If John McCain Thinks the Press is Attacking Him Now...
He Can Wait a Bit
Eric Boehlert, HuffPo
When McCain gets regularly portrayed in the press as a serial liar the way
Al Gore was in 2000, then he can complain about getting bad press.
When McCain is portrayed as an angry lunatic the way Howard Dean was in
2003, then he can complain. When McCain's war record is dragged through the mud
while the press looks on for weeks too frightened to call out the partisan
accusers, the way John Kerry's military record was, then he can complain. When
McCain's campaign is defined by his haircut the way John Edwards' was, then he
can complain. When McCain is portrayed as a cackling witch the way Hillary
Clinton was this winter, then he can complain. When McCain is portrayed as
arrogant and presumptuous the way Obama is today, then he can complain.
But pretending that when the press simply chronicles McCain's disjointed
campaign means that reporters and pundits have somehow turned on the candidate
-- that they are attacking him and piling on -- is just ludicrous.
How does any American expect to gain intelligence from a
person of color? Who would be so misled to betray his race to a white person?
Sure, the US
can bribe an Afghan $300 per month to be a soldier. When attacked the 'soldier'
lays low without firing a shot. Then, the Americans wonder why they suffer
disproportionate casualties. Everybody wants a Green Card. When he wants to
marry, he sends overseas to wed a home girl. As soon as he gets forty quarters
for Social Security, he returns home so he can beat his wife without Police
interference.
Those foolish enough to want to be citizens risk being tortured and put to
death by Homeland Security. Read Jason Ng's story on my blog.]
That's real piling on...
