Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2004 3 p.m. EDT McCain: Grill Kerry on War Crimes Claim In his harshest comments to date about John Kerry, Sen. John McCain said Monday that the presidential candidate's claims that he committed atrocities during the Vietnam War is a "legimitate" area of concern that requires further explanation. Asked if Kerry should be asked to provide details about his 1971 admission on "The Dick Cavett Show" that he commited atrocities that violated the Geneva and Hague Conventions, McCain told ABC network radio host Sean Hannity, "I think that that's legitimate. I do." Story Continues Below But McCain defended Kerry's controversial testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee just three months before the Cavett broadcast, where he accused his brother soldiers of battlefield barbarity "reminiscent of Ghengis Khan." "I don't agree with his statements and I said I didn't agree with those postwar [comments]," the Arizona Republican said. "But people have the right to disagree with their government. It was people's right to protest against the Vietnam War and that's one of the things we fight for." The former POW said a 1973 article he wrote for U.S. News & World Report where he talked about being "bombarded" by his Hanoi Hilton jailers with statements from prominent anti-war activists was not a direct reference to Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony.

Democrat Mayor: Why the Left Hates Bush U.S. Sen. Zell Miller, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch and St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly aren't the only prominent Democrats endorsing President Bush. Add Youngstown Mayor George McKelvey to the list. He told Ohio's cheering Republican delegates at a breakfast this morning that "the left wing hates George Bush the most because he believes in God, and you better believe that." Story Continues Below As for his party's nominee, Sen. John Kerry, McKelvey said, "Like the rest of you, I have no idea where he stands on anything." He said he would campaign for the president in the crucial swing state. "I'm embarrassed that Jerry Springer is the Democrat of the Year in Ohio. Let me state that very clearly for the media; he's probably their hero." By the way, here's yet another example of how Democrat intolerance of the First Amendment is starting to rival Democrat intolerance of the Second Amendment. After Kelly spoke out for the president, enraged anti-choice leftists launched an effort to try to recall him, not for any Gray Davis type of incompetence and corruption but merely for thought crimes. Kelly noted to the St. Paul Pioneer Press: "Political discourse in this country has come to an all-time low, so that when you disagree with someone, you attack them. The last time I checked, the mayor has the same right to every other citizen to voice his opinion and choose to vote for whomever he wishes for president." But what does anyone expect of the party that keeps trying to censor Swift Boat Veterans for Truth even as Kerry's multimillion-dollar hate groups spread their venom?
