McCAIN'S Terror Connection - SCAREY!!

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy’s radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled “John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07″ includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an “old friend.” During the segment, McCain praised Liddy’s “adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great,” said he was “proud” of Liddy, and said that “it’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program.”
Liddy called for the murder of federal agents, served time in jail, plotted murder - and after that, John McCain applauded him and took his money.

Well said. It's shocking to me how how *common sense* is really *not so common* it scares me sometimes with people *in general* .
Great post!
Let's not also forget the fact that he was married in a Christian church and had his daughters baptized in one.
((The only thing Liddy did was burglary and he paid for his mistake. ))
lol. Okay. burglary is now a "blip" on the radar? NO. It's a terrible CRIME! Ayers was found not guilty. NO crimes. Liddy is a terrorist: a person who terrorizes or frightens others. Isn't that what Palin and McCain have been doing over the past few weeks by inciting fear and suspicion with their lies and innuendo?
Throwing around such volatile words is irresponsible for McCain and his surrogates. The GOP is dividing the country, and they don't care. That is a huge advertisement that the GOP are no good for America. The past 8 years have shown that.

Exactly.
What difference does it make if he is a Muslim? (Not that I believe he is, nor would I care one way or the other.)Why does that matter? And if he was a
Why aren't you scared of McCain?
Ayers never went to trial, he was not found "not guilty".
However, even assuming the best by assuming that you're unaware of the facts, that still leaves the essential incorrectness of your claims to be dealt with. Specifically, this claim of yours:
It's simply incorrect to suggest that "some people didn't do their job(s) correctly," though you are correct when you say that Ayers "got off on a technicality." In reality, what happened is that the evidence against Ayers was collected through an illegal program called COINTELPRO. Perhaps you've heard of it? It was a decades-long covert program conducted by the FBI against American citizens in violation of existing laws and also in ethically questionable but legally murky areas which were subsequently the reason for the forming of the Church Committee after Watergate. COINTELPRO was too large to be summed up in one sentence, but its essential goal was to keep tabs on anyone whom J. Edgar Hoover (and, later Nixon as well) considered "domestic enemies." These people didn't have to be violent (as Ayers and the Weathermen unquestionably were). In fact, they were often explicitly non-violent activists or even sometimes just the political opponents of the conservatives who ran the FBI (and often the White House). In fact, the abuses of the COINTELPRO program were so pervasive and so egregious that the Select Committee's final report concluded the following:
The specific tactics, used against Ayers and many, many other groups, included:
It's important to note that it is 100% contrary to fact to say that the reason the evidence against Ayers was dismissed was because "people didn't do their jobs correctly." On the contrary, as I've demonstrated above, people - the FBI, specifically - WERE "doing their jobs correctly," according to the orders they were given. It's just that those orders themselves, handed down from the leadership of the organization and from civilian political leadership of the country, were flat-out illegal, not to mention despicable.
