Typical RAT tactic. The messiah lost, so they claim McCain cheated. After all, RATS always cheat, so they always accuse Republicans of cheating, because they can’t imagine playing fair. This is like their “two stolen elections”, or their sneers about the “swift boat liars”. They know they always lie and cheat, so they always accuse their opponents of cheating and lying. Just like the USSR always did.

As far as I can tell, this Cone article is the only NYT follow up on the event, save for the original report:

In Forum at Church, Rivals Meet Briefly and Part Sharply on Social Issues

The NYT is getting the meme out that McCain "cheated", without actually saying so. They'll rely on the rest of the MSM to take it from there, using this original NYT report as the source. As transparent as it is pathetic.

Exactly.

Liberals think of cheating when they lose because they cheat every chance they get ... they expect cheating like a wino longs for a bed in a brewery.

Right on! Cheating is SOP for so many RATS they think everyone does it.

I am so sick and tired of the “cheating” claims. OMG! Everything is a conspiracy or cheating. It grows old and wearisome.
