Again, I will not take anything that is IN PRINT. The McCain Camp needs to release a statement and say which Robocalls are theirs.
The statement the campaign spokesperson gave was in reference to the one about Ayers. I'm not sure what everyone else is talking about, but that is the one I'm talking about. I live in Maine and McCain's campaign director here is Susan Collins, who is in a hotly contested race in this state. She is all up in arms, practically begging McCain to stop the calls here. She has been on the news. The campaign put out a statement in response to her that pretty much said "John McCain respects Susan Collins and have no comment about the phone calls in her state." (not exact words, but that was the jist of it). She is in his campaign and she is taking a ton of heat for those calls up here. If the campaign weren't making them she would have said so. Instead she publicly pleaded for him to stop the calls.

I don't know what else you need for confirmation.

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, facing a tough re-election fight, urged GOP presidential contender John McCain on Friday to stop making automated calls into her state that link Democratic nominee Barack Obama to a 1960s radical.

And didn't another link on this thread include confirmation from the McCain camp?
The Fox news clip confirmed it.

You should tell whatever boneheaded Wingnut who put the text on that movie to use spell check. It's "Allah" not "Attah". I mean, come on...if you are going to lie at least spell right. No way will a muslim translate and then misspell Allah.

You're ridiculous. Now I feel compelled to pay 5 of my son's friends $10 each to vote for Obama in your honor for posting such idiotic garbage.

Go ahead! That's the Chicago way. Is that a threat or a promise?

I don't ever have to pay anybody to vote for somebody to be on my side. They can vote for whoever they want.
