Yeah, no personal aspersions there. Nope. John McCain, who actually put a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth on a campaign phone call this week (you may not have read about that because the corporate media didn't really think it was a story), who then went ahead and accused, all over again, injured war hero John Kerry of having faked his medals from Vietnam (didn't hear about that either? silly you, the media only gets outraged when John McCain gets questions about his military service, not when McCain attacks other American war heroes) - yes, that John McCain said today that Barack Obama doesn't support American troops fighting for their lives in Iraq. Just a few days ago, the media was all upset that anyone would even ask John McCain about his qualifications for president. That was unpatriotic, you see. But apparently it's okay for McCain to suggest that Obama hates the troops (hell, David Broder himself said that Democrats don't like the military, so do we really expect him to hold McCain accountable for parroting the same lies?) Then again, John McCain invites all the reporters to lots of barbeques and stuff and he eats donuts with them, and Obama doesn't, so you know, as David Broder says, the media know John McCain's soul and it's white as the driven snow, so they don't need to report the bad stuff about him because there is none. No, their job is make sure that nobody asks John McCain any hard questions, especially questions that they deem unpatriotic, like why he didn't love America until the age of 31. I wonder what Andrea Mitchell and Bob Schieffer have to say about McCain's disgusting attack on Obama's patriotism the day before the 4th of July? Or is it okay to question Barack Obama's patriotism because he's, well, you know.
