The folks John McCain associates himself with, John Singlaub: Iran Contra Affair, Charles Keating: convicted in state court in 1992 of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and received a 10-year prison sentence. G. Gordon Liddy: Convicted Felon: Member of the Plumbers, Watergate. Relationship with Senator John McCain Over the years, Liddy has made four contributions totaling $5,000 to Senator John McCain's campaigns -- including $1,000 in 2007. In November 2007 Senator John McCain, 2008 Presidential candidate, went on Liddy's radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain replied. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family... It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." Advice to listeners: Liddy is noted for controversial advice to his radio audience, including on one occasion in 1994, after the federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, Liddy advised his listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests. ... Kill the sons of bitches.

Richard Quinn: from the many years he rejected a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday (pretty much the entire 70s and 80s) to his serial flip-flops on the Confederate Flag in 2000 to his close association with a white supremacist named Richard Quinn, who found himself hired as a political advisor by McCain in 2000 (and still is from what I can tell) after openly praising David Duke (he called him a "maverick") selling t-shirts praising the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and writing/editing for a magazine (Southern Partisan) that reminded us that slave masters just really weren't all that bad.

So can we hold McCain responsible for his terrible associations?

I didn't mention McVeigh or Nichols, the only way to sit on a "board" with them would be to hang with members of White Supremacists. I said John Singlaub (he has money since this is your issue) G. Gordon Liddy, has money, Quinn has money, Keating had money. Quinn is a white supremacist, he was a McCain adviser in 2000 and seemingly currently is. I certainly didn't say John McCain hangs out with McVeigh, or Nichols. Ayers didn't have money when he was a 60's radical. But for you it is money, they take your beef to the Annenberg foundation, The Walter Annenberg foundation, that funded the board these folks sat on. Have you ever sat on a board, do you pal around with the board members?

I say it is a red herring, I in fact don't care who John McCain pals around with because his judgment is exceedingly bad, he runs around like a child, yelling fire fire, don't look at me look over here, I has permeated his campaign, might I add his poorly run campaign.

Today according to Karen Tumulty at Swampland this happened:

"With so much at stake, and time running short, [Virginia Republican Party Chairman Jeff] Frederick did not feel he had the luxury of subtlety. He climbed atop a folding chair to give 30 campaign volunteers who were about to go canvassing door to door their talking points — for instance, the connection between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden: "Both have friends that bombed the Pentagon," he said. "That is scary." It is also not exactly true — though that distorted reference to Obama's controversial association with William Ayers, a former 60s radical, was enough to get the volunteers stoked. "And he won't salute the flag," one woman added, repeating another myth about Obama. She was quickly topped by a man who called out, "We don't even know where Senator Obama was really born." Actually, we do; it's Hawaii."

McCain and his campaign are stirring the pot, inciting people to violence. He needs to take responsibility. No amount of saying But Barack Obama hangs with terrorists is going to change what they are doing. Sowing the seeds of hate. He has to own, whether or not you believe it.

And then there was this, Yesterday at a McCain campaign rally: Before McCain's arrival, a minister delivering an invocation said, "There are plenty of people around the world who are praying to their god, be they Hindu, Buddah, or Allah, that (McCain's) opponent wins. I pray that you step forward and honor your own name."

Sowing the seeds of hate.

And then there is this: (Remember her, crazy grandma)Quinnel says she obtained the information on Obama being an Arab at "her local library" and from a pamphlet obtained at a local McCain campaign office (provided by a fellow volunteer not the campaign itself). She has taken it upon herself to redistribute the information as widely as possible by making copies of the pamphlet and sending it to random names in the phone book.

This is an interview between Quinnel and Adam Aigner of ABC news.

Again: The McCain campaign, sowing the seeds of hate.

You've come to the wrong place to spread your propaganda. I suggest you head to Gayle Quinnels hometown of Shakopee, Minnesota, they seem very susceptible to it there.

As usual Klytus we agree!
