McCain aide suspended for pushing new Obama/Wright video
An aide to John McCain has been suspended from the campaign for circulating a racially-charged video about Barack Obama, which calls into question the Illinois senator’s patriotism. The video melds clips from Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s sermons, sound bites from Michelle Obama, and previous interviews of Barack Obama.
According to the Politico, “Soren Dayton, who works in McCain's political department, sent out the YouTube link of "Is Obama Wright?" on twitter at 12:31 today with the tag, "Good video on Obama and Wright." It has since been taken down. “
McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker added that Dayton has been suspended and "reprimanded by campaign leadership."
