Tipsheet Former POW Hits McCain Matt Lewis | September 15, 2008 11:26 AM This ad is interesting -- and will probably get some play -- inasmuch as it shows a former POW criticizing McCain and saying, "the prisoner of war experience is not a good prerequisite for the presidency of the United States."I'm told this fellow, Phillip Butler, defended John Kerry's anti-war activity back in '04. According to this, he also denies that John Kerry's testimony in '71 had a negative effect on the treatment of fellow POWs.
