I love watching people rationalize their party's shitty tactics while crucifying the opposition for doing the same thing.

thank god somebody else sees this, neither party is fair on the facts in their ads but its GD infuriating when regular folks who support them turn a blind eye to it.

I just got done looking over this stuff and this simply inciting racial hatred using nothing but pure lies. 

Not only did he take the comments completely out of context and distory their meaning, but he took them from someone who is regarded to be a nemisis of McCain within his own party and then tied the two together like they are the same person.

There is stretching the truth and then there is this.  At least Obama himself actually said  the "lipstick on a pig" comment...at least Obama actually voted for the sex-ed bill in IL...all grains of truth to otherwise negative ads.

But McCain never said this, never endorsed it, and on this issue has vehemently opposed the views of the person who did say it.  To make this ad they had to find the quotes and they knew exactly how BS they are...when Obama comes on and says "I approve this message" it should give every supporter of his cause a puckered asshole of emberassment the same as the lipstick ad from McCain should have for his supporters....only this goes beyond a lie, this is race-baiting pure and simple.

 

 

 

 

the pig ad had at least plausible deniability. Which means it is truly possible McCain's campaign REALLY thought he was taking a cheap shot at Palin. I think it is possible he was too, but there is no way to prove it. There is no way for Obama to deny this Spanish ad... There no way for him to say oops, we didn't mean to do that or whatever. These are the kind of Tactics Obama used when he ran for the state senate, us senate, the nomination, and now the General Election. I think within the next 6 weeks the public will see this, I believe they already have, and that is why some of the gloss has already come off of him.

 

Bill O'Reilly had a body language expert on and she was definitive in her analysis that he didn't get what the crowd was laughing at and thus couldn't have thought of the connection before saying it.  I'm willing to take that at face value and give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  Even if he had meant it though the point is that its a completely irrelevant issue..it doesn't deserve to be talked about...really it just doesn't.

If you want an end to negative ads you have to be against all negative ads, not just the ones that hurt your candidate of choice. You'll see a lot of folks around here playing down Obama's negative ads and crying bloody murder when its McCain with the negative ad (and vice versa).  These people are just self-serving political animals looking for what's expedient.....otherwise known as hypocrites.
