What's worse: McCain palling around with terrorist/jailed watergater Liddy or him thinking people won't notice?
Carl Bernstein (original Watergate reporter):
Does John McCain "pal around with terrorists?"
Certainly McCain's continuing "association" and relationship with the convicted Watergate burglar and domestic terrorist G. Gordon Liddy might suggest that is the case, if we are to apply the standards drawn by the McCain campaign.
In 1998, Liddy gave a fundraiser in his Scottsdale, Arizona home for McCain's senatorial re-election campaign -- the two posed for photographs together; and as recently as May, 2007, as a presidential candidate, McCain was a guest on Liddy's syndicated radio show. Inexplicably, McCain heaped praise on his host's values. During the segment, McCain said he was "proud" of Liddy, and praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation

Palling around with Liddy makes McCain a hypocrite for implying strong ties between Obama and Ayers which, when investigated in detail, is at best a formal, business only relationship whilst the McCain - Liddy connection is plainly much more 'pally' in nature as observed by their conversation.
Thinking nobody will notice demonstrates stupidity.
It is therefore worse that he is "palling" around with G. Gordon Liddy as hypocrisy is a moral failure whereas stupidity is an educational failure.

While I don't like Liddy
comparing him to a guy who bombed and killed people and never went to jail for it, which is the case of William Ayers is a very weak analogy.

How is Liddy a domestic terrorist?
Did he bomb the NYC Police headquarters? NO.
Did he bomb the Pentagon? NO.
Did he bomb the Capitol Building? NO.
Are you just another angry lib grasping at straws? YES.
Sad, isn't it.

G. Gordon Liddy was a decorated Marine and FBI Agent who was convicted of a crime and paid his time in prison.
Ayer's continues to be an unrepentant American Terrorist who wishes he'd done more damage by bombing targets in 1970. He was never brought to trial, although he freely admits to his crimes!
Big Big Difference!

Liddy served for his crime. Liddy admits what he did was wrong. McCain doesn't deny he knows him.
On your side.... Obama is lying and no one will report it. He surrounds himself with people who HATE America.
