I shudder to think what some would say if this had been a "mistake" made by Senator Obama's campaign.

You forgot this part:

A spokesman for McCain, a long-time critic of Russia, had a simple explanation for the fundraising letter's arrival at the Russian mission in New York: "It was an error in the mailing list."

It was a form letter send out to a mailing list.
Anyone could have added the person's name to the mailing list.

From the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United States

Permanent Mission of Russia to the UN press release (October 20, 2008)

Also the pdf of the letter is included on the website above.

My my my, so defensive, I said it was a campaign "mistake".

Funny how it's a mistake when McCain does it and it's the end of the world if Obama does.

Obama never accidently sent out a wrong letter on a mailing list. He is accused of accepting donations over the internet from foreigners. . .

Really?? What interesting phraseology "accused of ..." Any proof or just an RNC accusation -- based on al-Quaida's endorsement of Senator McCain I can "accuse" him of being a terrorist sympathizer. Bear in mind btw, that Senator McCain has had to return campaign money to foreigners so careful with those "accusations".

It seems the RNC did make a formal complaint to the FEC near Oct. 5

RNC to File FEC Complaint on Obama Fundraising Practices | The Trail | washingtonpost.com

"A lawyer for the Republican National Committee today said the party will ask the Federal Election Commission to look into the source of thousands of small-dollar contributions to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama."

FEC flags Obama donations, GOP filing complaint | You Decide 2008

Truble2301 all of this will be over soon, because for a fact our country needs a change and on November 4th, 2008 history will be made. Obama and Biden will win it all, so let the Republicans be worried they shouldm they are not going to win..................... Catherine

As I said, an RNC accusation. Since I'm one of those "small-dollar contributors" hoping the FEC doesn't confuse Paris, Oregon with Paris, France. Just more crap throwing which will hopefully end up all over Senator McCain's campaign considering, as I said, he already had to return $50,000 to a Jordanian.

In reaction to this possibly?

FEC Queries McCain Campaign on 'Excessive Contributions' | The Trail | washingtonpost.com
"The FEC sent its letter a week before a lawyer for the Republican National Committee said the party will ask the Federal Election Commission to look into the source of thousands of small-dollar contributions to Obama."

Again as always it seems when a Democrat does something is totally blown up, However when a Repulican does it , its not big deal. Typical as always. Again change is coming soon in the name of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. I am counting the DAYS!!!!!/// > peace. Catherine

You better check your facts. . .McCain was "endorsed" by some poster named Haafid. He is not believed to have a direct affiliation with al-Qaida plans or knowledge of its operations, according to SITE.

Hmmm. . .ever heard of Rafah, Georgia?? Me neither. . .but apparently Monir Adwan lives there and he's given money to Obama to the tune of $24,33 dollars in about a months time according to the FEC.


Here's the link to the FEC screenshot:

Ah, "he is not believed to have ...". Taking a page out of the conservative playbook -- too bad, someone said it, it fits my scenerio, so I'll continue to repeat it -- John McCain is endorsed by terrorists.

As for Rafah, Georgia -- see above.
