No, it means out of the entire column, which was not about that topic at all, he CHOSE to light on that line as a halfhearted attack on McCain and the writer.
If you think this writer does not know the subject, I suggest you read his years of work on the matter.

This guy took a childish shot and ignored the overall importance and validity of he entire column, just to take a hit at McCain.
That’s what’s wrong with the current conservative movement. They are so bent on petty internal attacks that they are likely to place Obama in the WH just to make a childish point that every conservative already knows...
Defend him if you like... But it was a childish shot of NO value to anyone.
