Obama allies warn McCain to back off attacks-- or else...

(10-05) 13:51 PDT Asheville, N.C. (AP) --

Barack Obama's allies warn that John McCain's attacks on the Democrat's character will lead to the political equivalent of mutual assured destruction: fire your big weapon at your own peril.

Several Obama surrogates said his supporters may start reminding voters of McCain's ties to Charles Keating, a convicted savings and loan owner whose actions two decades ago triggered a Senate ethics investigation that involved McCain as one of the "Keating Five."

The warnings of massive retaliation came as McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, took on the role of attacker and said that Obama sees America as so imperfect "that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referring to an early Obama supporter, 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Obama was a child.

1. Forget the warnings, nothing is wrong with exposing the mccain/palin past

or record

2. 'Warning' is all the Dems do

Just do it. Do the Repugs 'warn"? Did Palin 'warn' about the terrorist slur?

8. Sorry I missed that...

3. No need for a warning

The only ethical thing to do is make the public aware of the real mccain/palin.

4. If we could only hear the communications...

...that go between the campaigns.

McCain mentioned that this camp had asked the Obama camp "many, many times" to have
those town-hall meetings (ha! you never got them, you old bastard!). I imagine that
there is a lot of exchange between the two camps. How could there not be?

I imagine that the Obama camp called the Obama camp after Palin made her "pals"
comment and words were exchanged.

McCain all ready knows what's coming.

7. Songbird McCain

Worse things than Keating can be levied against McCain ... who is known in certain parts as the Songbird of the Hanoi Hilton. He really needs to think about this. Glass houses. Throwing stones. All that.
