McCain Camp Complains About NYT

The McCain camp complains about the NYT investigation into Rick Davis' ties with Freddie Mac but doesn't offer up any proof to the contrary and doesn't say the story is not true, only that it is a partisan attack. He said it was "demonstrably false." If so, demonstrate. But they didn't bother. They're just whining. 
After the republicans have run a vast underground smear campaign against Obama for at least the past year with their Web sites, and their hate email, their hate radio, and their constant stream of books that lie about Obama and spew hate, I'd say that the McCain camp needs to be drilled like an oil well. Drill Baby Drill. Go deep.  
As far as I can tell, just about everything McCain says is a lie, and the campaign doesn't seem to care about facts. In fact, they've stated that facts are on the sideline. They're out to win an election. Country First.
CNN: A senior McCain aide reacted to the latest New York Times investigation into a top campaign advisor Wednesday with a scathing memo that called the Times a “failing business” and the allegation “demonstrably false.”

The story, which charges that a firm formerly headed by campaign manager Rick Davis had received a monthly $15,000 retainer from mortgage giant Freddie Mac until the government took it over this month – is “a partisan attack falsely labeled as objective news” from “an Obama advocacy organization,” wrote McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb.

The paper, said Goldfarb, “obscures its true intentions — to undermine the candidacy of John McCain and boost the candidacy of Barack Obama — under the cloak of objective journalism.”
