Here's an excerpt:

The campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., removed a man from his Michigan Finance Committee today.

It started after conservative writer Debbie Schussel called Michigan businessman Ali Jawad not only a supporter of Hezbollah -- a group the US State Department labels a "terrorist organization" -- but also claimed he was a "key agent of the terrorist group in the Detroit area."

After Schussel started asking questions the McCain campaign removed him from the finance committee for a May fundraiser.

"Apparently he is a well known member of the Arab-American community in Dearborn," a McCain staffer tells ABC News. "He is also a known Republican donor and former Bush finance committee member. When these rumors surfaced he notified the campaign and we removed him from the finance committee. The guy never raised a dime for us and he isn’t even a contributor."

Yes, that's right, the McCain campaign said they removed him because of "rumors."

................................

Feelings mixed about conspiracy to help Hezbollah

2002- Ali Jawad is quoted saying he
"rejects talk that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that should be shunned by the United States and other governments.

2. McCain has people on his finance committee who have raised no $ and who hasn't contributed anything?

No wonder the guy is having $ problems.

What is the point of putting this guy on the finance committee anyway?

:shrug: :shrug:

3. wow... There is So Much Dirt on this Guy

Yet the media gives him a pass. And no, I don't buy the excuse that he is given a pass because the Democratic Nominee hasn't been officially wrapped up. The corporate media coddles those who do corporate America's bidding.

...they'll catch another Al Qaeda #2 guy, there will be an unspecified threat somehwere.

Or some other fear-inducing event.

5. Yes! Everyone call the media so they can smear more Arab-Americans!!! Great idea!!

Please, do us Arab-Americans a favor.

If you want to skewer McCain, go for it.

But leave us out of it.

Please.
