McCain vetoes aides’ proposals to go after Obama on Wright, too

The perfect companion piece to Marc Ambinder’s reminder this morning that, for all the bluster about what Ayers reveals of Obama’s judgment and character, Maverick’s not pushing the issue as hard as he could. No major ad buys, no speeches devoted to the subject, not even a debate mention yet. Either he considers this line of attack dishonorable or he finds it absurd to be pushing it in the middle of a global financial meltdown, so he’s going to half-ass it by bringing it up occasionally, hoping the media takes the baton and runs with it, but otherwise not dirtying his hands too much. How that adds up to a winning strategy is beyond me, but then I haven’t really grasped McCain’s strategy since he effectively diminished The One this summer by comparing him to Paris and Britney.
Some McCain campaign officials are becoming concerned about the hostility that attacks against Sen. Obama are whipping up among Republican supporters. During an internal conference call Thursday, campaign officials discussed how the tenor of the crowds has turned on the media and on Sen. Obama…
But Sen. McCain vetoed proposals to attack the Illinois senator for his 20 years as a member of the church led by Rev. Wright, whose harsh comments about racism in America and other issues created problems for Sen. Obama during the Democratic primary contest. Sen. Obama publicly severed ties with Rev. Wright earlier this year.
Sen. McCain has said Rev. Wright is off limits.
That decision, and the worry that the campaign could open itself to accusations of racism, has kept Rev. Wright out of their strategy.
One McCain senior adviser said the difference between Mr. Ayers and Rev. Wright isn’t race, it’s religion. “It’s not appropriate to attack someone’s faith,” he said.
Some longtime Republicans are befuddled by the decision not to go after Rev. Wright.
“If you’re going to go down with Ayers, you might as well go with Wright too,” said Ed Rollins, a longtime Republican strategist and former Reagan White House aide who ran Mike Huckabee’s campaign during the primary.
Mr. Rollins said that, although accusations of racism would undoubtedly arise, Sen. Obama’s longtime connection with Rev. Wright made the relationship fair game.
Ayers is more odious than Wright to me for the simple reason that he has a body count, but if the name of the game is associations, it makes no sense to tie him to the guy he worked with but not the guy he worshipped with for 20 years. Fearless prediction: If the polls don’t change after next week’s debate and Obama’s lined up for a landslide, you’re going to see McCain back off the Ayers stuff with an eye to salvaging his reputation/legacy among the media he loves (or used to love) by being noble in defeat. As Christopher Buckley, endorsing Obama(!) today, puts it, “All this is genuinely saddening, and for the country is perhaps even tragic, for America ought, really, to be governed by men like John McCain—who have spent their entire lives in its service, even willing to give the last full measure of their devotion to it. If he goes out losing ugly, it will be beyond tragic, graffiti on a marble bust.”
If he gives up on Ayers, though, I’m not sure what he’ll spend the last few weeks talking about. An emergency economic proposal, maybe? We’ll see. Meanwhile, further in this vein, see Michael Crowley at TNR for an obvious but welcome acknowledgment that the left’s high dudgeon about rage at McCain’s rallies is highly nuanced indeed in light of their own boilerplate about Bush being a terrorist and a war criminal.
Update: Whoops, the Crowley link was busted. Fixed now.

