    A good illustration of Michael Kinsley’s axiom that a gaffe is usually someone speaking the truth.

    I think this story, about how JOHN MCCAIN isn’t a WARMONGER, should be spread as widely as possible.

    It is important for people to understand the truth about the JOHN MCCAIN-WARMONGER story. Which is, that JOHN MCCAIN is not a WARMONGER.

    Some have said that JOHN MCCAIN is a WARMONGER, but the Obama campaign disagrees. It is disrespectful to call JOHN MCCAIN a WARMONGER. And since the story is, sigh, already out there that JOHN MCCAIN IS A WARMONGER, and since it was someone at a Barack Obama rally who said that JOHN MCCAIN IS A WARMONGER, it is the responsibility of the Obama campaign to put out the word on the JOHN MCCAIN IS A WARMONGER story.

    Which is, of course, that it is unfair to say that JOHN MCCAIN IS A WARMONGER.

    Unfortunately, it might take some time for this message to sink in. For some reason, people might still connect JOHN MCCAIN and WARMONGER in their minds, so the Obama campaign really need to take the bull by the horns, and keep on putting out the message about the JOHN MCCAIN-WARMONGER statement, which, once again, is that JOHN MCCAIN is not a WARMONGER.

    Joe’s got the idea, which is what tempers my irritation with this.

    But, just for the record, this isn’t true: it was someone at a Barack Obama rally who said that JOHN MCCAIN IS A WARMONGER.

    It was Ed Schultz, on his own radio show. Which only makes the point of your comment stronger.

    This is getting too confusing, Nell. The Obama campaign really needs to redouble its efforts to address this in a highly-visible manner.
