So Bob, do you think if McCain had NOT denounced the ad it would have made a difference in how the media behaves, with the way they spread lies as fact? Don’t you think it’d have had quite the opposite effect?

What about the last five years while the media has parroted the “Bush Lied” meme that the Left keeps repeating? Republicans have been aggressively refuting that lie all along, but it hasn’t gone away.

I’m also pissed about how the media is fed their talking points by the Left, but confirming their accusations isn’t the way to change their behavior.

Disagree with the “point”. The media will always hold the most important Republican available for any scandal (Bush41 for Willie Horton - he had nothing to do with it - Al Gore broke the story and gets off scot free). Someone more articulate than Bush43 - and our Republican “leader” talking heads should so aggressively refute these lies that the media stops pounding them home.

Too bad we don’t have any Republican leaders.

I see your point about McCain, Beth, and, rethinking it, I think you are right, at least as far as he goes.

I totally disagree - I think McCain absolutely did the right thing distancing himself from that. Remember Willie Horton? People associate that with Bush ‘41, not Floyd Brown and Citizens United, and Bush had NOTHING to do with it. Remember McCain’s “illegitimate black baby?” McCain himself resented W because of that crap, and W didn’t have anything to do with it, either. People still talk about how ugly 2000 in SC was because of that smear, and Bush was the one who was held responsible for it in the long run. This NC GOP ad is nothing like that “illegitimate baby” smear, but still–it’s close enough to the belt that McCain had to speak up, or he’d be accused of negative campaigning, and it’s not even an ad for him.

It’s also just plain disingenuous–those two candidates can be faulted for supporting teh Obamination, but they don’t have a thing to do with Jeremiah Wrong. But most of all, John McCain doesn’t need to be tarnished by it, especially when he’s letting the Dummocrats self-destruct.
