Yesterday, Marc Ambinder said it was “scuzzy” for the Obama campaign to bring up Keating Five -- while avoiding any such description of the McCain campaign's attacks on Obama over Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Today, Ambinder again offers a bizarre complaint about Democrat's campaign criticisms.

Marc Ambinder:

McCain's own policy chief said that McCain might cut Medicare and Medicaid. So while Dems do demagogue this issue, pointing out that McCain wants to cut Medicaid and Medicare isn't out of bounds. And if McCain wants to keep his goal of balancing the budget, those cuts would have to be deep.

So, it “isn't out of bounds” to point out that “McCain wants to cut Medicaid and Medicare.” And those “cuts would have to be deep” if McCain is to follow-through on his plan to balance the budget. And yet “Dems do demagogue this issue.”

Huh?

Ambinder doesn't bother to explain how Democrats “demagogue” the issue. Indeed, his post seems to undermine the assertion rather than support it.
