TPMtv: John McCain vs. The Video Tape

[polynomialxyz]

succeeding

[luke12191]

you liberals all are ignorant assholes...you all think you are better than everyone so you know what leave american since you wanna be socialist communist pigs, go to canada or england JUS GTFO!

[NewRemorse]

If it wasn't for the Internet this deceptive, irate, little tyrant may have been running the country right now..

[Youtoober22]

Doubt that NewRemorse, Obama was chosen long before that.

[ronlramsey]

Have you ever wonder why Senator John McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. My guess is that Senator John McCain did not want to fix the crap that former President George W. Bush put us in. The own a man who can fix it is President Barack H Obama.

[Philinspaces]

I guess its obvious why this old poop lost the election. He's just not a good liar.

[Phantomplayz]

McCain is an imbecile. Much like most Republicans are.

[nopalinus]

- Palin left Wasilla $20 million in debt

- Todd Palin was arrested for a DUI in 1986.

- Palin pressured a librarian to ban unspecified books, later fired her, but local residents pressured to re-hire her. (Palin characterized her questions as "rhetorical.")

[nopalinus]

- Sarah Palin's pastor: "We need to think like Jesus thinks. We are in a time and a season of war, and we need to think like that. We need to develop that instinct. We need to develop as believers the instinct that we are at war, and that war is contending for your faith. ... Jesus called us to die."

- Palin was in church when Jews For Jesus founder David Brickner described terrorist attacks on Israelis as God's "judgment of unbelief" of Jews who haven't embraced Christianity.

[nopalinus]

- Palin attended convention for Alaskan Independence Party, which is devoted to ensuring that Alaska secedes from the union. Addressed the party convention this year. Founder of AIP said: "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government."

- Todd Palin was a registered member of the Alaska Independence Party from 1995-2002

[nopalinus]

McCain Flops: At a town hall meeting in Pemberton, NJ on June 13, 2008, McCain was asked about privatization and replied that I am not for quote privatization of Social Security. I never have been, never will be. That is a great buzzword for an attack. However, he then added that workers should have the right to put their own taxes, their own money into an account, which is still privatization. [Nashua Telegraph, 6/13/08]

[nopalinus]

McCain Flips: In March 2008, the Wall Street Journal reported that in an interview McCain said he still backs a system of private retirement accounts that President Bush pushed unsuccessfully. The Journal also noted that a centerpiece of a McCain presidential bid in 2000 was a plan to divert a portion of Social Security payroll taxes to fund private accounts. [Wall Street Journal, 3/3/2008]

[hickeye]

i love when Mccain gets offended at other people being 'denigrated'...he's so noble. Makes me all wet.

[cx7530]

vote McCain/Palin 08

[rusH1023]

McFailin 08

[Leviathong]

McPalin? :):):)

[nopalinus]

Have any of you EVER heard a republican say they were wrong?? no, i didn't think so.

McFalin= 4 more years of bush

[Annabolicenima]

McCain loves to interrupt people when they're talking, just another reason i dont like him.

[whatis224]

TPM you are a beast for making this video thank you.

[Vatanaven]

Since when do we elect terrorist to the senate? Rhetorical. I just wish people would stop calling Obama a freaking terrorist. You can dislike someone, but to go that extreme is just absurdity.

[jeiger]

You've got no credibility Mr. McCain.

[monsterminds2]

mccain is wrong for america

[mamazma]

when bitter and combative, his focus becomes fuzzy

[rhenry501]

The GOP disbannded the Army and fired all the Bathists, so they created roughly 60% unemployment over night. We then go around and raid homes looking for insurgents many times on partial to false intel pulling families apart in the dark of night. We are unable to provide power 24 7 because most of the engineers were Bathists. We fired an entire army, and we wonder why they are rioting in the streets. This was not done by the US Army. It was done by members of the GOP. You have your failure GWB.

[dupsywupsy]

seeking fun loving men

[bennettonix]

just because you keep repeating a line, It does not make it true Sen McCain. How many time will this man "cry wolf" before people stop listening to him.

[cheeri09]

God, I miss Tim.

