“Conservative” Jack Wheeler is a lying, dishonorable hack
- Posted by Beth on February 4th, 2008 filed in 2008 election, Candidates, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Moonbats, Politics, Stupid, WTF, Why is this guy still alive? fraud · liars
This has to be the most disgraceful thing I’ve seen yet–worse than Ann Coulter, worse than the con artists at VVAM, worse than I don’t know what.
Witness the ownage on this Jack Wheeler scumbag–from a Romney supporter, no less.
A few days ago, an article came to our attention claiming that there was evidence that John McCain collaborated with the communists during his captivity. The article was detailed and specific…and it appears to have been a complete fabrication and libel.
[...]
In our post on this, we also said that if this article were untrue, its author, Dr. Jack Wheeler, should be shunned from public discourse. Well, it’s untrue.Unless he has a damn good explanation for why he wrote this…or he is completely and abjectly apologetic, he really should never be taken seriously ever again.
I doubt this Jack Wheeler jerk will retract; if he were the type to do so, he’d have not written that trash in the first place.
I’d love to see Jack Wheeler get sued for libel, but I know it won’t happen. People make all sorts of absurd allegations about politicians, knowing they’ll never have to face consequences.
If you’re a reader of To The Point (this is the first I’d heard of it, or of Jack Wheeler) I would urge you to reconsider doing so, knowing that what this beclowned liar does. He’s nothing but a pathetic liar. Much more about these lies at the Pink Flamingo.
Kudos to the Modern Conservative for doing the right thing–I know there are plenty of McCain’s rivals who would print it without a second thought. In fact, some idiots have posted it. I laugh at their shattered credibility (not that Pamela had much anyway).
I’ll be updating the list of gullible fools who post that trash as I find them, too. Credibility counts.
UPDATE: HAHAHA, Pamela (”Atlas”) is deleting comments! You can’t handle the truth, Pamela! Pretty funny–I guess she doesn’t want her simpering sycophants in the comments to know the truth because it doesn’t fit in with her narrative of lies. Oh well, I guess when you can’t think of anything good to say about your own candidate (hell, I can think of good things to say about Romney; she’s just stupid!), and you don’t have enough reason to not vote for McCain, you’ve gotta go with libel. Heh. Love the commenter there that says they should blackmail McCain, too. Pammycakes deletes my comment, but lets that one stay. Priceless.
UPDATE 2 (but I’m nowhere near finished with this Wheeler chump or his con artist buddies): Ed Morrissey lets Jack Wheeler have it.
See that, you desperate, gullible sheep bloggers (listed above and at Pink Flamingo, and probably elsewhere)? That’s how it’s done. Captain Ed and Modern Conservative are BOTH Romney supporters, and they have the integrity to reject this despicable smear campaign. Yet some of you pathetic chump bloggers want to believe anything. Losers.
I’ll bet this Wheeler creep is pals with Ted Sampley. I was told in an email by someone who has known Wheeler for 20+ years that “he has a long history as being intimately involved with US freedom fighting efforts. (Charlie Wilson was his best man.)”
I smell Ted Sampley all over this lie–it’s pretty much the same crap he spews. Be sure to click the links, too–the guy is a fraud. A con artist who makes his living preying on the hopes of POW/MIA families, still, after 35 years. His whole schtick is that John McCain and John F’n Kerry (whom I detest, as you probably know, but not because of Ted Sampley’s crap) “covered up” evidence of “live sightings” in Vietnam. I call BULLSHIT. I challenge anyone to dare say I don’t support the military, especially in favor of politicians–and especially in favor of John F’n Kerry. But this guy, making a living off of families, dragging out their last hopes for decades, taking their money…there is nothing lower than that kind of scum. And worse, he’s managed to infect the public with this hoax. It’s not partisan, it’s simply fraud and conspiracy theory. That’s what you get when you start looking around the fringe, though.
In January 2008 McCain won the Republican primary election in New Hampshire and immediately Sampley’s propaganda machine cranked up. Sampley is the sponsor (with his identity concealed, of course) of a website named “Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain.” On this website he repeats his many lies about McCain and he has added a few, accusing McCain of covering up evidence of US POW’s still held in SEAsia long after the end of the Vietnam War.
Because the mainstream press does not check facts as they should, you can expect some of Sampley’s crap to be reported as fact. And, because Sampley is closely tied to several far-right-wing Republicans who do not like McCain, you can expect his nonsense to be spread through such outlets as Newsmax and the Sciafe newspapers.
Yeah, and stupid McCain-deranged bloggers will obviously eat it up, too. I guess so far, Sampley’s only been able to shop this crap out to Jack Wheeler. Losers.
As far as I’m concerned, anyone who spews this trash isn’t fit to beg to shine John McCain’s shoes–or those of his fellow POWs. One is free to disagree with his politics, but this is as abhorrent, dishonorable, and evil as it gets.
