Meme alert

Note the weekend meme being pushed by Obama's media allies: Republican "anger."

It seems to have started with a story at Politico.com, and now spreads to other channels, even in offhand comments today on Fox News. Next, according to the Drudge Report, two leftie columnists at the New York Times will pick it up this weekend as well.

Keep in mind that there's not much truth here, just another talking point after the failure to stick of the recent charges of GOP racism.

What is happening is that team McCain is behind, the clock is running out, and they've decided, after a long time dithering, to try a strategy of hard fouls and hoping that their opponents will miss the free throws. It's a long shot, but far from stoking uncontrolled "anger."
