The Article He Didn't Want You To Read
Filed under: Politik > John McCain
The New York Times has run what could be perceived as a very damaging article on John McCain.
In fact, the Republican presidential hopeful tried to get the piece killed before it even went to print!
What's the big deal about????

Vote Ron Paul!!!!
Re: Linda – google Larry Sinclair Obama bitch, maybe you'll care about that!!! This toothless wonder passed a lie detector test after he stated he did drugs with Buttcrack and then SMOKED HIS POLE–in 1999!!!
The article has absolutely no factual basis. Good try Perez. It's a shock that you didn't mention anything about Michelle Obama's "first time I've been proud to be an American" comment. What a joke.
WHO CARES!!??? Even if this was true, HOW MANY YEARS AGO WAS IT? PLEASE! This is just a smear campaign. Mr. McCain is a war hero, and a former POW. I'm not a republican, and I'm really questioning stand as a Democrat. If you step back, and just take a look, you can see how moronic, and childish these smear campaigns are.
Re: LINDA THE GREAT DEPORTER! – (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( LINDA SHOULD GO TAKE A SPIN IN DA BLENDA SINCE SHE BE REFUSIN' TO SWEETEN WIT SPLENDA!))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
And how is this "damaging?" So what, he was getting a little on the side. Big deal.
I'm very disappointed with you Perez….
Leave politics to the news media!
The New york Times has completely gone off the left deep end. This claim is 8 years old. There are no names of people confirming. And even the girl in question said she did not get any favors. Come On! Perez… Shame on you for putting this complete trash out there. I thought you only shared the truth… Then again I thought that about The New York Times too.
Just another hypocritical Repub Scum who demanded Clinton resign while they were banging every hooker and lobbyist in D.C.
When campaigns start with the smear campaign stuff - they usually are taking on water and tanking fast. Pretty low-rent move on Obama's part. Very telling about his lack of character, lack of statesmanship and well he's a lacky.
He'll have us in Iran and with a draft. Hope all you McCain supporters like getting drafted and having your legs blown off.
Re: HELENA –
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! SO IGNORANT
get your facts straight fatso…it was a times hit piece.
Re: Lauren – STUPID BITCH! MCCRAKCOAIN WANTS TO HAVE A 100 YEAR WAR…YOU STUPID BITCH..I HOPE YOUR SONS, GRANDSONS AND GREAT GRANDSONE HAVE TO FIGHT IN HIS WAR! THEN YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A STUPID BITCH FOR SUPPORTING HIM! ITS TIME FOR A DAMN CHANGE! WHITE WILL BE THE MINORITY IN 2021..WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!

haha, this is stupid. the fact it's getting all this press with no real evidence, except for old staffer's 'seeing her a lot', is ridiculous. Why can't we just look at what people stand for? I feel like no one know what any of these candidates really stand for - especially Obama!
Re: shannon – It's clear you don't know what you are talking about. None of the presidential hopefuls are Muslim. Even if any of them were, it's clear that you have a short sided, ignorant stance on an entire religion. It's obvious that you are not smart enough to do your own research, so let me clue in on something….much of what comes out of Limbaugh's, O'Reilly's and Hannity's mouth is untrue. P.S. no religious nut should be in office, and often the one's screaming about how religious and virtuous they are are the worst offenders.
IF YOU FREAKING BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES WRITES, YOU ARE CRAZY!

IF YOU FREAKING BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES WRITES, YOU ARE CRAZY!
if anything it damages the times for yet another leftist shit article… nothing was substantiasted and he already issued a statement and is more than willing to fight back… even liberal democrats have defended him honestly it only gives mccain more media attention and a better rep…. when did the ny times get in bed with the national enquirer… one would think that a news paper of such "quality" would focus on the plagiarism obama does, yet they'd rather show how pathetic they are as they scramble for some mccain dirt that doesnt exist…
are you kidding? this is the best they can come up with to try to derail his campaign??? if we all remember correctly the shithead who was in office before bush was SCREWING his intern in the OVAL OFFICE.
you are a celebrity blogger, not a political blogger.
just stop…
have any of you idiots even read this article? He is not who he pretends to be re: special interests, lobbyists, etc. All the moron media and you douchebags are talking about is the scandal aspect when that is not the real story here!
