John McCain's Friends...
John Rakolta Jr and Robert Liggett: Put the ad together comparing Dems to Hilter

http://www.usatoday.com/news/elections/2007-03-20-1650578140_x.htm

G. Gordon Liddy:

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."

Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?

John Hagee:

Terry Nelson: (He also was associated with the racist ad about Harold Ford in TN)

Terry Nelson, a registered lobbyist, is a partner in Mercury Public Affairs, LLC—a "strategic partner" of Fleishman-Hillard International Communications and a "member agency" of Omnicom Group Inc.—and senior advisor to Republican 2008 presidential candidate Arizona Senator John McCain's Straight Talk America.<1>

Nelson, who "has the unique distinction of being tied to two of the biggest cases of Republican campaign corruption" during the George W. Bush era,<2> was "implicated in the infamous New Hampshire-phone jamming scandal and he was an unindicted coconspirator in the political money-laundering case which ended Tom DeLay's career."<2>

In September 2006, Nelson was "enlisted" by the Republican National Committee "to run a campaign that coordinate with Senate Republicans on ads that similarly will rely on the best of the worst that researchers have dug up on Democrats."<3>

Richard Quinn:

Honoring racists: In 2000, Richard Quinn, McCain’s South Carolina spokesperson in 2000, called the MLK holiday “vitriolic and profane.” McCain defended Quinn, calling him a “respected” and “fine man,” refusing to fire him. McCain’s current campaign has paid the firm Richard Quinn and Associates $180,000.

George Wallace Jr.:

In June 2005 he opened up the first day of the annual national convention of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a conservative group that critics describe as "white supremacist". This was not Wallace's first interaction with the CCC; he gave speeches to the CCC once in 1998 and twice in 1999.

Rod Parsley:

believes that the United States has a “historical conflict with Islam” and believes that Christians have “no choice” but to confront Muslims. Parsley wrote that “America was founded, part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.”

Parsley has also called for prosecuting people who commit adultery and has compared Planned Parenthood to Nazis.

2. Of course, technically, Republicans don't have friends.
