Obama vs. McCain: Who's "associates" are the most shady?

[Buford]

We've read stuff in the past few weeks/months about people like Rev Wright, Charles Black, William Ayers and Rick Davis. That's just a few I'm sure.

So, who has more shady associates?, what role do they play today in each Man's life?, and which will have the most negative impact of the campaign of those they support?

In addition to Savimbi, Black and his partners were at times registered foreign agents for a remarkable collection of U.S.-backed foreign leaders whose human rights records were sometimes harshly criticized, even as their opposition to communism was embraced by American conservatives. They included Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Ferdinand+Marcos?tid=informline), Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, Nigerian Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre, and the countries of Kenya and Equatorial Guinea, among others.

Yikes, aren't we anti-dictator?

....But check this guy out. Charles Black.....He fights Marxism..Thats GOOD

From your link....

"Justice Department records that Black's firm submitted under the Foreign Agents Registration Act detail frequent meetings with lawmakers and their staffs and lavish spending by Black and his partners as they attempted to ensure support for Savimbi, whose UNITA movement was fighting the Marxist Angolan government."

and

"Black and his partners were at times registered foreign agents for a remarkable collection of U.S.-backed foreign leaders whose human rights records were sometimes harshly criticized, even as their opposition to communism was embraced by American conservatives"

Maybe we should send Black to Chicago! :laugh:

It went on during the time when Dems were in power to, and rember it was a Dem president that sat down sat down with Stalin in order to fight Hitler and divie up the spoils


I am not so bothered by the dealing one has in the world of politics in cases like this as sometimes it a matter of the lesser of two evil and a ruler is responsible for his people not that of another country. It is the people they choose to hang with on their own time that can be more disturbing