Re: Maria – Perez is THE PEOPLE'S BLOGGER, kinda like how Diana was THE PEOPLE'S PRINCESS. He can't be contained, no subject is OFF SUBJECT for THE GREAT ONE! There's no stopping him!
So get over it…BEEEEEEYYYOOOOTTTTCCCCCCCHHHHHHH!
Re: McCain is a warmongering scum. – SCCCAAARRRRRY! I'm glad I'm a 40 year old homo.
Vote for John McCain if you want LESS JOBS AND MORE WAR. He has said (you can watch it on youtube) that he wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years and to bomb Iran, etc. He's cuckoo for coco puffs. He's crazy and he'll start WWIII.
McCain cheated on his crippled wife with Cindy when he was 40 and she was 25. Now that she's 54, is she really shocked that he found himself a younger version of her? Come on. Once a cheater, always a cheater. The man left his crippled wife for a beauty queen 20 years younger. Douche!
Does he seriously think the court is going to give him a prior restraint??? what an idiot!

Re: GRAMPA CUNT GOT BUSTED!! – omg, you are the most evil, ignorant person ever. You would never know what it is like to be a real soldier. Get a life! Preferably outside of your little suburban keyboard!
and this is shocking because……. I mean really, what else is new?
This is something that the Democrats knew about for quite some time. As is typical, it was leaked at the least opportune moment they could find. It is also totally unsubstantiated, but then again, who's surprised because it was published in the NY Times; a paper with virtually no journalistic integrity anymore.
Did anyone else lose interest in that boring crap? i sure did. What a bunch of hooeeee
It's not juicy, for Christ's sake! The Times is firing people left and right because no one reads their shit, because their paper is about as credible as the Weekly World News. They're a bunch of left-wing extremist hacks. Also, the little editor-in-chief of the NYT CHEATED ON HIS WIFE about a decade ago, knocked up some other chick & married her. Hmmmmm.
MCSTAIN'S WIFE IS A HARDENED WHORE WHO STOLE A HUSBAND FROM A CRIPPLED WOMAN!!! WHAT KIND OF WICKED BATTLEAXE OF A CUNT DOES SUCH A THING???? EVIL FUCKERS, BOTH OF THEM. I BET HIS DICK IS FOUR INCHES, NO, MAKE THAT THREE INCHES, FULLY ERECT WHICH IS WHY HE NEEDS TO "OVERCOMPENSATE" BY BEING A WARMONGERING PISSBAG–WHICH I'M SURE HE NEEDS AT HIS AGE. I HOPE A SCORPION STINGS HIS COCK AND WHAT THERE IS OF IT FALLS OFF AND GETS EATEN BY A TEACUP CHIHUAHUA.
HILLARY '08!
for the last time, obama IS NOT muslim! get educated before you vote!
Re: Terry – Perez is a HOMOSEXUAL ????? NO!!!!!!!!!!
and you are an IGNORANT DOUCHE BAG
so there suck it had STUPID BITCH
and the Mc Cain's are both CUM WHORES !!!!
Re: Miko –
Nice to see a racist in the house voting for Obama…..dude you suck!
white power rules
hmmmm, what's worse? A made-up story about a potential candidate, or the ACTUAL PRESIDENT HAVING AN AFFAIR IN THE FREAKIN OVAL OFFICE?
P, when it comes to politics, you are such a fat, gay dope. Clinton and her husband are fucking jokes, and McCain is a stand up guy and an American Hero.
Re: AGAINST OBAMA – That was wrong, and I vote Republican. Not nice, uh uh. I'm fine with a black or woman prez, they just better do a DAMN GOOD job at keeping America's best interests at heart!
Re: lming – Did he really say that about Iraq? I want to know if he really did! Please, if anyone knows ACCURATE and TRUE sources to this statement, please post it so we can be educated about the real issues!
It"s all made up bull shit like the copy cat speeches from the idiot obama!!!
Quit shoving your political beliefs down our throats-stick to celebirty gossip. McCain's sacrificed years of his life for this country. What have you done?
unnamed sources? uh huh….
perez your are so unfairly bias to your beloved democratic party. you know this story is bogus. (2 unamed sources). it is not credible and the new york times should be ashamed for so blatantly trying to rig the election! shame on you too.
