Among groups who oppose John McCain, the most serious charges come from a small but fervent cadre of Vietnam POW/MIA activists who accuse him of being a collaborator during his time in the Vietnamese POW camps.
Activists accused McCain of stonewalling the release of POW records because they contained evidence he had collaborated with the North Vietnamese.
They call McCain “Songbird,” and say he received special treatment. Some in the POW community even believe he was brainwashed like Raymond Shaw, the character played by Laurence Harvey in “The Manchurian candidate,” who was used as a tool by the communists to destroy America from within.

The issue boiled over in 1992 after POW families and activists felt they had been mistreated by McCain during hearings before the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. In the video above (posted at Vietnam Veterans against McCain) which was apparently shot soon after the hearings, POW advocates and experts, as well as Republican politicians, including then-Rep. Bob Dornan of California, assert that McCain was stonewalling the release of POW documents because his own records included transcripts of interviews he gave to communist and other media outlets in which he said the U.S. military had deliberately bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam.

Swiftboat 2 will not be as effective as the first, because it is being done without the services of Karl Rove.

This is a swiftboat campaign and should be shunned. I am for Obama and was for Kerry. This represents the most base and divisive political maneuvering. It is shameful and must be condemned. Shame on the Swiftboaters of 04 and 08. We are better than this... Republicans had complete control for 6 years and nearly destroyed the countries economy and position in the world... if that is not enough to get the Dem candidate elected, than the country deserves the poverty and destruction that will come. Shame.

I agree with your post. There is no need for the Dems to follow in the footsteps of the Rebublicans and try to discredit the services of a man who suffered for his country.

For everyones information, Karl Rove used this in 2000. So please don't say its a democratic tactic.

This songbird issue and a black baby was push-polled in SC in 2000 primaries.

McCain ranked 894 out of 899 at the U.S. Naval Academy, fifth from the bottom.

When your grandfather and father are four-star U.S. Navy admirals, you get cut a lot of slack not to mention favors.
