This is not going to sit well with the party elders. According to right wing “blogger,” Debbie Schlussel, Senator John McCain has removed Ali Jawad, a businessman who was convicted of mail and insurance fraud, from the Finance Committee of his Michigan campaign. Schlussel also claims (with no links or proof offered) Jawad has strong ties to Hezbollah:
And, unlike the Barack Obama who clings to anti-Semites and terrorism supporters, John McCain did the right thing: He dumped Ali Jawad–an open Hezbollah supporter and key agent of the terrorist group in the Detroit area. Jawad is also a federal insurance fraud convict. Read on… (warning: low intelligence, high-froth link)
You would think a hardcore xenophobe like Debbie would wish nothing but pain and scorn upon the aging Senator, but in fact, she does just the opposite. According to her, dumping a known fraud who supposedly has ties to Hezbollah from his campaign proves McCain is a Maverick:
I congratulate John McCain and his campaign because they proved that McCain truly is a maverick and independent of the Republican establishment who brought Mr. Jawad to his campaign.
Riiiight. Deb wasn’t the only right winger to heap praise on McCain, Little Green Footballs got into the act;
Big LGF kudos to John McCain for dumping an open Hizballah supporter from his Michigan Finance Committee.
Shouldn’t they be calling for his deportation or worse? I don’t get it.

McCain dumps, alright.
I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
Every time McStain comes on the television, he dumps in my living room.
I would have put “Wingnut Blog dumps steaming heap of praise on John McStain” in the title.
If loving you is wrong
I don’t want to be right
But don’t you understand?
He must be a supporter of terrorism with a name like that!
Shouldnt he have been criticized for hiring an open Hizballah supporter in the first place??
If u hire a KKK member then fire him that makes u a good guy??
I wonder what they would have said if Obama’s campaign hired this guy and then dumped him?
IOKIYAR - learn it, live it, love it.
this just shows that to get a job with mcfuckhead or the gop
you don’t have to be screened at first, at least not unless
someone catches on to what you are up to.
Oh I get it alright. Old white repugs and old white MSM equals big boost to old white nomination.
Roger from Ohio @ 7:
Same thought.
You have to wonder what McCain has done to keep people bending over to him. What the fuck is wrong with this people, they must be swallowing it by the spoonful.
Pol Pot-O-Cheesesauce @ 4:
LOL
What Jawad a bet he was brought on board for his Rovian experience and ’strong convictions’ but public revelation put him on the plank walk? Now that he’s been flushed, maybe he’ll show up in Megan McCain’s Blog.
Oh, Logan, you get it. It’s yet another right wing double standard.
And of course they will ignore the question of how this person ever got involved with his campaign in the first place. Feh! Hey, I work with some idiot who thinks that McCain has “character”. Lordy. I would have sent him the link to Ten Things to Know About John McCain, but who wants to start an office war and then have to sit down with HR, eh? Trying to edjumicate some mild-mannered GOP office pud ain’t worth it to me.
They don’t have a lick of common sense between them.
obama gets criticized when he refuses to throw wright under the bus
he gets criticized when he does throw wright under the bus
ayres has nothing to do with his current campaign, but he served on a board and accepted money from him for his state senate campaign…yet the msm and the wingnuts make it sound like ayres performs felatio on obama, nightly
and mctraitortohiscountry has an alledged terrorist raising money for him….for how long before he was removed from his post?
and fuck schlussel
Uh, wait a minute here folks the Republican establishment who brought Mr. Jawad to his campaign…Hello? The Republican Party establishment put a convicted felon with ties to terrorists on the McCain campaign? And???
Where are the loud condemnations of the Party for being in league with terrorists?
Sheesh, just imagine if the Democratic Party had insisted on the Obama campaign hiring someone like this…just imagine…
Ali Jawad?
If Obama can’t be President because his middle name is ‘Hussein’, how can McCain have someone with an ‘obvious terrorist name’ on his campaign committee?
I wish I could remember the name of the McCain campaign guy who was caught in a public restroom sex sting.
Yeah, McCain surrounds himself with criminals — but look what a great guy he is, he dumps them when they are caught!
Somehow I am not surprised at all.
I hope the Dems go after MCcain for this and call him out on the carpet to explain how this can have happend!
NO ´´oh let it go ´´ shit from reid or pelosi, there is your chance, take it now or forever stfu.
New blog post up over at my blog and funnies as par.
take care folks and have a good eveing and danke C&L for a kick ass blog too.
Best regards to all,,
So McCains the kind of maverick who doesn’t even know what the hell is going on in his own organization until it’s to late.
And this guy is running for Prez?
Jay Severin Has A Small Pen1s @ 18:
Very obvious terrorist name for sure. they should just ship him off to Gitmo now!!! that is for sure what they would do if he was a Democrat.
My mind is blown.
Pleasepleaseplease god let this stupid wingnut story be absolutely accurate!
This would be too too good to be true. But I agree that the insanity world of the wingnuts would somehow bode into the MSM, as if the implications weren’t really a big deal. Here’s hoping thats not the case. Again, if it is true (pleasepleaseplease)
Concerned Voter from Boston @ 23:
This guy runs a company called Armada Oil & Gas.
Makes the scandal even more juicy. Especially since, Armada Oil & Gas is one of the companies that is being investigated for price fixing.
Remind me again where
a) Jeremiah Wright was actually on Obama’s campaign in the first place
b) Senator Obama has the power to stop someone from talking in public
Screw McSame, check this out!!

