Of course, the McCain campaign didn't know about the controversial remarks of Clayton Williams, even though they made national news at the time he said them! "These were obviously incredibly offensive remarks that the campaign was unaware of at the time it was scheduled," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said. "It's positive that he did apologize at the time, but the comments are nonetheless offensive." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080614/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_fundraiser In 1990 Texas Republican Clayton "Claytie" Williams ran a failed campaign for governor against Democrat Ann Richards. He once compared rap to the weather saying, "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." About his opponent Ann Richards Williams said, comparing her to the cattle on his ranch, he would "head her and hoof her and drag her through the dirt." Although the fundraiser was canceled the $300,000 raised by Williams will not be returned "because the contributions came from other individuals supporting McCain and not from Williams". Let's discuss this! Is this what you'd expect from the "Straight Talk Express" or should he put his money where his mouth is? Annie
