More on robocalls
McCain campaign, GOP launch 'robocalls' in battleground states
Questioning Obama's links to former radical

By Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | October 18, 2008

With 17 days until the election, John McCain and his Republican allies are stepping up their character assaults, which paint Barack Obama in television ads, mail, and now, automated phone calls, as a shifty coddler of terrorists.

McCain's candidacy has stalled as the nation's economic problems have deepened, and his campaign has increasingly focused on raising questions about Obama's character and background.

In the latest round, McCain's campaign and the Republican National Committee this week began sending at least four different recorded telephone messages to voters in about a dozen battleground states, including Maine and New Hampshire.
...
The most widely played is a sinister description of Obama's relationship with William Ayers, who led a radical antiwar group that bombed government buildings in the early 1970s. The caller says, "You need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the US Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home, and killed Americans."
...
Other automated calls say that Obama and Democrats "want to give civil rights to terrorists," oppose "requiring doctors to care for babies born alive after surviving attempted abortions," and are "putting Hollywood above America" because they held a fund-raiser during the financial crisis.

1. Fear is the only weapon left for McKKKain to use to
try and rally a base. Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate.......and maybe then the McKKKain Haters will run to the polls to vote. Fear worked after 9/11 and is invoked everytime they need to reign in their base. I'm thinking the hate base is around 30 percent of this country, how many are registered to vote? who knows but with the GOTV drives we know we've registered lots more dems then pukes. Let's hope that the other 70% see through the lying ba$tards spin. We have to make sure we get the dem voters to the polls and continue to knock on doors, phone bank........etc. Write you papers and express your outrage over the slime campaign and hate that the pukes have stirred.
