McCain Abdicates Responsibility for His Surrogates 2
No, McHack can’t be a referee of every advertisement.
But he could publically disavow lies and smears (emphasis added).
“I can’t be a referee of every spot run on television,†McCain told the Herald in an exclusive interview. “I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, but we all know there are groups who want to attack me.â€
The Arizona senator’s hands-off posture on attack ads by now-infamous tax-free and unaccountable political groups called 527s marks a softening of his view on the negative campaign tactic – and opens the door to a no-holds-barred five-month scramble.

It’s worse than you think. The very freedom to even have campaign commercials is not a valued right to this man – so surprise to me that he doesn’t care what’s on them.

Oh, well. Take comfort. He may believe something entirely different tomorrow.
