On Larry King last night, McCain admitted that Barack Obama is not a Socialist! Whew, I can put down my pitchfork and torch.
Of course this won't stop McCain's campaign from saying that Obama IS a Socialist.
For example on the William Ayers "issue," McCain has repeatedly said that he "doesn't care" about a "washed-up" terrorist like Ayers, and he's said that Obama is "a decent person and a person you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States." He's consistently said that he only raises Ayers because he feels that Obama has not been honest about that relationship: "It's a factor about Sen. Obama's candor and truthfulness with the American people."
So when his campaign issues robocalls -- interrupts people in their homes in order to convey one urgent thing to unsure voters -- are they about McCain's plan to improve the desperate financial situation? Do they clarify McCain's health care plan? Do they even say that Americans shouldn't trust Obama because he has misled them about his relatioinship with a guy named Bill Ayers? No, they say that Obama "has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose
organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home and
killed Americans."
