Controversy
The Southern Poverty Law Center has claimed that McCain was once a member of League of the South, which the SPLC feels is a white supremacist hate group. McCain has had connections to leaders of the white supremacy movement, such as neo-Nazi William White.
In March 2010, McCain returned to the Times as a freelance writer, covering a New York congressional race with a candidate with connections to the Tea Party.
McCain frequently derides Senator John McCain, as "Crazy Cousin John". The distant kinship is based on a common ancestor in South Carolina listed in the 1790 Census.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
