McCain/Palin's "half-truths" backfire

If any evidence is needed that McCain/Palin's negative campaign of half-truths is backfiring, then Huffington Post has it. Noting that the New York Times confirms that Obama was clearly and unequivocally referring to McCain, and not Palin (who he hadn't mentioned up until then in his speech), with his "lipstick ona pig" remark, The Huffer gives a formidable list of media outlets and commentators who are also calling "Foul!" at McCain/Palin:

Washington Post... The New Republic... New York Times... Mark Halperin... EJ Dionne... McClatchy Papers... Joe Klein... CBS... ABC's Jake Tapper... Bill O'Reilly... National Review... Andrew Sullivan... MSNBC... Paul Begala... AP... David Corn... Atlanta Journal Constitution... Glenn Greenwald... Taylor Marsh... Chicago Tribune... Slate... Politico's Jonathan Martin... Ruth Marcus...The American Prospect... Ari Melber...

Perhaps it would be easier to list who hasn't condemned McCain's tactics. Bill O'Reilly?
