Wright or Wrong?

So now we're voting on the person who has the fewest non-PC friends and associates? Not on policy or anything that really matters, but on who you know or knew--even when you were 8 years old. Gimme a break. The media (and remember that over 80% is controlled by corporations and conservatives like Rupert Murdoch) had a field day with Obama vs Rev. Wright. Let's shift over to the other side.

What you probably don't know about McCain:
1. He intervened in the investigation of a savings & loan run by his friend & benefactor, Charles Keating (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/135400?tid=relatedcl). This was in 1987 & involved the S&L Crisis that cost taxpayers $500 million cool ones. McCain was one of the infamous Keating 5. Keating was convicted & spent time in jail for it.
2. Doug Goodyear was selected to manage the Republican convention this summer. McCain has protrayed himself as anti-special interest, yet here you have the CEO of DCI Group that lobbied for ExxonMobil, GM, etc. (http://www.newsweek.com/id/136321). Update: May 12, Goodyear resigns today.
3. He has been endorsed by Pastor John Hagee, a San Antonio televangelist who told NPR, after Hurrican Katrina, that New Orleans had suffered "the judgment of God" because of its "level of sin." He called the Catholic Church "the great whore" and a "false cult system." (http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=John+Hagee&tid=relatedcl). "On women, Hagee makes St. Paul, notorious for treating women like second-class citizens, look like a feminist. ``Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher?'' asks Hagee. ``The answer is lipstick.'' As if that's not insulting enough, he continues: ``Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? ... You can negotiate with a terrorist.'' Real cut-up, that John Hagee." . Despite this, McCain personally wooed Hagee for more than a year to get his endorsement.
4. He hired Richard Quinn as a political advisor in 2000. Quinn has headed the racist Southern Partisan Quarterly Review for many years, has ties with David Duke, and, along with McCain, opposed a Martin Luther King holiday. (see http://www.liberaloasis.com/2008/04/mccain_guiltbyassociation_for.php).
5. One of McCain's top campaign fundraisers is Donald Diamond, an Arizona real estate mogel. Diamond wanted to buy land at a military base & McCain intervened to help speed up the sale. (see http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_04/013572.php).
6. McCain's "spiritual guide" is Rev. Rod Parsley, an Ohio televangelist who has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he calls a "false religion." He has railed against the separation of church & state, homosexuals, & abortion rights. See this for yourself at http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38133-mccain-s-spiritual-guide-wants-america-to-destroy-islam. Update: June 3, 2008. After the above info hit the mainstream media, McCain rejected both Parsley & Hagee. Just remember he courted them in the first place.

The big question is: Why haven't we heard this from the "main-stream media?"
