Charlie Black Falsely Claims Reed Hundt Vouches For McCain

Back



On Face The Nation today, uber-lobbyist and McCain adviser Charlie Black attempted to exonerate Sen. John McCain for sending letters to the FCC in 1999 at the behest of a lobbyist, claiming that former FCC chairman Reed Hundt has said there was nothing unusual about the letters. But Hundt tells the Boston Globe that his word shouldn't matter. More at ThinkProgress: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/24/black-reed-hundt/

McBush will be revealed for the immoral sell-out that HE IS.

not smears but fact. he did lobby for violent dictators from various countries. it is all documented as fact. can't run from it. it just need publicity. try to show it as fake will bring it more publicity. that's why there is no major publicity showing it as fake in the mainstream media.

Smears? They can back this up. But of course, the neocons will always back each other up. Whether it be treason, genocide, whatever, they do no wrong. Hmm...where have I heard that before?

No, the reason why this issue is dead is because the McCain response has smashed the issue because there is no truth to these reports.

It's documented, Black has spoken of it and said he feels no shame. How can you justify that?

McCain murdered 132 American servicemen on the USS Forrestal because of a practical joke. Firing Charlie would be like the pot calling the kettle black.

Hey gingermax- can you let you know where you got this info on McCain. I had not heard this before and would like to do some research- thanks

Just google USS Forrestal Fire, I also know someone who was on the ship and witnessed the carnage. Also, McCain was not shot down over NVN, the carrier air craft mechanics on his next assignment fixed his fuel gauge and shorted him on fuel. They gave him a one way ticket to North Viet Nam.

McCain is just one more Republican felon. I used to think well of him. Now I know he's a sellout to special interests left, right, and center. He'll pardon Bush if elected, just like Ford pardoned Nixon. It's time for accountability.

Mr. Black is a liar Reed Hundt never said such a thing it was taken way out of context but thats what they do .
