Olbermann and Wolffe Agree: McCain Getting Pass for "Not Important" Gaffe
It has been talked about on just about every political show I've seen, but almost in a nonchalant, excusing way. Tucker Carlson resorted to the old "He Belives it Too" argument people use when they can't defend their own candidate. Saying Obama believes the same thing McCain does (which is not true). And Keith Olbermann and Richard Wolf just basically said if this were Obama, he would be getting attacked harder than McCain.

1. He's been getting a pass since the very beginning of this. Not surprising.
This story will likely be gone before morning. That damn 24-hour news cycle.

2. And if it were Clinton...she'd be getting drawn and quartered.
Then the discussion panel would all laugh at her.

4. Which begs the question..
Why? Even, though, we know the obvious answer. Because, the fascist media is john mccain's Propaganda Central BASE.
