re: #197 Pianobuff

The McCain meme was that he was brainwashed by the commies while a POW and had a sekret mission (ala Manchurian candidate) to destroy the US.

That wasn’t a leftie story. The folks who spread that BS around are right wingers and friends of former NH senator Bob Smith and a former nutjob representative nicknamed “Boots” whose column is/was carried by NewsMax, IIRC. Also some creep named Herndon and the Sampley and Kiley bastards.

They’re all right wing, unfortunately.
