Furthermore, from your link

“I know that Senator McCain may not know this, but the Internet – you can get on it anywhere in the world,” Mr. Axelrod said, referring to Mr. McCain’s past statement that he was not savvy about computers.

Not true, you can deny shipping to any country you wish, but does the Obama campaign know that receiving funds from non citizens is illegal?

Neither did Charles Keating.. whats your point? (and the fact that you actually use that as a defense to justify bombing buildings has my head hurting).

However Obama chooses to counterpunch, it will be deliberate and thought provoking, rather than reactionary and impulsive like McCain's tactics.

If William Ayers is a cop-killer, then how come he's not in prison?

Because Ayers was found out by using illegal wire tapping, which was thrown out of court..

He doesn't need to mention Keating. Just throw out John's good friend Liddy who wants people to aim for the head of federal officers doing their job.

BS Alert. BS Alert.

No one died in the bombings.

On the other hand,

Charles Keating did this...

Quote:
Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of $2 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totalling $1.3 million
Keating Five - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imagine elderly investors losing their life savings. Worse yet, imagine a man who sought to shield the b*stard who did it to them now trying to be our President.

No thanks.
