"Smear campaign?" Did he or didn't he wreck five planes, create a disastrous fire on board a carrier?, and was he not among the five senators who improperly intervened in the investigation of the perpetrator of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association fraud?No I think he would see it just for what it is, just like everyone else would at this point and time, where as it would be viewed as yet another desperate left wing smear campaign, then concocted against anyone in power,[...]You know what would be fun? If Rachel Maddow leaked a rumor that her next documentary was going to be about the life of John McCain.
He would go ballistic, thinking she was going to lay out his 5 crashed planes, his incident aboard that ship, and his corruption during the Keating Five all over again for the American public who have been hoodwinked by this "Maverick".
The real bottom line where McCain is concerned is there is nothing truly heroic about anything he did or endured in Vietnam. He did suffer. So did many thousands of others who served there but who did not rise to high political office because of their family's connections.
If you wish to know who John McCain really is, just do a little Google research. There is a lot there to be learned and it's not part of any "smear campaign."
