"Smears and lies win elections"


So are you saying (acknowledging) that the Obama campaign is guilty of smearing and lying just the same?

No, I'm not saying that. I think Obama has run a pretty clean campaign that has focused mostly his change agenda. McCain, on the other hand, has run a dirty campaign, in my opinion. The trouble is Republicans think any criticism of their policies is the same thing as a dirty attack. Obama has criticized McCain's policies and defended himself skillfully and aggressively from McCain and his operatives attacks. When Obama brought up McCain's attacks during the debate, McCain responded that Obama had attacked his health care plan. That's not a smear, as far as I'm concerned. Calling someone a socialist because they used the phrase "spread the wealth" is a smear, in my opinion.


I'm willing to discuss whatever smears you think Obama has made. Lay 'em on me. I'm curious to hear what smears you think the Obama campaign has made.

Just a quick google.... Most issues have been brought up on this board already.


From: http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/10/mccain_camp_obamas_running_the.php



The evidence of Barack Obama's negative campaign is irrefutable:


Negative TV Ads. While Barack Obama tells the people of Indiana today that he detests negative ads, his campaign is spending more than any other presidential candidate in history to launch negative, false and misleading ads against John McCain. According to figures from Campaign Media Analysis Group, in the final stretch of this campaign -- from September 12 to October 18 -- Barack Obama ran 119,101 negative ads costing more than $65 million. For that time period, the Obama campaign spent nearly $30 million more than the McCain-Palin campaign on negative ads. That $30 million represents 38,000 negative ads. The breakdown is even more staggering in the period from October 12 to 18. In that seven-day period, Barack Obama spent over $22 million for more than 37,000 negative ads -- that's more than twice the amount spent on positive ads and almost three times the amount that the McCain-Palin campaign spent on such ads.


Misleading And Distorted TV Ads. It is ironic that Barack Obama would decry the role of "misleading" ads in this election since that is the word most commonly associated with his own television ads. Across the country, Barack Obama's national and state-specific television and radio ads have been called "misleading." Even the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that despite his claims of "respond with the truth," Barack Obama has run ads that are "dubious" in nature and that he is "hardly immune from criticism about misleading advertising."

If the propaganda isn't addressed and refuted, then
