let's just say i used the same logic 'they' used

wouldn't that make mccain a terrorist? wouldn't he be classified as hanging out with terrorists? he hangs with someone who hangs with someone who hung with someone who hung with saddam. so, when barack obama was 8 years old, ayers was being his weather underground self. when barack obama got older, he sat on some committees with ayers and even attended an event ayers sponsored on his (barack's) behalf (a fund raiser i believe).

but mccain's head of his 'presidential transition team' hung with saddam. the man's name is william timmons. mccain hangs with timmons.

william ayers is alive and well and a professor at a university. saddam hussein has been executed with the help of the united states government. soooooooooooooooooooo, who hangs with terrorists and friends of terrorists really?

i'm confused here

Exposed: McCain's Presidential Transition Chief Aided Saddam Hussein

Posted by Murray Waas, Huffington Post

William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

Timmons' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a rogue enemy state and a sponsor of terrorism. His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time.

John McCain strongly supported the 1991 military action against Iraq, and as recently as Sunday described Saddam Hussein as a one-time menace to the region who had "stated categorically that he would acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he would use them wherever he could."

Timmons declined to comment for this story. An office manager who works for him said that he has made it his practice during his public career to never speak to the press. Timmons previously told investigators that he did not know that either Vincent or Park were acting as unregistered agents of Iraq. He also insisted that he did not fully understand just how closely the two men were tied to Saddam's regime while they collaborated...............
