liberal media HATING McCain camp just because they get a little confused about the facts sometimes
I guess we'll have to keep explaining to them over and over the difference between factual truth and emotional truth.
Sen. John McCain’s top campaign aides convened a conference call today to complain of being called “liars.” They pressed the media to scrutinize specific elements of Sen. Barack Obama’s record.
But the call was so rife with simple, often inexplicable misstatements of fact that it may have had the opposite effect: to deepen the perception, dangerous to McCain, that he and his aides have little regard for factual accuracy.
The errors in McCain strategist Steve Schmidt’s charges against Obama and Sen. Joe Biden were particularly notable because they seemed unnecessary. Schmidt repeatedly gilded the lily: He exaggerated the Biden family's already problematic ties to the credit card industry; Obama’s embarrassing relationship with a 1960s radical; and an Obama supporter’s over-the-top attack on Sarah Palin when — in each case — the truth would have been damaging enough.
“Any time the Obama campaign is criticized at any level, the critics are immediately derided as liars,” Schmidt told reporters. (Yeah! And since you always lie about us being liars, that means every time you accuse us of lying, you're lying again, so we're not the liars, you're the liars - LIARS! Ed.)
But as he went on to list a series of stories he thought reporters should be writing about Obama and Biden, in almost every instance he got the details wrong.

Bill Kristol is a joker
"Never before have we had someone running for President in a time of war who was so unqualified to be Commander-in-Chief." --BK, on Barack Obama, July 20
"I actually think Sarah Palin would be a great vice-presidential pick." --BK, June 29
Remember, this guy writes a column for the New York Times...and you don't.

Whee! I know a secret!
The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, preferring not to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.
Correction: Graf should end: "...preferring not to be blamed for pre-empting a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning -- but obviously relishing the opportunity to in fact do so."
