I just saw that McCain issued some erratic statement today calling on Obama to apologize because Rep. John Lewis said that McCain and Palin “are playing a very dangerous game” with their hate-inspiring rhetoric. Just two months ago, McCain told us that same John Lewis was one of the wisest people he knew.

Obama refused to apologize for what Lewis said. Why should he considering how many Republicans are basically saying the same thing including David Gergen and McCain’s former strategy guru, John Weaver? Add in Republican Congressman Ray Lahood.

Also, interesting that McCain attacks Lewis but he has yet to repudiate his followers’ repeated calls for Obama to be assassinated – calls they made in front of McCain’s and Palin’s faces, while McCain and Palin did nothing in response. Calling on Obama to repudiate John Lewis while letting all the hate rhetoric go unchallenged, that’s just priceless.

But hey, McCain’s team has already said that if McCain talks about the economic crisis, he will lose the election. McCain is going to do anything and everything to change the subject away from the economy. How erratic. How sad.