[coreyalan23]

hahahahahahahaha

Anyone who votes for McCain is either stupid, willfully ignorant, or just brainwashed.

This is the biggest no brainer since kennedy beat nixon.

[cx7530]

you would rather vote for a terrorist named obama who is in the chicago mob? wow you are a dumb fuck

[timothyscottgilbert]

Yes I would. LOL Go Terriost. LOL

[coreyalan23]

cx7530- if you really honestly think that Obama is a terrorist and is in the mob, believe me, YOU are the dumb fuck . . .

[pokermaster54]

Being called a dumb fuck by you is like being called ugly by Karl Rove.

[anobody911]

what does his name have to do with anything? Cos it sounds like Osama?

McCain sounds like McVeigh, another terrorist.

[Anacinc]

Forgot to mention; thanks so much for posting! Hopefully alot of people get to watch this and fuels them to think!

[Anacinc]

This is just unbelievable! How on earth did this stupid ignorant senile old fart get this far??

[imbill23]

One heart beat away! Who was born in 1884 and died of a heart attack in 1945 at age 61 ? Who was born in 1911 and died in 1981 of a heart attack when he was 70 years old? John S. McCain

[Saturn501]

Scary...

[Poolboyz42]

McCain is an embarrassment for the US on the international front. Sure he is a POW survivor does that make him qualified to run the US? Some may think so. He has been in DC nearly 30 years I don't believe he is the "Maverick" he claims to be. It is all campaign fluff. Look at his voting record (when he his even there to vote), I think it speaks for its self. It says nothing about change. US people are falling for the same "swiftboat" campaign tactics. Conservatives are not about change.

[blackeyedsiouxsie]

We need Tim Russert back. :(

[grazzellian]

The Republicans should be ashamed to run in these elections. Their presence is so vile, they're like armed robbers in a bank. McCain is IGNORANT & out of touch! He & his plastic molls have no clue about the lives of ordinary Americans. It is a mad moment of geriatric bad judgement & psychosis to pick that gun totting, godawful, ahead, anti-gay dominionist anti-choice fraud, apalling Palin. It is vile. McCain Mcshame! Mcbush! America Wake up before the nation is lost in this forest of Mcpsychosis

[SuzInKS]

OMG! Its so funny to go back and watch these Republican pundits trash McCain now that they have to TRY to defend his out of touch positions.

[pogo747]

OMG! McCain, you old, lying bastard! you are either senile, or lying, or both. you and Palin must not win. for the love of America and the fate of the free world.

[jcurphy]

Reliable mentation is McCain's greatest enemy...

[allgoo19]

Is there any video that supports anything that McCain said? I'd love to take a look.

Why should this guy be elected?

[lbjfan408]

kerry burned mccain good..... 3rd degree that is!

[Salivorin]

Every voting American needs to see this.

[eccentricXXX]

McCain chose Joe Lieberman for his running mate!!!!

McCain/Lieberman 08

[rogerinflorida]

This gets "scarier" and "scarier". McCain's strength is supposed to be on military and foreign issues?? If he can't even remember key elements from Petraeus's testimony only FIVE DAYS before the Meet the Press debate, how in the world is he going to handle all the difficult matters a President must juggle!!

[bratalie114]

He'll have an aneurysm, and Barbie will take over! The US is soooooo f..ked

[akirashimablue]

the past is John McCain greatest enemy. it is too bad with his campaign that he can't remember much about the past. It is also too bad for the GOP.

[beserker45]

Obama needs to defeat McCain hes a faggot!

[EntertheBlackDragon]

I miss Tim Russert, I watch meet the press every sunday, Obama will be there this sunday. I hope everyone will watch as our next president makes another appearance on MSNBC the watchdogs for American Politics.

[OsheaEt]

I darly miss Big Tim Rus/ RIP

[settle4more]

McCain is one cool kat! What a sexy wife he has also!!!!!

[lbuchite]

Has anyone searched Vietnam Veterans against John McCain on youtube. This is some serious shit.

