While John McCain's remark that Barack Obama would rather win an election than a war was crude, it doesn't come close to constituting defamation or slander. The author's commentary on the selective cropping of McCain's misstatements is far less insightful than other articles and blog posts I've read on the topic. The author's delivery is not articulate and most arguments appear to be highly emotionally charged. This is a poor attempt at rabble rousing against McCain and I hope other readers can separate it from the abundance of more pointed criticism of both candidates.
