McCain Stands by Controversial Flier

Sen. John McCain this week gave his personal stamp of approval to one of the toughest pieces of direct mail in the 2008 campaign.
The brochure, which is being sent to voters in Virginia and Missouri, features a picture of what is either a plane about to crash into a building full of people or an airport departure gate, along with the words: "Terrorists Don't Care Who They Hurt."
The other side of the mailer says: "Barack Obama Thinks Terrorists Just Need a Good Talking To."
Controversial? Yes. But is McCain proud of it? Absolutely, according to an interview McCain gave to KDSD, a local television station in Missouri.
In the interview, McCain is shown the flier and asked if he's proud of it. "Absolutely," he said.
McCain went on to say that the point of the flier is that Obama would sit down and meet, unconditionally, with the leaders of nations that sponsor terrorism.
"Senator Obama said, 'I would meet unconditionally with leaders of Iran, Syria and other state sponsors of terrorism,'" McCain explained to the reporter. "I won't talk to these extremist leaders."
