I'm Not a Huge McCain Fan, But...

... this impressed me. Regarding the whole Obama / Pastor Wright controversy:

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, broke her silence on the matter Tuesday, saying she would have parted company with a pastor who spoke about the country the way Wright has.

Asked about the controversy Wright's comments have created, Republican John McCain said while campaigning in Denver: "I can only say that I am sure, knowing Senator Obama, that he does not share the extreme views that were expressed that I saw on television."

This was an easy opportunity for him to take a potshot at Obama (enter Hillary, of course), but he chose not to do so.

Somewhere in Texas, Karl Rove is screaming at his television, "You should have taken him down and turned him into a walking Scary Black Man stereotype, you idiot! What the hell is wrong with you?"

McCain will not even use or allow his people to use Obama's middle name, Hussain, feeling it is not in the best interest of the campaign. Right or wrong he wants a clean campaign. You think the dems feel the same?

Thank you.

This might shed light on some of the prevailing attitudes:

As Ferraro stated, and now others of the Black community agree with, if the man was not Black he would have not ever been competing to become president of the US.
Here's Obama's 2002 speech on the war in Iraq.

Here's Obama's Military Voting record as a Senator.

But I'm pretty sure neither will sway you from your carefully crafted position.

BTW, I'm shocked you didn't bring up Obama's Muslim terrorist training - his middle name is Hussein afterall.

Of course, my response was meant in part to show how silly some lines of "reasoning" can be.

I do believe this Pastor Wright and other nonsense will fade into dust as the election process continues. With $4.00/gallon gasoline, record high mortgage foreclosures and 4,000 soldiers dead in Iraq, we have other things to worry about.