Please people! its not about the female lobbyist…doesnt anyone see that this is SO much more damaging than the Clinton scandal. The Keaton 5 should have fucked up McCain and now its finally coming back to bite him in the ass!
Dear #176,
I didn't tell anyone how to vote.
I just said that you are a fucking idiot douche for brains if you vote republican.
And you have proven that you are a piece of shit asshole.
Republicunt.
the New York Times is a group of sensationalists with absolutely no factual information to back up their claims. love you Perez, but I am very disappointed when you endorse journalists who fail to bring any truth to the public….
I don't think this should be the BIG worry! Maybe we should look into his HEALTH!! If he knows he is too unhealthy (skin cancer) he should do the RIGHT THING and give the american people a fair opportunity to elect a president who is in a better physical position! Now don't get me wrong, know one knows how long they've got. But he has a health risk that needs to be looked into! Maybe Huckabee is smart to stay in the race.
this is so stupid..perez i usually like your stuff but this is just a huge smear campaign against him i don't care who he is to me this is just wrong…ny times was way out of line…i wouldn't have any part of this if i were you
Re: shannon – Comments like these only demonstrate ignorance in US citizens. Americans who see Sen Obama in a negative manner simply because the word Muslim was associated with his name are narrow minded and a product of an ill relayed information. Also, before you continue in bashing Obama due to his religious background, you should make certain that you are preaching correct information. To set the record straight, Barack Obama is not a Muslim. It is Barack Obama Sr., his father who is a Muslim. How dare anyone criticize the religion of another when the US constitution allows us, as Americans to worship freely.
I find it interesting, that the same conservatives who say that this New York Times article has no hard facts are the same people that accuse Obama of being a muslim radical with NO FACTS!! The same conservatives that promote family values wanted to kill Clinton for cheating, but give McCain a free pass. Conservatives tend to be hypocrites. PolitGal is right, any of you that researched McCain would know that he left his first wife for Cindy (who is 18 years young than him). She was addicted to painkillers and she stole them from her non-profit organization. Why would it shock you that McCain had an affair? He's done it before. No matter who wins the dem side, anyone is better than McCain. ANYONE!
Re: Calm down – he does not need anger management. he should be angry, as should we all. the current party in office has done all but run this country along with its economy and reputation in the ground.
No surprise it's from NY Times. As if that really makes this legit.
I read this atricle already and it's all smoke and mirrors. I think its interesting that the New York Times (which I usually LOVE and read everyday) is writing this bull shit based on unnamed sources. Isn't that what the Enquirer does. Shame on the New York Times for sinking to the level of tabloid journalism, are they that desperate to sell papers? Why have they not also run a piece on John Edwards pregnant mistress, OH YEAH, I forgot, they wouldn't because he's a Democrat. Republicans get fucked by the New York Times and Democrats get away with murder. Wake up NYT and start reporting the news, not manufacturing it. (Okay, now I'm done giving NYT a lashing I'd like to mention that I'm a Democrat married to a Republican and everyone should read the NYT's weekly column Modern Love, great column.)
there was nothing in the article that proved that he showed favor to iseman! i agreed with the statement made my mccain's campaign! it Was a hit-and-run smear campaign. no proof of their relationship was ever surfaced, yet the times still tried to insinuate that their relationship was more than friendly!
BOOOOO
Re: Chris – Why do you care if Fox news is a conservative station? CNN is EXTREMELY liberal…along with many others. There is NO news program out there that is neutral. Anyone who sits and watches CNN and actually takes it seriously is a fucking idiot. Everything you will hear is left sided. see it goes both ways.
The Times circulation is down because of unsubstantiated shit like this.
does anyone else think his wife looks like a frigid bitch?!?
Re: Chris – Not everyone is going to agree with your opinions you fucking idiot! WELCOME TO AMERICA!!! Not everyone is going to think the same way as you. and by the way… i'm ashamed to of this country because there are people like you. Ungrateful pieces of shit that have no knowledge on politics whats so ever. Liberals like you are tree hugging pieces of shit.
Re: jimmyjazz leaning twds McCain – AGREED! WELL SAID!
Re: PoltiGal – What does him leaving his wife have ANYTHING to do with his ability to run a country??? Obviously you research too much GOSSIP about candidates. Turn on the news for once hunny…educate yourself.
