McCain Resorts to "Truth Squads" in South Carolina

"Sen. McCain did not support an amnesty plan for 12 million illegal immigrants. Sen. McCain did not support an amnesty plan for 12 million illegal immigrants. Sen. McCain did not support an amnesty plan for 12 million illegal immigrants."

Perhaps if I keep repeating this sentence in my mind, then I'll believe it to be true. Or, so the McCain Campaign in South Carolina seems to hope.

According to the Greenville News, Senator McCain's political machine has stolen a page from George Orwell's 1984 playbook:

The South Carolina presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. John McCain announced this morning it was forming a "truth squad" to counter any "negative or misleading" attacks aimed at their candidate.

South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster, Solicitor Trey Gowdy of Spartanburg, House Speaker Bobby Harrell and Adjutant General Stan Spears are to respond to any attacks, according to a statement issued by the campaign.

"We saw what happened in Iowa with the negative attacks," Spears said. "We see what’s happening in New Hampshire, and I can tell you for certain, we won’t stand for it here in South Carolina. Some candidates are spending more of their campaign war chests on telling voters why John McCain shouldn’t be president rather than telling voters why they should. Voters in South Carolina need to be on the lookout for these kinds of negative attacks."

McMaster said the goal is to immediately "set the record straight."

I am at a loss for words. McCain's campaign has formed "Truth Squads" to "set the record straight" for all us un-indoctrinated, ignorant folk here in South Carolina?

Be afraid, you enemies of John McCain truth. Be very afraid!

Now is about the time I start praying that these so-called "Truth Squads" don't rouse me tonight from my sleep and drag me to a gulag hidden somewhere deep in the Pocotaligo Swamp, where some rigorous "re-education" awaits.
