TIME's MARK HALPERIN: McCain should consider racist attacks on Obama
by John Aravosis (DC) · 2/26/2008 08:56:00 AM ET ·\\


Nothing is off-limits when the media wants to attack Democrats:

*******************************

Things McCain can do when running against Obama that Clinton has been unable to do well or at all:

....Allow some supporters to risk being accused of using the race card when criticizing Obama....

Emphasize Barack Hussein Obama’s unusual name and exotic background through a Manchurian Candidate prism.

Who needs the Swift Boat Veterans when you have TIME's Mark Halperin and AP's Nedra Pickler to do their dirty work for them?

3. St. John will just have his friends do it - then condemn them after the fact.

That's how St. John McCain rolls.

4. This kind of crap is why I cancelled my Time subscription years ago.

They're almost as biased as Fox News.

6. It'll work about as well as Clinton's incompetent attempts to race-bait.

7. Good. And We Will Counter With 100 Year War

I don't think the majority of Americans are stupid enough to fall for race baiting vs 100 years of war.

8. Seems To Me McCain Is More The Manchurian Candidate Than....

Obama. How long was McCain in captivity in Nam?

9. Recall: McCain Adviser Won't Fight Obama

February 13, 2008 6:48 PM

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: A top adviser to John McCain said Wednesday that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.

"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

McKinnon, who was a Democrat before serving as President Bush's ad maker in 2000 and 2004, said that he plans to be behind McCain "100 percent" no matter who the Democratic nominee is. He explained, however, that if the Democrats nominate Obama, he will be supporting McCain "from the sidelines."

While saying that he does not agree with Obama on every issue, McKinnon gushed about the Illinois Democrat.

"I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal," said McKinnon. "I disagree with him on very fundamental issues. But I think, as I said, I think it would a great race for the country."

10. He will. Or his surrogates will and he will deny that it had anything to do with his campaign.

The same way Wolfson is saying those pictures did not come from us and then tried to turn it around on Obama.
