Democrat Makes Crap Up. ABC Reports It.

According to ABC’s Political Radar, a “veteran Democratic operative” has found a slanderous message in John McCain’s latest ad: “a l q D.”

“al qD” is meaningless by itself. [And] The “l” is actually the capital “I” in “Iraq…”

Despite this meaninglessness, ABC goes on to say that the McCain never should have let “a l q D” appear for a split-second in their seven-minute ad because if you type “al qD” into Google, the reply you get is, Did you mean: al qaeda. Therefore, this glimpse of meaninglessness translates into subliminally calling Obama a terrorist.

Of course, the problem with this is that “al qD” doesn’t appear on the screen — “a l q D” does. And when you type that into Google, the answer you get is, Did you mean: a l o u d. So… if there’s any truth to any of this, it would be that the McCain camp is calling Obama a loud mouth.

Still, why not run with it. We here at Spolitics would like to go one better. If you look carefully, you will also see the letters “ID t” which of course means the McCain camp was subliminally calling Obama an idiot.

Lastly… what’s most interesting about all of this is that Rick Klein quoted the “veteran Democratic operative” anonymously. Why? Why on Earth would someone commenting on an ad need anonymity. Unless… the person works for the Obama campaign. Is this just a desperate attempt to change the focus from the fact that Obama has been all over the place when it comes to his Iraq strategy?
