McCain: Lewis' Campaign Comparison Unfair

Candidate Says Vitriol Among His Supporters Is Not Comparable To Segregationist Rhetoric

(CBS/AP)  John McCain said Monday that it was unfair for Rep. John Lewis to compare the negative tone of the Republican presidential campaign to the atmosphere a segregationist fostered in the 1960s.

McCain suggested that the comments by the Georgia Democrat and veteran of the civil rights movement carry more weight than those of a Virginia Republican Party leader who compared Democratic rival Barack Obama to Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.

"This is not just some obscure party official," McCain said in an interview aired by CNN. "And that's what's so totally unacceptable about it."

According to Time magazine, Virginia Republican Party Chairman Jeffrey M. Frederick recently told McCain volunteers in the state that Obama and bin Laden "both have friends that bombed the Pentagon."

McCain has repudiated similar past statements about Obama, but did not specifically address Frederick's comments in the interview.

"You have people in political campaigns on the outer most fringe on both ends of the spectrum," McCain said.

McCain and running mate Sarah Palin have said Obama failed to tell the truth about his relationship with 1960s radical William Ayers, and Palin has accused Obama of "palling around with terrorists," meaning Ayers.

Ayers was a founder of the Weather Underground, a radical, Vietnam War-era group that claimed responsibility for a series of bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

Ayers also hosted a reception for Obama in 1995, when Obama was beginning his political career. The two also have worked with the same nonprofit organizations in Chicago. McCain's campaign has tried to exploit those ties, even while saying it disagreed with Frederick.

"While Barack Obama is associated with domestic terrorist William Ayers, the McCain campaign disagrees with the comparison that Jeff Frederick made and believes that his comment was not appropriate," said McCain-Palin spokeswoman Gail Gitcho.

In a statement Saturday, Lewis said McCain and Palin were "sowing the seeds of hatred and division" and "hostility in our political discourse," and noted the tone that segregationist Gov. George Wallace fostered in 1960s Alabama.

"George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights," said Lewis, who is black. "Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."

Obama's campaign said he doesn't believe McCain or his policy criticism is comparable to Wallace and his segregationist policies.

Lewis issued a follow-up statement Saturday, saying it was not his "intention or desire" to directly compare McCain or Palin to Wallace.

Lewis' comments followed reported examples of anger at McCain-Palin rallies that has been aimed at Obama, the first black man to be a major party's nominee for president. GOP supporters have shouted "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar" and "off with his head."

McCain defended his audiences, saying most who attend the rallies are "good and decent and patriotic Americans."

"To somehow intimate that the overwhelming majority of those people, with rare exception, are somehow not good Americans or are motivated by anything but the most patriotic motives is insulting and I won't accept that insult," he said.

Several times on the campaign trail this year, McCain has praised Lewis, invoking the Congressman's name in connection with Dr. Martin Luther King and telling the civil rights veteran's story during an event in Selma, Ala.

During the primary campaigns, on Martin Luther King Day, CBS News asked all the candidates to reflect on the civil rights leader's legacy. McCain noted that he was in a prison camp in Vietnam when King was assassinated, but referenced Lewis.

"I did not know Dr King," McCain said. "But I know John Lewis, and I know what he represents. And John Lewis and I may disagree on some issues, but that's the kind of person I think are true American heroes."

In April, while in Selma, Ala. -- the backdrop for a milestone civil rights march on March 7, 1965 -- McCain commended the bravery of those who marched that day, including Lewis, who suffered a fractured skull from a beating during the protest.

In August, while appearing at a forum on faith, McCain was asked to name three "wise people" he would listen to. He cited Lewis as well as Gen. David Petreaus, head of U.S. troops in Iraq, and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a top adviser to his campaign.

Wow CBS you really do suk.

Palin, aka Caribou Barbie, has been untenable from day one. I still say McCain will announce her resignation before the election. She''s an extremist, way right wing, and her husband (First Dude) is even worse.

[cariboubarbi]

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people in the way of real leadership which is why they resort to fear, hate and smear.

[mapatty1]

All of this started when Palin accused Obama of palling around with terrorist. In other words she was saying he is a terrorist.

[luvtaymae]

How many hoops does Obama have to jump through to prove he is not some muslim dead set on destroying the US? Believe it or not white folks there are black people that are articulate, college educated, married with children and have a career. There is always speculation that this man has something to hide because he is successful and wants good for all Americans. As if no blacks want that are you really that ignorant? Maybe so according to the Republican rallies. All that he has accomplished and still he is not good enough. I have never seen any presidential candidate treated this way and it is sad! You racist people should be ashamed of yourselves! He has had to do nothing but defend himself since day one but at the same time you all state he is not saying enough about what he will do for this country well shut the hell up about his funny sounding name and what he did in kindergarten and let the man talk. Of course Mclame and his flunkie would say Obama associates with terrorists because they have empty space in their speech to fill because like Bush they will do nothing for us and they are desperate to win. If he were white he would be a shoo-in for the presidency. I''m so sick of the same old s***! We need change.

[rudy654-2009]

It''s really a shame that Obama doesn''t mention McCain''s good friend and terrorist supporter, G. Gordon Liddy. Yeah, the guy who told people like McVeigh on his hate radio show how to shoot and kill federal agents, "if they attack." Oh, and I won''t forget that he admires Hitler.

[lionheart64]

So much rancor from the mouths and pens of people who will do anything to try and prove their own points, whether they be true or false; doesn''t matter. Why don''t people talk with each other, rather than at or about each other?

Rep. John Lewis, if he was such a good friend of Senator McCain, and was so concerned about what was happening, could have called him personally to voice his deep concerns, instead of fanning the flames.

And Senator McCain, he doesn''t even have the courage to confront Senator Obama directly to discuss the William Ayres connection.

