(CNN) – Parts of a 2007 infomercial that features Arizona Senate hopeful J.D. Hayworth are hitting Arizona airwaves today – but this time as part of a McCain campaign ad that slams Hayworth over his involvement with a company called National Grants Conferences.
Hayworth, a radio host and former congressman, recorded the infomercial in 2007. The ad promised free information about "hundreds of billions of dollars in government funding" to individuals who attend a conference on the topic.

It dosen’t help that Glenn Beck is saying that this ad is the end of JD’s campaign.
McCain has to go. It really ticks me off that he’s fighting JD harder than he ever fought Obummer!
I almost bought into that until I remembered...
What campaign? LOL
I cannot wait to see McCain disinvited from the next Congress.
You of course know where John was during the election: He rushed back to Washington to facilitate the government bailout. Just another insider working hard to excuse government messes with your and my $$$. The real "Huckster" couldn't wait to grandstand this issue and try to make political hay. A principled conservative would have said, "No way. The cure is worse than the disease." Now they're spending like there is no tomorrow. Traitors! Oathbreakers! I'm sick of the lot. They've got to go.
FUJM!
All the Huckabigot food groups .
JD took a job. He needed to support his wife and kids since John McCain and his minions gerririgged his district in order to get rid of him because he opposed amnesty. Would McCain have liked it better if JD had collected unemployment while he was looking for a job. Taking an honorable announcers gig sounds perfectly OK to me.
Strange. I don’t remember McCain ever going negative on Obama.
McCain HAPPY to launch attacks against republicans or conservatives. But against American-hating, Marxist thugs?
I have no use for McCain, but JD Hayworth is no hero, and this was not an “honorable announcers gig.”
He lent his credibility as a former Congressman to a couple of scam artists who lie to people for $1,000 a pop.
And during his part of the schlocky video, Hayworth made it sound like these grants are available to just any individual who wants to “invest in yourself.”
This information about federal grants is public, and this outfit was selling snake oil. There’s nothing honorable about facilitating a rip-off.
If I lived in Arizona, I’d still pull the lever for Hayworth, but that doesn’t mean I approve of what he did. If he’s smart, he’ll get this race back focused on issues.
"But Keating was more than a constituent to McCain--he was a longtime friend and associate. McCain met Keating in 1981 at a Navy League dinner in Arizona where McCain was the speaker. Keating was a former naval aviator himself, and the two men became friends. Keating raised money for McCain's two congressional campaigns in 1982 and 1984, and for McCain's 1986 Senate bid. By 1987, McCain campaigns had received $112,000 from Keating, his relatives, and his employees--the most received by any of the Keating Five. (Keating raised a total of $300,000 for the five senators.)
After McCain's election to the House in 1982, he and his family made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, three of which were to Keating's Bahamas retreat. McCain did not disclose the trips (as he was required to under House rules) until the scandal broke in 1989. At that point, he paid Keating $13,433 for the flights.
And in April 1986, one year before the meeting with the regulators, McCain's wife, Cindy, and her father invested $359,100 in a Keating strip mall."
“It dosen’t help that Glenn Beck is saying that this ad is the end of JD’s campaign.”
Seriously! After declaring JD’s campaign dead he then had the nerve to say he doesn’t want to interfere in primaries. The least he could have done was temper his comments against Hayworth by listing some of the actual atrocities perpetrated by McCain.
I don't think Viagra does eunuchs any good.
I don't see anything wrong with JD's "gig". He needed the work and was under a false investigation that immediately went away the minute the elections were over. It probably would have been wonderful if he could have turned it down, but he was swimming in debt from the elections and nobody would hire him while he was under investigation. So you stay on your high horse, I just hope you never have to walk in his shoes.
The commercial keeps running on FOX here... a few times over the last hour or so (I’m only semi-listening). It’s sickening.
We have that turkey dead-to-rights, don’t we?
Oh cry me a river.
I’m not on a high horse, and I will never be in JD’s shoes, because I’m not going into debt to finance a political campaign.
However, I have been through tough times where things looked bleak.
What did I do to provide for my family? I went out and found honest work.
And it never occurred to me that I was entitled to be a U.S. Senator just because the incumbent was a RINO sellout.
I happen to think he found honest work. If you don’t, that’s your problem. JD doesn’t think he’s “entitled” to be a senator, that would be Senator Buttwipe, the RINO who thinks he’s entitled and will lie, cheat and steal to get there.
