McCain Sleaze Continued

A couple of things.

1. If that call was the whole truth, and not a Michael Moore'eque framing of it, then yes, it could be construed as legitimate. But it's not, and what bothers me most is McCain KNOWS it's not. But he's counting on those who hear it not knowing enough to think otherwise.

2. If McCain doesn't care about an old, washed up terrorist, then why does he mention him so much.

3. Barring 1+2, did he not get the message that this ISN'T working?

4. RE: The Lewis comments from the Obama campaign:

“Senator Obama does not believe that John McCain or his policy criticism is in any way comparable to George Wallace or his segregationist policies," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. "But John Lewis was right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night, as well as the baseless and profoundly irresponsible charges from his own running mate that the Democratic nominee for President of the United States ‘pals around with terrorists.’

"As Barack Obama has said himself, the last thing we need from either party is the kind of angry, divisive rhetoric that tears us apart at a time of crisis when we desperately need to come together. That is the kind of campaign Senator Obama will continue to run in the weeks ahead."

See John? They disassociated the remarks with you, and were condemning only the actions of your crowd. Stop beating your chest. You are not an aggrieved party here. When your supporters are caught on tape holding monkeys with Obama gear on them and yelling "Kill Him" and "Terrorist", yes, that is something that people are going to be angry about.
