I’ll bet he’ll do it now! He threw his grandma under the bus for less 🙂 McCain makes a very good point about being friends with someone who is an unrepentant terrorist. Notice that Aryers kicked off Obama’s campaign.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Your allies are signaling that patriotism’s
going to be an issue in the fall.
Here’s Karl Rove, in Gentleman’s Quarterly Magazine. He said,

“There are Democrats, particularly blue-collar Democrats, who defect
to McCain because they see McCain as a patriotic figure and they see
Obama as an elitist who’s looking down his nose at them, which he is.
Do you have any doubt that Barack Obama shares your sense of
patriotism?
MCCAIN: I’m sure he’s very patriotic. But his relationship with
Mr. Ayers is open to question. And that…
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why?
MCCAIN: Because if you’re going to associate and have as a
friend and serve on a board and have a guy kick off your campaign that
says he’s unrepentant, that he wished bombed more — and then, the
worst thing of all, that, I think, really indicates Senator Obama’s
attitude, is he had the incredible statement that he compared Mr.
Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist, with Senator Tom Coburn, Senator
Coburn, a physician who goes to Oklahoma on the weekends and brings
babies into life — comparing those two — I mean, that’s not –
that’s an attitude, frankly, that certainly isn’t in keeping with the
overall attitude…
(CROSSTALK)
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Obama said…
MCCAIN: And it’s very insulting to a great man, a great doctor,
a great humanitarian, to compare to him with a guy who says, after
2001, I wish we had bombed more.
I had a reconciliation with the anti-war movement. One of the
great experiences of my life was to get to know and love David Ifshin.
I had a reconciliation with the Vietnamese, when we normalized
relations.
But how can you countenance someone who was engaged in bombings
which could have or did kill innocent people…
STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Obama says he was eight years old when
that was happening.
MCCAIN: But he became friends with him and spent time with him
while the guy was unrepentant over his activities as a member of a
terrorist organization, the Weathermen.
I don’t — and then to compare him with Dr. Tom Coburn, who
spends so much of his life bringing babies into this world — that, in
my view is really — borders out outrage.
STEPHANOPOULOS: He also pointed out that he and Mr. Ayers have a
very loose relationship. They live in the same neighborhood. There
was an organizing meeting many, many years ago, in his house. And he
says, frankly, I don’t agree with these comments that Mr. Ayers made.
MCCAIN: Doesn’t agree with them? Does he condemn them?
Would he condemn someone who says that they’re unrepentant and
wished that they had bombed more — and compare him to a doctor, one
of the great humanitarian — in my view, one of the greatest
spokespersons for the rights of the unborn in America?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, you say he should condemn these comments.
MCCAIN: Sure.
STEPHANOPOULOS: A lot of Senator Obama’s allies and others say
that you should condemn the comments of Reverend John Hagee, an
evangelical pastor…
MCCAIN: Oh, I do. And I did. I said, any comments that he made
about the Catholic church I strongly condemn, of course.

So, Obama is friends with a terrorist and McCain is endorsed by a pastor, nice equivalence there, Stephanopoulous!
You can watch the video here.
And here is Obama’s rather silly response. He’ll need to work on coming up with a better response.

“Unable to sell his out-of-touch ideas on the economy and Iraq, John McCain has stooped to the same smear politics and low road that he denounced in 2000.”

I see nothing wrong with McCain bringing up the fact that Obama has an association with an unrepentant terrorist and that he should condemn the terrorists remarks.
