?I don?t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.?
McCain has never once said this, yet they decide to bring it up and act like he has..they are attacking it, jackass.
no, nobody is attacking his military record. they called kerry a coward and deserter and try to strip away all he accomplished in the war, and that he never deserved any medals, and its ok.
now 2 people simply suggest that being a p.o.w. does not by default make someone a good president and its a lowdown shameless attack on mccain's service. now its "waaaaa im offended. how dare they. waaaa"

But Karry throw his medals away.

That does mean that he protested his service and therefore was open to the criticism. You are the one who failed by trying to compare what happened to Karry with what is happening to McCain. McCain never protested his country.
the swiftboat ads attacked kerry's service in the war, said he was a deserter and a coward and that he never really earned his medals. you are just grasping for straws and making irrelevant conclusions to suit your own ends.
example: someone's actions after serving in a war magically erases the history of their actions while they served.
you're just im 'win' mode so give your nonsensical illogical response and lets be done with it. you people annoy me. i feel like ive been infected with fail by arguing with you

Thank you for telling us why people are attacking McCain. Revenge.

You are misrepresenting what was said.
In a debate, Clark's opponent said "Obama has never been in a fighter jet and he wasn't shot down" To which Clark responded "I don't think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president".
I.E. He didn't bring it up, someone else did.
Also, it's ridiculous to say that he's being attacked. That is not an attack by any measure. Simply questioning whether or not military service in and of itself automatically qualifies someone to be president is not an attack, an attack would be to attempt to pain McCain's service to the country as some sort of traitorous endeavor like Republicans did with Kerry.

Making a blanket statement of "military service and being a proper president do not go hand and hand" is not a personal attack on McCain, or just McCain. If Obama had a military record, it would encompass him too. If Kerry were running again, it would encompass him too. The statement may even be true, as not every president of the US has had a military service and I'm fairly certain there were a few good ones that didn't serve.
Now the swift-boat adds on Kerry were a personal attack, as they specifically signaled out Kerry and said his purple hearts were bogus, he was a traitor, he was a coward etc. etc. etc. See the difference?

Sure they are... They are not doing the attack directly, but the people on the fringes are attacking. Both sides are doing it. Same old politics.
