John McCain still thinks the MSM is an independent, unbiased arbiter of the news. That is the only explanation for his foolish attempts to tamp down the surge of anger against Obama. I don't disagree with his telling a woman that Obama wasn't an Arab, but telling people they needn't fear an Obama Administration is just wrong. It collides with the narrative they have rolled out for the past week that he has connections to radicals; it hampers the ability to call Obama what he is- a social engineering man of the deep left; it erodes the one area where McCain has a lead- foreign policy. Didn't he say just last week that Obama was dangerously naive? He's dangerously naive, but don't be scared! The only explanation for this is McCain has been reading or watching the editorial natterings of the MSM, and taken them to heart. "Oh, I'm making people angry by telling them that Obama has seriously flawed judgment; better tell them he's a good guy, and there's nothing to be afraid of if he wins. Maybe then the New York Times will like me again." They'll love you when you lose, John, they'll love you when you lose.
