Grampy McSame is angry. Really angry. You see apparently, they've had it up to here with the liberal media calling them liars, while at the same time giving Obama a free ride. So campaign strategists Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis convened a conference call to register their outrage at the MSM for this unfair treatment and to highlight their criticisms of Senators Obama and Biden, Problem is.....the media ain't buyin' it. At least not Ben Smith from Politico:
Sen. John McCain’s top campaign aides convened a conference call today to complain of being called “liars.” They pressed the media to scrutinize specific elements of Sen. Barack Obama’s record.
But the call was so rife with simple, often inexplicable misstatements of fact that it may have had the opposite effect: to deepen the perception, dangerous to McCain, that he and his aides have little regard for factual accuracy.
Follow me below for the details......

Camp McCain is mad as hell:
“Any time the Obama campaign is criticized at any level, the critics are immediately derided as liars,” Schmidt told reporters.
Hmmmmm...what's that they say about ducks and walking and talking and stuff?
But as he went on to list a series of stories he thought reporters should be writing about Obama and Biden, in almost every instance he got the details wrong.
What a surprise! Almost every instance! Schmidt goes on to list a series of discredited repug talking points:
• Biden's son was a lobbyist for the credit card and banking industry (he wasn't, he was a consultant for MBNA)
• Obama began his career raising money for William Ayers (not true and Ayers never contributed to Obama)
• Obama surrogate accused Sarah Palin of being a Nazi sympathizer (Robert Wexler called Pat Buchanan a Nazi sympathizer and said Palin endorsed Buchanan)
Asked about the series of errors, McCain aides could not provide evidence to back up Schmidt’s assertions.
Wow! Yet another surprise? Who woulda thunk it?
One McCain aide, Michael Goldfarb, said Politico was “quibbling with ridiculously small details when the basic things are completely right.”
Another, Brian Rogers, responded more directly:
“You are in the tank,” he e-mailed.
Ahhhh...yes. How perfect.
