Now that major news commetors are expressing outrage at McCain's sleazy new ads, this may backfire. Not just on this issue, but by changing McCain's formerly cozy relationship with the press. But we still need stronger responses from the Obama camp.
A comment on the American Prospect blog suggests this as a reply to the sex-ed ad:
"Yeah, I supported that bill, and I'd do it again. I think it's important to teach children how to identify bad touches and sexual predators. I want to know why John McCain wants to help pedophiles? Personally, I think they're sick, but John McCain doesn't want kids to know how to protect themselves from pedophiles. I can only assume that's why he'd attack my support of that bill. Strange position to take for a Presidential candidate."

Love the headlines. CBS forces McCain to take down a "misleading" YouTube ad. FactCheck.org says a McCain ad distorts a quote from them and attributes it Obama when it was not. They insist that McCain "stop distorting our work."
And even the Wall Street Journal says another ad misquotes them. Their article said that Obama had sent lawyers to Alaska to "dig into Palin's background and record." But the ad quoted WSJ as saying they were sent "to dig up dirt." And even the WSJ was wrong. It wasn't the Obama team that sent them in the first place, and they have demanded an apoloty from the WJS.
