Calling Bullshit on Outrage

News broke today that Vanity Fair and the National Security News Service are in a legal battle with the United States Navy over documents they believe prove John McCain's involvement in a car accident that injured or killed another person.

Vanity Fair magazine and the National Security News Service claim to have knowledge "developed from first-hand sources" of a car crash that involved then-Lt. McCain at the main gate of a Virginia naval base in 1964, according to legal filings. The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public. And in documents suing the Navy to release pertinent information, lawyers for the NS News Service allege that a cover-up may be at play

Yikes! But maybe not…

No. 1 stickynose says:

Look me in the eye and be completely honest, all you Obamaniacs:
Have the press been anything even remotely balanced in researching Barack's past? How many reporters have been ransacking his garbage? Looking into his activities from 25-30+ years ago? Poring over his expense accounts? Parsing speeches from 1995?
The American press is hopelessly corrupt and untrustworthy and it has become so obvious that even the few remaining honest journalists on the left have started to cry foul about it.

Meh. It's between him, the victim's family, and his insurance.

No. 3 say what? says:

well, stickynose, I'm sure you won't buy this, and I'm not saying it's true.

but it's possible that the press has looked into Obama's past (after all, we did hear all about Wright and Ayers) but hasn't found anything scandalous.

25-30 years ago, he was in high school and then college. so um, I'm betting his "scandalous" activities were limited to drinking underage (if he did drink then) and trying to get some nookie.

my opinion on this "scandal"? what Chelsea said. I am, however, waiting for all the republicans who cry foul about Kennedy's car accident to speak up here.

Argg, I've only ever heard about being victimized by Word Press before now!!! That's two now, including my long rant about the karmic and spiritual benefits of social…
ism.

Anyhoo, the controversy about this car accident from many years ago is that perhaps JMcC's injuries were a result of this accident, and not his war time experience, as he says.

No. 6 Ruby Jackson says:

Seriously, that's what I heard, but we are talking about bottom feeders (every side has them) who are looking to stoke the flames of a conspiracy theory. But yes, that's what I read somewhere.
