Accepted Wisdom

Jennifer Rubin - 09.16.2008 - 11:12 AM

The MSM, as John notes, is now fully into “McCain is a bigger liar” mode. There is no stopping them, the MSM that is. “Exhibit A” in the indictment is McCain’s ad noting that Barack Obama supported a Senate bill which provided for “comprehensive sex education for kindergarteners.” Well, McCain is right — the text of the bill can be read and, as Byron York documents, the bill specifically extended AIDS instruction from grades 6-12 down to K-12.

Now what does this remind you of? The Born Alive Infants Protection Act. The same elements are evident: the MSM doesn’t bother with the legislative details, the facts are not on Obama’s side, Obama either cast a reflexive, uniformed vote with liberal activists or actually supported a far-Left agenda, and those who challenge Obama are “liars.”

One thing we know: the louder the Obama camp screams, the more problematic the issue. And they are screaming very loud on this one.