As anyone who’s ever done any time will tell you, just because a cellmate leaves doesn’t mean that “crime is solved” or your 8X10 room will now comfortably sleep three instead of four. It just means you’re getting a NEW cellie soon.
Obviously the key to beating McSame is getting the party elders pissed off at him.
That shouldn’t be too hard considering they already don’t trust him as far as they can throw him….
I tell debbie that rove and hastert have connections to the rogue “democrat” tony rezko, and she in turn informs me that hezbollah and al-qaeda are financed in part by the same Islamic charity (read the excerpt from her dynamic blog.)
I can back up my claim with solid links, not so sure about her doing likewise.
Tom (Not Tom) @ 9:
Fuck that shit! No true Dem or liberal can do that.

This link will take u to an MSNBC news story telling that
So if he left the campaign obviously he was part of the campaign.
No one wants Wright to stop talking in public, but obviously Obama finds anti-american and racist speech in church….. but if u spew that kind of hate in public it is ridiculous and
against everything he believes in.
not so much when it was in private.
mcbush cozy-up to the biggest terrorist, chimpy.
YES —- NO MORE KNOWN CONVICTS ON THE STRAIGHT GAY BUS
ONLY UNKNOWN CONVICTS
i want to thank the 3 new blogers i have seen using HIS full name
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
i have even seen a posting on a right-wing site complaining about this usage
HIS backers have issued a memo not to use HIS NAME and HIS PARTY in the same sentence. They REALLY hate this:
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN
JOHN “THE REPUBLICAN” MCCAIN wear it proudly like a cheap lapel pin
Gee, it’s not like Debbie Schlussel is a bona fide nutcase or anything. I find the guy I on my train who constantly and incoherently mutters to himself a more credible voice than hers. He dresses better than her too.
-AF
Andrew Sullivan Is A Fraud
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
all u ppl sound like republicans right now
sheesh
So if this means that the vile hate mongers LGF and Debbie are having an effect on the McCain campaign, then this is great. We’ll let them destroy each other while a Dem rolls into the Oval Office.
Roger from Ohio @ 31:
But it gets more interesting. News is leaking that Wright was never a close friend of Obama. It is possible that Michelle Obama was friends with Wright first. And if we are to believe Barack, he never heard one of Wright’s controversial sermons, which while in church, were public, not private. The conspiracy theory that the World Health Organization (WHO) developed the HIV virus to exterminate Africans is well-known and has been disproven since 1994. Can the mass media move on now? Barack has.
Oh, and if this is Barack’s ‘Monkey Business’ scandal, then the worst is indeed over. There’s a lot more dirt to dig-up on McCain.
It is also possible that Wright is trying to bring down Obama, so if Obama loses the nomination, Wright can then argue that this country is still intrinsically racist, and advance his agenda. Wright is jealous of Obama, it seems.
“Brains”
“McCain want brains!!”

Bob Allen (R) etard of Florida. Immediately after sponsoring anti-gay legislation, he was offering $20 to men in interstate (highway stop) bathrooms to let him, well………, you know.
NoGWBpolicyleftinplace @ 40:
Ah yes, good ol’ Bob(ber) Allen. I still think he was just trying to get the black undercover police union vote with Cindy’s beer money. Poor guy was just misunderstood.
Don’t you get it? This DOES prove that McCain is a maverick.
Most republicans would have just KEPT the convict. :P
Why does that face just scream, “I’m sorry Sgt. Carter…”
John McCain’s wife, Cindy McCain is a fucking billionairess- so he can well afford to turn his nose up at certain campaign contributors and internal campaign volunteers. What I find surprising is how the the guy got in there in the first place!
Its funny these neocon stooges never change. If there was no way the public would find out about this asshole, McCain would never have dumped him. Poor John, he has no idea that Cindy has already bought and paid for his ticket to the Whitehouse and her own co-starring role in what would become another really tired show with terminal ratings.
The upside is, Washington has no new show scheduled for next season. I seriously doubt if Bush and Company are going anywhere anytime soon- In fact, I believe they are going to wait for the very last second and declare Martial Law, which will “protect” us all from the current state of emergency.
There has been bizarre military air “drills(?)” all over Los Angeles and yesterday the sky above me was filled with 5 Naval Helicopters (one with with visible missiles attached). This is not a tin-foil hat observation and Los Angeles is not New York City- here on the west coast we do look up!
I’m going to assemble my campaign team by collecting all the miscreants and criminals I know. During my campaign, I will periodically throw one under the bus to improve my ratings in the polls. Then Debbie will love me, too!
Captain Bitter Elitist Hussein Kangaroo @ 8:
Oh, there’s no need to wonder. We all KNOW what they would have said. They would say it’s PROOF that Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. The fact that he kicked him out of the campaign would be dismissed as something he “had” to do.
Gosh, I’m told by conservatives that when a candidate has cozied up to a shady character like this, then we are to have serious concerns about the candidate’s judgment.
Apparently that only applies to Democratic candidates.
