Is McCain a Manchurian Candidate?

McCain, the presumptive Republican candidate for President, who could one day have his finger on the "red button," claims the communists subjected him to 5 ½ years of nonstop indoctrination sessions so intense that he attempted suicide.

Unfortunately for McCain, after his bomber was hit by anti-aircraft fire near Hanoi on October 26, 1967, he parachuted into the hands of an evil communist enemy who 7 years earlier had adopted Soviet methods of prisoner interrogation.

At that time, the Soviets were perfecting techniques designed "to put a man's mind into a fog so that he will mistake what is true for what is untrue, what is right for what is wrong, and come to believe what did not happen actually had happened."

John McCain: The Manchurian Connection

We know the communists were using brainwashing methods around that time. The classic US studies on brainwashing were in response to Korean POWs, and due to his father's position McCain would be a prime candidate. While he may have recovered somewht from the experience, it is unclear how much sway the indoctrination still holds on him.

What would happen if a Vietnamese manchurian candidate became president of the United States. This looks pretty scary. You can read more at Vietname Veteran's against Mccain
