"The Muslims have said either we kneel or they're going to kill us,'' stated Bud Day, during a McCain campaign conference call.

Bud Day, close friend and surrogate to McCain, added, ""I don't intend to kneel and I don't advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn't advocate to anybody that we kneel.''

John McCain has refused to denounce Bud Day's controversial remarks
which have come under fire from CAIR and other organizations.

Bud Day is a member of McCain's "Truth Squad" and one of the founders of "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," the 527 that attacked John Kerry in 2004.
