How Dirty is it Going to Get?
MSNBC saw fit to run an ad stirring up lies about the extent of John McCain’s previous bouts with cancer to suggest his health is a smoking gun issue and is trying to make forcing disclosure of his medical issues an issue in the campaign.
Meet DFA, Democracy for America. They are another one of those so-called advocacy or political action groups, which functions as surrogates for the Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate without being directly accountable to the Democratic National Committee or the Obama Campaign. As such they can function as the hatchet men for these concerns who can in turn plausibly deny their involvement (wink-wink) and say they (nod-nod) had nothing to do with their activities.
This is the link to their site which currently features perhaps the lowest of the low political ads shown so far. It suggests John McCain is purposely covering up the dangers of his previous bouts of cancer suggesting that he already has one foot in the graveyard.

The insinuation of course is that does John McCain have something to hide?
The ad has been aired by MSNBC for $50,000 paid for by Democracy for America and Brave New PAC. Democracy for America (DFA) is headquarted in Vermont headed by James Dean, brother of Howard Dean, Democratic Party Chairman, how convenient! Incidentally, these groups attempted to get Fox News Network and CNN to broadcast this hate ad. Both networks declined.
The ad shows a stark blank and white computer enhanced photo of John McCain showing his face with bandaging on the left side of his face after his 2000 surgery for skin cancer. The performer, supposedly a doctor, announces: “John McCain is 72 years old and had cancer four times.” With almost a science fiction horror movie production, the announcer then concludes, “Why won’t John McCain release his medical records?”
This hideous attack ad is a vicious attempt to make Senator McCain’s health and age an issue in the campaign. Additionally, Brave New PAC has circulated a petition with 2,500 doctors signing to urge the Republican Nominee to release his medical records.
In truth, last May, Mr. McCain released 1,173 pages of medical information to a group of reporters to examine for several hours. The records themselves were not released nor were reporters permitted to make copies. These texts cover 2000-2008 including his most severe outbreak of melanoma. Other reports have clearly stated John McCain is in superb health and his health should not be of concern.
Barack Obama has not released his health records either. Maybe we’d find out something about the extent of his admitted drug abuse including cocaine. One can only imagine.
Regardless, this is the latest of a series of ads run by various Democratic party support groups representing the most extreme faction of America’s far left.
Once again, MSNBC found no problem airing a malicious ad attacking the Republican party while on air anchors openly fawn all over Barack Obama. The network has abandoned any pretense of reporting the 2008 election honesty. They’ve established themselves as a pro-Obama advocacy group masquerading as a cable news network.
It’s time to use the remote control and avoid NBC programming to the fullest extent. The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, Dateline NBC, and all other news programming should be held as highly suspect and viewers seeking honest insights into the election must realize no such coverage is possible in such a conspicuously biased organization.
Under Jeff Zucker, NBC has gone from a network consistently producing top-rated programming to a pathetic also-ran in the TV industry. The news entity which once boasted names like Tim Russert, John Chancellor, Chet Huntley, and David Brinkley is now home to Keith Olbermann, David Gregory, and Chris Mathews, all committed and conspicuous left-wingers.
Is it any wonder, MSNBC is the only network to run the horrible hate ad discussed in this article?
