John McCain and his ties to organized crime - Some of Skeletons from John McCain and Sarah Palin’s closets

I don’t particular like to write about family personal matters but in this case, I must make an exception since John McCain and Sarah Palin have decided to attack Barack Obama by using character assassination tactics. 

Sarah Palin opened the door on October 5, 2008, when she accused Barack Obama of having a close relationship with a terrorist, Professor Bill Ayers.  Palin once again is showing her true colors and ignorance, when she talks in the present tense.  It is very unfortunate that her English composition and grammatical language is even called into question for someone who is the governor of Alaska and a vice-presidential candidate.

Since the gloves are off in this nasty political drama that is ensuing, I am throwing my two cents.  My major concern is John McCain's alleged ties to organized crime.  This of course should be a major concern of any American regardless of political affiliation.  Unfortunately, the main-media stream for some unknown reasons has never considered this to be a major issue.  I am listing several news reports dealing with this subject.           

John McCain’s daughter from Bangladesh

It didn't take much research to turn up a seemingly innocuous fact about the McCain’s: John and his wife, Cindy, have an adopted daughter named Bridget. Cindy found Bridget at Mother Theresa's orphanage in Bangladesh, brought her to the United States for medical treatment, and the family ultimately adopted her. Bridget has dark skin.

Bridget McCain had become a sort of an issue during the campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination in South Carolina during the year 2000. John was criticized and was accused of having an affair with another woman. There was lot of prejudice and the reason for accusation was because Bridget’s skin was darker.

Bridget McCain was called as illegitimate black daughter of McCain born to a prostitute. This had a strong effect on the conservative South Carolina republicans. John said, a lot of phone calls were made by people who said we should be very ashamed about her, about the color of her skin. Such hurtful and vile things were said about her. But that’s a nasty side of politics and one should try to ignore it.

ELECTION 2008
McCain fortune traced to organized crime
Mob figures later implicated in Arizona savings and loan scandal

John McCain's personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc.

IRE reporters Amy Silverman and John Doherty, writing in the Phoenix New Times, note that the father of McCain's wife, James Hensley, was convicted by a federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948 on seven counts of filing false liquor records. Hensley also was charged with conspiracy to hide from federal authorities the names of persons involved in a liquor industry racket with two companies he managed, United Sales Company in Phoenix and United Distributors in Tucson.

The umbrella company, United Liquor, at that time held a  monopoly in Arizona, organized and managed by Kemper Marley, who was accused of mob ties by a reporter who was murdered in 1977.

Silverman and Doherty report that by 1955, Hensley had launched a Budweiser distributorship in Phoenix, "a franchise reportedly bestowed upon him by Marley, who was never indicted in the 1948 liquor-law-violation case – or a subsequent one – despite his controlling role in the liquor distribution businesses." http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57354
