This guys worse than Bill Clinton. We gotta get this news out there. Someone start the email campaign.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_mccain

Yeah, I like how he said his worst moral failure the other night was that his marriage fell apart. It's hard to get to the other side when you're waste deep in the middle of the river man!

1. It's okay. He suffered in Nam, so he can do anything he wants. nt

3. It's just for all those Repube's who STILL bring up Clinton
and his affairs even though he's not running anymore. Now we can say, well what about McCain? He may not be able to lift his arms but he sure can wax the surfboard! Oh!

4. You're in big trouble
if you're citing Wikipedia as any kind of authoritative source. It's hardly to be relied upon for accuracy or veracity.

6. Um...don't you think
McCain would have this legally removed from his Wiki page if it weren't true?

I mean, it's not like he's running for President as a super Christian, and incorrect information on one of the Nation's top search information websites could hurt his chances or anything.

It's not like a newspaper or something when they print something untrue, I'm sure if McCain's lawyers contacted Wiki they would take it down pretty quick, even without him having to prove it.

8. I think it's so insignificant
that it barely merits attention. Plus, McCain is a public figure, and anyone can pretty much say anything about a public figure on the Internet(s).

It's just a site where people post stuff - keep that in mind. Wikipedia's sources are always - always - questionable.

10. That's "Enquirer," and
they don't publish stuff by anonymous surfers.

Can't you tell the difference between a publication and a web site?

Sure you can.

Can't you?

11. So you think just anybody can get something posted about a presidential candidate on Wikipedia?
I'll give you $500 if you can get them to post that he had homosexual relations with his Vietnamese captors based on his quote that they were homosexual.

*read below after you try to post the above and get rejected*

Oh, they didn't let you post that? Weird, you just said they would post anything about anyone.

14. Welcome to DU
You're not very familiar with Wikipedia, that's obvious.

But, I'm sure you're going to enjoy your time here.

Best of luck to you.

5. References:
Man of the People by Paul Alexander; p. 90-91

In it he references a Boston Globe article from 1979 that alleges at least one affair.
