FRESNO, California (Reuters) - A top adviser to Republican presidential candidate John McCain apologized on Monday after he was quoted as saying a September 11-type attack before the November election would benefit McCain.

The campaign of Democrat Barack Obama condemned the remark by McCain political adviser Charlie Black, calling it a "complete disgrace."

"I deeply regret the comments, they were inappropriate," Black said in a statement after McCain said that if Black had made such a comment, "I strenuously disagree" with it.

"I recognize that John McCain has devoted his entire adult life to protecting his country and placing its security before every other consideration," said Black, one of McCain's most trusted political advisers.

This removes the focus from McCain's $300M proposed giveaway for a better battery, and places negative attention on yet another McCain campaign operative -- Charlie Black.

1. "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

Dan Abrams showed footage he uncovered of a Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, in which McCain said, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

Asshole. Liar. Fake.

2. Sorry doesn't cut it

He got his poison in. Too late for sorry.
Sorry doesn't correct the fact that he's put out a call for terrorism.
I pray to whatever gods might be listening that my fellow citizens aren't stupid enough to
elect anyone drooling for American Civilians to be murdered.

3. I can't believe we are attacking Charlie Black for this stupid statement and not

for his blatant life as a lobbyist.

This is lame. I hate gotcha politics. Its so petty.

6. Yeah really... terror, terror, terror...

is getting so old. Who cares if a candidate wants a terrorist attack to put him into office?

4. We knew the were going to invoke fear

What bothers me is the presidential directive 51 part of it.

5. Charlie Black just invited the terrorists to come to the US

and affect the Presidential elections. The man may know politics and lobbying but he has no grasp of terrorism. His pre 9/11 mindset is showing.
