Its pretty clear where that group of whiners that McCain was talking about are...they are the Republic pundits who are commenting on his speech right now. I have never seen grown men pout so much or repeat the phrase "fiery ball of hypocrisy" so many times as the Republicans on Larry King Live are right now.
And it is pretty clear that they are grasping at straws too. Unaccustomed to seeing a Democrat actually bring a fight to the opponent's door, all they can grump about is "false insinuations" that they maintain Obama made about McCain. Did he say anything untrue? No. But they are pissed as hell that he apparently insinuated that McCain is dumb, and that McCain did or would or might miss a chance to catch Osama bin Laden.
I would also like to point out that there is some blatant racism going on in some of the comments being made by McCain lap dogs. First of all, why preface your comments on Obama by arguing that there has not been racism in this country for a least a decade. Bullshit. Second of all, stop using violent language and phrases to describe anything in connection with the first black man to be nominated for president by a major party. It's so Reagan its sick. I don't want to hear one more person talk about how Obama is "slashing and burning McCain" or how there is now "blood in the water". The coded language going on here is not going to work and its sickening. Some might say that I am being an oversensitive conspiracy theorist here, but its not true. Start listening to the language of the Republican machine now compared to the language that they have used in the past when talking about white Democratic candidates. Don't let McCain's little congratulatory ad fool you, either. They have nothing to say in response to Obama's epic speech tonight, and so they are spouting an intricate mix of patronizing praise and veiled racist attacks.
When it all comes down to it, you cannot argue with hope, truth, and inspiration. And so, in response to Obama's convention speech McCain's camp has little else left to say.
