McCain’s YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare
Posted by Media Release
There’s no question John McCain is getting a free ride from the mainstream press. But with the power of YouTube and the blogosphere, we can provide an accurate portrayal of the so-called Maverick. We can put the brakes on his free ride!
Since we first released The Real McCain a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain’s record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media’s love of McCain. And so we thought it was high time for a sequel: The Real McCain 2.
We’re doing everything to get the facts out there about McCain. Join us in making a concerted effort to tell the story that corporate media refuses to tell. E-mail this video to all of your friends and family members, news blogs and other local media outlets. And don’t forget to Digg it!
According to Cliff Schecter, author of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don’t Trust Him And Why Independents Shouldn’t:
“It is dangerous for a democracy when a presidential candidate can lie with impunity, change positions on a whim, and physically and verbally threaten others and virtually none of it is reported by a besotted media eagerly awaiting the next moment when he might slap their backs in friendship.”
The mainstream press may not do their job, but we can surely do ours. It is crucial that we alert the public to the REAL McCain, and it is crucial we act now, before it’s too late.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald,
and the Brave New Team

You are obviously visiting the same sites I do.
We all have our roles.
The only way this post matters is if Senator McCain suddenly becomes more at risk than H.R.Clinton.
Is that possible?

Considering the option, I will side with McCain anyday.
WTF is wrong with the Democratic party, why are they so eager to lose.
H.R.C was the perfect candidate to run against McCain, and in the general election she would have been a sure thing. But no, at one of the most important times in American History, with our economy sinking, gas 4 dollars a gallon. Most of the world disliking us, and viewing our healthcare system as one that only serves to serve only the upper-class adequately. The democratic party decides to put there bet on an untested candidate who won mostly red states in the primary.
I have always viewed myself as siding Democrat on most issue’s, after the 2000 election I found the party gutless and started to pull away. 2004 I still voted Dem even after they nominated Kerry’s elitist horseface on the ticket. Now it’s 2008 and after 8 years of not holding the presidency, the Democratic party is ready to throw it away once again.
Im going third party, or McCain, I am sickened by a party that would cry foul over Gore winning the popular vote, but would hold Clinton in disdain for bringing up the same argument.
I have nothing against Obama, I just feel that his is not ready for the job, will say anything to get the nomination, and does not understand the working class. It would have been great to see him as a VP choice, the American public could have gotten to know him beyond his media image, he could have gotten experience, and after a few years run with the knowledge and experience VP would have given him.
This isn’t Dairy Queen, and for everyone who says experience isn’t that big of a deal, get you head out of your ass, would you go to a heart surgeon with little experience but instead good commercials on tv for his practice. Hell no you wouldn’t, but for some reason the Democratic party doesn’t think the position of President is that important, why should experience matter, it just involves the leader of the free world.
Change isn’t always positive, and things can go worse, why risk it?
