Missouri Senate - McCaskill ad bogus?

Claire McCaskill, Democratic nominee for Senate from Missouri who claimed George Bush killed black people in New Orleans, unleashes another whopper: a campaign ad claiming an injured Iraq War vet couldn't see a VA doctor for six months after his return. The problem is, well, um, there is no verification of that claim at all, and the vet in question is ducking reporters who ask.

The whole sordid tale is at Gateway Pundit.

Came back with a broken ankle.
Didn't get to see a doctor for 6 months.
Praised their mental health program.
Complained about how they treated his ankle.

What conclusions can we draw?

1. He didn't see a 'doctor' for his ankle, just an RA or nurse. But since he complained about the treatment, it means he did see somebody.

2. He didn't see a 'doctor' for his Post War Syndrome. But he praised that service, so he must have seen somebody qualified to help him.

3. He had no VA health care for six months and removed the cast himself and coped mentally by himself, or went to a private health care provider.

4. He's not telling the truth.

Sadly, the ST Louis MSM is spiking the story. A producer in the newsroom at KMOX 1120 AM Radio in St. Louis (kmox.com) openly told me they have "other things higher priority" than this.

Scrapiron:

As a dis-abled Vet I hate to call another vet a liar, but 'if' and that's a big 'if' a vet told the slime ball congressman that he's is a liar.

Service connected (even from the hated "by the anti-american communist crowd" war in Vietnam) dis-ability personnel get priority treatment at all vet facilities.

There is only one reason a vet would lie about this, he carries a "D' after his name. Are the democrats proud of turning a good number of other wise honest people into liars?
