More than "pallin' around": John McCain and G. Gordon Liddy are practically blood brothers
"According to Palin's qualifications of "pallin' around", John McCain and G. Gordon Liddy are practically blood brothers. McCain and Liddy have been longtime friends and McCain has publicly stated "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family." He went on to say, "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." After the last eight years, I don't hold the same regard for presidential operatives covering up crimes of the administration they work for. Liddy has contributed money to McCain's campaign and held several fund raisers in his home.

Mike Navarre was right in his assumption Alaskans wouldn't remember who G. Gordon Liddy was. Maybe Sarah Palin was one of those. She funded the lobbyist group who dreamed it up, and was willing to be on the G-Man's radio show. Did Palin know Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary, wiretapping, contempt of court and contempt of Congress? Did Palin know Liddy was willing to kill a janitor and a journalist as part of the Watergate cover-up? Did Palin know Liddy admitted plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution? What about the plan to kidnap protesters at the 1972 Republican National Convention? Did Palin not know Liddy served a more than four years in prison? Or did Sarah Palin, like John McCain, celebrate and consider Liddy's terrorist activities to be "principles and philosophies that keep our nation great?" It is an interesting and relevant footnote; In the late 1960s when Bill Ayers was involved with the Weatherman protesting a bloody, never-ending war that killed 58,000 Americans, he was in his early 20s; In the early 1970s when G. Gordon Liddy was involved in his criminal activities, he was in his early 40s. Maybe Sarah Palin's excuse is she was only eight years old when the G-Man was plotting his terrorist acts."

2. McSame is unwise to play the "associations" hand, given the
facts about McSame's ties to sketchy characters.
