From the “What Were They Thinking” File
This presidential campaign has truly been the first to be heavily influenced by the internet and it’s been fascinating to see how the candidates have both succeeded and failied in their approaches.
On the failed side, meet recently suspended McCain aide Soren Dayton, who thought it would be a cool idea to post a tweet on his Twitter account to let his followers and McCain supporters know about a great new video. From TPM:
“A McCain campaign aide actively pushed an incendiary, racially-charged video that uses the controversial words of Barack Obama’s pastor to tar Obama as unpatriotic — despite the fact that McCain himself has suggested that Obama shouldn’t be held accountable for Wright’s views.”
You can go look for the video if you like but I just don’t see the value in linking to it myself. Sort of like I wouldn’t post a like to 2Girls1Cup.