Re: GIVE US YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR STUPID FUCKING IDIOTS… – you know what I think is funny…if a terrorist would see you…they wouldn't think twice about killing you. It's too bad that all of our soldiers aka "murders" are keeping them from getting into this country and doing that to you…
Man Perez, you are late on this dish!
ugh… typical of the press! I love how the ny times endorsed mccain, and are now writing this tripe. it is disgusting. both he and the lobbyist have denied anything. read cnn.com for real news, not entertainment.
I LOVE HIM!
I PRAY he will be our President
Re: hader –
Anyone is a fucking idiot who votes party line. Every voter should look into all of the candidates on their ballots and should vote for the best person on each line, when you vote party line you are being LAZY and are giving up your rights and are letting the party bosses make up your mind for you. THEY WANT YOU TO BE A FOOL AND VOTE PARTY LINE, YOU HAVE A BRAIN, USE IT. There are as many good republican politicians out there as there are good democrat politicians, if you think democrats have your best interest in mind YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. EDUCATE YOURSELF FOOL.
i'm surprised and disgusted that so many people are leaving racist comments about obama and ridiculous claims that he's muslim (he's a member of the united church of christ you idiots) and even more than that, it shocks me that no one seems to mind them! have concerns about abortion? fine. immigration? fine. the war? good! but fuck. this country is fucked up when people STILL remain so racist and ignorant after all these years. how insulated do you have to be from interacting with people different than you, whether it be race or religion, to feel that way? war mongering religious zealots are just that, no matter which religion it is. fuck, why am i even bothering? you're beyond help. hopefully your kids (shudder the thought) will know better and be a little less scared, crazy, and reactionary.
im personally republican but all i know is john mccain is crook. my grandfather was the assistant gov. to arizona back in the day and was a close friend with john mccain until he managed to steal millions from our state as well as my grandfather. if it comes down to him or hilary i think we should all just move to canada
STFU Perez, you know better that NY TIMES ENDORSED HILARY CLINTON, so they're shit is biased and they've gone low to try and damage this honorable candidate. STICK TO CELEB GOSSIP AND LEAVE THE OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF TO THE BIG GUYS. STOP FUCKIN ENDORSING HILARY, she's gonna fuckin lose and IF only IF she would miraculously win, you know you'd be talking shit about her after she's sworn into office.
this was a leftist move to disrupt mccain's campaign. i'm really not sure what all the fuss is about…isn't it well known that the new york times is an extreme liberal publication?
this story is dead…hopefully along with the editor who okayed it for print.
Sinclair has not passed a lie detector test.
Are people expecting perfection in a human being? What the hell are we looking for in a president? If Jesus Christ himself were alive, someone would assassinate his character, too. McCain is a good person, just human. No one is claiming that he's perfect. Are you perfect?
This is journalism? There is no evidence, everyone denies it happened…the paper's editor was even unsure if he should run it because it was so weak. This is like the national enquirer. I am no McCain fan, but this is really lame.
Why dont you stop trying to push you politics on everyone you fat POS! Your the biggest sellout out of all celebs. You purple haired freak.
food for thought:
The New York Times ENDORSED John McCain, and now that he has basicly secured the nomination they release this "damaging" article…. on the candidate that they ENDORSED…and they've been sitting on it since before Giuliani even dropped out…They have no proof, no credible sourcing, both parties involved have denied the story… it's just your typical left wing dirty politics. They failed to mention the many times that this woman went to John McCain for help and he said no… he's a decent and honorable man who has tried to do the right thing throughout his career… they have no real dirt on him… so they have to make shit up. Love you Perez but… come on… it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the New York Times is trying to sabotage the republican candidate…
Go Republicans… New York Times …. printing trash as always
Re: Jess – Actually the NYT endorsed Hillary. She's is close friends with the publishers and editors there.
Re: Jess – Actually the NYT endorsed Hillary. It's known she's close friends with the editors and publishers there.
That's all they could come up with?
