Given all the crazies in the GOP, John McCain could spend the next six months denouncing most of his supporters. Instead, McCain is trying to exploit the tenuous link Obama has to William Ayers. (Thanks to team Clinton for getting that one out there.)

Okay, if McCain wants to play that way, we can play. As the new leader of the GOP, McCain is now responsible for everyone in the GOP. All of them. We already saw that McCain can’t control (or doesn’t want to control) the North Carolina GOP.

Fired Up Missouri asks the question about McCain and Tony Zirkle.

Normally, no one would ever try to tie a candidate to the Nazis. But Republican Zirkle did it himself. Yes, he did. It happened earlier this week and in the news about the PA primary, we almost missed it. You see, Zirkle is the Republican candidate for Congress from Indiana who showed up to celebrate Hitler’s birthday with a bunch of Neo-Nazis. Not kidding.

So, using McCain’s own standards, it’s fair game to ask what he thinks of Tony Zirkle. This didn’t happen forty years ago, it happened this week. Do the neo-Nazi/White supremacists have a place in the McCain/Zirkle GOP? It’s a serious question. No outrage from McCain has surfaced yet. Now, the hard part is getting any of McCain’s BFFs in the media to ask him the question. Remember, the reporters who travel with McCain all know he’s got a fierce, volatile temper so they don’t want to piss him off.
