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."

“I hope he is ready because this is a weak spot for McCain”

Hell yesterday was the ultimate test, he didn’t slap Babwa Wawa, or Mrs. Plantation, he should be OK

Just remember my friends of McCain’s military training... OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) Loop. He is giving the dems enough rope to hang themselves. They (demonrats) continue to underestimate the American public... they think we are a bunch of idiots... hence the reason why ABC, edited out pieces of the Palin interview thinking that many Americans would A) not care, B) do not know how to use the internet, C)believe the way they do, D) do not think.... they are hanging themselves and the McCain camp is in the pilot’s seat!

Mr. “lipstick on a pig”, “still smells like dead fish”, what else would you like to teach us about “sleaze”?

he says "they want to talk about lipstick..." i guess he forgor that he's the one who brought it up first... just like he forgot that he ridiculed Palin's being a mayor and that's why she responded wtih the community organizer joke... he can dish it but that's about it...

Those idiots are projecting to beat the band. Obama’s latest ad about McCain’s supposed (a total lie by the Obama people) computer illiteracy is disgusting.

This is too easy.

“They will try to distort my record...”

...and what record might that be Mr. Obama?

They will try to distort my record...

His RECORD? Is he JOKING?

His record in the US Senate is virtually non-existent.

The only record he has (University, Annenberg Challenge, Community Organizer, Communist Tool) is the one he has done everything in his power to make sure remains undiscovered, at least until after the election.

The pot calling the kettle black!

even though that's a common phrase like the lipstick on a pig phrase, you bet they will call you racist for even thinking of using that racial slur... you have to change it to something like, "that's the iron pot calling the iron kettle, 'iron'..."

This from a campaign that has every slime merchant they can find digging for dirt in Alaska? That takes hubris.

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

Hmmm ... Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate in November, 2004. We invaded Iraq in March, 2003 -- a year and a half earlier. Only an idiot believes his B.S.

Any return volleys should be issue-ads that gut Obambi’s lies, like his voting FOR the bridge to nowhere, despite the chance to divert the money toward Katrina relief.

Never shoot back with the same caliber your opponent uses. It’s kind of like bringing a knife to a gun fight!
