Just today, Charlie Black, McCain adviser, was quoted in Fortune Magazine as basically saying that another terrorist attack on American soil is good for McCain. He also said that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto was tragic, but it was good because McCain was able to discuss foreign policy- his strength. Later, McCain said 1) he couldn't imagine Black saying these things, and 2)whatever he said was probably taken out of context. A McCain aide said Black never said those things, and Black said he didn't remember saying those things, but apologized if he did.
The above is an example of a campaign mot really getting it- not understanding that words do matter. Charlie Black- yes the same Charlie Black that lobbied for the Enron Loophole, is trying to press fear. The typical Republican tactic of fear is being combined with the Southern Strategy- they want to scare us with the specter of a closeted BLACK Muslim, whose wife is an angry BLACK woman, sitting in the seat of US power, welcoming terrorist in to attack us.