Yes, it is really looking that way.
Oh, and great post about Wright.
Y-not on October 10, 2008 at 4:47 PM
I might agree with you if he had chosen Huckabee or a “safe” choice like Pawlenty as his running mate, but choosing Palin took political courage.
I really think that for some reason McCain thinks that there is a moral equivalency between attacking Obama on Wright and attacking Palin over Pentecostalism.
It’s frustrating because many of us think he’s wrong, but nothing stops the 527s or his supporters from making the case for him.
Y-not on October 10, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Re: Wright, Obama defended himself by saying he wasn’t in the pews every Sunday but attended the church a couple times a month. Fair enough. Obviously this is a sufficient answer for you.
But simply take a look at the whooping and hollering in the various video clips. Does that look like an audience that is seeing something shocking, unusual and out of character?
I don’t see too many jaws resting on chests. Quite the contrary, this is something that the crowd enjoys and is familiar.
Obama doesn’t have to be in the pews when this was said. This is regular pablum for the congregation and demonstrably so.
As one of the most prominent members of the congregation, you don’t think that if Wright had suddenly run off the rails and lost his marbles by talking about “goddamn america” and “chickens coming home to roost” that Obama wouldn’t get an email or a phone call telling him that Wright went off the deep end?
Obama’s first reaction was to make a strong stand in defense of Wright by saying his comments were taken out of context. When this was proven to be not the case, Barack then said that this was not the Rev. Wright he thought he knew.
Either you’re kidding yourself or you don’t think it matters but either way it is pure sophistry and a damn silly argument to make.
Obama is unusually comfortable around radicals and is not only willing to listen to their drivel but also fund them with grant and tax payers monies.

I hope you don’t mind me copying and pasting your entire comment and sending it out to my political e-mail list. That was excellent, sir/ma’am. Absolutely excellent.
Michael in MI on October 10, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Voters with a brain perhaps? Besides, you’re not going after the preacher, you’re going after Obama for clearly subscribing to the same ideology as the crazy preacher. You don’t sit in a racist, America-hating, Marxist church for 20 years if you disagree with what’s being taught there.
But don’t listen to me, take it to the American people and let them decide for themselves if it matters. We both know what would happen, which is why you hope it never comes up.
xblade on October 10, 2008 at 5:15 PM
I think that going after Wright is a waste of time. I think it should not be, but it is. The people who care have already decided not to vote for Obama, the rest of the country obviously does not care.
It might be that McCain has some information, some polling of his own that tells him pursuing Wright at this point would be a mistake for his campaign.
But there are other people who can express their opinion about Wright.

I don’t think it’s necessary to go after Wright. Not for fear of charges of racism, but because…believe me…people remember that. No one has forgotten.

Everyone pray for nice black consertative that when out on a limb yesterday. In public radio in Milwaukee today callers want to lynch him .

Gracelynn on October 10, 2008 at 6:46 PM
I just saw the video on Fox of McCain chastising an audience for their anti-Obama enthusiasm… the words he chose were… unfortunate. I’m sure AP will have a post of it soon.

