Race-Bait-Gate: Did McCain Camp Push Story?

Here's Brian Williams on the claim (as Tommy reported earlier) that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign pushed the phony, politically motivated mutilation story from the very start.



So, the questions now, as with all with all "Gate" stories, are: What did McCain's people know, and when did they know it? The campaign denies it spread the story. Reports the day after the alleged incident have John McCain and Sarah Palin both calling Ashley Todd's family to express their support. That was, of course, before the whole story fell apart.
