Swift Boat Vet Denounces Clark For McCain
Jun 30th 2008 11:03AM
Filed Under: Republicans, Barack Obama, John McCain, 2008 President
Update: I contacted the McCain campaign to see what their position was on having Col. Bud Day, a participant in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign, defending John McCain and denouncing Wesley Clark. The email exchange:
Tommy Christopher - Phone Message: Re: Will JSM release his entire miltary record? If so, when? Col. Bud Day, who was affiliated with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth appeared in the conference call today. Is JSM accepting their support?It appears that McCain's denunciation of the Swift Boat Vets is somewhat conditional, depending on the individual Swift Boat Vet. The McCain campaign hasn't responded to my follow-ups yet, including whether they will release McCain's full military record, but watch for updates. Here's the audio from that call.
Brian Rogers, McCain Spokesman: Tommy: I think you're a little bit confused here: Col. Bud Day was on the call today because he was Sen. McCain's commanding officer as a POW. Col. Day is one of the most distinguished veterans in America -- he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism. He nursed Sen. McCain back to health after sustaining grave injuries after being shot down. See more of Col. Day here: http://cameron.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/05/08/colonel-bud-day-on-john-mccain/
TC: Col. Day was also a part of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign, which Senator McCain has previously denounced. My question is, does Col. Day's inclusion in his campaign now signal a reversal of that denunciation?
And are you able to address my other question? According to reports, only 17 out of over 600 pages of Sen. McCain's military records have been released. Will Senator McCain be releasing his entire military record, and if so, when?
BR: Obviously no change on Swift Boat Vets.
