He didn't need to correct himself. In context, what he said was correct. IOW, McCain has not talked about Obama being a Muslim. Rather easy to understand, IMO.
He also is correct in that a LOT of misinformation is spread over the internet via blogs and political websites. One side is just as guilty as the other.
I also applaud the fact that Obama refused to discuss Palin's 17-years-old daughter. I hadn't heard of that prior to this article. An obvious showing of class some freaks on this board could learn from.
I'm STILL not going to vote for him, but credit where it is due.
And a lameass accusation like this just makes the right look bad.
Obama can't afford to attack people's families. And he doesn't have to attack because his attack machine does it for him. He just needs to sit back and look good. Republicans are routinely pummelled by that machine, and this is the first election in my memory that they've actively fought back or used any of the same tactics. It's just the give and take of political strategy.
Also let's not forget...the most heinous accusations of Obama ORIGINATED WITHIN THE DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN MACHINE, NOT the Republican. That the Republicans have taken misinformation spread by Hillary's campaigners and run with it shouldn't surprise anyone.