People don''t want to talk with other people. Everyone just believes what they choose to believe, and will stop at nothing to support their beliefs, then ram them down other people''s throats.

We''ve lost our ability to communicate in a civil manner. There no longer is any middle ground; everything is just black or white. I''m right, you''re wrong. And you''re not only wrong, you''re stupid. And if you''re a Muslim, you''re evil, a terrorist, and stupid. Geeesh... so many people have lost all common sense and respect for other human beings. Instead of engaging others in a decent conversation, it''s now, I''ll show you how wrong you are.

Pride comes before the fall.

Indeed, what an excellent post. Ayers, if anything, is an example of how somebody who did wrong, can turn to doing right. Isn''t that the goal of Christianity? Let the wicked leave his evil way and forsake harmful thoughts? Yet, Palin apparently doesn''t agree with that part of Christianity.

Of course people yell stuff about Obama, they are ticked and its two three weeks away from a major election. The difference is the media doesn''t cover the nasty stuff people say about McCain. Or what about the "Abort Palin" bumper stickers.

The race card is lame when you play it all the time. What a bunch of whimps you all are. You think the McCain rallies are bad, they don''t compare to the hattred that there is for BUSH and Cheny and Palin.

So go play your race card somewhere else. They said Kerry wasn''t american, that Gore was out of touch. That Duckais was a whimp and a left wing snob. They were white, but oh no, you cant talk about the black guy.

If you are a Christian, then you should know that lying will get you to a dark place quickly. Ayers has made it clear that what he said was distorted, and yes, we all know that reporters can distort things. He has said that he never ever said that they should have planted more bombs. But I bet you don''t care, because you want to get Obama for sitting on a charity board with Ayers. You dirty hypocrite. You don''t even know the Jesus you claim to love.

Oh, by the way, since you didn''t answer my question, I will put it to you again. Do you support McCain''s good friend G. Gordon Liddy who told his listeners how to kill federal agents. A simple yes or no will suffice.

"To somehow intimate that the overwhelming majority of those people, with rare exception, are somehow not good Americans or are motivated by anything but the most patriotic motives is insulting and I won''t accept that insult," he said.

So those who would deny fellow Americans their right to elect an American of their choice, and use terms such as we have seen throughout this campaign, including the primaries, are "patriotic"? That they are American there is no doubt, but if McSame thinks that is decent and honest, then he shows that he is not fit to lead.

It seems McSame sorely misses those days when those who referred to "Black" people as the "n-word", stood on school steps blocking "Black" people from entering, lynched "Black" people, even bombed churches, could do so with impunity, and were regarded as heroes for their crimes.

Well guess what, John-boy, those days are gone forever, now you cannot escape the consequences of your actions, the nation has repudiated such people and their thinking.

[ofbyfor3]

''George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights''.

That''s the truth--and while neither McCain nor Palin have thrown a bomb, there is the sense that they have not not stood up against people who scream ''Kill him!'' against Obama at their rallies is equivalent to endorsing that sentiment.

I don''t think that anyone at an Obama rally has screamed ''Kill him!'' against McCain--but I''m pretty sure that if Obama heard that, he''d say something against whoever did it--immediately.

[brianbwb-2009]

Party Chairman Jeffrey M. Frederick recently told McCain volunteers in the state that Obama and bin Laden "both have friends that bombed the Pentagon."

But Frederick doesn''t comprehend that the Pentagon shouldn''t have been doing what made Americans want to bomb them in the 60s, and as for 2001, Al Qaeda''s handlers at the CIA shouldn''t have given the orders.

If Obama will REPEAL all the domestic spying laws and the Patriot act I would vote for him in a heartbeat.....I think we have come to close to being a communist/socialistic society with Big brother telling us what we can do and can''''t do.....

Posted by cwazywabt at 12:46 AM : Oct 14, 2008

Let me get this straight--on the one hand, you''re ok with people calling Obama a ''terrorist'' because he has a vague (''6 degrees of separation'') association with Ayers.

On the other hand, you''re against ''the domestic spying laws and the Patriot act''.

While I do think that the ''the domestic spying laws and the Patriot act'' are un-American (in the sense that our Founding Fathers would be very much against them and are rolling in their graves), I also think the same of the McCarthyesque ''guilt by association'' that peope are dealing to Obama .

You can''t have it both ways--which do you choose?

McSame not only did not know Dr. King, he also did not know the principles that the man sacrificed his life for, and to date still does not know them.

You don''t see media coverage of people yelling ''KILL HIM!'' at Obama rallies due to the simple fact that Obama supporters don''t do that and Obama wouldn''t tolerate it--he''d denounce it--LOUDLY--in a heartbeat!

"Why is it that if you are not voting for obama you are labeled a racist? And its McCain not McSame. Have a little respect!!!" Posted by ingram102

For most the fact that they cite lies, half-truths, and irrelevant points as the reason for their vote, and fail to recognize that several issues Mr. Obama spoke to, such as Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and the US economy, are now being adopted by the Bush klan, and even Mr. Obama''s campaign theme of change was later plagiarized by McSame, as he switched from stay the course, are all reasons why such people are called racist, the man''s judgement and policies are worth stealing, but the man himself is somehow not worthy.

Now if they had legitimate reasons (and there are some legitimate questions, but no "White" person has asked them) to post and discuss in a civil manner, that would be a different story, those people are excluded from the general perception, but so far none have surfaced.

To me, it sounds as though you have an inferiority complex.

Just because you are a loser doesn''''t mean you have to stay one.

I don''t know if it''s an inferiority complex or a ''superiority complex''--in other words, these people don''t feel that anyone else is allowed to have their fair share of the pie or the candy store, so to speak.

''GFAD''?

An acronym I''m not familiar with. Is someone willing to define it for me?
