Dirty Shot

Why oh why do I seem to end up on the 'Save McCain' platform I will never know. I don't support him at all, and yet he always seems to end up getting attacked like he's got a bullseye on his back.

Take this report from Huffpo:

"AP
McCain Says He Favors "No Gun Control" After Shootings"

No whoh...that sounds pretty exteme, even for McCain. But let's read further:

"The Arizona senator said in Summerville, S.C., that the country needs better ways to identify dangerous people like the gunman who killed 32 people and himself in the Blacksburg, Va., rampage. But he opposed weakening gun rights and, when asked whether ammunition clips sold to the public should be limited in size, said, "I don't think that's necessary at all.""

So he "opposed weakening gun rights" not ending them and said don't limit the sale of ammunition--that's a far cry from "No Gun Control". And a note to Huffpo, when you put something in quotes it usually means that he actually said it.

By the way, here's title of the same story on MSNBC.com:

"McCain stands firm on gun rights after tragedy/ Senator says Va. rampage doesn't change his view on Second Amendment"

Looks like the liberals have learned a few tricks from FOX on how to spin a story. Regardless it's still a dirty trick. If they want to see McCain say something dumb they could have just waited a few hours for his American Idol audition.
