From The Chicago Tribune:
The campaign of Sen. John McCain suspended an aide Thursday for distributing a YouTube video linking Sen. Barack Obama with his longtime pastor, whose history of intemperate remarks has roiled the presidential campaign in recent days.
The aide, Soren Dayton, used a personal account on Twitter.com to send a link to the two-and-a-half-minute video. The video intersperses Obama speeches and interviews with selected inflammatory snippets of sermons by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. McCain has said publicly that he wants to run a civil campaign.
I thought the video was quite good. It raises all the questions that Obama has yet to adequately explain. His speech about race was as eloquent as it was empty. If Obama thinks that little speech is going to make this whole issue go away he’s dreaming.
The fact that Obama’s closest friend and mentor is a black militant is a legitimate issue and one that will continue to haunt his campaign.
What do you think about the video?
