Another day, another inflammatory anti-Obama remark for Camp McCain to condemn.
The latest comes from Iowa Rep. Steve King who told a Spencer, IA paper (http://www.spencerdailyreporter.com/story/1316727.html) that terrorists would be “dancing in the streets” if Obama is elected president, adding that Islamic extremists will be energized by the Democrat’s Iraq policy as well his middle name, Hussein. While King has no affiliation with the McCain campaign, Obama officials still called on the presumptive GOP nominee to condemn the remark yesterday.
McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan told Fox Saturday:
“The Senator has been clear that he intends to keep this campaign about the issues. He has condemned similar comments by (radio talk show host) Bill Cunningham. He doesn’t agree with King’s comments,” Buchanan said. “He intends to run a respectful race and keep it about the issues.”
