Matthews does not believe McCain would personally join in his campaign's attacks -- but he did

SUMMARY: Chris Matthews falsely suggested that Sen. John McCain is unwilling to personally engage in the false accusation made by his campaign that Sen. Barack Obama compared Gov. Sarah Palin to a pig. Matthews stated of McCain: "He would never say Barack Obama called Governor Palin a pig." However, when reportedly asked what he dislikes about campaigning, McCain said: "Probably the negativism, those negative ads and personal attacks, Senator Obama's recent comments about 'lipstick on a pig.'
