(1,406 posts)"Bush Used Fringe Veterans Group to Attack McCain as Manchurian Candidate.
In the case of Ted Sampley, the same guy who did Bush's dirty work in going after Sen. John McCain in the 2000 Republican primaries is doing the job against Kerry this year. Sampley dared compare McCain, who spent five years as a Vietnam POW, with the Manchurian Candidate.
Sampley Called McCain a Coward and a Traitor.
Sampley
accused McCain of being a weak-minded coward who had escaped death by collaborating with the enemy. Sampley claimed that McCain had first been compromised by the Vietnamese, then recruited by the Soviets.
There are more than enough examples of his poor judgement as a Senator to rebuke him. Acting like G.W. Shurb should not be one of them.
