JibJab ‘Campaignin’ Video References Charges That POW ‘Songbird’ McCain Cooperated with His Captors

It never came up in the GOP primaries. The mainstream media won’t dare mention it. Even John McCain’s most liberal opponents won’t go there. But leave it to equal opportunity offenders brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis and their animation team at JibJab to introduce into the 2008 presidential campaign the allegations that John McCain cooperated with the enemy when he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Not that most people will notice it. The reference comes about one minute into the group’s latest campaign video, “Time for Some Campaignin’,” when the McCain character sings that he “spent years in a rat hole in North Vietnam” over animated graphics showing him swinging in a bird cage — a reference to the fact that McCain’s accusers refer to him as “Songbird.”

A charge as heinous as collaborating with the enemy may sound like liberal revenge for the Swiftboating of John Kerry by Republicans in 2004, but the allegations against McCain come from conservatives, notably including former Rep. Bob Dornan of California and former Sen. Bob Smith of New Hampshire, both of whom are Republicans.

  1. You know, it’s been dirt obvious to me since I first encountered him that he was broken at the Hanoi Hilton. It was dirt obvious to the VA! They put him on 100% disability. But somehow people think it makes them better humans if they don’t mention his mental defects… right into the House of Representatives, on up into the Senate, and now making his run for the grand prize. NEVER MIND THAT THE ONLY WAY HE WINS IN NOVEMBER WILL BE THROUGH ELECTION FRAUD. He’s gotten this far because people are busier trying to think well of themselves than to uphold our country, our very CONSTITUTION.

    What in the hell is wrong with everybody?

  2. Like I posted earlier,

    John McCain:
    The Manchurian Candidate connection:

    McCain was subjected to 5 ½ years of Soviet driven “brain perversion techniques.”
    Is he fit to be President and Commander in Chief of the military?

    And

    […] a former AP reporter who recounted to me seeing John McCain wander off into the Red Light District of Hanoi in 1996 when he was there to normalize relations with the Vietnamese. Or that it was known among reporters that he used to disappear into that part of town alone at night.

    Can we trust the dood?
