McCain/Palin: where does their rhetoric go from here?
Monday, October 13th, 2008Palin: “Obama impregnated a white woman out of wedlock, then had the baby aborted because the intrauterine camera showed it looked too white.”
McCain: “Well, that’s not entirely correct, but part of it is true. Obama IS for abortion. Besides, his wife worked with Bernadine Dohrn, and who knows what that wild bitch might do?”
Corporate news media: “Palin’s claim seems to be significantly exaggerated. But then, Obama claimed that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time; and yet, depending on how far back you go, you can get a number that’s less than 90%. As you can see, BOTH SIDES of this hotly disputed race are distorting each other’s records. McCain, being the honorable man he is, has of course distanced himself from Palin’s controversial remarks.”
Okay, none of this really happened…but it almost might as well have.
