A clear example of why Obama needs to be free to use as much money as possible to fight it, not be limited by public financing so that the 527's can swiftboat him to death while McCain clutches his pearls and mocks outrage about the ads while doing nothing to stop them. These are the people Obama meant when he said "They're", not all of the repubs in the country. You have a tendency to take things out of context in order to provide examples of an erroneous point. And please do not say that McCain has not called him naive and inexperienced. He has. And speaking of civility, does that include constant attacks on Michelle Obama by Cindy McCain on the morning talk shows? Even after Laura Bush herself said that Michelle was taken out of context. Hopefully, the civil McCains will stop this line of attack now that video of McCain saying that he didn't really love this country until he was deprived of her company. Should that be taken out of context as well? And speaking of financing, McCain broke his own campaign financing reform rules when he backpedalled out of being stuck with public funding for the general. Where is your outrage over that, sir? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbsihrdn-_s
