The B-Word


If I were Steve Schmidt, I'd be trying to turn this into Willie Horton tout de suite.

If I were David Axelrod, I'd try to get out in front of this. I know the fear is to make the story bigger, but maybe if Obama one-upped McCain's repudiation of his wingnut supporters in a general way, talked about how this election was important but we're all Americans and if there are people who are going to beat each other up based on their political views, he doesn't want their votes. How about that?

UPDATE: Maybe it's a hoax. Still, Mystery Dem doesn't see how Obama loses anything by vaguely disavowing impolite supporters.

UPDATE: OK, it's a hoax. Um, as you were.

Or even better, Obama could go into an airport bathroom and carve a reverse swastika into his forehead.
