This is the Truth Squad! Assume the position!

The Obama campaign, whether by design or religious fervor, has a very disturbing habit of seeking to silence critics rather than engage them. I suppose it does get annoying to hear people say mean things about you when you’re accustomed to having an adoring media suppress all those confusing and inconvenient facts.

It’s probably overstating things to say that Obama “imploded“, but he did say some things that I think he’ll regret when they’re rightfully pointed out by the McCain campaign. (I’m sure that some parts of his base are not happy to hear his backhanded admission that we’re winning [...]
