"On this thread, I see no one but the left trying to question McCain's war record, Swiftvet-style."

Baloney.

He has had his flying record questioned. Which is pretty dubious, I might add. He wasn't at war with the three planes in question, so pulling a war record cloak over it is just blowing smoke. He has had his cross in the dirt story questioned. Which is pretty stinky when you look into it. bentway has brought up the fact he signed a "confession" as to war crimes and claims he made a similar video. The first, McCain has admitted. The second very well may exist. It wouldn't surprise me, everyone has a breaking point under torture.

I don't think it is right, but at least it is factual.

That isn't anywhere close to the Swiftboaters who you have supported.

And, frankly, McCain is overplaying his war record. The "sure, he has lots of houses but he was a POW!" defense was pretty much the last straw. His appearance at Saddleback where he didn't miss a chance to talk about being a POW was pretty far out there, too. Now, I understand you are trying to "nuance" his use of being a POW and Kerry bringing up he was a veteran...
