A Rebuke to Obama for the McCarthy Slur
Posted by Damozel | As I said,this time the Obama campaign's trademark fake hysterical outrage over something else Bill Clinton didn't actually say has gone way, way over the line. Pointing out that Barack Obama was standing right next to McPeak when McPeak compared Clinton to Senator McCarthy, Larry Johnson asks, "Senator Obama, Have You No Decency?"
Obama's people carry on exactly as if Hillary Clinton had no supporters who might be alienated by this ridiculous insult. It's bizarre.

Damozel, have you seen a transcript or youtube clip of the "McCarthy" line in context? I haven't, but the longest clip of the speech that I've heard contained lots of nice things about the Clintons.
Seeing as how this whole "issue" was caused by taking something Bill Clinton said and distorting it a bit, I just want to make sure we aren't doing the same thing on the other end...
