How about a trade -

Dems take down the add in exchange for McCains medical records and Cindys tax returns.

And then the Dems can simply put out a new add on the new flip flop news that McCain was against staying in Iraq before he was for it.

Wow, the repubs must be really worried about this. They didn't say much about the economy ad that has been running for a couple of weeks now.
But this one-- they are really making a big stink about. I don't see how threatening the networks is really going to help.

Hey RNC, YOU are the Einsteins who nominated Mr. "Straight Talk." So let the rest of us enjoy the man's straight talk on Iraq.

WHAT'S THE BEEF? DID THE RNC FILE A PATENT ON THESE TYPES OF ADS? JUST TELL ME, CAN I GET COPIES OF THE RNC LETTERS TO FRAME?

the RNC is a bunch o' WACKADOODLES!!!

How dare the DNC study a reality created by a Republican without accepting the Republican Empire's right to create newer realities. Just because John McCain said these words doesn't mean he SAID them.

It doesn't matter what context you look at the 10-year comment in...McSame is talking oil & empire...

Saying that McCain supports 100 years of war is clearly false and misleading based on what he actually said. This quote and the truth about it has been in the news for quite some time. Using it now does appear to be in poor taste and unethical. Unless the Democrats are suggesting that patently false ads are now okay to run, they should stop. There is no justification for stooping to lies.

Another clear example of the mendacity and worse, stupidity, endemic to the Loony Left "progressives".
The ad clearly and grossly misrepresents what McCain said and meant. IT IS A LIE!
But hey, the DNC put it up so that makes it OK right?
All it actually does is remove any moral standing the Dems had remaining in the ad wars.
What did Wright warn about reaping?
It is just like Obama running his campaign of lies and racial politics while smearing his opponents with his own sins.
Thank God for MadMan Wright.
He is showing America the truth behind Obama's lies and in so doing puts the lie to the airy fairy claims of America's useless Left.
Thank you Wright, but the only people God is going to damn are those ghetto hustlers Hussein and Shaniqua, sending them back to their ghetto fabulous life in their Chicago manse.
And then Hussein and Shaniqua can get Oprah to throw a party to paint their crack house White in consolation.

What the DNC should be saying to the RNC and McSame: Bring it on, assholes!

Heh.

I especially love the whining about how the ad is "misleading" and "distorts McCain's words."

Oh yeah, not being "misleading" or "inaccurate" or even "a big fat stinking lie" has been the standard for GOP ads over the years, the line they would not cross. Just ask John Kerry about his self-inflicted wounds in Vietnam.

And others here, please note who above have waded in to cry foul over this horrendous treatment of the GOP nominee in quoting his own words. Why, I do declare, it's our own agents of "Project Chaos" who have been here fluffing Hillary for lo these many weeks.

Tools.

McCain wants the US to stay in Iraq indefinitely, effectively forever. That much is true.

The logic, such as it is, goes as follows. If troops are getting killed, they need to stay in order to try not to get killed so much. If they're not getting killed, they need to stay to keep the peace. Either way, the troops stay. Indefinitely. Effectively forever.

The ad makes it clear, by using McCain's own words. Run the ad. Indefinnitely. Effectively forever, until the troops come home.

Actually the RNC's objection is that the ads is based on truth and accuracy.

Apparently, they believed that American politics had moved beyond this tactic. They pointed to HRC's campaign for proof of their point of view.

Ooooooo - funsies!

The Republicans sure know how to whine. :)

and we better get used to it cause we're going to hear nothing but whining for years while they languish in the minority and out of power.

My bet is the RNC lawyer letters are not about this ad. They probably know that making a stink about this one will just get it more coverage on cable news, especially since they don't have a legal or moral leg to stand on.

They're playing the ref, hoping to slow the next ad and the one after that, and generate sympathy coverage for their man, the former press favorite.

I hope the MSM is sufficiently embarassed about their performance over the last decade and doesn't fall for the same crap that's put them in such low regard. They need to keep their lights focused on McSame's pandering, flip-flops, and nutty pronouncements-- like 100 more years.

Just how illiterate are these republicans, no where does it say anything about a 100 year war.
I guess fox news has really had its affect, they seem not to know how to understand something without a talking point. Keep up the whining, the louder they shout the more attention they draw to the ad. They are so predictable, acting like 2yr olds who can't have their way. Got to love it!!!
Cry babies, cry!!!!!!!

This is too funny! So much for Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos"!
If you can't stand the heat boys.....

If the GOPers cannot take the heat, they had better stay out of the kitchen.

I wonder if the RNC lawyers have come to talk with TPM yet? The TPM people are running the ad non-stop and it's great.

At any rate, what McCain said was actually WORSE than his frist saying that we should be at war for 100 years in Iraq, as Think Progess says:

The point is it’s American casualties. We’ve go to get American’s off the frontlines, have the Iraqis as part of the strategy, take over more and more of the responsibilities, and then I don’t think Americans are concerned if we’re there for one hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years.

McCain is loose cannon isn't he? Because this bit where we want Iraq to supposedly have freedom but only want Iraqis to get killed trying to sort out our shock and awe created anarchy just screams that we are there ONLY for their oil.

This is why Bush doesn't like Iran having any say in Iraq, because Iranians are tell Iraqis that they don't need to do business with Western oil contractors. This is why Bush/Cheney wants to do an aerial bombing campaign over Iran, in pure Bush adminstration style bulling threats over US business interest.

McCain knows this war is about oil, and that is why he wants an 100 year occupation in Iraq. This is why McCain jumped on the bandwagon, calling France our foe, because France was very upset that the Bush administration voided out France's oil contracts with the war in Iraq and with killing Saddam to achieve the dissolving of any foreign contract competition.

This war is about oil...as McCain says, and then I don’t think Americans are concerned if we’re there for one hundred years or a thousand years or ten thousand years.

Bush and McCain don't care if Iraqis every get a democratic government or not, or if they kill each other or not, ONLY if we stay there a 100 years to guard that oil for US business interest. And Americans ARE concern about that, and thus shows that Republicans are running out of lies to tell Americans, this war is about oil and McCain now believes that fighting wars for oil is okay with MOST Americans.

Iraq has got to tell the US to leave, if they fight and die - why the hell are we there letting them die while we take their oil, sorry I don't think Iraqis signed up for that cost in blood and no money, no resources.

Does anybody hear what McCain is saying - it's awful.

It is that flip mouth that makes McCain utterly unfit to be the President of the United States. He simply does not think before he speaks. Imagine the press core trying to deduce which words coming out of McCain's mouth are to be taken literally, which quotes are fair game? Do we need a special sarcastic to regular English translator through which he'll speak our Allies?

McCain cannot pass the say what you mean, McCain, mean what you say, straight talk express test.

Obama will crush McCain in November.
