Nice try, but a person who associates himself with terrorists and virulent racists doesn't get to simply gloss over those associations when it becomes inconvenient.

The double-standard is appalling- what do you think the media would have done to a Republican candidate who hung out with an abortion-clinic bomber and went to a white-supremacist church for 20 years?

Remember David Duke? Actually, the proper response to this is to ask why no one asked McCain about his association with G. Gordon Liddy and Charles Keating.

Remember David Duke?

Yes, I do. David Duke was a marginal figure in politics, and the media hounded him for years. He never had a shot at become President

Actually, the proper response to this is to ask why no one asked McCain about his association with G. Gordon Liddy and Charles Keating.

You're comparing a guy convicted of a minor crime and a white collar criminal to a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and a virulent racist?

And McCain's connection to Liddy and Keating are nowhere near Hussein's ties to Ayers and Wright.
