There maybe something to that but this duffus let there McCain hate get the better of them. There is no way you pull something like this by accident. They knew they were posting an excerpt and they were cutting off the front to make a purposeful distortion.
I’m insulted that they thought Freepers were too stupid to catch on to what they were pulling. I guess they got bored with DU.
So it was either a trolling attempt (and a bad one at that), or a serious mental malfunction.
