McCain has killed more people than Ayers
A little fact that should be brought up (also that Ayers has killed as many people as I have or your average member at a Quaker peace meeting.)

Let's pin things on him that we can prove.

6. What makes you think that?
Whether that catastrophe was triggered by his
willful recklessness or his gross incompetence
(and, given his record, either is equally possible IMHO)
neither explanation is equivalent to "not his fault".

7. It's more complicated than that.
"About 10:50 in the morning local time \19°9′5″N 107°23′5″E / 19.15139, 107.38472, while preparations for the second strike of the day were being made, an unguided 5-inch Mk-32 "Zuni" rocket, one of four contained in a LAU-10 underwing rocket pod mounted on a F-4 Phantom II, was accidentally fired due to an electrical power surge during the switch from external power to internal power."

(from wikipedia)

9. And as far as I know it was not fired from his plane?

Yeah, don't go out and get shot down on this one, when there is other ammo to use.

4. He was a BOMBER pilot.
If he hasn't killed anyone, he was a pretty crappy bomber pilot.
