Brave New Films put together this devastating film on "Straight Talkin'" John McCain's whack-a-mole positions regarding Iraq, gay marriage, and the Christian Right as the champagne smashs across the bow of a new website, therealmccain.com.
One of the virgin blogs on the site includes a link to Sidney Blumenthal's chronicle of the destruction of the myth of John McCain. It's called: The Myth of John McCain. Here's a key passage:
McCain's political colleagues, however, know another side of the action hero --So much for the Republican that the media believes has crossover appeal.
a volatile man with a hair-trigger temper, who shouted at Senator Ted Kennedy on
the Senate floor to "shut up", and called fellow Republican senators "shithead
... fucking jerk ... asshole". A few months ago, McCain suddenly rushed up to a
friend of mine, a prominent Washington lawyer, at a social event, and threatened
to beat him up because he represented a client McCain happened to dislike. Then,
just as suddenly, profusely and tearfully, he apologised.
The Nazis, Fascists and Communists were political parties before they became enemies of liberty and mass murderers.
