New McCain TV Ad Calls Obama a Hypocritical Liar
October 07, 2008 7:52 AM
"Who is Barack Obama?" asks the narrator in Sen. John McCain's latest attack ad.
A TV within the ad then shows a local Missouri TV report, that the reporter has since backed away from (more on that HERE), in which the anchor intones: "Obama's presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad."
"How hypocritical," says the narrator. "Obama's Social Security attack was called 'a falsehood.' His health care attack ... 'misleading.' Obama's stem cell attack ... 'not true.' Barack Obama. He promised better. He lied."
The criticisms of the Obama ads are all on target, taken from the links above, the last one of which is this blog.
Is name-calling effective?

McCain has shown himself to be both vile and immature (despite his years). In his desperatation he has lost what little dignity he had.

I am sure... We DO believe what Republican say are "Truth, nothing But Truth"... So they have to be truthful in whatever they say... GOD has chosen them to be the Gardian of Truth alone...
If you want to verify.... Just look at their history, perticularly last 8 years.
I know, we don't even care and waste time to look into history when I know they are only for truth...Okay... Let my enjoy my BEER...

It takes a lot of gaul for McCain to use the 'L' word. McCain is, without a doubt, the biggest liar in the country. He has basically lied about everything from A to Z.
One question about associations with people:
Why is it that there are absolutely ZERO character witnesses that have come forward for McCain regarding his time and service in the military, from people who actually knew and served with him?
Where are all those guys? McCain spent 20+ years in uniform and there is NO ONE who will vouch for his HEROISM or whether or not he trully put country first.
And to the contrary, the only ones who have come forward are those that are critical of him.
The reason is, as the latest Rolling Stone article on McCain points out, McCain has always put himself first. As more than 100 men lost their lives while his ship was burning and exploding, McCain retreated to a safe area and emerged from the incident "without a scratch" according to his own bio.
McCain is about the biggest self-promoter and liar in politics today.
He definitely deserves the beat down that is coming. I just hope he gets beat worse than Bob Dole did, because Dole trully was a hero AND an honorable man.

The truth hurts, and the fact is Obama has lied time and again. Anyone that reviews Obama's speeches from a year ago, would not recognize the positions that he has today. He has completely flip-flopped on every issue. He just say what he thinks people want to hear, not what he believes.

The OUT-OF-TOUCH RECLESS NAIVE LIAR who lacks GOOD JUDGMENT and EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP has already been exposed and that is MCCAIN, and he isn't along, he has an IGNORANT SIDE-KICK- PALIN !
"The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should," - McCain
"I don’t believe we’re headed into a recession. I believe the fundamentals of this economy are strong and I believe they will remain strong." - McCain
"It's easy for me to go to Washington and frankly be somewhat divorced from the day-to-day challenges people have," McCain said at the president forum
McCain IS The fundamental Great Deregulator - He said: " I’m glad I deregulated Wall Street." In 1999, McCain was one of the senators who helped pass deregulation of Wall Street. When asked if he regrets that now, his answer was: "No. I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy."
"If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we're going to lose." - Top McCain Aide
The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. - 2 Timothy 4:18
It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

It's not effective at this point. As McCain said so himself, this is the worst economic crisis since WWII.
McCain needs to tell us tonight how he will turn this economy around, make us believe he has the intelligence to do it and show empathy for the little guy, or he will lose the election.
Barack Obama has already done all three.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This is the second straight day that Obama has led by eight percentage points, his largest lead of the year. For the past twelve days, Obama’s support has ranged from 50% to 52% while McCain has been at 44% of 45% every day.

“American business, typically a reliable Republican cheerleader, is decidedly lukewarm” about John McCain’s health care proposals. Specifically, groups believe that McCain’s plan, “which eliminates the exclusion of health benefits from income taxes, would accelerate the erosion of employer-sponsored health insurance and do little to reduce the number of uninsured from 45 million.”

ALWAYS JUDGE A PERSON BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS.
IN ANY PRESIDENT-- CHARARCTER, VALUES AND JUDGEMENT ALWAYS HAS BEEN A PREREQUISITE, AS IT SHOULD BE.
OBAMA LACKS THE JUDGMENT, VALUES, CHARACTER AND EXPERIENCE.
OBAMA TALKS THE TALK BUT HIDES UNDER THE TABLE WHEN HE IS FACED WITH MAKING DECISIONS.

POWERFUL STUFF......... OBAMA the liar

It's a sad spectacle to see McCain sinking so low. I admired the campaign he ran against Bush in 2000 and felt bad about the smears leveled at him by the Bush/Rove gang. But now he's one of them doing what was done against him. Who's the hypocrite?

Who is Bill Ayers? When Obama was introduced to him by Mayor Daly he was a professor at the University of Chicago and someone interested in school reform. He certainly wasn't presented as a domestic terrorist. No one disputes that what Ayers did was wrong, but he did turn himself in and has led a peaceful and productive life for the past 38 years. If we don't believe in rehabilitation - how can we support our current penal system?
I live in Chicago a few miles from Ayers and I had never heard anything about him until this campaign. Don't you think if he was still considered a danger his name would of come up before it was political useful to do so?

There's a psychological term called "projection", where one attributes one's own motivation, negative thoughts, emotions onto others. McCain is simply projecting his own stuff onto Obama. "I am rubber, you are glue"...busted.

Anyone bringing up Ayers / Rezko / Wright:
---------------------------------------
Please explain to all of us how it doesn't matter to you that McCain took money from Keating when he was 54 years old.
Or why it's okay that he has an ongoing friendship with G Gordon Liddy.
Or are those details about your candidate Irrelevant?
