As the Obama campaign realizes that his multi-million-dollar foray into foreign policy isn’t giving Obama the return at the polls they had expected, they’ve decided to take the “low road”. (Washington Times <\/a>link)<\/p>\n

Sen. John McCain accused presidential opponent Sen. Barack Obama on Thursday of playing the race card.<\/p>\n

Mr. Obama ridiculed Mr. McCain for depicting him as a lightweight celebrity.<\/p>\n

A day after the release of a McCain ad comparing Mr. Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, both campaigns veered away from the issues and into a squabble over who said what, who intended what and who insinuated the rest.<\/p>\n

“Folks ought to just buckle up their seat belts,” said Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, telling reporters on a conference call that they can expect more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the campaign decided to update their “Fight the Smears<\/a>” page of the campaign’s website.<\/p>\n

Lie:
\nJohn McCain, his spokesmen, and his TV ads have all been politicizing our wounded heroes by making the false claim that Barack Obama snubbed wounded troops by not visiting them on his trip overseas because TV cameras would not be allowed to cover the visit.<\/p>\n

Truth:
\nThe Obama campaign originally planned a private trip (no media) to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany to visit wounded troops, but canceled it to prevent the perception of politicizing our troops.<\/p>\n

Senator Obama was honored to meet with our men and women in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan during his foreign trip and has visited a combat support hospital in Baghdad as well as wounded soldiers at Walter Reed without fanfare. Barack Obama also called wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center while overseas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, Obama is always ready and willing to sacrifice a photo opportunity for someone else’s dignity, blah, blah blah. He’d hold up a terrorist’s severed head for the cameras if he thought it’d get a vote or two. As evidence, the Obama campaign offers this video of an Andrea Mitchell interview.<\/p>\n

The video doesn’t prove anything except that Andrea Mitchell doesn’t like the McCain ad. Obama also puts up completely useless wire diagram (it looks like IVAW’s Montalvan did it) that describes Who’s Behind the Smears<\/a>. Somehow Willie Horton’s name cames up. DIdn’t Al Gore start the Willie Horton stuff? Why isn’t his name up there?<\/p>\n

So to counter the ad, Messiah tells voters something that IS absolutely untrue;<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0Hours earlier, the McCain campaign said Mr. Obama crossed the line of racial politics. Mr. Obama said Wednesday that President Bush and Mr. McCain attacked him as unworthy of the presidency because, as the Democrat put it, he doesn’t “look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’d like Obama to prove that one. And I’d like an apology from the Obama campaign for thinking I’m so damn stupid I’d believe that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