Jeremiah Wright almost sunk Obama in the primaries when most of America was not paying attention. Bringing him up is a valid point. In fact the relationships to many others needs to be brought to the forefront as well.
Rev. Wright
Bill Ayers
Franklin Raines
Tony Rezko
Michael Pfleger
Rashid Khalidi
There are dozens of others if you look far enough. But all of these names add up to a pattern of radicalism and opportunism. The problem with the McCain attack is that it is piecemeal. Anybody can have a working relationship with one guy that turns out to be a skunk, so it can be dismissed. By pointing out all of the associations with so many different radicals though, you establish a pattern and with it create suspicion.
This is a interesting article on Obama from 1995 if you care to read it.
Hawthorne on October 10, 2008 at 6:52 PM
McCain is sending mixed messages: ads that talk about ads, talk that doesn’t.
With Ayers, McCain doesn’t need to inflame. Point to their alliance on Chicago Annenberg Challenge and then point out what a mediocre performance he achieved as chairman of the Challenge.
As if things aren’t sinking fast enough, McCain’s got Rick Davis appearing for him on Fox on Sunday. Geez.
BuckeyeSam on October 10, 2008 at 6:54 PM
He is just too honorable…I guess his Father and Grandfather taught him more about Honor than what is typical for other men, because if it was me. I would be going after him from sun up to sun down
OriginalPechangas_son on October 10, 2008 at 7:01 PM
It is not honorable to fight weakly for the survival of our Republic.
profitsbeard on October 10, 2008 at 7:05 PM
McCain has always thought this was just a campain. He never relized that the this is a war for the future of our country and the dems who he thinks are his friends are out to destroy him and his party.They will use everthing they have to win and he never will this is so sad.
thmcbb on October 10, 2008 at 7:19 PM
Y’all didn’t believe me about McCain a year ago when I told you what he is like. Ok, that’s fine… you needed to learn for yourselves.
You didn’t believe me yesterday when I told you for the hundredth time, despite continuous, overwhelming evidence that I was right.
You don’t believe me now, when I tell you again that McCain’s whole values system can be defined in three words:
Senatorius Uber Alles.
McCain cares more for his Fraternity Buddies in the Senate, than he does for us.
LegendHasIt on October 10, 2008 at 7:26 PM
If he is not going to follow up on questioning Obama’s character, he and Palin ought to STFU in their rallies about him. If they’re not serious, just admit it so we can stay home and prepare for a bleak future.
People are so frustrated by McCain fighting against his own campaign…do Republicans riot?
PattyJ on October 10, 2008 at 7:28 PM
I was just watching FOX and the indicated that McCain simply won’t fight back. It appears that he is campaigning for Obama and told the crowd that they shouldn’t fear an Obama presidency. It looks like we might as well resign ourselves to Obama and plan for a new (or real) fight in 2012. I’ve never seen anything like this and the Republican Party had better get its act together less the cease to exist.
rplat on October 10, 2008 at 7:31 PM
McCain has tanked the election, intentionally.
Why, I do not know.
madmonkphotog on October 10, 2008 at 7:37 PM
What the hell is McCain doing? For cryin out loud, I am so damn frustrated!!!!! What happened to “fight with me?” WTF- I just don’t get it. I spent a good portion of the afternoon crafting what I thought was a well written blog on mypsace about Obama and McCain and he does this???? Obama is honorable? Don’t be scared of an Obama presidency? F**K you McCain. Your’re damn right I’m scared. I think alot of people may be right. He’s too damn old and I think dementia is setting in. Good Christ I can’t even describe what I feel right now.
jewells45 on October 10, 2008 at 7:38 PM
Crowd turns against McCain at his own rally
SnarkVader on October 10, 2008 at 7:51 PM
McCain had Obama on the run and the people were behind him . . . now he refuses to fight with anyone except his loyal supporters. His poll numbers are going down faster than the stock market and he simply doesn’t seem to care. Frankly, he’s letting us all down and the Republican Party’s credibility is about 100 feet below whale manure. Nominating him appears to have been a monumental mistake.
