WaPo’s ‘Macaca’ Man Underlines It’s Unfair to Make Ayers a Campaign Issue
Monday, October 13th, 2008Sowing The Seeds Of Hatred - John Lewis
On Sunday, when Rep. John Lewis elastically compared John McCain to the KKK bombers of a Birmingham church, the bland, indirect Washington Post headline was “Issue of Race Creeps Into Campaign.” On Monday, picking up on a Time magazine report that Virginia Republican Party chair Jeff Frederick compared Obama to Osama bin Laden to campaign volunteers – “both have friends that bombed the Pentagon” – the Post used the direct headline: “GOP Head Compares Obama to bin Laden.”
The story was by reporter Tim Craig. To Post junkies, this is amusing or sickening, depending on your point of view. Craig was one of two Post political reporters who spent 2006 making an enormous mountain out of George Allen’s utterance of “macaca.” Now he’s suggesting that a friendship and Obama’s working relationship with an unrepentant terrorist is unfair campaign grist.
