McCain's attack ads keep coming

I'm linking first to a Washington Post asticle to show that Matt Stoller isn't somebody that's considered some whacked-out nutcase like a Reverend Phelps or Cindy Sheehan...

McCain's attack ads keep coming

Quote:

But an issue-based counterattack to McCain's character assault is not enough, worried Democrats said.

"It literally is the same old Democratic, consultant-driven politics," said Matt Stoller, a Democratic political consultant and blogger. "It's the same attempt not to tell a story about the country and the other guy, but to prove you're right, like an academic debating seminar."

Here's a little bio...

Quote:

Matthew N. Stoller (born February 8, 1978) is an American blogger, author and political consultant. Stoller is also the president of BlogPAC, a political action committee that funds progressive blogs.

Stoller is well known for his activities during the campaign for the 2004 U.S. presidential election, and was until recently a leading contributor to the liberal political blog MyDD, until he helped co-found OpenLeft in July 2007. MyDD focuses on Democratic Party politics and advocates aggressive, national strategies for Democrats to take and hold power, such as challenging a greater number of incumbent Congressional Republicans. Stoller also consults for the Sunlight Foundation, FreePress.net, and Working Assets.

Stoller worked on the Draft Clark movement to bring Wesley Clark into the nominating race for President of the United States. Stoller also created the satire site EnjoyTheDraft.com.

The 2004 Democratic National Convention took the historic step of giving selected bloggers access with journalist credentials. Stoller worked as a volunteer for the Convention, and he ended up in charge of credentialling the bloggers. He co-created the (now-defunct) convention blog BostonDParty before being removed from posting due to conflicts of interest during the convention. Stoller attended the convention as a credentialled blogger. He has testified before the Federal Election Commission on the role of electronic media in politics, and is the co-author with Chris Bowers of a report on electronic communities in politics.

In 2005, Stoller was Blogger-in-Chief for New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jon Corzine's official blog, dubbed the Corzine Connection. Corzine's bid was successful.

So Stoller was in charge of credentialling bloggers at the 2005 Democratic National Convention, headed the New Jersey gubernatorial candidate's website, gets interviews with such papers as the Washington Post, and is a Democratic political consultant...

So why did I point this out?...

To show it's NOT the "extreme radicals" out there who do things like this...it's the mainstream supporters...

In Stoller's recent op-ed where he believes Obama campaign isn't attacking enough, he decided to say what's on his mind...

Quote:

When John Kerry goes on a Sunday show and says that he's 'in awe' of John McCain's service, but feels free to undermine Wes Clark's, and the Obama campaign thinks of Kerry as their top surrogate, it's shameful. When John McCain's economic advisor calls America a nation of whiners, and we don't hear anything more about that in ads or anywhere else, it's shameful. When the Iraqi PM endorses Obama's call for withdrawal, and McCain still leads on the issue of Iraq by double-digits, it's shameful.

We all know that winning this election is not enough. It's just not. It's not even close. This is the most unpopular President we've ever had and our opponent is a crazy cancer-ridden dishonest madman. Our nominee should crush this guy.

ahhhh....The smell of classiness...

The smell of desperation.

I'm curious to see what they will do after losing this election.

They will be absolutely heart broken.

But how will they manifest their pique?

More therapy and a new version of BDS - McDS. Expect accusations of "racism is alive in America" and "the election was rigged". I'll put a paycheck on it....

You mean like all our help to the Saudis? Or Kuwaitis? Egyptians? Or Israelis that spy on us? South Koreans? and on and on.

Exclusive: Obama: The Company He Kept

Rita Kramer

Ever since the rantings of Sen. McCarthy it has been a cardinal sin to suggest what has come to be called “guilt by association.” But if we drop the word “guilt” it should be a matter of common sense that who an individual chooses to associate with gives some indication of his interests, tastes and values.

So it might not be amiss to take a look at some of the chosen associates in the life of a man who is a contender for the position of President of the United States and Commander in Chief of its Armed Forces.

And that's not all of it.

Obama’s Advisors – A Source For Concern, Yoram Ettinger, Ynet, July 232, 2008

Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, is not a key member of the Senate committees on foreign relations, armed services or intelligence, has not initiated-led any significant legislation and has not devoted himself to national security issues. He surged into the Senate and the presidential race from the Illinois local-political-social arena. Obama relies on a battery of experienced advisors, who influence/shape his world view and maybe even US policy and US-Israel relations for the next 4-8 years. However, the record of his advisors – most of whom served in the Carter and Clinton Administrations – constitute a source of concern.

You try to dignify or somehow ennoble Obama's aiding and abetting (for personal profit and pleasure) those who hate America with our government's diplomatic strategy to benefit the greater interests of the American people???

Once again you demonstrate you are fully imbued with liberalitis!

The same kind of liberalism which saw John Kerry go to Paris during the Viet Nam war, to "negotiate" with the North Vietnamese or Jimmy Carter to conduct talks with the Palestinians, Nancy Pelosi to carry on her own deliberations with Syria and most recently, for Obama to meet with leaders abroad as though he was the conquering hero or the President-elect.

The REAL and CURRENT President or his assigns are authorized to conduct our foreign policy.

Period.

What Obama was doing the past two decades or longer was aiding and abetting numerous individuals who hate America.

And the more you defend that the more I begin to question your orientation, allegiance and judgment.

Then you have a problem with McCain dispatching Graham And Lieberman overseas?
