All freak show, all the time. They'll make stuff up, invent fake controversies, lie about their record and Barack Obama's constantly. They basically just dare you -- and anyone else -- to call them on it.more about "McCain-Palin Think You're a Fool", posted with vodpod
The McCain-Palin campaign clearly think most people are fools, and that they can fool them most of the time, with their "freak show" campaign and distorted ad like this one. Pretty sad if this stuff works yet again.
McCain is up with a new ad that depicts Obama's oppo-researchers as hungry wolves in the hunt for Sarah Palin -- an effort to depict Palin as victim and Obama as predator:The ad, as usual, is full of distortions and falsehoods. The narrator's claim of "completely false" attacks on Palin comes from a FactCheck.org examination of Internet rumors about Palin, having absolutely nothing to do with Obama. And the Wall St. Journal report of opposition researches headed to Alaska -- as if researching your opponent were wrong -- was a reference to Democratic operatives, not the Obama campaign specifically.Separately, those with extremely long memories will recall that four years ago, the Bush-Cheney campaign -- including current McCain adviser Steve Schmidt -- also used images of wolves in an ad sliming John Kerry. In that case, the wolves represented terrorists.This time, however, the goal is not to portray Obama as weak a la Kerry, but as threatening. So the wolves are Obama's oppo-folks, out to savage Palin.
