The Real McCain

Worried about the McCain/Palin bump in the polls? Looking for a way to put that nervous energy to useful effect? Our friends at Brave New Films have been busy documenting the GOP ticket’s perfidies and distortions in a series of timely videos exposing the real McCain as a out-of-touch double talker who supports a costly war in Iraq but won’t support our veterans when they come home.

This first video in the series — the Real McCain — has reached an astonishing four million views on YouTube.

Worried about the McCain/Palin bump in the polls? Looking for a way to put that nervous energy to useful effect? Our friends at Brave New Films have been busy documenting the GOP ticket’s perfidies and distortions in a series of timely videos exposing the real McCain as a out-of-touch double talker who supports a costly war in Iraq but won’t support our veterans when they come home.

This first video in the series — the Real McCain — has reached an astonishing four million views on YouTube.

There are now four subsequent videos in this vein. Watch them all here. If you want to help spread the word on the RealMcCain, join the McCain Truth Squad and each week Brave New Films will send McCain videos for you to forward on with a personal note to your friends, colleagues and family members.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
