"On the eve of the 35th anniversary of John McCain's release from Vietnam, the comments by Naomi Wolf attacking his honor and patriotism are incredibly troubling and completely unacceptable. John McCain is an American hero, and a patriot who has served our country in a way few can understand and fully appreciate. Our Nation's POWs - past and present - are heroes that should be respected and honored for their service to our country and the traumatic experience they endured - NOT attacked because of it! Wolf's comments further demonstrate that the anti-war extremists like MoveOn.org are moving further from mainstream Americans every single day. Families United demands that MoveOn.org immediately denounce Wolf and apologize to Senator John McCain and the American people. In addition, Barack Obama should immediately reject MoveOn.org and their political support of his candidacy."< /P>





Naomi Wolf is a judge in an ad contest with MoveOn.org. "Actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are among the celebrities teaming up with the MoveOn.org political organization to sponsor an 'Obama in 30 Seconds' ad contest, in which Obama backers are urged to submit 30-second video spots in praise of their candidate. The best ad will be shown on national television, MoveOn.org says. Others involved in the project: film director Oliver Stone, musician John Legend, author Naomi Wolf, actor Steve Buscemi and activist Jesse Jackson." (Chicago Tribune, March 14, 2008)



Naomi Wolf: "We're looking increasingly at a police state and the American people are asking about this and I have to say with great disappointment, the major media figures who are asking both Obama and Clinton and McCain the tough questions aren't even going there. They are not even saying to McCain, you were tortured, you were held prisoner, you gave information under duress in enemy hands. And you allowed them to create loopholes in the Military Commissions Act that you passed in 2006. What happened with that?" (MSNBC, March 14, 2008)