Laney says:
This kind of slander was just fine with y’all when it was aimed at Kerry.
Beth says:
Uh, Laney? Piss off. You can look through MY archives and see I didn’t make accusations pushed by Ted Sampley. My issue is with his POST-WAR activities (lies) and his refusal, to this day, to come clean on his discharge. I make no apologies for that–especially his bullshit “testimony” about his brothers in arms (”Genghis Khan?” Remember that?). I guess you can’t POSSIBLY understand that, can you? Dumbass.
And for the record? Kerry is implicated right alongside McCain with regard to Sampley’s charges of “covering up” evidence of live POWs. I’d say the same thing to anyone if it were brought up against him (but it wasn’t, except for among the irrelevant conspiracy-theory fringe). I guess you didn’t read the posts linked to know what the absurd accusation was, though, did you? Moron. Typical, bed-wetting, illiberal moron.
Lord Bitememan says:
Laney, let me clarify the difference between a fair and an unfair attack:
When the Swiftvets brought up Kerry’s testimony stateside bashing his fellow vets, that was a fair attack.
When they questioned his service, particularly his injuries and his valor in combat, that was a disgrace.
Take a guess which this most resmbles, meditate upon that, and chime in again when you have obtained a “clue.”
PaulW says:
Regarding comments about any possible libel/slander suit: It has amazed me time and again that so much lying about other candidates and politicians go on anymore, that there hasn’t been any lawsuits in years. Even though there’s so much at stake, above all the truth. I’d asked dozens of legal experts about it, and only one ever answered back: he told me libel lawsuits anymore are too cost-prohibitive, and most politicians just let the lie slide and hope it fades away by the next news-cycle (which it doesn’t).
Just look at the father of a Marine whose son’s funeral was the target of that Phelps’ church. He took a stand, took Phelps to court for defamation, and he won. Forget the money, ’cause Phelps and his ilk will continue to act like idiots: what mattered here was that the Marine’s family established their son’s honor and dignity, which still means something for a lot of people. If more politicians both Dem and GOP stood up, actually stood for the truth and for honor, there’d be less lying out there, less BS in the media, better reporting, better focus on the facts and on what people need to know.
Apologies for the rant. Arguing for the truth gets my German/Irish up.
funky chicken says:
Thank you Beth. With my husband in the sandbox I can’t deal with these bastards as well as you can. Beautiful job. I didn’t realize you were the bamapachyderm! We’re living in lovely AL also and travel the state quite a bit with kid activities. I used my real email; if you still live in AL, drop me a line. It would be fun to do lunch!
BTW, some of the losers were posting links to this garbage over at Rachel Lucas’s place last night. All I could manage was outrage.

Jack Wheeler is Speading Lies About John McCain…
Its been really amazing to me to watch the vehement animosity with which some conservatives have gone after John McCain. I would have expected that from far left socialists democrats, but not from what I generally think of as more practical and logical…
Terrye says:
Laney:
My problem with Kerry had to do with the stuff he said over here, not the stuff he might have said or done over there.
And the Swift Boat guys did at least try to back up their claims, these idiots just shoot their mouths off.
And btw, McCain actually came to Kerry’s defense in spite of the fact that it pissed off some conservatives.
newton says:
Preach it!
I can’t vote in a primary until March 4 (TX), and when that happens, I’ll cast a vote for Romney. Having said that, I think Wheeler’s attacks on McCain are disgusting. I think those accusations come from the pits of Hell.
Wheeler should be made to answer to that, and made as a public example.
Sarah says:
Oh, get a grip. I’ve yet to see you frothing at the mouth like a leftist when McCain attacks his oponents and conservatives or is caught lying once again.
Beth says:
Oh, right, Sarah, what McCain says is just like this, isn’t it? Well, I guess when viewed through the prism of hatred it is. Yay for moral equivalence!!!11! Stupid bint.
What’s funny is I AM A CONSERVATIVE. Funny I don’t have my feewings hurt by anything he’s said. Where did all these thin-skinned crybabies on the right come from? What are you, a thirteen year-old girl with PMS?
Care to name a time McCain was “caught lying?”
I take it you’re defending this Wheeler/Sampley shit? Why not come out and say you believe it since you apparently do, Psycho?
Beth says:
And by the way, Sarah, I’ve yet to see you here at all. Yes, I checked through old comments. So basically, you have yet to see me “frothing at the mouth like a leftist” about anything. LOL.

Oh, looky. Another idiot who wants to chase down conspiracy theories. ^^
Jeremy says:
Jack Wheeler is the Alex Jones of the GOP. If I wanted to read crap like his, I’d visit Infowars.
OldGuy says:
There’s plenty of reasons out there for people to oppose McCain, but these unsubstantiated accusations ain’t one of them.
Oppose him for his congressional record, his temperament, hell even if you dislike the way he looks. But baseless undocumented allegations?
That’s the cowards way out.