[settle4more]

???? I listened to this thinking it was going to make John McCain look bad. For me it shows that John Kerry is an idiot and that John McCain is more presidential. McCain is certainly more presidential then B.Hussien Osama Obama. Give me a break that man has absolutely no business running for president.The Dems lost me this year. I was supporter Hillary but they robbed her of that chance to turn America around with there bias toward this complete fraud B.Hussein Osama Obama.

[lbuchite]

Does McCain have dementia he does not remember what the hell questions he asked or what the answers were. He does not need anyone to make him look bad he handles that quite well himself.

[marabout40]

I think your moniker should be more like "settle4LESS."

[spmandmtgr]

wow I

[spmandmtgr]

stuped misclick anyway

I will not vote for this duschbag morion I will vote for a 3 party or I will try to wright some one in if that dose not work I will not vote at all...

[AmishMarine1]

1.) no he isnt 2.) His father was an Atheist, and even if was, who cares? 3.)So is every other black person who goes to church. congratulations 4.)hes he does 5.)No he doesnt 6.) you are an idiot 7.) again... 8.) out of context 9.) So UK, Sweden, ALL OF EUROPE hates us? and al-Qaeda supports McCain 10.) Yes he has "detestable" etc. 11.) unless you count his time on the Illinois senate I know you're a troll but seriously? 0/10

[jefeisdguard]

1. Ohh but they R. Khalidi & L.A. Times 2. Muslims can lie. Obama's a muslim & thus lies 3. Not baptists 4. NOW he does, flags cover up 'che' poster 5. Yes he does 6. CanT prove me wrong, ehh? 7. Ditto 8. Why? See #6 9. Nope. reverse psychology. They hate Bush. Remember? McSame, McShame, McBush? 10. DonT forget Al Qaeda! They love Obama! Both supported by CodePink. Obama supports CodePink 11. It is! Should we count... 'present' votes too? subtract 123 days. Ur an ogre, u THAT STUPID & IGNORANT?

[beserker45]

Everyone better vote for Obama after they see this. Or at least not McCain!

[charris1980]

i don't care if a city blows up in October, if anyone votes for for mcCain i'm quitting this country and it's electing process.

[halfbreed23]

Oh snap. The James Jones McCain knows is a different James Jones. WHOO WHOO! Jump aboard the Straight Shoot Express!

[UGOTDAJACK]

what does knowing James Jones for 30 years have to do with what he said? this is what frustrates me about these politicians. Them and their backroom deals. It's not gonna work this time you old son of a bitch!

[dstevens101]

Don't you just love when they strawman the argument then twist it as some sort of attack on our troops?

That feels like an ad hominem attack: an attack of last resort when you're ammo runs out or your powder is all WET.

[traciroxx85]

Angry, Stubborn and Out Of Touch.. this is John McCain

[musicman576]

This is just more evidence that McCain is unfit for command.

[Boobalopbop]

Which Meet the press is this? not last sundays... what the eff?

[Vidszhite]

2007...read the dates.

[Boobalopbop]

I see that now... My bad. I'm just so much more upset about Russert's death than I should be. I can't believe this. I truly think of him as one of the good guys in that business. Damn.

[htezerdi]

mccain tried to end his own life TWICE... lets put his finger on the trigger... good idea...

[UGOTDAJACK]

This John McCain charactor is a lying son of a bitch. The sad thing is there are still some people out there that will vote for him. HE'S GONNA BE EVEN WORST THAN GEORGE BUSH FOR CHRIST SAKES! Someone punch him in the nose or something. It just might knock some sense into him

[badtown88]

I don't think he'll be worse than Bush simply because that's not possible. But he'll be close, and that ain't good.

[globalmayor]

To bad more people haven't watched this.

[politicalfarce]

McCain belongs in jail

[Hdtex]

What a fucking idiot...

[smujismuj]

Yikes, if you lose a neo-con monkey like george will, you pretty much have to throw in the towel.

[smujismuj]

Ron Paul campaign videos for the whole family

[copy and paste the titles below in youtube search bar]

Ron Paul...Dirty secrets from the past...Treg

Ron Paul Dominates the All-Time Charts

CNN polls show people want RON PAUL to lead rEVOLution

True Reason for Ron Paul's Low "Scientific" Polls

Media Caught Lying, Version2

[kevinak823]

If Ron Paul is so popular, why do I only hear morons touting him?

