McCain Camp continue to make SCURRILIOUS, False and distorted Ad's against Barack Obama.
Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign launched a broadside against Sen. Barack Obama yesterday, accusing him of a sexist smear, comparing his campaign to a pack of wolves on the prowl against the GOP vice presidential pick, charging that the Democratic nominee favored sex education for kindergartners, and resurrecting the comments of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
(The comment about lipstick on a pig had nothing to do with Sarah Palin and it was taken out of the context in which Barack Obama used it.)
(The SCURRILIOUS ad that depicts and lies about the position that Barack Obama voted on was in support of teaching children how to protect themselves from Pediophiles.O
(John McCain and the REPUBLICAN Party have given up any ability they may have had to be elected to the Presidentcy. They have shown without any doubt that not one word out of their mouths can be trusted to be the Truth. They have shown a total lack of the type of Character Traits that we want in a President. I do not want a liar who cannot be trusted as my President again. Was not George W. Bush ENOUGH??)
The assault came a day before the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, when McCain and Obama are scheduled to appear together at Ground Zero during a mutually declared truce. That cease-fire is not likely to last long. With the airwaves already filling up with some of the most negative imagery of the campaign, Obama aides hinted that they would save their toughest counterpunch until after Sept. 11.
"Enough," Obama declared yesterday while campaigning in Norfolk, Va. "I don't care what they say about me. But I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and Swift boat politics. Enough is enough."
The McCain campaign, meanwhile, sought to portray itself as the victim of unfair smears and sexist attacks against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin even as it pursued its own assaults on Obama. The rhetoric was echoed yesterday on conservative talk radio, the Internet and in the House, where Republican women decried Obama's alleged sexism.
(As long as John McCain and Sarah Palin can keep the MEDIA "hood-winked" with little issues like this, then they do not have to set forth Policies and Positions on the Big Issues that really concern this Country.)
"The Obama campaign has decided that the way to get at Sarah Palin is through personal attacks and sexist insults," Rep. Candice S. Miller (Mich.) said on the House floor.
On a campaign conference call last night, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.) lumped together Obama's reference to a female reporter as "sweetie" last May, his decision not to choose Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) or Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as his running mate, and his use of the saying "lipstick on a pig" in comments Tuesday to denounce what they call a pattern of sexism.
(What a joke these are the same people that were using the same attacks against Hillary Clinton.)
The attacks over the first three days of this week have come at a sometimes dizzying pace. Within 24 hours, the McCain campaign released a television advertisement saying Obama favored "comprehensive sex education" for kindergartners, produced an Internet ad charging that the Democrat had referred to Palin as a pig, then concluded with another ad saying, "Obama's politics of hope? Empty words."
(LIES, LIES, LIES.)
All three of the spots drew outraged responses and charges of dirty politics from Obama and his supporters. "We've got an energy crisis," the candidate said at a campaign event where he had planned to focus entirely on education policy. "We have an education system that is not working for too many of our children and making us less competitive. We have an economy that is creating hardship for families all across America. We've got two wars going on, veterans coming home not being cared for -- and this is what they want to talk about."
(WE HAVE TO WRITE LETTERS AN E-MAILS TO EVERY NEWSPAPER AND MEDIA OUTLET DEMANDING THAT THEY MAKE JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN ASK QUESTIONS ON THESE KEY ISSUES AND THAT THEY BOTH BE MADE TO GIVE DETAILED ANSWERS.)
McCain allies think they have succeeded in knocking Obama on his heels since he accepted his party's nomination in Denver two weeks ago.
"They really are in a meltdown," said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), a McCain adviser.
(I predict what you are about to witness is a Nuclear Meltdown of the Republican Party and of John McCain and Sarah Palin. The real Character of all the People in this country demands that our Politicains fight a fair and Honest Campaign. That is something that the REPUBLICANS do not know how to do, because they have no HONOR.)
Obama aides say the assaults will not work, arguing that all of the accusations against him are a reach, if not fabrications. The sexism allegation stemmed from a comment Obama made in Virginia during a talk in which he did not mention Palin.
