I need a good roundup of how mccain is A: racist as hell, and 2: not particularly good for vets/soldiers. Both for a couple folks loving denial in my family, and so those who aren't full of denial have some ammo when discussing shit.
Also, links debunking obama's muslim connection, might not hurt.
I'm googling my butt off, but I need somehting very 101, for some of these mofo's.

Date: 2008-10-09 10:26 pm (UTC)you'll notice, on this page (http://dav.capwiz.com/bio/id/192) under the "votes" tab, that they have a breakdown of McCain on what they consider to be key votes (they do this for all legislators) which shows him either voting "against" DAV's interests 21 out of 32 votes. I read somewhere else they only gave him a "20% rating" but I can't find exactly what that's in reference to. Obama, on the other hand voted "with" DAV's interest in 17 out of 19 votes scored.
and that's just track record. the Make-Believe Maverick article in rolling stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/23316912/makebelieve_maverick/print) gets into a lot of character issues surrounding his service and relationship with Vet's issues.
re: Obama's supposed Muslim status, CNN did a report debunking those rumors:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ4v7iLnvrQ
re: McCain's racism, there's this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2rpvj9NSXM and the related book, but I fear it may be difficult to convince a vet (though I've NEVER EVER heard my dad use the g-word and he's a two tour enlisted vietnam vet) that McCain's racism is unacceptable on this issue
hope that helps some