[barindersharma]

THE SURGE IS NOT WORKING. McCain is full of shit. Here are the reasons the "violence is down"...

Anbar province - Our forces pulled out and left the area to the tribes.

Baghdad - The anti-American cleric Muqtada Al'Sadr called for a cease-fire.

Sectarian violence - The Pentagon changed the definition of "sectarian violence" so that less violence falls into that category. HOW a person is shot (not IF they are shot) determines if it is "sectarian violence". LIES to hide the murders.

[henning12]

this video is clearly dishonest and i cant believe there are that many people that stupid to fall for these tricks. if you just watched, you'll remember McCain expressing concern that Kerry was belittling our troops efforts in Iraq, and then the video is cut to a segment about the Iraqi forces, not American forces. these tricks are performed by wizards, and i can see these wizards behind the curtains, they dont fool me

[AmishMarine1]

whats your point, he still lied.

[megathumos]

good video.

let's stop mccain, everyone!

[gregoryburrows]

Kerry just made Sen. McCain look silly and show his true colors as a BushCo mouthpiece and not much else. McCain was once a real independant thinker and a true Republican: not any more. Great editing, very educational piece there.

[jjdamien]

great vid

[alch96]

McCain only believes the voices in his head arrogant, stubborn, mental case.

[fdsajklj]

The surge is working, we had a shitty strategy in the beginning. They took stuff out of context.

[antihostile]

Great video, needs a lot more views. The man is completely out of touch with reality. This kind of nonsense from the senile John McCain should end his campaign.

[chip8989]

I hope this video starts getting more views. McCain is not the answer.

[swanseaboy]

Mccain says politics doesn't go into peace in a country?

What an idiot.

[jjschultz101]

I love how all the McCain supporters hide from the truth, LOL...straight talk, my ass.

The ignorance of John McCain and the denial of the truth is so transparent. John McCain lives in a warped sense of reality. Yeah, go McCain, go far away.

[smartamateur]

Looks like John Kerry won that debate with John McCain. Too bad McCain will suffer the same fate as Kerry as another presidential loser.

[monkeytvmedia]

What do they have to hide? They won't let you reply on their sites unless it's to praise them. Deceit runs rapid in these video's

[monkeytvmedia]

McCain needs to drop out of the race, he would not be a good president. GO McCain GO

[oldhacks]

Kerry won by a lareg margin in 04. it was stolen just like in 2000. Democrats just didn't have the guts to contest it.

[destinyson23]

John McCain was probably a decent candidate in 2000. Now he's selling out to get to the Presidency. So So Sad!!!

[VegasBD]

Watching McCain say completely different and opposite viewpoints, only days apart, was amazing. Thanx for putting this together....

[johnjgus]

Liberal Assholes!Go John Mccain!=]

[wawbwc]

John McCain supporters, help spread the word about the "CFR". Thank you

[Andi1761]

It might be nice if you idiots were to support our Troops over there in Iraq for a change instead of them having to listen to you news media idiots that like to keep on saying things are bad all the time. What's with you idiots nothing else to report on. Stop being such morons.

[jjschultz101]

Support the troops? That's exactly what anti-McCain people are doing. They are saving

this country and the troops from radical extremist war-mongering liars like McCain.

Go Mac, go far away!

[fleap16]

RepublicanLegend how about 0% violence moron!!! i beat your a hawk you chicken shit ...join the army like me pal and see things over there through the eyes of a soldier you pussy...by the way im a LIBERAL ...OOOOOOOHHHHHHH scary

[RepublicanLegend]

Been there done it my friend. That's why I support the GOP. I know you lefties like to try and play the "you didn't serve" game but you lose on this one. By the way, just because you didn't serve doesn't mean you can't have an opinion.

[JustJoelyouassclown]

LOLOLOL

Modern liberals are obsessed with authenticity.

I love how creatively veracifier edits together Patraeus's comments. Well done guys! That's the objective journalism I know you guys shoot for.

