Alas this may only win points for McCain among many Americans who will refuse to see or acknowledge the damage to American foreign policy nor understand why it is hate speech and instead see it as a patriotic truth.

Better late than never for the MSM. It would seem that McCain and most republicans don't have the foresight to see past their current speech, however, I don't think they would be where they are if they were that dim. On the contrary, the reality is more insulting. Politicians constantly demonstrate that they don't believe the public is intelligent or engaged enough to remember what was said yesterday and they can rely on the MSM to cover their tracks. Thanks to internet video, we can remind each other of the truth and expose the liars.

Very true. Factcheck their asses. This is a reason Scientology is targeting people without net access.. they know connected citizens are too well informed to fall for it.
