I believe this to be true 110%. They are both liberals.
One has an R.
One has a D.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called John McCain yesterday to personally apologize and denounce comments an adviser of hers reportedly made slamming the GOP senator over his time in captivity in Vietnam.
The move from one potential 2008 presidential candidate to another was sparked by a column in The New York Times, in which Maureen Dowd quoted an anonymous adviser talking about McCain's criticism of the Clintons over their North Korea position.
The adviser said Team Clinton thought McCain was doing the White House's dirty work by criticizing the Clintons and ended up "looking similar to the way he did on those captive tapes from Hanoi, where he recited the names of his crewmates."
That was a reference to an unsubstantiated rumor used to tar McCain, a Vietnam war hero, as off-kilter during the 2000 GOP presidential primary.
Aides to both senators said Clinton reached out to McCain to denounce the comments.
Clinton is said to have a good relationship with McCain, and her circle clearly wasn't pleased with the remarks.
Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said, "These comments are reprehensible and they in no way reflect Senator Clinton's feelings."
McCain spokesman John Weaver replied, "Senator Clinton is correct, the remark was reprehensible."
Last week, McCain took what many saw as the first shot of the 2008 race, blasting Clinton for placing blame for North Korea's recent nuclear test on President Bush - and pointed to husband Bill's policies as a "failure."
Clinton has avoided directly criticizing McCain over those comments, instead taking aim at Bush and Republicans at large.
Clinton, facing token opposition in her Senate re-election bid, has said she's focused only on the 2006 mid-term elections, and has stayed mum about her future.

No, it's not an error. Read the last graph:
Clinton, facing token opposition in her Senate re-election bid, has said she's focused only on the 2006 mid-term elections, and has stayed mum about her future.
One of the early graphs refers to both as "potential presidential candidates."
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the fringe on FR to apologize for using the same slur. Several months ago I posted an article by former Gore advisor Naomi Wolfe also using the traitor meme. Most readers of the thread were outraged, but before and since I’ve seen it turn up in threads.
I’m sure the left wingnuts aren’t done with it. I’m equally sure the right wingnuts aren’t done with it. To the shame and discredit of both.
Why is this posted? Is there a reason why this 2 year old article is being recirculated? If not, please lock the thread.
Then how do you explain the references in the article to the 2008 election...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It has to do with politics,Ilya,and I can’t imagine why it should be “locked” to please you.
Because they were both potential presidential candidates and 2008 was the next presidential election?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I believe this to be true 110%. They are both liberals.
One has an R.
One has a D.
But, this isn't a rumor:
>>>a reference to an unsubstantiated rumor used to tar McCain<<<
Because are the transcripts.
>>One has an R.
>>One has a D.
Party lines are now disseminated by Vanna White.
At least McCain will not appoint Leftist judges and he won’t “cut & run” from Iraq & Afghanistan.
As I have done for the past 20 years since RR, I will have to “hold my nose” and vote “R”.
my, my...no need to get testy.
It just didn’t look right being posted on Real Clear today and dated 2006?
gezzzzzzzzzzzzzz...take a chill pill, newbie. LMAO
I wonder if they would? Oh well, they are available for comment anyway.
“Why is this posted?”
Because it’s newsworthy.
“Is there a reason why this 2 year old article is being recirculated?”
Because it’s newsworthy.
“If not, please lock the thread?”
And just who do you think you are to be requesting a thread be “locked?” LOL
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, indeed.
ROTFLOL.
Maybe the mod can modify the title to reflect this is a 2006 article?
Clearly posted in October of 2006 and they do refer to the 2008 race. Just as we suspected, this has been a long ass race.

” I wonder if they would? Oh well, they are available for comment anyway.”
Good question.
I don’t know all the history surrounding McCain and what he did and didn’t do while a P.O.W.
I do know that he refused to be released when he could have been.
After spending five and half years in the Hanoi Hilton, I can’t imagine anyone not “breaking.” So you’ll never hear any criticism from me regarding that issue.
I made up my mind before I arrived in Viet Nam in 1969 that I would not be captured alive. And I would take some of the enemy with me.
Semper Fi,
Kelly
well now we know...thanks for the link
