Dems Playing Dirty Pool
April 9th, 2008 at 10:09am KMorrison
Promises from the left of a decent and honorable campaign so far are coming up short. Comments from Obama surrogates stating that Senator McCain is war monger and that his military experience shows that he doesn’t care about people are far from the ‘new politics’ that Senator Obama promises. The left has been crying dirty pool for the last eight years, and now their the ones with a pool cue in their hand. There’s always a challenge when candidates have other people speak for them, but it you compare the two sides Senator McCain is seriously out-classing the Democrats. When supporters were repeatedly using Senator Obama’s middle name, the McCain campaign told them to stop. When a radio host introducing him at an event went on a rant against Senator Obama, Senator McCain condemned it angering some conservatives. When a McCain blogger posted video about the Jeremiah Wright controversy, he was suspended from the campaign.
The Democrats on the other hand have their leader, Howard Dean, making personal attacks calling Senator McCain an opportunist. This is an attack which is both personal and baseless. The liberal blog The Atlantic posted an admittedly unsubstatiated article that was a direct personal attack on the Senator. The Democrats have accepted and embraced political dirty pool. If this trend continues, and if America is truly seeking a more decent and respectful style of politics Senator McCain has shown himself to be the leader bringing this change.

The dems have no viable positions, no ethics and no experience. What choice have they got other than to throw mud and hope some of it sticks. We live in very sad times if this is to what we are reduced. What about the concept of being able to disagree without being disagreeable? This campaign is so dirty. What are we teaching our children? Oops, I forgot, are children are no longer a priority in this country. We exploit them, sexualize them and use us them as props - perhaps the dems are giving us the candidates we have earned.

Self-described “progressive” media “monitor” which tracks content that “forwards a conservative agenda.”
Creation of Democratic Party funders and operatives and former conservative writer David Brock
Established in May 2004, Media Matters for America is a “web-based, not-for-profit ? progressive research and information center” seeking to “systematically monitor a cross-section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation.” But in addition to “news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible,” the organization’s concept of “misinformation” includes anything that “forwards the conservative agenda.” Thus political differences of opinion are often portrayed by Media Matters as lies or worse.
