McCain Fortunes Stem From Organized Crime

I always find it interesting where rich people got their wealth. In a few cases it is from legitimate sources and in a very few it's from the sweat of their own hands, but today most of them get it through family or marriage. A few even get it through illegal activities and organized crime.

Enter John McCain. According to an article in the World Net News Daily, "John McCain's personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law."

What? Who would write such things? Well it's our friend Jerome Corsi, Mr. Swift Boat himself. James Hensley, McCains father-in-law was convicted of seven counts of filing false liquor records and conspiracy to hide the people involved in an organized crime racket in Arizona. Nice folks!

It's not just Corsi who reports this, the cases are even highlighhted in an episode on the HIstory Channel in a documentary, "Rum Runners & Prohibition".

Now I don't put a lot of trust in Corsi, but his sources on this check out and I find it funny that a staunch neocon front man like Corsi is exposing his party's own guy. Guess McCain is not the darling of the right anymore?
