McCain Denies Assaulting Sandinista

By talkleft

So now we know, McCain is soft on Communism:

Sen. John McCain has denied the allegation made by Sen. Thad Cochran that he grabbed a Sandinista by the shirt collar in a confrontation that reportedly happened 21 years ago. Sen. Thad Cochran told the story to the Sun Herald this week, saying McCain grabbed an associate of Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega and pulled him from a chair during a 1987 diplomatic mission.

I am snarking, for those who do not get it.

By Big Tent Democrat, speaking for me only

of the 250 swiftboaters

only a handful were within miles of the events and NONE were actually on the boat with Kerry. Kerry's account is backed up by the offiial record. So the swiftboaters were not only painting Kerry out to be less heroic than he was, THEY WERE LYING.

It may be debatable whether McCain is truly senile or merely an asshole, but there is no debate about the things that took place. Only the cause.
