    Rove: McCain ads gone too far....Texanta

    Yes, that Karl Rove.
    For Karl to say this the lies must be pretty bad.


    Jonathan Martin's Blog: Rove: McCain ads gone too far - Politico.com
    Karl Rove said this morning that John McCain's attacks against Barack Obama have stretched the truth.

    Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Rove said McCain had "gone one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100 percent truth test.”

    McCain has come in for scathing criticism from many in the media and independent fact-check organizations for his recent hard-edged campaign tactics. But few Republicans, and none as prominent as Rove, have criticized McCain.

    The former political adviser to President Bush didn't confine his critique to McCain, though.

    "Both campaigns are making a mistake, and that is they are taking whatever their attacks are and going one step too far," he said. "They don't need to attack each other in this way."

    On a new Obama ad released late last week, Rove said it was a fair point to call McCain "a longtime Washington insider.”

    “But they then say he doesn't … send e-mail. Well, this is because his war injuries keep him from being able to use a keyboard. He can't type. You know, it's like saying he can't do jumping jacks."

    Funny thing you say that because the Liberals were crying that Karl was up to his same old tricks again.

    The Headline I borrowed it from him, after the backlash from the last one I figured I play it safe.

    Guess not.

    The Media is Bias, I have to admit when they have a chance to pound a Rep. they pounce on it.

    Take the story above, like pointed out....he didn't just mention one person.


    BTW, MCCain can't send E-mails? And?
    That was pretty lame.

    I don't like either candidates.

    But McCain has taken the low-road. Very low.

    He said he would do theses things but he is. It's working.

    I've lost respect for him.

    O come on...so dramatic. Obama is just as low. I'm not defending McCain's stupid ads.. but Obama is playing the victim card when he is guilty of exactly the same smears.

    McCain wants "100 years in Iraq", "5 million dollars/year is rich"... both deliberate & gross distortions.

    He's trying to play the race card, but knows it may backfire on him. So he's forced to play the less controversial victim card.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I think Obama has not gotten as low as McCain.

    McCain's Britney Spears is one of many example. Rove is behind the scenes.

    but Obama is.....guilty of exactly the same smears.
    Obama is running a different type of campaign. I don't think BO's campaign strategy is as effective.

    It's not getting to the sheople.

    I see.. so being a conservative makes me a sheep?

    I said McCain's ads were stupid. I think he had the upperhand before ^ didn't need these latest ads.. the piig/lipstick thing was really dumb. All I said was that Obama was guilty of the same thing & cited examples, which you conveniently passed over without comment.

    And Obama is running the same kind of campaign, he's just not as effective... are those 30 lawyers/investigators in Alaska just on vacation?

    Baaaaahhh...

    That would explain the brilliance. That Britney Spears ad was PERFECT because it was 100% true. Obama isn't a presidential candidate, he's nothing but a Hollywood fabrication...............and now that the chips are down it's starting to show.

    NO.

    Go back and re-read my post.

    The "sheople" label applies to many people. Particular views do not make someone a sheep.

    It's how these views are thought out using critical thinking.

    A lot of the "sheople" concept comes from the American Mainstream Media (MSM).

    TV, radio, and the major newspaper, and those linked up with the Associated Press.

    The comment I made was not "dramatic," IMO.

    It was based on observation and many political scientists have objevtively written and said similar things.

    Please be specific in what you mean.

    That would explain the brilliance. That Britney Spears ad was PERFECT because it was 100% true. Obama isn't a presidential candidate, he's nothing but a Hollywood fabrication...............
    What explains the "brilliance?" I don't see brilliance in a Britney Spears ad.

    Obama is from Illinios now and I don't think people in Hollywood "fabricated"
    him because he ran for and wond the Senate.

    Please explain what you mean? We don't understand the Hollywood part.

    You calling others sheep is laughable. You're the biggest piece of mutton I've ever seen.
    My statement was not about a poster or posters but about a segment of the US population based on polling data.

    Have I been a sheep? Certainly. Do I try not to be? Yes, on a regular basis.

    It's about critical thinking and checking the information we are constantly bombarded with.


    Please provide more details, ALBOB.

    Answer my question first, are you being intentionally obtuse or you truely that dense?

    I even stated why I thought the Britney ad was brilliant and you still say you don't understand why I think it's brilliant? Yeah, my question still stands.

    I've never said, thought, or posted I was more intelligent than anyone on this forum, or anyone in general.

    Who told you this?

    Yes, I'm like everyone else. I'm a regular Joe-six-pack type of guy.
