McCain Camp Plays Ayers Card; Demands University of Illinois Stop Hiding Obama/Ayers Records
Questioning Obama's terrorist associations, which is akin to questioning his patriotism, which is therefore bad. Or something.
“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?”
—McCain spokesman Brian Rogers
I was happy when dKos and their "conservative" partner Andrew Sullivan claimed McCain lied about his Vietnam captivity. McCain often seems to believe his own crap about civility and such in politics.
But when an opponent pisses him off, he goes for the jugular, in a "dirty" way. I don't think it's dirty. But he would normally call this sort of thing dirty himself. It becomes not-dirty when his opponents, or their supporters, do dirty stuff themselves.
So thanks, Andrew Sullivan! You successfully made Bill Ayers, Bernie Dohrn, and Obama's long and fast friendship with them an issue.
