Yet as they harped on how terrible, mean-spirited and even overtly racist it all was, none of them <B>ever</B> said who was responsible for any of it. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/01/21/mccain/index.html"><P> In their narrative, McCain was the sympathetic victim -- that was always clear -- but every time they described it, they would strain to use the passive voice, so as to avoid any mention of who the culprit of the "smear campaign" actually was (as in: "In 2000, McCain was the target of an ugly smear campaign in South Carolina suggesting he had an out-of-wedlock black daughter and that he suffered from mental problems due to his POW years, etc."). As <I>The Politico</I>'s Jonathan Martin <A href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/7962_Page2.html" target="_blank">put it</A>:</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/42DAAF28-3B31-4244-ABF7-6D68CB725179/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
