McCain’s Eleventh Hour Attack Hits Obama For Having The Same Stance As McCain
Comments from Left Field —
One of the reasons why McCain’s attacks during this election cycle have continued to fall short has been because every time McCain throws a stone, it’s been from inside a glass house. Bill Ayers was funded by Republicans and allies of John McCain. Rashid Khalidi may have been Obama’s professorial colleague, but John McCain gave the Palestinian professor a half million dollars.

Not only was ...
