McCain aide circulates Obama/Wright video, is suspended

[maddezmom]

An aide to John McCain was suspended from the campaign today for blasting out an inflammatory video that raises questions about Barack Obama's patriotism.

Soren Dayton, who works in McCain's political department, sent out the YouTube link of "Is Obama Wright?" on twitter at 12:31 today with the tag, "Good video on Obama and Wright." It has since been taken down.

Twitter is an online device that allows users to send out short messages and links en masse through computers or PDAs.

McCain and his campaign have repeatedly said that they would stay away from personal attacks on Obama, but the temptation has increased as Wright's words have dominated the race in recent days.

6. Huckabee was defending Obama AND Wright yesterday

On MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' yesterday, he refused to condemn Wright, and said that if he had suffered that legacy of discrimination he'd have a pretty big chip on his shoulder too.

John McCain is avoiding using the Pastor Wright videos because he wants to run against Barack Obama. But make no mistake... If Barack Obama gets the Democratic nomination, then McCain or a surrogate will cart out the Wright videos and probably some more dirt on Wright which we don't even know about.

8. From another post:

Put x out there by meaningless staffer.

Summon umbrage.

Fire meaningless staffer.

Bask in the glow of straight-talkedness.

Snicker about it later, among staff.
