LOL... A nothingburger.
A six degrees of separation paper trail
vs
A vid clip of 0 ripping Israel.
Bring it on.
This is nothing. Did Mccain praise this man, eat dinner with him and tell him what a great influence he was to his thinking? No way. This is a lame attempt to blunt the impact of this tape. Nice try.

This is desperation.
The absurdity and bogus nature of this attempt to confuse is the language “McCain led Group” used in the press release. Ridiculous. How could McCain run this out of the senate?
This outfit is a private entity that doled out money to various groups.
McCain has a very long record supporting Israel.
It would seem to me that McCain learned his lesson since then. This report says McCain was the chairman so I’m sure the comparison of the organizations/people McCain’s group funded vs. what Obama, as chairman of Annenberg Challenge and Woods Foundation, and his bud Bill Ayers funded, don’t even come close to “bad choices.” ALL of Obama and Ayers choices were bad.
Would you care to explain that to me?
The IRI is funded by US tax dollars. They’ve given to over 100 countries. The purpose is to expand freedoms so most of the group’s grants and aid could be considered nefarious. It’s mandate is to be there where the ‘bad guys’ are, so to speak.
I smell the distinctive odor of what is known as TBO - Troll Body Odor.
not me.
but the gullible independents. always realize that the so called indies are nothing but “influenced people”.
and they can be told by MSM that the one who financed the org ir worse than the one who went for a 1-evening dinner.
we are doing well so far. the polls show it. lets keep it to security, taxes and joe the plumber. its working so far.
save for later
IF the Obama campaign wants to have an 11th hour debate about past associations then I say bring it on punks!
There’s really no comparison here if what we’ve heard about the sequestered tape is true (very likely). There’s a big difference between funding a study of “sociopolitical attitudes” and railing against the existence and actions of an ally. However, until the inflammatory material is shown, it means little.
Sounds like the organization is a polling agency.
“The Center for Palestine Research and Studies conducted regular public opinion surveys in the West Bank and Gaza with financial support from various foundations and from the International Republican Institute, an organization that promoting democracy around the world. McCain was the IRI chairman when it gave $448,873 to the research group in 1998, according to IRI’s tax return.”
exactly
the MSM will be used by the radicals to spin this story differently.
and thats why i like this week a lot when we have stayed on message and hammered the-one big.
its showing in the polls. we keep focus and we should be even by saturday.
spot on... take a look at some of his comments since he joined yesterday.
But what you or I think really doesn't matter. John McCain and Sarah Palin are demanding the tape. And they will go on doing that until it appears or the election ends. As they should.
do you have their link?
im feeling so good today. we are making progress.
sorry
i did not say they shouldn’t. in fact the more that LA times does not release the worse it gets.
but its good to see day-4 we have stayed on message and we are doing great.
im so excited. we are in good shape.
