According to many in the media, McCain demonstrated a measure of contrition yesterday when he called for Obama to be treated with respect and rebuked the ignorant comments of several supporters. Although these gestures indicated to some that the McCain campaign intended to turn down the rhetoric--even if only for tactical reasons--the project of highlighting Obama's supposed "otherness" continued today at a rally in Iowa.
This is going to be short and to the point; but here's yet another and highly relevant instance of McCain either lying, being oblivious, or some combination of the two.

Palin needs to be demythologized sooner rather than later. The McCain campaign can and will attempt to blur the distinction between personal attacks and legitimate, substantive criticism of Palin's record, but that approach will become increasingly transparent the more indiscriminately it's used. Cogent, fact-based critiques of her political doings will likely shift the attention from the more gossipy fare that the McCain campaign is attempting to falsely associate with Obama.
Today Oprah finds herself accused of being the latest "media elite" to persecute Sarah Palin, as supporters accuse the talk show host of bias for not booking a Palin appearance.
This is my first diary. It's a relatively brief one, but I find this quite interesting.
