I think it's genious. Obama doesn't want to get swift-boated like Kerry did. If you hear the dirt enough times, people really start to believe it even if it has been refuted several times. I think it's something like 12% of americans still believe Obama is muslim.

Yea because Dems never play dirty politics..

oh wait..

badgoalie85 · 06-13-2008, 12:34 PM

i don't think anyone claimed that they don't, terry

Human-yo · 06-13-2008, 12:37 PM

hey terry, have you heard that mccain is muslim? i heard he wears terrorist scarves...

Terry · 06-13-2008, 12:46 PM

No but I have heard he's old, way too old, corrupt, Bush loving, did I mention old, and likes to call his wife a cunt.

Sorry Human I'm not attacking you, I just used to work in market research, a job that required me to do push polls for both sides, which sort of jaded my view on political campaigns because they ALL use smear tactics.

Human-yo · 06-13-2008, 12:51 PM

i don't hear dems calling him old, i hear them calling him confused and out of touch.

and calling him a bush lover is legit. a few years ago it certainly wasn't legit, but with his campaign he finds himself trying to please his party members by going along with bush policies.

Terry · 06-13-2008, 12:55 PM

So on the same note maybe some criticism of Barack Obama is legit?

Come on Human, just trying to help you keep an open mind.

Obama won't be swiftboated, hes got this shit in the bag despite everyones best efforts to make him look bad.

DubStyle311 · 06-13-2008, 02:42 PM

lol. If this is what people were talking about when they said that Obama is ready to fight back quickly and effectively against being "swiftboated", I feel sorry for them. Yeah, I see this website doing a hell of a lot.

And Human-yo, I dont think you've been listening if you havent heard him been ridiculed as being too old. Either that or you have willfully blocked out any sort new information that clashes with you're radical views. I'm betting on the latter, because posters here do it all the time (make fun of mccains age). Oh yeah, and other liberal stomping grounds, youtube, huffington post, bill maher, digg.

I see a distinction between smear politics based on the public record and smear politics based on lies.

DubStyle311 · 06-13-2008, 03:51 PM

What about anti-smear tactics based on lies?

I just went to the site. I first heard about this site on Rush's show yesterday. The site was launched to fight the Michelle Obama "whitey" rumor. On the front page of the site, it claims that Rush lied that a tape of her making this comments was available. Guess what. I listened to a lot of the show yesterday and he never said that such a tape exists. Its a fucking lie right on the front page of the anti-smear site. They're just associating limbaugh with the obama rumor in order to try and taint its credibility.

Obama is such a stone cold FRAUD. He's a liar. He surrounds himself with human garbage. He's a hard nose POLITICIAN who is above nothing that will get him elected.

Its absurd to see people act like he's some sinless babe in the woods whos trying to fight back against such bad tactics. McCain has run a stand up campaign so far. Even when ppl try to bait him into some sort of negative campaigning agaist Obama he wont do it.

Obama is a FRAUD. And so are half of his supporters.

I am thinking the smear campaign is not really hurting him, who really gives a shit about "terroristic fist bumps". Im betting that some redneck will try to shoot his ass at least once a year for the entire time he in office. After living in Arkansas for 22 years I can testify that racism is still alive in America to some degree.

The Dems aren't calling McCain old, even though McCain is old. They are calling him confused, because he has made quite a few comments confusing different things.
What other word would you like the democrats to use to describe someone who (word here) shiites and shia?

It's not a smear campaign to say something true.

feel free to provide a compare and contrast to support this claim. If you use Obama surrogates, you must concede the actions of McCain surrogates. I have a feeling you are viewing the Obama campaign as "Obama" and McCain's campaign as seperate from the man himself.

but please do support yourself here, as I'm quite interested how you come to the conclusion that McCain has lead a stand up campaign, and Obama is somehow a fraud liar.