[RepublicanLegend]

The surge has worked. Violence down by 70% since the strategy went into place in June. That is a FACT, something I know you libs have a hard time dealing with. That statistic is from Reuters. Google it.

[voiyour]

Wonderful. yippeee. Mission Accomplished[II]. Let's declare victory and get the fuck out.

[VegasBD]

Violence is only down in areas that we have pulled out of like the south and north. Funny how they use those areas' statistice to say the overall war is working... ha

[playa94533]

wawbwc, thanks for the info.

[cornelstown]

All this giving out by demorcats abotu mccain and what is their alternative??? WELL????

[cornelstown]

Total ignorance are the words to describe people who are in favour of withdrawl. The region needs to be stablised and I would like to hear how democrats react when a terrorist attacks the US from iraq after withdrawing.

[IraqVetNY]

And you just want that to happen to prove Democrats wrong? It sounds like that's what you want. No offense.

[playa94533]

How does this guy even get to be on television?

[TheSofian]

"With McCain's deluge of devastating points and dizzying rhetorical takedowns, Kerry was clearly no match." It's a lie so it doesn't matter how ''elegant'' McCain may twist staying in the war but it's not the truth or what we need, listen to Ron Paul speak he talkes about the full picture. And Kerry isn't fit to debate an egg shell, this guy ran the sorryest campaign ever, he should retire from politics.

[BrerRabbitBDA]

Sofian, "Kerry isnt fit to debate an egg shell, this guy ran the sorryest campaign ever .." False. The 2004 election was one of the closest in US history. Kerry came within a hairs breath of beating a sitting president at a time of war - a remarkable political achievement. And given the standing questions of the voter suppression in Ohio, he may well have actually won! Be informed please.

[utubesucks2003]

And what did Kerry do about the voting suppression?Did he challenge an obviously flawed system?And during the trail as I recall he held the smallest televised rallies I have ever seen, while Bush was in stadiums with thousands, whose idea was that on his team?Did he tell the American people his honest allegiance to the Yale cult Bush belonged to?Did he mention blowback once about Iraq or any truthful commentary on our foreign policy?Spineless then, spineless now. Watch the UF incident.

[mitsuhid32]

They're both spineless, stupid, and a pain in the ass.

Thank god for the '08 election.

Normally I believe "better the devil you know", but there is no way that the '08 administration will be any worse than the current one.

[utubesucks2003]

I think that was implied and the 08' administration could be more worse than this than you can possibly imagine with Iran.

[vy588z]

Wow. Unfortunately you cannot get real coverage like this from the mainstream media. Which partially why we are in Iraq now.

[cpenter]

It seems to me that McCain is always forming his opinions based on emotion, he always to back to the sentiment included at the end. We have to make the soldiers sacrifice meaningful. Facts come later.

[heckofanutjob]

ugghh. What the hell happened to McCain? He used to be the one high-profile Republican I could stomach. No more.

[NY2216]

He's a wacko

[topher01]

exactly! When McCain was running against Bush in 2000 I actually felt pretty good about him. After Bush kicked his ass in South Carolina, McCain kinda fell apart. After that he just became Bush's butt boy. Now he's just a gutless bitch and I have absolutely NO respect for him.

[thetubeaccount]

his opinion just seems to be whatever is contrary to the democrat sitting next to him - no matter what he himself has said, on the record, previously

thanks for this video. it makes things clearer than before about McCain.

[mikey2600]

New title for this video: "John McCain vs. John McCain". Everyone makes mistakes, but I just won't believe that the series of 180 degree askew recollections and interpretations presented in the footage is a mistake! When someone says A and McCain recollects it as B, at what point does B become reality for him? :) Does he actually store the twisted reality as fact in his brain, or is the TV interview game called "just say the opposite thing of what anyone else says no matter what"?

[topher01]

This is pretty much the problem with all conservatives. They're going to see things their way no matter how many facts contradict their viewpoint. The global warming issue is a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. A mountain of data and virtually universal scientific consensus and you still have a bunch of right-wingers saying that it's all a hoax. Go figure...

