Obama wants to go after the Keating Five connection, but believes Wright & his association with terrorists is irrelevant.

McCain's press buddies are going to turn on him big time. Having tossed overboard every conservative he can find, who will rise to his defense?

Unfortunately, so does McCain

There is no Keating Five scandal for McCain. The Senate Judiciary Chief Counsel said McCain was innocent of all allegations, and should never have been charged, and is now supporting McCain.

Keating Five? It's 20 years old and already has been reported to death.

If that's the best you got, kid, you're headed to McGovern territory.

Are facts relevant to the MSM? This blogger hopes not:

Ok, so McCain asks a tough question of Obama and Obama goes into hysterics about “McCain has lost his bearing” and is engaging in “the old politics” then turns right around and goes for the gutter slime politic tactics.

This hypocrisy is going to bite him right on the butt if he doesn't wake up. Cannot be “a different kind of politician” if your are going to run a getter slime political campaign of innuendo, half truth and accusation

“Bill Ayers’ radicalism? That was long ago. It’s old news. It’s divisive to talk about it. The 90+ percent of the black vote for me proves that we are beyond divisive issues. Let’s get on with the campaign. Now about McCain’s crimes. . . .”

Although McCain was censured for poor judgment, I believe that was the extent of the formal charges.

Of course, in the playbook of the dims and their co-conspirator drive bys, a 20 or 30 year "charge" is quite legitimate.

Witness the attacks on GW based on "Rather" dubious information.

The gas tax moratorium is a gimmick, it won’t produce one gallon of oil. Nobody is asking where are we going to get more oil and if we don’t how are we going to survive?

Barack, who is Hussein, Obama, is the absolute apex of the domestic enemy, subversive, anti-American movement in this country.

Polished in a prepared speech, charismatic in his presentation, nonetheless, underneath it all lies a smoldering cauldron of marxism, bigotry, and black liberation theology that is the enemy of America and its traditional values.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

One can only hope that Hussein Obama will try use that 20 year old situation where McCain has been cleared.

Then Hussein will open the doors to his $ connections to the Chicago Magia, Terrorists and Black Panthers.

Obama has already made a smarmy illusion that McCain’s problem may be that he’s getting old in a statement Obama made this week! I thought it was appalling, but didn’t hear much about it at the time other than it was noted, but not discussed. Obama’s is going to make inferences to McCain showing signs of sinility.

Actually, McCain has opened the door on Hussein Obama re his connections with Ayers:

McCain Slams Obama on Bill Ayers Connection
April 21, 2008

First it was Hillary Clinton. Now it is John McCain taking shots at Barack Obama over his relationship with 60’s radical Bill Ayers. Read more about the Ayers controversy here and watch John McCain criticize Obama about Ayers here. Read more from The Associated Press below.

McCain said he was sure Obama was “very patriotic” but said his relationship with William Ayers, a University of Illinois professor who was once part of the violent Weather Underground group, was “open to question.”

There is an error in the story. Keating’s Lincoln S & L was located in Irvine CA not AZ.

Mr. McCain is fortunate that the rat party has given him an opponent in obama who is more stupid than hillary.

Obama, the ku klux man, will give everyone a good fore-taste of America under a divisive, racist lunatic.

If we had a solid small government conservative, we could’ve seen a Reagan-style electoral sweep.

He may open that door, but as mclame has proved, he WILL NOT walk through it.

Yes, I remember. However, mclame needs to learn to keep his mouth shut....

"The Obama campaign also pointed out that the attack seemed to contradict comments made on MSNBC last month by McCain campaign senior adviser, Charlie Black, who said, "What Senator McCain has said repeatedly is that these candidates cannot be held accountable for all the views of people who endorse them or people who befriend them. ... He believes that people who endorse you, people who befriend you, are entitled to their own views, but you are not held personally accountable. That when somebody endorses you or befriends you, they're embracing your views, the candidates' views, not the other way around."
