McCain says this video is a smear:

I don't think it is at all. If anybody would like to debate the accuracy of the facts in this video, I'd be willing to get into all the niggling details and discuss them with you.

I don't think it's a smear either, because it tells the truth about the past when McCain was charged with corruption, linked to a savings and loan scandal, just like the present. Unfortunately, McCain was given a slap on the wrist for poor judgment...

There, McCain's judgment is poor. He loses the debate about judgment. But we already knew that, didn't we? Yep.

Insomuch as it is true, I don't think it is a smear.

Yeah, the video is a smear job filled with distortions and lies to try and tie and exonerated John McCain to the Democrat corruption of the Keating four.

Barry hangs around with terrorists and racists and despite being in the Senate for about 3 minutes, he's got the most liberal voting record, one of the highest number of earmarks, including millions for his wife and campaign contributers, and had his hand in Fannie Mae's till for more than almost everyone else in Congress. Wow...I don't think even "poor judgment" covers that. Corrupt is more like it. Yep.

Perhaps McCain was just too out-of-touch to grasp the 5 on 1 pressure he was participating in.

The mistake made by the McCain campaign in going the "smear" route is this.
