I believe we ought to be above this sort of behavior in any event. But even in practical terms, isn’t this kind of attack politics just doing McCain’s work for him? Does anyone here really prefer McCain and his policies to Obama and his? If Clinton has strengths that make her the better candidate (I prefer her health plan, for instance), then by all means her supporters should push them. But calling the other candidate names (particularly over something so unrelated to policy) — I just don’t see that it accomplishes anything positive.

Although we were not able to reach Payne directly, Payne’s son, Richard Payne, said his father “definitely served in the 89th Infantry Division” and confirmed that Obama’s account was substantially accurate, except for identifying the wrong concentration camp. Richard Payne declined to say anything further.

Researchers confirmed to PolitiFact that Army personnel records for Payne would have been destroyed in a 1973 fire that consumed many such archives, but they dug up a “Morning Report” dated April 11, 1945, showing Pfc. Charles T. Payne was assigned to the 355th Regiment Infantry, Company K. The Records Center provided a copy of the report. A faxed copy provided to PolitiFact was legible enough for us to make out Payne’s information, but the faxed photocopy of the record is too grainy to be of use if posted here.

You can post your apology below. Assuming you have any honor at all.

Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf. Mr. Payne was there.

For those who seek to minimize the horrors of Ohrdruf since it was a ‘work’ camp and not a ‘death’ camp, we have but one word: shame. Ironically, this argument has been made to us time and time again by various Holocaust-deniers and other pro-Nazi groups. We will let the testimony of survivors and veterans speak for themselves.

So I guess you all owe Obama, Uncle Charlie and the vets of WWII an apology. You can start below.

In the meantime, Hillary continues to duck from sniper fire in Bosnia…

1. I hope that any young lady who meets you is on birth control, regardless of what happens to roe v. wade … which Senator McCain is not threatening.

Are 2 and 3 blatant lies also? I stopped reading after you opened with that big honkin’ whopper.

I’m thinking you’re maybe 23 tops and this is the first election you have ever paid attention to. Here are some answers not in any order:

1. I hope that any young lady who meets you is on birth control, regardless of what happens to roe v. wade … which Senator McCain is not threatening. When Senator Obama used the expression “punished with a baby,” he pretty much lost me.

2. Larry edits out people as vulgar as you usually. That is why this site is now going to registration.

3. The only “closeness” of their platforms is when he sits next to her and repeats what she says. Since you aren’t a Democrat of any long standing, I’m going to bet that you don’t know that lots of people marched to guarantee the right to vote. People died. Democrats don’t advocate disenfranchising voters. That is the “no go” as far as I am concerned with Senator Obama.

I have been polite and considerably more sane with you than you have been. Why don’t you take your arguments back to the “usual” places you frequent and complain about Senator Clinton’s supporters there where everyone will use the crude language with which you are comfortable and pat you on the back?

Buh-bye.
