Obama aide: McCain campaign 'sleaziest' in modern history
CNN ^

Posted on 09/13/2008 12:44:51 PM PDT by Chet 99

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama's spokesman on Saturday accused Sen. John McCain of "cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history." Sen. Barack Obama blasts his rival, Sen. John McCain, at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Saturday.

Obama, speaking to a crowd Saturday in Manchester, New Hampshire, said, "John McCain wants to have a debate about national security; let's have that debate. I warned that going into Iraq would distract us from Afghanistan. John McCain cheerleaded for it. John McCain was wrong, and I was right."

"The McCain-[Sarah] Palin ticket, they don't want to debate the Obama-Biden ticket on issues because they are running on eight more years of what we've just seen. And they know it," the Democratic presidential nominee said. "As a consequence, what they're going to spend the next seven, eight weeks doing is trying to distract you.

"They're going to talk about pigs, and they're going to talk about lipstick; they're going to talk about Paris Hilton, they're going to talk about Britney Spears. They will try to distort my record, and they will try to undermine your trust in what the Democrats intend to do."

Well they do want to debate but Barry won't come down out of the tree to do so.

Once again the King of Sleaze is wrong. Did he forget he refuses to do any Town Hall forums to address issues the electorate would like to discuss?

“cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history”

Translation “were losing”

Obama denigrates Gov Palin’s service as Gov by calling her mayor of a town of five thousand and when she fires back with a direct hit they run to the media and whine. Get some gonads Obambi.

Are they for real? Has anyone asked them for DNA tests to make sure their daughters are biologicaly their own? Have they been subjected to half the crap the Palin family has endured? Have their daughters been smeared across the internet? Has anyone mocked them for their disabilities? Has John McCain asked what country Obama serves?

Get real Barack and grow a pair. You were part of the Cook County Machine yet you can’t seem to hold your own in a campaign.

Oh, Barry, Barry, Barry . . .

You’re not in Chicago any more.

If you want to see who’s running the sleaziest campaign of all time, just go check the nearest mirror, sweetheart . . .

"...cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history"

When you run against sleazy opponents, you have to have sleazy tactics.

"I warned that going into Iraq would distract us from Afghanistan. "

Obama was in the Illinois STATE senate when that vote was taken...he's already been called on this little time frame gaffe once.

Barry keeps putting his foot in his own mouth! McCain didn't raise that stuff - BARRY did! And keeps talking about it instead of "staying on message." Way to go, Barry! Keep up the good work! (laughing)

Talk about sleaze! McCain challenged Obama to several townhall debates, and he ran away like the gutless coward he is! I would use this against him big time in a "Put up or shutup and stop crying like a little beeotch" campaign commercial!

Ok. Let's have 10 town hall debates.

What ‘sleaze’ are they talking about???? Obama’s campaign is on drugs if they think this campaign is sleazy.

"I've been on the phone with the head of FEMA and mayor of Houston and others who are trying to grapple with this tremendous storm," he said.

Why the hell would the head of FEMA take 0's call?

“The McCain-[Sarah] Palin ticket, they don’t want to debate the Obama-Biden ticket on issues...”

That takes some nerve, considering McCain has challenged Obama on numerous occasions to participate in town hall meetings, but Obama has refused. He’s toast without the questions ahead of time and without a Teleprompter.

Alinsky tactics at work.
