[This article is unbelievably biased. Even the headline is biased.]
Voters in at least 10 swing states are receiving hundreds of thousands of automated telephone calls — uniformly negative and sometimes misleading — that the Republican Party and the McCain campaign are financing this week as they struggle to keep more states from drifting into the Democratic column.
[snip]
In one widely reported call, Mr. McCain raises Mr. Obama’s links to William Ayers, a founder of the 1960s-era radical Weather Underground. “You need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers,” a recorded voice says.

In an Oct. 10 letter to The New York Times, William C. Ibershof, the lead federal prosecutor of the Weathermen in the 1970s, expressed outrage that Mr. Obama was being tarred with the association, adding that he was pleased to learn that Mr. Ayers had “become a responsible citizen.”

Voters in North Carolina have received calls accusing Mr. Obama of opposing legislation aimed at protecting aborted fetuses that show signs of life, a position the call states is “at odds even with John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.”
“Please vote,” the call continues, “vote for candidates that share our values.”
The 2003 measure in Illinois that Mr. Obama opposed was virtually identical to federal legislation that Mr. Bush signed into law in 2002 after it was overwhelmingly passed by Congress. But Mr. Obama and other opponents of the Illinois bill have said that the state already had a law protecting aborted fetuses born alive. The Illinois State Medical Society, which also opposed the legislation, said the bill would increase civil liability for doctors and interfere with their patient relationships.
[They even help to spread nObama's lies.]

Read it as an example of the NYT being totally in the tank for nObama.
The robocall scripts blow... this is what happens when you do things via consultant....
Simple solution.......hang up.
Of course, by negative they mean that they dare criticize “The One” in any manner, shape or form. I’m surprised they didn’t call it blasphemy.
Ibershof is either ill-informed, an idiot, or a partisan Democrat (or all three) if he thinks Ayers is now a responsible citizen. Ayers is now trying to destroy our society from within instead of as an incompetent bombthrower.
Good. Obama provides plenty of negative material. I hope they’re effective.
Headline: NY Times Rain Negative Crap on Voters in all 57 United States
I can’t stand the blatant liberal bias of the NYT — but I hate robocalls almost as much. Totally annoying, no matter who they’re from or what they have to say. Bad idea, Republicans.
This just in! Cynical attempt by Republicans to win an election revealed...
Tell my Union to stop calling me! Please!
BUMP. Love your satire. When I post stuff like that people think I’m serious :)
It is absolutely disgusting that the left and the leftist media believe it is more offensive to note 0bama’s ties to the terrorist, than 0bama’s ties to the terrorist itself.
