Reading my local paper, I just noticed the AP has gone after McCain's past associations
I'm not posting this in LBN as I'm sure it was mentioned there, but, man, when Paul Begala said McCain wanted to step lightly on the guilt by association attacks, he wasn't kidding.

Again, AP story posted yesterday and in newspapers today. Here's a little taste.

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Sen. John McCain served on the advisory board to the U.S. chapter of an international group linked to ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America in the 1980s.

The U.S. Council for World Freedom also aided rebels trying to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua. That landed the group in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair and in legal trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, which revoked the charitable organization's tax exemption."

2. McNutJob has a long past to go after. Most of it is filled with
philandering, plane crashes, burning warships, lies, convicted criminal associations. I could go on forever but I only have so much space. :dem:

3. Rachel Maddow mentioned that the "Anenberg" of the group that Obama and Ayers were on the board for
Donated money to McCain. So if Obama "paled around with domestic terrorists" so did McCain's supporter.
