Since Obama did say on Fox that it was a legitimate campaign issue<\/a>, then why should McCain try to stop them from running it?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve stated my position very clearly that I don\u2019t like the ad. I was interested that this morning Senator Obama said it was a legitimate political issue. If he believes that, then it will probably be a political issue. I saw yesterday some additional comments that have been revealed by Pastor Wright, one of them comparing the United States Marine Corps with Roman Legionnaires who were responsible for the death of our Savior, I mean being involved in that. It\u2019s beyond belief. And then of course saying that Al Qaeda and the American flag were the same flags. So I can understand, I can understand why people are upset about this. I can understand why Americans, when viewing these kinds of comments, are angry and upset. Just like they view Senator Obama\u2019s statements about why people turn to their faith and their values. He believes that it\u2019s out of economic concerns. We all know it\u2019s out of a fundamental belief, a fundamental faith in this country and its values and its principles. Again, Senator Obama, out of touch. I can\u2019t control, and will not in future, control. I will voice my opinion. And I will continue to say that I think that ad should not be run. But I won\u2019t continue to try to be the referee here.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
