Actually, Rush has revealed that there is a second ad that features Johnson. The Obamahdi’s charge is a flat-out LIE.

John McCain is the second coming of the Ku Klux Klan according to Karen Tumulty, Time Magazine’s political correspondent.
Why? Because John McCain has put out an ad showing Barack Obama’s ties to Harold Raines of Fannie Mae.
Raines is black. Obama is black. Therefore John McCain is a dirty racist.
Seriously.
See it for yourself.
Now, she says that if McCain wasn’t a racist, he would have done an ad going after Obama for his more substantial ties to Jim Johnson, a white guy.
She never bothered to check her facts. McCain has put out an ad connecting Obama to Johnson.
Tumulty is still unpersuaded and has not, as of now, updated her post.
