Come into the 20th century...
How long will it take to sink in? Your words are recorded now, guys. From the McClatchey Papers, another politician who forgot about the mike:
North Carolina Congressman Robin Hayes, reeling from recent remarks about "Liberals hating real Americans," has lost his lead in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District race. Hayes trails Democrat Larry Kissell 51-46 in a poll released Tuesday by Raleigh's Public Policy Polling. In its last NC-8 poll in August, PPP had the incumbent Hayes leading by five points.Jon Stewart has been living off this phenomenon for a while now. How can they not understand it?
Hayes, in a warmup to John McCain's speech Oct. 18 in Concord, told the crowd: "Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God."
The Hayes campaign initially said the congressman denied making the remark, but after being confronted with tapes of the remarks, the campaign released a statement acknowledging the remark.

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->When I saw Arianna Huffington speak last week, she said one thing that surprised me. It didn't seem true at first so I had to go and look it up:
There was no YouTube in the 2004 election!
True. It wasn't founded until early 2005.
I guess that explains why I was reading MediaMatters obsessively last presidential-election cycle, whereas I've hardly taken a look at it this year.
