I guess since Democrats have a candidate who has naive and stupid positions, they have to distort the views of John McCain. First it was the "100 years in Iraq" misquote, which numbskulls like Jeromy Brown tried to distort.
You just have to be an idiot--or desperate--to think McCain's statement was that he wanted to be at war in Iraq for 100 years. We've been in Germany and Japan for 50 years and somehow, we aren't losing a bunch of soldiers there. But don't expect Obamaidiots to get it.
Right Wing News reports on the latest distortion of a McCain statement.
McCain just did not say that bringing the troops home is "not too important." What he said was that having an estimate of when the troops can come home is "not too important. What's important is the casualties in Iraq."
This isn't much different from Jeromy Brown's blathering about soldiers dying for 100 years in Iraq. RWN has the video of McCain's statement.
Expect more of these lies and distortions given Barack Obama's inability to put together a coherent sentence without it being pre-written.
UPDATE: Carol Platt Liebau at Townhall.com says Obama needs to be asked flat out if he thinks McCain is too old to be president.
If he says "yes," well, there goes the new tone -- along with a good portion of the elder vote (and, unlike the youth vote, it's one that tends to head reliably to the polls). If he says "no," then there's the response each time one of his surrogates tries to play around with words like "confused." If he weasels, well, it's just another opportunity to point out that with Barack, one may be getting a lot of words without getting a lot of substance.
The point is that in a graying society, it's not perhaps the smartest approach to act as though an obviously capable presidential candidate is in his dotage simply because he misspeaks from time to time. After all, old age wouldn't explain Barack's well-documented history of gaffes.
But -- as McCain's people might be well-advised to point out -- perhaps youth and inexperience would.
Obama courts the youngsters but they aren't the ones who vote. Don't hack off the old people.
