McCain Thief

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, John McCain has stolen the intellectual property of numerous musicians and other artists:

  • John Mellencamp made McCain stop playing his songs at campaign events
  • Mike Myers made McCain pull a Wayne's World clip from his TV ads
  • Jackson Browne filed a lawsuit to stop Ohio Republicans from playing "Running on Empty"
  • McCain also stole from Frankie Valli, ABBA, Orleans (that's Democratic Rep. John Hall's band), and Chuck Berry
