RE: “So what, the Barry goon squad is now going to come out blabbing the talking point—McCain said Obama is not really a terrorist but in fact a great guy! What the heck kind of message is that?”
Love it! And I agree totally — this is much ado about nothing! Even some of the right-wingers on talk radio have said before now that if Obama happens to “win” it won’t be the end of the world and that he is not the anti-Christ. He’s wrong, and has very shady friends, and is probably way too involved in the various scandals that surround him but who could really argue that it appears he is an OK guy.
Heck, Hillary and McCain are quite friendly; imagine if she was his opposition now. She could be throwing daggers and he’d be complimenting her. That’s how he is — A lot of people here need to calm down. Oh, and there’s probably a fair amount of strategic thinking involved in Mac’s comments than we know, too.
