Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

What’s Good For The Goose

by @ 7:59 am on October 10, 2008.

In light of the McCain campaign’s focus on William Ayers, Steve Benan takes a look at some of John McCain’s friends:

[A]s long as we’re on the subject, McCain’s associations continue to be increasingly interesting as well. We’ve known for a while that McCain has befriended a convicted felon who advised his supporters on how best to shoot federal officials, used the money of a convicted criminal to help buy a house, befriended a radical anti-Catholic televangelist, befriended a radical anti-American televangelist, was a long-time associate of Charles Keating, and hired for his campaign the publisher of a Confederate nostalgia magazine who has described Nelson Mandela as a “terrorist.” This week, we also learned about McCain serving on the board of the extremist U.S. Council for World Freedom, where he worked alongside Iran-Contra figures, and a eugenics researcher studying “white superiority.”

As someone might ask, who is the real John McCain ?

Of course, we could take another route. Ignore all the nonsense about people the respective candidates may have known in the past and talk about actual issues.

How about it ?
