Palin: John McCain is the same man." Really?

Palin just criticized Obama for talking about a group one way to their face and another way behind their back. Kind of like pandering. John McCain doesn't do that, she declared. Really?

When John McCain ran in the South Carolina primary in 200o, he was asked whether the confederate flag should be taken down. He said, "I see the flag as a sign of heritage." After the primary was over, he called for its removal.