[mikey2600]

Ugh. It was a bit stomach churning for me to watch John McCain try so hard to believe the stuff coming out of his mouth. I'm sitting here alone in my living room looking around to see if anyone is here that I need to hide my red face from -- I feel that embarrassed after watching this video!

[cujothekitten]

LOL

BTW there's a McCain ad above the video LOL

[drdan1029]

McCain, if you could only go back in time to face your former self... You've turned into pull-string talking doll.

[Desnoxvu]

poor McCain, it is hard to try to convince people of false truths. He used to be cool though. awe well....

[westphalianprinz]

I'd like to have Christopher Hitchens on here as the intellectual with rosy colored glasses. He still think they're going to build an anarcho-syndicalist commune in Iraqi Kurdistan or something.

[oolong2]

McCain... please watch this...

[franknyt]

Wow! Great Job...x2

[fishhead06]

Wow, McCain is more of an ideological zombie than George Will. Wonders never cease.

[beatbaker]

Fuck all GOP traitors.

[dieverse]

Wow! Great Job!

[mark4l]

I cannot believe McCain is trying -single-handedly- to bring down his own candidacy.

I am so sorry to see this great hero being humiliated like this. The sad thing is is that it is self-inflicted.

[Akyrumunios]

Another job well done sir. Keep it up and never give up.

[TheMightyDisco]

John McCain has a spectacular monotone speaking voice. Sadly, this is his only positive quality.

[thedrax]

Great fuckin vid. McCain is delusional man.

[chaostherie]

Amazing video We need more like it. I would like to know why shows such as the one that Mc cain and Kerry where on don't have this video avalible ON the show it's self..... So when Mc Cain says something that is going against something Mc Cain said..hahah they could say wait one minute.... then cut to the video....

[geyser]

McCain has been promised a leading role (not the presidency) if the Republicans win the 2008 election, IF he backs Bush's strategy in the media...

[LuminiferousAether]

Is that just speculation? Or was it leaked somewhere to the media? I'd appreciate a reference.

[bxblox]

there is no success in anbar province, they tribal leader go blown up!!! success is not just stopped shooting at americans.

[agitcam]

McCain has obviously lost it, he needs a long rest. After he drops out of the race for president for lack of interest maybe he can get away for awhile.

[fmm3]

McCain is delusional and stupid at best and at worest a liar and warmonger. Thanks for the video

[nbwulf]

McCain is trash. I'm hoping he bows out soon. The video is also a reminder of why Kerry had no shot against Bush.

[fishhead06]

What do you mean? I though Kerry was very articulate - and correct.

[nbwulf]

It's almost that Kerry is too articulate and combined with his tone can be quite monotonous. This combination takes away from the point of what he's actually trying to illustrate...whether it's correct or not.

[dafttool]

As is often the case with political animals, they get trapped by their own words.

[deadlogic]

7 or 8 years ago, I thought McCain was about as decent as a Senator could be. At least he spoke his own mind, if nothing else. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Pushing propaganda for the Bush administration isn't working out so well for him.

[L0vethehater]

Wow... mb he is just senile?

[bowwowbill]

very well done TPM

[LayneRoxxx]

I'm sure Iraq loves the idea of being the battleground in central front against al-queda.

Very good idea, I can see the upside in that for their people.

[ilike2burnthing]

hoyl crap, how can one man be sooooooooo wrong?!? it amazes me that McCain is that stupid!

[KIDiotequeA]

Another great post...but we should be more worried by the people who are saying the things people want to hear. I fear no foreign enemy..only my government. When we are being told we must sacrifice freedom for security from both sides...we're in trouble. Really enjoy the content and how you present these videos, but I cant help but think you're playing into the two party system. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel...our only choices.

[123Ahad]

And just think..... He's one of the better candidates

[MUSKETT30]

This should be forwarded to McCain's YouTube site or to his site directly.

The very last part says it all... "You're debating with yourself McCain".

[PreetSG]

And they call Democrats flip-flopers?

[Bolgernow]

McCain, already floundering wildly, is officially done...

[brawnymike]

So ... MCCain is a liar, delusional, stupid, or some combination thereof. Sounds just like the President we've got now.

Vote For McCain For More Of The Same!
