Yea but this is Ireland and there is no evidence that this guy is a McCain supporter as such.  Criticise any aspect of US policy and you will draw charges of anti-Americanism from some quarters here.  I'm not quite sure what turns them on.  Of course there are close links between Ireland and America and we have a lot in common.  But any idiot can distinguish between a factual critique of the activities of one candidate and his key staffer and the US as a whole.  So "anti-American" is just a rhetorical device to try and type cast me as yer typical anti-American, peacenik, lunatic fringe - in contrast to the sensible types who think the US is generally a good thing.  I need to refute the stereotype because the evidence points to some serious concerns which should be alarming to all - regardless of their political views vis a vis the US.

It's time I got out of this game....
