McCain roles out the "scurrilous stuff"
In a crude imitation of Karl Rove, McCain campaign director Steve Schmidt has rolled out the well aged slop against Barack Obama.
this week Mr. McCain, and the Republican Party, have launched their own series of searing robo-calls attacking Senator Barack Obama. According to recordings of the calls collected by Talking Points Memo, the calls exaggerate Mr. Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers, the former member of the Weather Underground, question the candidate’s patriotism by accusing him of “putting Hollywood above America,’’ and say that he opposed a bill “requiring doctors to care for babies born alive after surviving attempted abortions.’’And in the grand tradition of warped creatures everywhere, McCain's very own gollum, Tucker Bounds even lies about the lies. “These calls are based on hard facts.’’
The calls – being reported in a number of swing states – were just the latest instance of Mr. McCain embracing the very kind of negative or misleading campaign tactics he once denounced.
