Hatred ever kills, love never dies; such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.
- Mohandas K. Gandhi

This is what happens when you make shoddy connections between your opponent others and try to create a guilt-by-association situation:
"As a freshman congressman in the early 1980s, John McCain did not disclose his connections to a controversial group that was implicated in a secretive plot to supply arms to Nicaraguan militia groups during the Iran-Contra affair.

McCain did not list his service on the board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom on mandatory congressional disclosure forms asking about positions he held outside government.
...
McCain joined the board of the U.S. Council soon after Singlaub founded it in McCain’s adopted hometown of Phoenix in November 1981 as the U.S. branch of the World Anti-Communist League. The league billed itself as a supporter of “pro-Democratic resistance movements fighting communist totalitarianism,” but it had also been branded by critics as a haven for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.

But McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers told Politico that McCain notified the group of his intent to leave the board in September 1984 because “questions were raised about its activities.
He was on the board for 3 years, then he supposedly decided he didn't like their activities, so he left. I don't hold it against him, and this is what I'm trying to tell you: if you want to start singling out Obama for knowing and working with a guy who was a problem 40 years prior, you should expect for people to single out McCain for much more, since he was in government so much longer.

Do you guys REALLY want to play the 'guilt by association and/or financing' game with a man who's only been in government a few years versus a man who's been in government for decades? The skeletons falling out of McCain's closet started collecting dust when Obama was in Kindergarten.

Let's be fair and honest; both parties are probably committing all sorts of voter fraud and all kinds of other crimes. Who is more guilty is completely impossible to know.

It was a stupid, stupid move on the part of the McCain campaign, but then again, they've made so many stupid moves that it's not surprising.

Well said!

I just wanted to say well said. It's good to know that there are people out there who are more concerned with who is qualified to lead than who is palling around with terrorists years ago. People such as yourself who are concerned with the truth rather than lies and I truly hope that this time around americans do not fall for the same old tactics.
