McCain Calls on Paper to Release Video
(CBS)
(MIAMI) – After dropping the references to Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers for most of the past couple of weeks, John McCain brought it back up today during a radio interview here.
"We should know about their relationship, including, apparently, information that is held by the Los Angeles Times concerning an event that Mr. Ayers attended with a PLO spokesman. The Los Angeles Times refuses to make that videotape public," McCain said. "I'm not in the business of talking about media bias, but what if there was a tape with John McCain with a neo-Nazi outfit being held by some media outlet? I think the treatment of the issue would be slightly different."
McCain is referring to a story in the LA Times, published in April, that says Obama attended a party for Rashid Khalidi, a professor at Columbia University who has been critical of Israel and an advocate for Palestinian rights. The Times has a videotape of the event, but has said they promised the owner of the tape not to release it.

The McCain campaign can''t run on the issues, so now all is left is a desperate attempt to assassinate Obama''s character.
Worked for Carl Rove last two elections, but the American people have seen what that gives us over the last eight horrible years.
The Re-PUGS are trying to establish guilt by association...I think he American people are smarted then that. The spin masters and the "Rove" Right wingers are proving just how stupid and desperate they really are.
If you want to see a better video, that was uncovered, check out the one where Donald Rumsfeld was meeting with Saddam in Baghdad.
Give us a break..I believe the American people are sick of this garbage throwing contest. Obama has already won. Look at the electorial map....311 to 163...Its a done deal.
People are tired of the re-pug failures over the last 8 years. This election victory validates this consensus.
The Bush/McCain/Palin campaign will SAY ANYTHING and DO ANYTHING, These fools are a desparate, dishonest and dangerous lot and they don''t care if they take this country down with them. Maybe they should start VETTING themselves before they start slinging mud all over the place:
- International Republican Institue - Chairman, John McCain donated $500K to PLO radicals
- Alaskan Independence Party - "we have no use for United States policies"
- F. Gordan Liddy - Convicted Terrorist and Extremist
- Palin''s Pentocostal and Witchcraft Religous Beliefs
A "Make-Believe" and "Whackjob" Maverick ... LOSERS
And when did Palin''s children become state representatives flying around on state business? And while on state business, could a state be liable if a child has an accidential injury or worse?
Under the Patriot Act, that is an act of treason. So McCain is a TRAITOR, and should be taken out and shot for TREASON.
Now THAT is straight talk. McCain is a DESPERATE LIAR.
McCain has lost ALL HONOR.
McCain has lost all DIGNITY.