rplat on October 10, 2008 at 7:57 PM
Thanks for that SnarkVader…blood is shooting out of my eyes.
“Be respectful of Obama and of his accomplishments”?
What accomplishments, John? Isn’t that the point? Isn’t that why we are so scared of the “Messiah”?
Just when you thought John McCain found his marbles, he loses them again, along with his stones.
I’m glad the crowd went after him. He deserves what he gets.
HornetSting on October 10, 2008 at 8:00 PM
Rplat said it all. Screw it. We’re stuck with The Messiah for at least 4 years. Mc is wrong: I am VERY afraid of an Osama reign esp wrt the Supreme Court and terrorism. McCain has surrendered.
Dingbat63 on October 10, 2008 at 8:01 PM
“He got the message.” about going after those responsible for Fannie/Freddie.
Just like he “got the message” about immigration.
Someone needs to turn up his hearing aid.
HornetSting on October 10, 2008 at 8:03 PM
I just watched the evening news and I knew you guys would be on this. He just blew whatever chance he had. (sigh)
Star20 on October 10, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Maybe if he loses, he can manage the Yankees. Brilliant ideas that forfeit victory seem to be something that Steinbrenner is willing to pay big bucks for. Utz chips and Maverick management. Let’s not hurt the other guy’s feelings.
Hening on October 10, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Unfortunately, if he loses he will still be a Senator…. Two more years before he even has to face an election.
Probably will equal or extend Byrd’s decades as a doddering old fool that the voters keep sending back to the Senate embarrass them.
LegendHasIt on October 10, 2008 at 8:16 PM
He can stick with the Ayers connection but …
He REALLY needs to drill into the Democratic connections to Fannie / Freddie. He needs to get on a message that … “Hey, guess what … these guys who screwed us all will be in charge of EVERYTHING if Barack gets elected.” He needs to highlight each and every day just how much $$ American’s have lost thanks to the Democrats. Hell, not only did they take out the American economy … they took out the WHOLE WORLD’s economy (now what’s that going to do to American prestige abroad, Obama?). Dodds and Frank are already household names … he needs to remind folks that Pelosi has put THEM in charge of investigating this whole sorry problem.
It is the economy that’s hurting McCain … he needs to NEUTRALIZE that. It’s not going away on it’s own and it won’t take much to convince Americans who really caused the problem
HondaV65 on October 10, 2008 at 8:26 PM
“A decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”
Hooooooooooooooooooly crap.
Game over, man.
BallisticBob on October 10, 2008 at 8:27 PM
I saw the same thing and I find his choice of words unfortunate.
Regardless of how he chooses to campaign, here is a reality you need to grasp. If Senator Obama is elected, his first 4 years will be a free pass because of all our current difficulties… he can blame it all on Bush. With a Democrat controlled congress, there will be no investigations… nothing will be done. After being given a pass for the first 4 years, he will be re-elected for another 4 years.
President Carter won because of Watergate… he then screwed things up all on his own. He couldn’t blame it on anyone but himself. Senator Obama and Democrats will get a free pass on everything with the help of the press so his blaming it on Bush and Republicans will become “fact”.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. We all need to make every possible effort to get McCain elected and hope he chooses only one term and we can run a true conservative.. regardless of what manner he chooses to campaign. The alternative will be a tilting to the left that could match FDR-Truman. Do you want Democrats everywhere for that long again? You simply cannot quit.
No doubt we will have a new voting style to match what they are trying to do with unions… voting will be done at your local ACORN office (one on every corner) and they will assist you with selecting the proper candidates. (tongue in cheek… I hope)

