I see no difference between

I see no difference between this rumor and the alleged Michelle Obama videotape. It's a rumor advanced by people on a certain side of the political spectrum to smear the nominee on other side.

Sure, McCain has a vicious temper and it may well have happened. (And I think the allegations on Michelle Obama are complete bullshit). But McCain's supposed transgression is not on videotape and there's no proof. The alleged reporters that overheard the comment aren't coming forward and they're not being outed and asked about the incident. What we have now is only hearsay. Some lefties are now treating it as 100% true.

Yesterday I got Francis Holland's press release via email (if that's the best term) with the word "c*nt" in the headline - and subject line in the email. Way to go Francis.

Barack Obama will be particularly vulnerable, more so between now and the election. His race, his cultural background, his upbringing etc. make him very vulnerable to a bunch of sleazy lies. This "whitey video" crap is only the beginning.

Words to live by

"I must admit moreover that it may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The tendency of a usurpation on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best guarded by an entire abstinence of the Government from interference in any way whatever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect against trespass on its legal rights by others."


— -- James Madison, letter to Reverend Adams, in Robert L. Maddox, Separation of Church and State: Guarantor of Religious Freedom (1987) p. 39
