McCain's Unsavory Associations and Connections - * Newly Edited *
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 04:50 PM by blue-kite
There are many people a person can meet and have as friends and colleagues. Obama had his, we know... but perhaps Senator Pot is calling Senator Kettle black (no racial pun intended.) Use this list if you want... now edited, added Fowler and Timmons. Any more out there? Did McCain pal around with Strom?
Cheers

-GEORGE BUSH... no more to say on that really.

- RICHARD QUINN - White supremacist... hired by McCain, called Mandela a terrorist.

- RICK DAVIS - dodgy lobbyist, paid thief and of course mccain adviser.

- LIDDY- He's likable isn't he... convicted Watergate felon-friend of mcain... proposed to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 RNC, planned a murder of unfriendly newspaper columnist, advised those being arrested that law enforcement officers should be shot in the head (as they have body armour on)… also hosted a fundraiser for McCain.

- COLSON – Another Watergate thug, Colson sought to hire Teamsters to beat up anti-war demonstrators, and plotted to raid or firebomb the Brookings Institution.

- JOHN HAGEE - McCains own turbulent priest, said Katrina was punishment for homosexuals... The RC church is the 'great whore'.

- FALWELL - more turbulence, even McCain called this huge bigot 'intolerant' before realizing he might need his support... blamed 9/11 on gays, pagans and liberals, said tinky winky was a gay role model (that's really quite funny, surely a joke n'est pas?)

- JIM HENSLEY... Cindys pa, where McCain got his many houses, convicted felon and friend of many unsavory gangsters.

- PALIN - The American Anti-American, free Alaska if you please.

- JESSE HELM - suggested that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist dupe...

- KEATING - of course... more convicted felons and McCain representing them as well.

- US COUNCIL FOR WORLD FREEDOM - McCain was adviser, it funded rebels in Nic, linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America.

- DAVID IFSHIN - how did that get here, Ifshin left-wing student who denounced America on Radio Hanoi!

- ROBERT ASHER - , a Republican National Committeeman from Pennsylvania -- and a felon convicted on public-corruption charges.

- CLAYTON WILLIAMS – Oil good ole boy who raised $300K for McCain, once likened bad weather to rape: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it".

- JAMES B FOLWER – State trooper admitted he wrongfully shot dead a protester in 1960s Alabama, in 1990s when Fowler in Thailand in jail for narcotics. McCain asked state department to help him out. Reason?

- WILLIAMS TIMMONS – the man hired to lead McCain’s presidential transition team once lobbied to get access to Saddam’s oil… other lobbyists were later convicted of acting as agents to Hussein’s government. Timmon’s got off scott free, but evidence shows that he probably knew what was going on and would benefit to the tune of $45 million.

1. Carl H. Lindner Jr
Hosted a $25k a plate fundraiser for McCain in June. Later discovered that while he was the CEO of Chiquita-Chiquita funneled over $1 million to the United Self-Defense Forces of Columbia (known as AUC). AUC is on the State Department's list of Foreign Terror Organizations. Chiquita admitted wrongdoing and was fined $25 million.

2. Good one... I just did some research. Another tire blown on the straight-talk express!
I'll add to the list.
Cheers
