TechPresident reports that a McCain staffer was fired for Twittering a link to the Obama Wright video below.

Says TechPresident:

Twitter has claimed it’s first political victim. Conservative blogger and John McCain aide Soren Dayton was suspended from the campaign yesterday for posting a link to the “Is Obama Wright” video on Twitter. Yup, that’s it. The campaign saw the act as a violation of McCain’s own decree to stay away from personal attacks on Obama. While the move makes sense from the campaign’s point of view, we kinda feel bad for Dayton, who had been a perceptive follower of the race before joining the McCain campaign. Townhall’s Matt Lewis is less diplomatic, accusing the McCain campaign of throwing Dayton under the bus.
