Quotational Therapy: Part 145 -- Obama, McCain & The 100 Years In Iraq Comment.

Obama Needs To Stop Lying-

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have both made an issue of John McCain's "100 years" in Iraq comment. Obama-- in stump speeches and interviews and such-- incessantly mocks McCain for this comment. But he does more than mock. He engages in politics that are not refreshing, not new, not above the fray, and not transcendent. When he distorts the words of John McCain so blatantly, he is just like any other dirty, lying politician.

Here's the actual exchange:

Questioner: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for fifty years…
McCain: Maybe a hundred. Make it one hundred. We’ve been in South Korea, we’ve been in Japan for sixty years. We’ve been in South Korea for fifty years or so. That’d be fine with me as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. Then it’s fine with me. I would hope it would be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Qaeda is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day.

It is telling that this is the best thing they could come up with so far against Senator McCain.

And here's what CJR says about Obama:

Obama is seriously misleading voters—if not outright lying to them—about exactly what McCain said. And some in the press are failing to call him on it.
....

This matters. Obama has given every indication that his general election strategy on Iraq and foreign policy will be to portray McCain as dangerously bellicose. If he’s going to do so by distorting McCain’s words, the press should forcefully call him out on it each time.

When the typically left-leaning Columbia Journalism Review pillories a Democrat that way, it must be bad.