The New York Times has engaged (once again) in an underhanded smear campaign making false accusations that have no substantiating proof. They claim that it's from an "anonymous" source. Sounds like the same thing that Dan Rather did to Bush- reporting flase stories. Those journalists should be fired! If there were any truth to this story why aren't other newspapers and journalists writing about this? Why only the NY Times?- Kind of makes you wonder. The NY Times is equivalent to the National Enquirer- who really believes all the articles that they reand there?
First of all this story is totally Fake! And perez is trying to play it off as a damaging story! Stop being so bias!
Re: GRAMPA CUNT GOT BUSTED!! – oh my go you are a disgusting human being, please kill yourself.
There is no proof to that story and the women who was named for supposedly being with him even denies it happened. Screw the Times and GO McCAIN!!!!
Reading these posts just shows how truly ignorant some of you fools are. First of all if you were in another country and in iraq you wouldnt even have the freedom to write your posts against the military, you'd be shot and executed..so you can THANK THE TROUPS for your freedoms you ungrateful piece of shit.
You think this war is unwarrented??? Do you even remember 9/11…our war has protected us from having another attack just like it, but you people are so stupid it would take another 9/11 for you to Snap out of it. Then you'll want the miliatrys protection..keep living in your lala land.
#155 Chris: When does Obama address issue?? Yeah right he sounds like a Baptist Preacher going on and on making blanket statements that never adress any issues. He'll withdrawl the troups and then terrorists will be free to attack us again and Obama will be having tea and scones with Bin Laden
And to ALL OF YOU TALKING SHIT ABOUT MCCAIN BEING A POW….I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU HELD CAPTIVE FOR 5YRS, BEING TORTURED BY HAVING YOUR BONES BROKEN AND CIGARETTES BEING PUT OUT ALL OVER YOUR BODY…YOU WOULDNT LAST A FUCKING DAY YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECES OF SHIT. IT AMAZES ME HOW MANY PEOPLE GO ON AND ON ABOUT FREEDOM AND THEN SLAP THE FACES OF ALL THE MILITARY WHO FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOMS..GET THE FUCK OUT AND GO LIVE IN IRAQ AND YOU'LL BE BEGGING TO BE BACK IN AMERICA.
If Obama"Hussein" gets elected as president start building the bomb shelters!!
the New York Times has an "incriminating" article about McCain? wow, what a surprise… NOT. Please, I don't even know if I believe in the Times anymore, even though I don't support McCain at all.
the new york slimes is a comeplely uncredible news paper and this is more damamging to their reputation that mcain. no one has any repsect left for them and no one cares what they have to say. if voting him before was not going to be my choice- after reading this artice it is indefinate!
Ugh. No one cares about Repubs…
Too bad its not all that juicy. At least with Clinton, there were actual Women. With Mccain- you have disgruntled staffers, no actual women, no actual evidence, merely a suspician. Its unsubstantial
Really Perez? I know you're gay, so you're obviously going to go for Clinton, or the Muslim..but REALLLLLYYY??? This is not only false, but it goes against the reason I come to your site! I can watch CNN for political views…stick to Britney & Winehouse..:]
I would think that the Times' embarrasment by this article and the response to your post would tell you something.
What's wrong with all of you? Are you kidding? I'm no Huge McCain Fan, but this crap is worse then the rumors people spread in High School. A major newspaper printing a story with ugly rumors from two ANONYMOUS sources ( How convenient) with NO proof….just rumors.
They even got slammed by Democrats and people that work at their own newspapers…
Come on America…please say you are all smarter then this.
I don't care who you are…if someone is going to spread rumors based on ugly gossip…I'm going to say thumbs down on that.
It is too easy for people who don't like you to spread lies and then get to hide in the dark like roaches. If they say it's true? Come on out of hiding and show your face!!!!!
They won't. Cowards don't come out into the light.
Am I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS CRAP HAPPEN TO THEM??? i CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO EAGER TO SUPPORT THE KIND OF STUFF THAT COULD SO EASISY HAPPEN TO YOU!!!!
What if someone at work got to spread rumors about you under a cloak of secrecy?
No wonder the NYTimes is going broke.
Amazing to me that now days you can write whatever you want to and not have to have any real proof, sources, documentation, etc. to support your allegations!!!! There are no facts in the article, just a lot of supposition and purported tales from unknown 'staffers'.
Are the Dems so worried about losing that they throw this crap out as a stop stick to McCain's campaign?
