McCain 'Wasted'

So Obama expressed the view that people who are suffering economically may feel distressed by the situation, and that they may embrace various cultural practices and institutions quite strongly as a result. Of course, he used somewhat blunt language to express that point of view, not the nuanced, refined, elistist, thesaurophilic phrasing that I have used. The right wing noise machine repeats the blunt phrasing over and over, making like its an insult, even though a mindless hack like Hannity doesn't understand what it means.

McCain said American lives were 'wasted' in Iraq. Why isn't he being tarred and feathered with his own blunt language?
