Is it true that John McCain fathered an illegitimate black child?

Question

I read it in the Washington post yesterday. The kid is susposed to be 2 and living in SC with the mother. It also said that he offered her 10,000 dollars to have an abortion!

Answer 1

Sure, and he named him Barrack.  LOL

No, this is untrue, but they did adopt a girl from Mother Theresa's orphanage.  They also give big $$ to charity.  The Obama's, on the other hand, give less than 1% of their income to charity.  They figure why should they give to charity when they can just tax the american people to death and "help the poor" that way??  

Answer 2

Looks like a low blow. Why not ? After all McCain lied outrageously about Obama and as such open himself to the same treatment.

Answer 3

It's ridiculous to insinuate that John McCain, A WAR HERO, would ever have an extra-marital affair or attempt to bribe a woman into having an abortion.  

John McCain learned the true value of human life during his five years as a prisoner of war, and the Washington Post should be ashamed of itself for making such baseless accusations.

Answer 4

h**l no!

Answer 5

He and Cindy do have such a child, they adopted her. Great American family; the McCain's. Also, he has two sons serving in the military.

Answer 6

No, thats something Karl Rove made up in order help Bush defeat McCain in the 2000 Republican South Carolina primary.

So what does McCain do in 2008?? He hires Karl Rove's staff to create those same style attacks on Obama.

Talk about throwing any morals or ethics out of the window. That's how bad McCain wants to be president.

Answer 7

No. but thanks for spinning.

Answer 8

This is untrue. This rumor was begun by the Bush campaign during the 2000 Republican primaries as a smear of McCain. McCain does have an adopted child from Asia.

Answer 9

No - I am an Obama supporter and I won't let that one get by. that is an outright lie. I live in South Carolina - that was the tactic that Karl rove used in the 2000 election that derailed McCains bid for presidency. McCain was leading Bush substantially and would ahve been our President abck in 2000, but that lie turned the tide. He and His wife adopted a Cambodian Child. But karl had people call registered voters and aks questions like "Would you still vote for McCain if you knew He fathered and Illegitimate Balck Child?" never actually saying HE DID, but planting the idea and then they saw him on stage with asmall darrk skinned child.

Se the Republican's do eat their own - McCain Should have been President in 2000

Answer 10

“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, {fathered an illegitimate black child} is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.

Answer 11

Not true.  However he and his wife did adopt a child of color, many years ago.  Nice try though.

Answer 12

You wish! That would really send the democrats on a witch hunt. I've just got to laugh , excuse me.

Answer 13

Not true.  Stories like that will become more frequent and more vicious as long as McCain continues to pose a threat to Obama's election.  The media is in the tank for the latter.

Answer 14

No, it is not true and you didn't read it in the Washington Post yesterday. It is a slander perpetrated by Karl Rove during the 2000 Republican presidential primary race.
