9/12    Wow, did McCain really just call Obama a pedophile?
        http://preview.tinyurl.com/5da4p8
        Wasn't this supposed to be a clean campaign?
        \_ On a related note.  When was the last time we had a clean
           presidential campaign?
           \_ Still, if true, that is sinking pretty fucking low.
        \_ No he didn't, and the criticism of the ad is flatly wrong.
           Here's the law in question:  http://tinyurl.com/5rzmru
           Note that on line 14, the grade 6 is crossed out and replaced with
           K.
           \_ Woah there cowboy, go view the ad.  Read the supporting info.
              I'm going to say this is a really shitty move by the McCain
              campaign.  Defend yourself.
           \_ How so?
           \_ So it now says: "Each class or course in comprehensive sex
              education offered in any of grades K through 12 shall
              include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted
              infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread
              of HIV." This statement does not require that kindergarteners
              be taught sex ed, and I highly doubt that was Obama's intent.
              Requiring that little kids be told that "you can get bad
              diseases from adults touching you inappropriately" seems a much
              more credible interpretation. McCain is just a slimeball.
              \_ not only that, but it says "Each class ... *offered* in any
                 of grades ... *shall include* ... [etc]".  This doesn't add
                 anything unless there was a class covering it already

Brian Montopoli The McCain campaign has released a new ad, "Education," that suggests Barack Obama favors teaching sex education to kindergartners. A McCain aide tells CBS News the ad will air on Fox News and in select markets in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin. "Education Week says Obama 'hasn't made a significant mark on education,'" an announcer says as the spot opens. Legislation to teach 'comprehensive sex education' to kindergartners. Campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs told CBS News the legislation Obama supported provided information to children on what to watch for when with an adult they don't know, such as inappropriate advances or touching. It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement. "Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldnt define what honor was.
