McCain linked to group in Iran-Contra affair

[texas*princess]

You're right... but all that stuff happened DECADES ago. The guy turned himself in, did his time didn't he?

Obama never endorsed that guy's actions ... unless maybe I missed that press conference.

So because of what this guy did a long time ago, no one is allowed to be nice to him anymore? That doesn't make any sense.

if you're saying "fair is fair" then maybe the Dems should make a big ol honking deal out of this McCain issue since some Rep's are trying to make a big ol honking deal out of Obama's past.

No, I'm pretty sure that he and his wife became fugitives and the case against them eventually got dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct so they reentered normal life from being on the run. I may be thinking of something else, but that's my distinct recollection.

You think a past that is checkered with relationships with extreme radicals, domestic terrorists, and black separatists who hate America shouldn't be looked at?

Investigate both of em I say.....but don't act like one is untouchable becasue his camp claims that everything is always overblown.
