Via the Standard, I’m simply weak at the thought of the magnificent theatrical sorrow to which we’ll be treated when the blogosphere’s shrillest Obama mega-shills find out. If Joe Klein and Sullivan don’t already have pieces prepared for the occasion, consider their weekend schedules cleared.
Remember, The One himself calls this a “legitimate issue.”
Don’t be shocked if you see the McCain campaign pull the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright out of mothballs in new attacks against one-time parishioner, Barack Obama.
McCain advisers say that they see “attack by association” as fair game now, arguing that Obama’s campaign has been using that technique to go after McCain. In particular, the Obama campaign has hammered McCain on the stump and in TV ads on the number of one-time lobbyists working for his campaign. (The McCain campaign is also angry about a Spanish-language TV ad that ties McCain to Rush Limbaugh on immigration, without ever saying that McCain took on Limbaugh and others to fight for comprehensive immigration reform.)
“They played it one way, we played it another way,” said one of McCain’s top advisers, Mark Salter. “Now we’re both going to play it the same way.”…
Salter said to expect more of the same, saying the campaign was tired of “catching the spears.” Asked whether to expect attacks involved Wright, campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb said: “We’ve seen all throughout the (Democratic) primary this guy has a lot of associations that are very problematic.”
By “catching the spears” I take it he means Team Barry’s proliferating negative ads, bad-faith accusations of racism, mass mobilization efforts to shout down or otherwise “get in the faces” of people who utter the slightest criticism, and thinly veiled ridicule of McCain’s VP as a moron to whom people are drawn because she’s “cute.” But maybe I’m wrong. Exit question: How does six weeks of guilt-by-association one-upsmanship sound? Wright, then Hagee, then Ayers, then Palin’s church, then …?
popcorn?
Palin's would pray *for* you, Obama's would prey *on* you.
Cheers!
The MSM will scream racism and unfairness against McCain and will continue to ignore Obama's slimy attacks. We can't let them dictate our strategy though.
I can't wait to see the Michelle Obama "Whitey" video the Sunday before election day. ;)
Just hold off two more weeks, the public has a short attention span.
“The MSM will scream racism”
That song and dance is getting a wee bit long in the tooth due to its overruse.
I would say wait until October, but with so many unsavory associates McCain should start now just to have enough time to get to them all.
Obama’s turkeys are coming home to roost
I doubt they will hit Obama on Wright. Wright has a book out next month and IIRC wright claims he throw Obama under the bus.
hee hee!
This is what I don’t understand. Why do they often leak their strategy? I thought surprise is one powerful weapon in war.
Raines and Jones are the Fannie Mae twins. And let's not forget that Raines just settled out for $23.7 million to avoid criminal charges. THAT's the advice Obama is getting NOW. And that's a lot more important to Mr. and Mrs. America, NOW.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS,KICK`EM IN THE BALLS!!!!!!!!!
IN THE FREAKIN BALLS!!!!!!!
SHOW NO MERCY!!!!!!!
“then Palin’s church”
?
Now it's time to put on the brass knuckles.
I can’t believe how cute Michael Jackson really WAS. His face now looks like it was taken off and put in a blender. So sad. I think had he left it alone, he might still be handsome.
