Yeah, but McCain can't complain about them, can he? He invented them and at the same time made it illegal for an official campaign to overtly try to control them. It could be viewed as illegal for any 527, on either side, to run a blatantly false add and for the benefiting campaign to say "Don't run that any more" and then have them stop. Coordination between 527s and campaigns is not allowed and that includes decisions on what not to run.
Yes, there will be plenty of despicable ads from various 527s over the next five months from all sides of the spectrum. But I won't hold them against either candidate.
I must admit I'm not seeing the logic behind your upsettedness in post 1211. But then I've not seen the original remarks to know if they say anything beyond the simple list of ways that he expects to be undermined in the campaign.
