While the media pushes the idea that Wesley Clark's scurrilous attack on McCain's POW experience was an overzealous spokesman going off the reservation, the virtual explosion of these attacks (by Jay Rockefeller, Jim Webb, and Tom Harkin, among others) suggests that the Obama campaign is coordinating this strategy--yet another sign of the candidate's extraordinary arrogance.
Minimizing McCain's Experience emphasizes their folly. Obama, whose bus victim count is in the double digits, can't understand that McCain's POW experience reveals his character because Obama has no character. That's one reason he mocks voters who "cling" to guns and religion, because he can't understand having core values to hold dear.
