A different category of dumb charge. This one very much intentionally ginned up by the McCain camp, and the Obama camp is justified in being outraged over its implication that Obama is some kind of deviancy advocate. It was just as dumb and just as calculated when the Romney people were pushing it during the primaries. And the same argument for Obama’s ACTUAL position still stands: “Child predators really prey on the ignorance of children. And the kind of education that Obama’s supporting is something that would actually put weapons in the hands of children in the form of knowledge.”
In this case, however, I doubt that anyone will turn up proof — as they did with Romney — that McCain was once in favor of the same kind of education. As that would suggest McCain once was in favor of SOME kind of sex education.
