Oddly enough, it just might help things. The media had zero willingness to cover this story while it was still considered valid, but as it's a hoax, they can now cover it as such. This brings it into the public mind, and the idea that it could happen, even as a copycat might be enough to get the mushy middle a bit worried.
Stories of vandalism to McCain-signed houses and cars will start to show up first on blogs, then in MSM stories. Whatever ties Hussein to violence will work in our favor.
You have hit the nail exactly on the head. Obama will still be the “black candidate” when his minions go overboard on this story.
Plenty of other stories that the media and Obama campaign has so far chosen to avoid acknowledging in the national media.
And to take out any notion of race from this, all of these same type of actions occurred in 2004 when the presidential candidate was John Kerry.
