Sen. John McCain this week gave his personal stamp of approval to one of the toughest pieces of direct mail in the 2008 campaign.
The brochure, which is being sent to voters in Virginia and Missouri, features a picture of what is either a plane about to crash into a building full of people or an airport departure gate, along with the words: "Terrorists Don't Care Who They Hurt."
The other side of the mailer says: "Barack Obama Thinks Terrorists Just Need a Good Talking To."
Controversial? Yes. But is McCain proud of it? Absolutely, according to an interview McCain gave to KDSD, a local television station in Missouri.
In the interview, McCain is shown the flier and asked if he's proud of it. "Absolutely," he said.

Holy cow. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I like your blog "Hope Made Human" and I'm going to add it to my 'Friends and Favorites' section.
Hi, Belle, I wanted you to know what an inspiration your page was to me. I have stayed up all night producing a video with the images of the mailers with some beautiful music by Jack Carter. I hope you approve. It should be up and running momentarily at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z0tw8NKXts
P.S. Why am I not surprised that we are both Capricorns?
Thank you so much. That was my hope with this blog... to inspire people. Inspire them to think, to change, to do something in this world. You are an inspiration. Your video is fantastic. I am so happy so happy to see that my blog inspired you to make something. It is a sad subject, but we are both doing what needs to be done: getting the word out. I am going to do a post dedicated to you and your video. Please email me at WorldEvolved@gmail.com, so I can know more about you, so I can complete the posting.
Great minds think alike.
Thank you again, fellow Capricorn :)
