Last week Kagro X posted an item regarding Karl Rove's weak attempt at spinning John McCain's mathematical adventures in house counting. Rove claimed on Fox News that by mocking this gaffe, Obama was actually in effect "attacking" John McCain's wife, since the houses in question also belong to Cindy McCain, and were bought with her money. Rove went on to essentially claim that this meant Obama had no business complaining about the treatment his wife was getting in the campaign. (Kargo X linked the video if you're having trouble believing it)
You'd think that this was really stretching it, even for Rove and the concern trolls on the right, but then that would mean overlooking the fact that they have Sean Hannity on their side. Today on his radio show, (ironically after taking another shot at Michelle Obama), Hannity showed that he got the memo from Rove. In summing up what viewers would see at the convention this week, Hannity noted that we will see lots of references to John AND Cindy McCain's houses. Not "John McCain's houses", or even "the McCain's houses", but rather John "AND CINDY's" houses.
All I can say is, these guys are scary good. I would think trying to sell people on the idea that Obama was in effect "attacking McCain's wife" would be about as logical as trying to sell Air Conditioners in Barrow. So Hannity does it subtly, by making sure to mention Cindy's name in association with the houses. Typical Rove move as well. It's like raping a girl then calling her a slut. These are the same people who openly mocked John Kerry's marriage in 2004 by suggesting it was all about the money. These are the same people who dragged Michelle Obama into the spotlight in the first place. Now they want people to believe Obama is the one "attacking" their opponents spouse, and they're almost good enough to succeed.
