AMERICAblog: I didn't know John McCain was on the board of an organization with ties to anti-Semites

    and don't forget about Sarah Palin! She is connected to an Alaska Secessionist group. Talking Point Memo has the goods on it and how questioning Obama's patriotism re-opens this HUGE can-o-worms for the Palins:

    Obama's response? "At least I haven't tried to get my home state, Illinois to secede from the United State of America like Sarah and Todd Palin did in Alaska!" (that is what HE SHOULD say!)

    "This is not a man who sees America as you and I do -- as the greatest force for good in the world," Palin said. "This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country."

    If Palin is going to say this, it is now perfectly legitimate to point out that she repeatedly courted a secessionist group founded by someone who openly professed hatred of the American government, cursed our flag, and wanted to secede from the Union. Sarah's husband, Todd Palin, was a member of this group, which continues to venerate that founder to this day, for years.

    Ties to anti-semite hate groups? Now that's being a maverick
    Crashing four jets and still allowed to fly? That's being a maverick
    Committing adultery on your handicapped wife with a beautiful blonde beer heiress? Mavericky
    Not knowing how many homes you own? Mavericky
    Complicit in one of the nation's largest financial scandals? Mavericky

    Obama campaign, feel free to make a commercial with this.

    I seem to recall that, during the Vietnam War, Singlaub was in charge of Project Phoenix, the Special Forces/CIA extrajudicial execution program. It was, in essence, a government-sponsored death squad.

    McCain has some very nice friends...

    Jeez Louise. The guy is so tangled up in crap, he can't move without shooting himself in the foot. Truman: "I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

    I guess if you don't like the 'jew haters' then you really won't like his ties to supporting domestic bombing of abortion clinics either!

    Oops...did I just say John McCain has ties to domestic terrorists who bombed abortion clinics? Again?

    I hope I am not repeating the obvious but McCain's team is pivoting on a Rove technique. Instead of attacking their opponent’s strength they are accusing their opponent of their weaknesses. Relationships with shady characters, violations of FEC rules, preacher problems etc.

    Maverick is just a polite way of saying reckless.
