it is!!

although, what if he decides the opposite was true!?Some years later.#, he puts beef aside...

I am your master go and grill me a chicken!!

Better be patriotic, wallstreet will wear a pin!

I am hungry obviusly!)))

[EntropyGuardian]

It is within Congress's power to withhold funding for military action when the power given to the executive is abused. That shit is from the goddamn Constitution. That's the whole point of Congress controlling the pursestrings as it were.

It is disgusting that the democrats don't have enough guts to destroy the next funding bill for the Iraq war because people will accuse them of not supporting the troops.

Pull the funding, end the war.

[entropyfu]

McSame hasn't voted in the senate since April.

[Tailgunner30]

utubepeoplearestupid

Just to remind you of the facts, This bill was sent down to the house by G.W. Bush REPUBLICAN President of America. After days of negotiation John McCain wandered in and single-handedly almost torpedoed it.

When it came to the vote the Rep.s reneged on their promise with pitiful excuses.

[masterhook]

ok how wrong is this ad. Obama only voted one time to cut off money and McCain has also done the same. Obamas comity was dealing with how the europeans were dealing with Afghanistan, not on the war in Afghanistan. Also the bill they bring up has nothing to do with what the ad was about, its a hit peace. The bill did not fly and is just a stunt, it died. Obama is not even part of the committee that over sees this bill but McCain is, funny how they never talk about McCain

[blair227]

I smell Corsi,O'Neil and the Swiftboat liars.

[Caenum3]

They debunked a lot of these statistics in that fact-check segment after the first presidential debate.

[jimmy976uk]

morons

[cupandspoonandbowl]

Anyone who takes anything from these ads and really believes it is ridiculous. There is so much we don't know about in detail of what is being said. We should just be rid of the ads completely because people out there do see them and actually vote based on them. MISTAKE.

[buggedvoter]

Published: September 29, 2008 10:41 AM ET McCain has missed more than 64% of his votes in the 110th Congress

[1BuckeyeNation]

Obama keeps talking about Afghanistan but doesn't even hold hearings on it? He is a empty suit sad joke of a Senator and man.

[PresidentOfTheBlack]

it worked on me in 2004 but not this time. im voting for change.

[dogstar7]

Shatter the Myth of McCain's military experience:

Rising only to the rank of Captain, John McCain was still just a junior grade staff officer. He retired soon after being passed over for the command rank of Lt. Colonel.

McCain never attended the US Naval War College.

McCain has never studied (much less implemented) Strategic Military Planning

McCain has never even commanded a Naval Aviation Combat Squadron, much less a Group or Task Force.

In short: No Actual Military Command Experience

[dogstar7]

should read: Lt. Commander (Navy)

[Biffmiester]

Is it me or did they fail to mention that Obama didn't support the bill for troop funding b/c it didn't include conditions like timetables for withdrawal for Iraq. Now on the flip side, McCain didn't vote to support the troops when the new bill did include timetables. So, who supports our soldiers more?! One who wants to support them and bring our soldiers back soon as well, or another who doesn't want to bring our troops home at all. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT!! STOP SPINNING THE TRUTH!!

[utubepeoplearestupid]

So why can't Obama even unite Congress, considering his party is the majority, to pass an important bill?

Ready to Lead? No.

It isn't just a slogan. Now it is a proven fact.

oh and mcain did show up you moron

[Tailgunner30]

Senator Obama and the Dem. leadership delivered 60% of the democratic vote for this bill, even though it was highly unpopular, Senator McCain while claiming credit for the passage of the bill (it failed as he was speaking!) couldn't deliver 40% I guess that speaks volumes for HIS leadership qualities.

Oh and by the way in the 2 weeks after this crisis started, Sen. McCain couldn't even be bothered to call anyone in D.C. about it, and flip-flopped his way through the entire period.

[blair227]

So why can't Dumbya rally the Repukes?After all it's their fucking mess you retard.BTW,the votes were there in the Senate.Blame Boner and the house Repukes you braindead bigot.

[ShoMpa]

McCain didnt show up on the hearings either! hahaahah

[SuznAz]

SSDD.The Swift Boat Liars resurface under a different name taking one vote out of context attempting to slam Obama. Mccain hasn't voted since April and opposed the New GI Bill for being "too generous" to vets. Our active duty troops are overwhelmingly for Senator Obama...with good reason. Mccain lacks the temperament and intellect to be president.

[nigglefritz]

Active duty military donate 6 to 1 to Obama.

Google:

"Troops Deployed Abroad Give 6:1 to Obama"

Troops on the ground support Obama!

America supports Obama!

[Nags]

The world supports Obama

[Adrasteia988]

Here we go again

Not going to work

the GOP, a bunch of losers who think nobody can see what's under their cloak.

[dutchhaze1]

Veterans for Freedom?

Better off being called "Veterans from Freedom Against a Fair Election"

These swift boat tactics will bite them in the ass this year. Hopefully Obama will hold a press conference basically putting these lies and half truths to rest starting today

[theboywithblueshoes]

Pathetic. This has been covered. BOOORING LIES.

[HobieJ]

How many times do we need to be told: Obama's subcommittee is NOT in charge of holding hearings on Afghanistan! Biden has said it numerous times. Obama even clarified it in the debate and yet this ad is still put out.

[dradik]

I am a veteran, and I support Obama. He can't win the election if he spent all his time over seas. Veterans can't be helped if he doesn't win. Disabled vets ranked Obama 80 percent approval and McCain 20. The IVAW give McCain a D and Obama a B.

[boonatron]

Looks like the swift boat express has reared it's ugly head..Don't listen to this garbage! McCain opposed the G.I. Bill and cut funding for VA Hospitals..and attacked families looking for their missing P.O.W. loved ones. He claims to be such a "maverick" but uses the same Bush/Rove playbook!

[GuyPyro]

Typical Smear ad. Exaggerating half-truths and hitting below the belt.

I really could care less.  Obama still has my vote, even if the McCain Camp. or whomever releases an ad that says Obama eats babies.

Unless Obama actually ate a baby. In which case that'd be odd.

[Jzer08]

he he i'm with ya ;)

[deldelgary]

Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

[deldelgary]

McCain's reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.

[Jzer08]

sickening ad! Just read an article that the Republicans have given the 'cue' to the 'Swift Boat Alumni' to start their smear attacks against Obama! I do hope the American people will see through this bullshit!!!!

[vmaramis]

I sure hope the Obama campaign slap this crap hard and fast.

[mik3moore]

I'm with you he always mention the word "change" yet i dont we haven't heard what kind of change he will deliver for this country i really believe his a fraud.

[cinesimonj]

you REALLY seem to know what you're talking about mk3moore - and you're so EXCELLENT at saying it!

[ProlefeedTV]

McCain votes against increasing veterans benefits, then hides behind "P.O.W."
