But the whole calling Obama anti-american, or saying he has antii-american views is very much an outrage. How is his view on america negitive?

You're obviously overstating things for effect. Neither McCain nor Palin have ever called Obama anti-american or has anti-american views. Ever. In fact, when confronted by a member of his own party at a rally, McCain went out of his way to alay any fears that Obama might be a "terrorist" as you call it.
Using your logic, you could say that Obama's negative ads are accusing McCain of being a fascist as all he cares about is rich people and he'd rather fork himself in the eye than piss on a homeless person if they were on fire. Is that an overstatement? Yes, and so is your emotional reaction to McCain's ads.
McCain has specifically attacked Obama's
judgement on the Ayers issue, and it is an issue, as Obama and Ayers did more than just sit on a board together. Now Ayers
is anti-american and unapologetically so, going as far as to bomb and kill innnocents and only stopped because he acidentally killed his wife when making a bomb, and Obama once called him a friend when it was politically convenient. If that isn't fit for examination when it comes to someone's personal judgement, I don't know what is. As for your complaint that a Republican headed up the board they sat on, unless that Republican's name was John McCain it's irrelevant to this discussion.
McCain's claims were about idealogy more than actions. Very little is known about Obama's ideaology in practice, because he has so little public experience. The little that he does have rated him the #1 leftist in the Senate by the National Journal. McCain has even purposely avoided Reverend Wright as I stated earlier. You can't disregard Obama's past political associations and friendships, because quite honestly thats pretty much the only record that McCain can use because Obama's senatorial record is so short.
Even
I've never claimed that Obama was anti-american, just a politician that holds socialist views and wants to essentially flip the constitution on it's head. Honestly, thats dangerous enough.
Thsi is the second time I've posted this interview and I'd love to hear eveyone's thoughts on it.
