Obamaramadingdong must have a pretty lame lawyer.
This attempt at quashing free speech needs to be exposed and flushed down the crapper.
So Juan McCain, surprise us and don’t condemn this terrific ad.
I am thrilled with McCain, or more accurately I am thrilled with the prospect of a RINO, who is much better than a communist in all but name.
I'd be happy to see McCain give a weak condemnation of the ad.
I'd like to hear him explain that Ayers was a terrorist back when Obama was 8 y/o, and Obama shouldn't be held responsible for that ... but ask how Obama feels about Ayers' recent statement that his only regret is that he didn't set more bombs.
I'd like to hear McCain agree that the ad may have been wrong to use footage from an anti-American organization's sympathetic film without permission, if that doesn't qualify under Fair Use ... and point out that there is plenty of other footage about the atrocities committed by Ayers and the other domestic terrorists who called themselves the Weather Underground.
There are so many possible criticisms of the ad and opportunities to invite Obama to clarify what he was thinking, that I can't imagine many harmful comments that even McCain could make on the issue. Any statement McCain makes will draw attention to the issue, and if he can agree with Obama on the peripheral issues while suggesting that Obama explain the substantive questions, that will help voters to understand what kind of "change" Obama visualizes in his "hope" message.
