There is never a "context" for hate:
QUESTION: The chair of the Republican Party in Virginia has said, quote, in Time magazine, "both Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden have friends that have bombed the Pentagon. That is scary." Is that appropriate for a state party chair to be saying?
MCCAIN: "I have to look at the context of his remarks. I have always repudiated any comments that have been made that were inappropriate about Senator Obama. The fact is that William Ayers was a terrorist and bomber and unrepentant. I don’t care about that. But Senator Obama ought be the candid and truthful about his relationship with Mr. Ayers in whose living room Senator Obama launched his campaign and Senator Obama said he was just a guy in the neighborhood."

Dear John — the remarks of the chair of the GOP in Virginia don’t NEED context. They stand, reeking, on their own. “..both Barak Obama and Osama Bin laden have friends that have bombed the Pentagon..” It is what it is – it’s a lie and a smear and your response is another smear.
You, John McCain, are someone who threw his integrity out the window with both hands, willingly, enthusiastically, continuously and repeatedly. You would sell your mother down the river for whatever advantage it would give you. You are completely amoral. Whatever works, right? That’s you.
So saying that “Senator Obama outght to to be candid and truthful about his relationship with Mr. Ayers…”, is NOT holding yourself to the same standard – you need to be candid and truthful about your relationship to Frank Keating..and to your wife and her family’s relationship to Frank Keating and about your relationship to all the elderly folks who lost their shirts in the crooked deal…and about your relationship to the fact that your wife and her father kept their business partnership with Keating even after the scandal…for 12 years..and then made a huge amount of money on their investment because they’d held it that long, when the project was sold.
But that’s private, right, John? You and yours are not held to the same standards as the Obama family are ..you are …above all that, right? NOT.
Uh, that would be Charles Keating (Frank Keating is former governor of Oklahoma I believe).
Ding, ding, ding…Dakine – thank you so much…(scratching head..)
Since both are Repubs, it is often easy to confuse them all sometimes…
