“I want to disassociate myself from any disparaging remarks that may have been said,” McCain said at the top of a media availability after the rally. “I have repeatedly stated of my respect for Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, that I will treat them with respect that I will call them Senator. We will have respectful debate as I have said on hundreds of occasions. I regret any comments that may be made about these two individuals who are honorable Americans…it will never happen again.”
McCain added that he also believes it is inappropriate to make use of Obama’s middle name for political purposes.
During his remarks, Cunningham said Obama has gotten overly easy treatment from the media and stated his hope that they will “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama.”
“At some point, the media will quit taking sides in this thing and maybe start covering Barack Hussein Obama the same way they covered Bush, the same way they covered Cheney and the same way the cover every Republican,” he said, also mockingly describing Obama’s foreign policy when he gets into the White House.
“Obama just came back from meeting Ahmadinejad, he’s got a meeting the next week with Kim Jong Il of North Korea. Then he’s going to saddle up next to Hezbollah, they’re going to have a little cookie and cream party,” Cunningham said.
This is a tricky, layered piece of information. I’m issuing a “no-conclusions” warning, and elevating the disinformation alert scale to Violet.