"Let's just list this for a second," he said Tuesday. "John McCain says he's about change, too. And so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out, George Bush. Except for economic policy, health-care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics, we're going to really shake things up in Washington. That's not change. That's just calling some -- the same thing something different. But you know, you can't, you can put, uh, lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig."
(There is the context that Barack Obama used the Lipstick on a Pig comment. There is nothing Sexist about it. John McCain is the person who has brought Sexism into this race.)
The McCain campaign seized on the remark, saying that Obama was alluding to Palin's characterization of herself as a pit bull in lipstick. The Internet ad skips over the introductory words from Obama, juxtaposing Palin's line from her nomination acceptance speech last Wednesday -- "They say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull: lipstick" -- with Obama's lipstick-on-a-pig phrase, a phrase that McCain also has used, to describe Clinton's health-care plan.
(What a Hypocrite John McCain is.)
"Ready to lead? No," the ad concludes. "Ready to smear? Yes."(John McCain and the Republican Party are the Smearmisters of the World.) The sex education ad referred to legislation Obama voted for -- but did not sponsor -- in the Illinois Senate that allowed school boards to develop "age-appropriate" sex education courses at all levels. Kindergarten teachers were given the approval to teach about appropriate and inappropriate touching to combat molestation.
The McCain advertisement calls it "Obama's one accomplishment" in education: "legislation to teach comprehensive sex education to kindergartners."
"Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama, wrong on education, wrong for your family," the ad concludes.
Paired with that was another attack. The "wolves" ad alludes to a "mini-army" of lawyers dispatched to "dig dirt" on Palin in Alaska.
(I would like to ask John McCain how many Lawyers and Republican Opperatives they have looking for dirt on Barack Obama?)
"As Obama drops in the polls, he'll try to destroy her," the ad states.
The ad pins the swirl of Internet rumors about McCain's running mate to the Obama campaign. The reference to a mini-army was drawn from a Wall Street Journal column by conservative John Fund. A spokesman for the Democratic National Committee said yesterday that neither it nor the Obama campaign had any researchers or lawyers in Alaska.
(Barack should demand that John McCain prove that statement if we do not have anyone out there. He should demand that John McCain provide Names, Dates,Places and times.)
It was a McCain surrogate, former senator Fred D. Thompson (Tenn.), who brought back the words of Wright, Obama's former longtime pastor, whose incendiary sermons nearly derailed the Democrat's primary candidacy.
"Frankly, I think Reverend Wright was correct when he says he's just doing what politicians do," Thompson said of Obama as he introduced McCain to a Northern Virginia audience. "That's not the kind of change this country needs."
During a Boston fundraiser, Obama's running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (Del.), denounced the negativity, noting that McCain himself faced smears in his 2000 race for the presidency.
"What really disappoints me is the very tactics used against him, they're trying to use against Barack Obama now," he said. "It's literally saddening. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. But I guess I should learn to expect everything."
the bush/chaney/mccain/palin ticket doesn't have a platform to stand on. so they talk out of both sides of there mouths. When asked a question, they answer as if another question is asked as demonstrated in this article.....the debates will be interesting..
Honestly I think mccain is unstable...something is not quite right... palin's past, her views on women's rights (especially women who have been abused/raped is terrible...) There are several groups of Alaska Women that are speaking out stating that they had to pay for their rape kits...How is that helping women??? same with battered women. Wooten was in their corner (they are supporting him) and she fires him (after praiseing him on tape 2 mos before) I can see what palin/mccain/bush/chaney have in common... delusion...
strange..
Did you catch Brad Pitt's comments on McCain and Palin, especially Palin? He's right on the mark and was saying what everyone is thinking. He said "Do the actuary tables. There's one out of three chances, if not more, that McCain won't survive his first term and it'll be President Palin. It's like a bad Disney movie. Oh, I'm a hockey Mom from Alaska and she's president. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."
He put it very succinctly.
