    McCain Associations To Keating, Racists, & Others

     
    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." 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." McCain sat on the board of a very right wing organization, the U.S. Council for World Freedom, led by a retired Army Maj. General named John Singlaub. The Anti-Defamation League allegedly called the CWF's parent organization a gathering place for racists and anti-Semites. Other negative associations for McCain are his long-time South Carolina consultant, Richard Quinn, a publisher of a Southern heritagte magazine, and John Hagee, a pastor whose endorsement McCain solicited and later rejected. John McCain actively sought the endorsement of Pastor Hagee prior to the Texas primary, without giving two craps about who he was. Both McCain and his allies give speeches (see AIPAC and others) with Pastor Hagee. Then there's McCains Buddy Gordon Liddy and McCain's association with Sarah Palin and her association with the Alaska Independence Party. Does Sarah really support the US if she supports Alaska independence? What does this say about McCains loyalties. What about McCain's collaboration with Hanoi and his Russian interrogators? http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1157559-McCain-Associations-To-Keating-Racists-amp-Others
