Personally I have my reservations about what actually happened. Regardless of what happened the MSM is picking up this story and running with it. Allegedly MSNBC, CNN, and many major online newspapers has it on their front page. We need to know exactly what happened before the extreme right attempts to twist this into a partisan advantage and they already are trying. In my opinion, the MSM is doing the public a disservice in their characterization of the attack. For example, on the Houston Chronicle's front page the headline is McCain sticker sets off vicious attack on Texan. The truth is nobody knows what happened including the media. We at Daily Kos are on the frontline of fighting back the smears and dirty tricks of the right-wing. An Obama canvasser was attacked in Wisconsin but it didn't make headline news. Let's not allow Rovian/Swiftboat politics to get in front of this story with damaging political and racial insinuations. Just like Joe the plumber was fact checked, I believe we need to fact check this since it's obvious the MSM won't do it.
UPDATE:
The Kos Community is smart and can debunk stories quickly. However, we need to remain vigilant and ensure media outlets are reporting the truth. Remember, the average citizen see's a headline and keeps on moving. They do not bother to follow up on the truthfullness of a story. So my point is if we know the truth, we can help fight potential damaging narratives and rumors propagated by the media and right-wing.
