While nothing in this post is untrue, I believe that McCain's "choke up" was legit. The comparison that was made probably deeply wounded him. It's one thing for some crazy guy (like the one they showed in that video a few months ago) to rant and call you a racist, but it's another for someone you admire and respect to put on you what was pout on McCain in that line by Lewis. Don't you think it would hurt Obama a lot more if someone he actually cared about came out and said "Seeing him speak reminds me of seeing Islamic terrorists indoctrinating suicide bombers before they go out to kill people." If a crazy internet idiot says it or Anne Coulter, I doubt it phases Obama. But imagine if Bill Clinton said it, or someone else of greater importance to Obama. Like Marx.
