McCain and Liddy-- Listening to Hitler on the radio "sent an electric chill throug my body".
Okay this is just too good to be ignored. This needs to get more play on TPM.
The more that comes out about Gordon G. Liddy the more I am disturbed.

McCain's connection with Liddy is about as good as, or in my opinion much better, than Obama's relationship with Ayers. Obama has publicly repudiated Ayers' actions in the 1960's, but McCain on the other hand has been quoted in a radio interview with Liddy from last November saying:
"It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."
Now there are several interesting little factoids about Liddy sited in the HuffPo article and the ChicTrib article that originally published the story.
1) Liddy was involved in the planning of breaking into Watergate during the Nixon administration. He served four years in prison for his crime.
2) He was involved in a murder plot against a reporter that was never thankfully never carried through.
3) He was been quoted many times saying extremely inflammatory things. I think my favorite one is this:
"When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body."
Let's see how this plays out in the media. Will they pick it up or let is slide?
Please recommend this if you enjoyed reading it.
