I've caught him too many times going after the cheap shot against his opponents (for example, the "100 years in Iraq" out-of-context quote of McCain's). Not to mention several others I can't recall specifically right now. This may be great for a short-term hit, but in the long run it hurts his message, which happens to be my message, too.

In other words, he does the same thing Coulter and Limbaugh do, twists any comment he can use, even if later on it can be easily refuted. This reveals not only that he cannot be trusted, but that his attacks are actually counter-productive and may help the other side. He's not trying to expose the error of his enemies, he's just boosting himself, and often his own party pays the price. In fact, I've often wondered if he actually wasn't working for the other side; just as I suspect at least one particularly obnoxious super conservative on this board to actually be a clandestine liberal plant.