CapedConservative on October 10, 2008 at 8:27 PM
McCain must and will attack Obama on Wright. My theory is that he just doesn’t want to have the issue of come up in a debate. He doesn’t want to have to defend his ads, nor give Obama a chance to defend himself on that issue in front of millions of viewers.
Obama is buying thousands of ads for tv, but I doubt any of them will be as memorable to the viewer as “God D@mn America”. Watch the days after the debate. “God D@mn America” will be across the airwaves and Obama’s numbers will plummet.
If somehow McCain doesn’t attack, then us HotAirers can start meeting up to practice The Red Army Choir.
El_Terrible on October 10, 2008 at 8:28 PM
Maybe he thinks the Wright thing is old news, but when he tempers the “anger” of his supporters toward his opponent, I smell a rat.
It’s going to be up to us to turn up the volume. If you are going to a McCain rally anytime soon, unleash your anger.
HornetSting on October 10, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Someone in the campaign headquarters of McCain needs to go to the range and learn how to pull a trigger…

Sorry….
As a Canadian hoping for a Republican victory I have to make the following observation. Senator McCain has lost his mojo. He is abused continuously by his opponent and he continues to be respectful? What kind of a Commander in Chief would that make?
Sad really!!!
Canuck1955 on October 10, 2008 at 9:17 PM
The truth of the matter is…less than a month out, and he still doesn’t know what to do. Yes, America is screwed now. John McCain is a very honorable man. But the American political landscape is littered with good men who could never translate their honor into political capital. Unfortunately, this could not have happened at a worse time in our short history…this time it matters, but I am now convinced that McCain thinks salvaging his personal notions of honor (as if he doesn’t know what that means in the political arena) is more important than saving his country…it isn’t whether we think he’s finished…it whether he does. I think he does, so he is not going to fight because he really doesn’t think Obama will be the end of the American dream…some of us disagree, but if he doesn’t believe it, it doesn’t matter. He is our man in the arena and he’s buckling under.
AUINSC on October 10, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Neither one of these guys - Ayers or Wright - carries the punch of connecting Obama with murderous ethnic cleanser Raila Odinga.
It absolutely sickens me that McCain hasn’t even mentioned Odinga’s name once.
Obama is disqualified from being President of the United States due to his close association with Odinga, on that fact alone.
ericdondero on October 10, 2008 at 9:48 PM
…and bleak it would be. Obama/Pelosi/Reid liberal tripartite.
Maybe the Dems think small business doesn’t care about being taxed, that these businesses can just work around overburdening taxes and regulations.
I have a small business and I am waiting for the right time to ramp up the business with new hires and sales people.
I am ditching these plans under an Obama government. To cover the new tax rates I would have to raise prices and there is price in my industry customers won’t pay beyond.
Naw, I think I’ll take the slower road, retire earlier and watch the tide of America ebb and flow.
God willing I’ll have enough left to give my kids something.
I won’t wait until death to give it to them either…..the dem. rats will never get 50% of my loot.
FireBlogger on October 10, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Of course, the only qualification Obama needs to be POTUS is the EC count…he’s got it in the bag now. So, yes, morally and intellectually…he is not qualified…but that doesn’t count. He’s a better politician than his opponent. He wins.
AUINSC on October 10, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Do ya know the difference between Bill Ayers and Timothy McVeigh ?
Ayers beat the rap, became a teacher and has an alliance running for President.
Scary Halloween huh ! ! Boo ! !

McCain is a poor campaigner destined to let down millions of Americans. If he means what he says, why does he have ads on Ayers? I think he has given up on the race and I have wasted my time rooting for him.
The VC broke McCain under torture and I think it has affected him and the way he behaves.
For a war hero with so many years in the Senate, he would have had a shot at the presidency when he was much younger, if he was seen as a natural leader. He finally gets his chance at 72 when the Republican party cannot find anyone younger and capable of countering Obama or Hillary. America may well end up with every arm of the legislature and the presidency under the Democrats’ control. America will be run by radicals and left wingers from January 2009.
God does not bless America anymore.

Mustn’t offend those who surround themselves with crackpot preachers, crooked speculators, and who associate with DOMESTIC TERORISTS.
WTF!
profitsbeard on October 10, 2008 at 11:08 PM
McCain may see attacking Obama for association with somebody who was once a terrorist as character assassination. But pointing out that Obama is a threat to education as evidenced by his support for Ayers’ attempt to radicalize children is absolutely not. What Obama will do to our educational system should be enough to scare anybody. McCain will be derelict in his responsibilities if he doesn’t bring this up.
And McCain will be derelict in his responsibilities if he doesn’t make it clear that it’s the Democrats who have destroyed the economy. It’s amazing that McCain won’t tell the truth about a man who has no qualms about telling lies about McCain. There is no honor in letting Obama and his fellow democrats destroy the country and then frame conservatives for it. Unbelievable!
under on October 10, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Maybe this is something our 527s should do. It needs doing. And we need to tie Obama and the rest of the Democrats to the crash using good documentation with source locations.

