War Made Easy

clipped by: LoPhatt
clippers remarks: War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

NYT: McCain Cheated at Saddleback

clipped by: Wisco
clippers remarks: Team McCain responds:

"The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous," [Nicolle Wallace, a spokeswoman for McCain] said.
And thats pretty much it -- McCain was a POW and that makes it somehow impossible for him to cheat. Im not sure thats so logical. Still, its one more example of McCain using his Vietnam experience as a political crutch. It should also be not that the NYT and the Obama campaign arent the same thing -- its also an accusation, not an "insinuation."

Expect a lot more of these non-responses in the future.

Senator John McCain was not in a ?cone of silence? on Saturday night while his rival, Senator Barack Obama, was being interviewed at the Saddleback Church in California.



Members of the McCain campaign staff, who flew here Sunday from California, said Mr. McCain was in his motorcade on the way to the church as Mr. Obama was being interviewed by the Rev. Rick Warren, the author of the best-selling book ?The Purpose Driven Life.?

The matter is of interest because Mr. McCain, who followed Mr. Obama?s hourlong appearance in the forum, was asked virtually the same questions as Mr. Obama. Mr. McCain?s performance was well received, raising speculation among some viewers, especially supporters of Mr. Obama, that he was not as isolated during the Obama interview as Mr. Warren implied.
