McCain Cancer Attact Ad



Saw this on MSNBC.

New York Times

"In releasing 1,500 pages of medical and psychiatric records, Senator John McCain of Arizona has provided an unusually large amount of such material for a candidate for high office, including the broadest look ever given the public at the psychological profile of a presidential candidate."

Los Angles Times

"Although he hasn’t had a physical in 16 months, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been “in excellent health” and is physically ready to serve as president, his longtime physician wrote in a letter released by the campaign today.

The letter contained relatively few details but noted that Obama has a family history of cancer – his mother died of ovarian cancer and a grandfather of prostate cancer. A prostate-specific antigen test detected no issues for Obama, however."

"The overview was contained in a one-page letter with no supporting documentation. “With no surgery or hospital stays, this is a complete summary of his doctor visits and medical records for the past two decades,” said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki.

The brief Obama letter contrasted with Arizona Sen. John McCain’s decision to let a selected group of reporters spend three hours with nearly 1,200 pages of health records last week."

The issue of McCain's health is far more important, though the ad was propaganda (though not from Obama camp)...the fact that the high probability Palin could become President, or at least acting President is really scary...she is a full blown fascist capable of turning this country into Nazi Germany in a second...she could really cause the end of humanity this is really scary.

Update: MSNBC has notified the ad's sponsors, Brave New PAC, that it will no longer run the ad. This came a day after Bill O'Reilly attacked NBC for running the ad.
