I dislike McCain as much as anyone, but his quote is being misused here and once again we appear to be taking the MSM/rat bait.

A couple of days ago I read what he actually said. He suggested the IRS investigate political PACS in general(I forget the designation). He apparently never said only to investigate the TEA party, or new conservative groups.

What the IRS did was to only investigate the conservative side. Actually, they TARGETED the conservative side.

McCain shouldn't be reelected to anything, but he apparently did nothing wrong on this front.

Thanks for the set-right.

It seems that a lot of people are engaging in Fear Porn and Political Exaggeration Porn lately.

Just because the other side lies outright, we shouldn't follow suit.
