Pastor Rick Warren said John McCain didn’t hear any of the questions in advance at Saturday night’s Civil Forum, even if the candidate was a little late arriving to the pre-arranged quiet room or “cone of silence.”
This proves McCain had 30 minutes of opportunity to hear 30 minutes of questions.
We flipped a coin, and we have safely placed Senator McCain in a cone of silence.”
First lie, McCain wasn't even in the building. This statement suggest McCain is already in the 'cone of silence'. He was late.
But at 8 p.m. ET, as Warren said that, McCain was actually not in the building. He was just leaving his hotel, with his motorcade arriving at the church nearly a half hour into the event. A. Larry Ross, a spokesman for Warren, says McCain then went directly into the holding room they dubbed the “cone of silence” (in reality, a room with no TV or audio). Some questioned whether that late arrival might have allowed McCain to hear some of the questions being first posed to Obama.
He had 30 minutes to hear questions. Before he got into his 'cone of silence' room with no TV or audio, in those 30 minutes is it not possible that he heard the first half of Obama's interview? Doesn't he have a TV in his limo, bus, etc?
Warren told CNN Sunday evening, “we flat out asked him” if he heard any of the questions. The McCain campaign “confirmed that McCain did not hear or see any of the broadcast” in the motorcade or after he arrived, Ross said.
Wow, like McCain is so honest and has been running an honest campaign that whatever he says is true. Would you think they would actually admit it if they did cheat?
For their part, an Obama spokesperson told CNN’s Mike Roselli they are not pursuing whether McCain heard any of the other questions. They say they assuming McCain had the same information they did.
