Many spurious lies have been circulated by the Crypto-Marxists about a fellow prisoner in the Hanoi Hilton. It is up to you men that lived and were tortured alongside McCain to speak up now. It's bad enough we have the CM's with BDS smearing and ashing our present President. The Left is now bringing up lies about McCain. We know all all American POW's broke eventually. It is no sin to say you did. We have heard of all the inhuman torture you all underwent. The key word is "eventually." No one can withstand the pain you have endured. I believe the same of McCain. He DID NOT collaborate with the enemy. It is time for you all to come forward and speak out.
Someone is suggesting that McCain was a collaborator? Who? Where? Has the Left really sunk this low?
The Leftist Loons of AOL, in the Section labeled “Political Conundrum” have begun smearing John McCain by claiming he collaborated with the NVA after capture.
That is why I posted here.
I want the truth to be told about McCain.
If you get around FR frequently, you’ll see that many posters on this conservative forum believe that McCain was a collaborator and a traitor during Vietnam.
Might even get a few showing up right here.
Okay, but surely you know that alleged "source" has no credibility whatsoever. Given freedom of speech, people are going to post all sorts of nonsense -- oh well.
Do you have a link to a supposedly reputable source who has said such nasty stuff about McCain?
There is no need to query the Left. They hate all that is good about our country.
What is sorry is that the McCain Deranged psycho conservatives at this forum have accused him, among other crimes, of accepting preferential treatment in exchange for classified information.
All quite true.
So what? Who cares? FR posters run the gamut, and so do their posts. Why would the loons on AOL be any different?
If you get around FR frequently, surely you've learned to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Freedom of speech. Enjoy it while we still can...
BTW, Reagan Man, that was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. I am aware that you've been around FR nearly a decade, and respect your long history here. ;-)
‘NYT’ Sunday Preview: Gore Vidal Questions McCain’s Time in Prison Camp (He made it up?)

Anyone that has anything to say about McCain's POW years better have a heluva war record. No one else should say a damn word.

They have a few other articles listed in the search, directly accusing McCain of collaboration, but they seem to have purged them from their archives.
Thanks for the clarification.
I was about to get in your face .... ;^)
Agreed!
Gore Vidal??? A reputable source???
Shirley you jest.
Seriously, Vidal is insane. His words are as nothing. If I were McCain I would laugh and brush that off as a housefly.
The fact that it appeared in the NYT doesn't surprise me. Vidal is a nutcase.
Inquiring Minds Want To Know?
Yeah, I realized I'd forgotten a /kidding tag on the initial comment. Sorry for the temporary rise in BP.
Great profile page, BTW.
Oh, I have read most of the articles claimed by the Left on FR and other sites.
I still think it is time for the fellow Ex POW’s to stand together against this onslaught of smear and character assassination.
Good lord, don't tell me there's more than one of him!
He was beaten up too much to have been a traitor and almost died. Where is the YouTube video of his TV interview?
I may think he is less than conservative, but a traitor he is not.
