Bill Ayers? Why aren't we asking John McCain who David Ifshin is (think Hanoi Jane)

McCain's Own 60's Radical Pal

The McCain campaign shows no shame in engaging in a tired guilt-by-association tactic as Sarah Palin accuses Obama of "palling around with terrorists." This desperate calumny derives from Obama once serving on the same non-profit board as former 60's radical Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the Weather Underground.

But what about McCain's own associations with former 60's radicals. Indeed, until just a few years ago, McCain openly boasted not only about his passing friendship but also his deep collaboration with one of the most prominent of Vietnam-era student radicals, David Ifshin. The same David Ifshin who denounced America on Radio Hanoi as McCain sat locked up as a POW.

As recently as two years ago, speaking at Columbia College, McCain affectionately and warmly recalled his relationship with Ifshin saying:

"We worked together in an organization dedicated to promoting human rights in the country where he and I had once come for different reasons. I came to admire him for his generosity, his passion for his ideals, for the largeness of his heart, and I realized he had not been my enemy, but my countryman . . . my countryman ...and later my friend. His friendship honored me. We disagreed over much. Our politics were often opposed, and we argued those disagreements. But we worked together for our shared ideals."

:shrug:

2. I certainly don't.

The thing about the Ayers smear is that it is irrelevant bullshit. Another irrelevant bullshit smear from our side does nothing other than make us look as stupid as McNasty and that pitbull sidekick of his. The Obama campaign is just a bit smarter than that. They struck back with Keating 5, a problem for McGrumps that is relevant to the current mess we are in and his claims to be a maverwreck reforma.