herself on October 10, 2008 at 11:51 PM
McCain was leading in the polls before the Wall Street Disaster took hold. I think his biggest mistake is that he stood at two debates now and allowed Obama and the Dems to pin this whole mess on Bush-McCain and the public is so angry that it is natural for the McCain to now be losing. He should have stood his ground and said “I am not Bush” anymore than you are Obama, I have not been President for the past 8 years. He should have made sure that Americans understand that the Dems have even more responsibility for the economic disaster than Bush, the republicans or John McCain. He should have reminded the country that the Democrats have controlled the Senate and House for the last 2 years and have a lower approval rating than ever before in history.
He should have reminded America that a Republican Administration has kept our country safe from another terrorist attack for 7 years which is “job 1″ for any President”
I heard none of that!
All I heard is how John wanted to “reach across the aisle”, Blah Blah Blah.
He and the Republicans better learn to communicate better which is unfortunately a skill never mastered by the this Bush administration.
oped01 on October 11, 2008 at 1:38 AM
What reputation will McCain have? The one where he refused to fight for a presidency he could have easily one had he just laid the FACTS out?
Time to start wondering in what foreign market I should put all my stocks in, to avoid Obama’s taxes.
amkun on October 11, 2008 at 4:47 AM
Such utter crap.
If political campaigns are not about forcing the candidates to defend themselves then what is it for?
A coronation?
Obama has thrown his “agenda” up on his web site and has been a cipher in rope a dope mode throughout the general election.
Add a sack sniffing media and you get a shadow elected to the presidency.
Great.
mylegsareswollen on October 11, 2008 at 5:44 AM
Me too. This concedes the election to a socialist squirrel. Hard times ahead.
petefrt on October 11, 2008 at 7:21 AM
Do you think you are the only person on this site who recognized McCain for what he is from the beginning? You have not been paying attention. The vast majority of this site has been looking at McCain as the lesser of two evils–someone less unbearable than his opponent, but a real problem, nevertheless. Trying to maintain a shred of hope during this election has required great effort for most of us, and you want to talk us as if we were sheep, blindly following McCain? Please don’t insult us this way.

flyoverland on October 11, 2008 at 10:34 AM
I suspect Maverick’s rejecting ads about the Obama/Wright association may be as much about avoiding charges of racism as anything the campaign may be willing to admit.
However, Ayers should remain in the conversation because in Obama’s role as “community organizer,” he and Ayers supported efforts to make radical changes in this country through indoctrination of children rather than education. Also, those efforts aligned with the same “agitation” that ACORN practices and through tactics that Obama helped teach. In fact, a tack that McCain should seriously consider following is tying together ACORN, Obama, Ayers, and the others and how their goals and methods used to achieve them have led to the financial mess we are currently experiencing.

ErinF on October 11, 2008 at 1:21 PM
Why am I supposed to fight for McCain when he won’t fight for the Presidency?!?! The Democrats are lying, manipulating and decieving in order to get Obama into the White House — no attack has been too nasty, venal of low for them to launch. IN the “debates” Obama took stances he’d NEVER taken before on nuclear energy and oil drilling, he lies up one side and down the next about his odious leftist relationships and background. And McCain just stammers “My friends…”
I don’t care to have the current batch of Democrat leaders be my fiends, their actions and views are at complete odds with my own — and does McCain really think any of the base give a flying monkey doodle about the “spirit of Bipartisanship” when the nation’s future is at stake.
WIN! *Then* be bipartisan with those willing to work with you, stop being Bob Dole or God’s sake, and FIGHT!!!!!
EasyEight on October 11, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Look at it this way, guys. Juan Mcain is the worst thing to be representing anything associated with conservatism ( even though he is a merely Rino) and his defeat can be a good thing as long as we get out in front of the narrative. Obama is going to win and the hounds of liberal hell will be unleashed for all Americans to see. That wont sit well after the dust settles. Juan is a liberal, and you can’t out-liberal a marxist. Juan had a golden opportunity with standing firm on free-market principles, tax cuts, etc to oppose Bush/Obama/ Big gov crap sandwich and should have held a press conference on the steps of the senate , arm and arm with the House Republicans. He didn’t….what do we expect? Its the scorpion and the frog….it’s who juan is and his impulse is not in the conservative direction.
We have to make sure that the narrative is that only a true conservative can beat a liberal democrat, period. The Rinos are going to try and blame it on Gov Palin and the “rabid” conservative base. No. Palin, Jindal, Romney are our future and we need to have this fight in the Republican party. Obama will win. They will have full control, and the American people will see what they voted for. NOW IS THE TIME FOR CONSERVATIVES TO BE LOUDER, AND STRONGER. As Juan will go down in the fire, we will raise from the ashes and Juan, Mcgramnesty, et all will be gone. Keep your heads up. Palin/Romney/Jindal….2012…oh, and wouldn’t it be nice to have a hardhittting, articulate conservative for once? God Bless America
