McCain Campaign Calls Obama Un-Patrotic

The first time McCain implied that Obama was a traitor to his country, his campaign’s official response was to reign that statement back in real quick like. But tonight, the McCain has officially endorsed the following statement by Joe Lieberman by emailing it out to their press list as reported on TPM:

“I think it’s 84 days from now that the people of America are going to choose their next president. And it’s a big choice, because we know these are tough times at home economically, and dangerous times in the world. And in my opinion, the choice could not be more clear; between one candidate, John McCain, who has experience and has been tested in war and tried in peace, and another candidate that has not. Between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put his country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate that has not. Between one candidate that’s a talker and one candidate who’s the leader America needs as our next president. You never know — we never know what crisis will occur in the four years of his watch; we’ve just seen over the last few days, as the Russians invaded a sovereign nation, Georgia. And watch the response of this man, John McCain, to that crisis: right, strong, clear, principled. The kind of president we need in the White House over the next four years, to protect our country, our security, and our freedom …”

As Greg Sargent notes, this is an official reversal of past statements made by the McCain campaign that “conceded” that Obama is a “patriot and person of good character.” That’s the difference a month makes in the McCain campaign as I previously noted–one day you’re a patriot and next month you’re a suspected muslim terrorist. How else do you explain the McCain ads that keep appearing thanks to Google contextual advertising on Things More Muslim than Obama? That’s what wanting to president more than clinging to the last vestiges of your dignity does to you. An American war hero has turned himself into a fear-mongering whore. Yes, I did go there.
