The general's comments about McCain's military service have been unfairly twisted. But some Obama supporters are going too far in their McCain attacks.
Joan Walsh [2008-07-01]

  • This really getting tired

    I am disgusted by this phenomenon. A certain candidate's backers say or do something that some other candidate's fans think is wrong or in poor taste, and then this incident is used to heap scorn upon the first candidate.

    WHATEVER. What I understand that Senator Obama cannot control what some of his supporters say. Funny thing, that. According to some people, he apparently should be able to magically rein in thousands of people (if not more), some of whom CNN staff want to wave their microphones in front of.

    This is as tired as the critique regarding why didn't Obama criticize the media's sexism more than he did. Here's my opinion: a strong woman like Hillary doesn't need him to take up for her. If some guy has to go on about the media's mistreatment of Hillacious, then let Bill be that guy.

    Could the reason Obama didn't rail against the press' treatment of HRC be because he's a candidate, not a pundit?
