More on McCain's robocalls

Even Fox News is calling McCain on them (and they quote a 2000 McCain statement in which he said he would never use such tactics):

And despite what McCain said in the interview, Obama did, in fact, reject John Lewis' comparison of McCain's campaign rallies to those of George Wallace:
Senator Obama does not believe that John McCain or his policy criticism is in any way comparable to George Wallace or his segregationist policies. But John Lewis was right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night, as well as the baseless and profoundly irresponsible charges from his own running mate that the Democratic nominee for President of the United States ‘pals around with terrorists.’ As Barack Obama has said himself, the last thing we need from either party is the kind of angry, divisive rhetoric that tears us apart at a time of crisis when we desperately need to come together. That is the kind of campaign Senator Obama will continue to run in the weeks ahead.
