Will McCain fire this guy?

 A local newspaper columnist, in a spoof of Obama?s platform, wrote in one recent piece that the Democrat would hire the rapper Ludacris to paint the White House black (a reference to a pro-Obama song by Ludacris), and divert more foreign aid to Africa so "the Obama family there can skim enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream." He joked that Obama would replace the 50 stars on the U.S. flag "with a star and crescent logo," an Islamic symbol, and that his policy on drugs would be to "raise taxes to pay for Obama's inner-city political base."

The columnist, Bobby May, is also treasurer of the Buchanan County Republican Party and was listed in a July news release as the county's representative on McCain's Virginia leadership team, though he said his column reflected his views alone, and he denied it was racist.

Here's a link to the racist piece.

And here's some information about the leadership team.  It is definitely an arm of the campaign and not an independent group.

I sincerely hopes McCain fires this guy.

  • Wow. That's just disgusting. Will McCain do anything? I can only hope so. But I'm not holding my breath. I guess it all depends on how much press/public push-back occurs.
  • Well now's as good a time as any to have this come up...preferably in an attack ad!

  • That's tame compared to what the McCain campaign has claimed credit for...   but they should fire him anyway.  If you are part of a campaign you cannot say those things.
