“McCain Is Saying”?

Did you know that Sen. McCain recently criticized Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. and those who admired them? That’s what Marty Kaplan says the Paris and Britney ad was all about:

McCain is saying that the people who believed in Bobby Kennedy, the Americans who made him a star, were just as ditzy to believe in his message about ending the war and reducing inequality as they were to worship Marilyn Monroe. The people who rallied on the Mall in amazing numbers to hear Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream, the people who wanted to follow him out of Vietnam, were naive [groupies]; by turning their backs on Nixon and Kissinger, by putting joy ahead of sacrifice, they were undermining America in the world and our troops in Southeast Asia. Those McCain ads are as much about you as they are about Obama.
