What’s the news in a video posted by Politico’s Ben Smith? The political pundit offers a video with this caption:
“A supporter of Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski sends over this video of her challenger, Palin-backed Joe Miller, greeting supporters at the Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River. Behind him march at least three men visibly carrying handguns and and heavier weapons.”
The caption implies that you’ll see supporters marching with .50 caliber machine guns or something, but they’re simply carrying commercial AR-15s. What’s the big deal? Well, no doubt it is just meant to shock Politico readers with the suggestion that Joe Miller is part of some infamous “militia” group or something.
See the video at Ben Smith’s blog – or better yet, don’t give it more traffic.
