McCain-Palin Robo Call

[QueEx]

<font size="5">Smear & Fear</font size>


<font size="4">
Hello, I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know
that Barack obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers
whose organizations bombed the U.S. Capital, the Pentagon, a judges’
home and killed Americans and Democrats will enact an extreme leftist
agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his
democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.

This call was paid for McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National
Committee at 202-863-8500

Reid calls McCain robo calls 'scummy'

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he's surprised at "scummy" tactics employed by Republican John McCain's presidential campaign and "can't believe John McCain knows what's going on."

"I can't believe that (McCain) knows that they're doing this," Reid told The Associated Press, suggesting the Arizona senator had made a promise not "engage in something like this."

"If he knows and he's done this, it sure isn't right for John McCain, a person that millions of Americans look to for leadership. This is not leadership, when you do this scummy stuff," Reid said.​

McCain draws bipartisan criticism for 'robo

Senators in opposing political parties asked Republican presidential candidate John McCain to stop the automated phone calls that link Democratic candidate Barack Obama to a 1960s radical.

"These kind of tactics have no place in Maine politics," Collins spokesman Kevin Kelley said. "Sen. Collins urges the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately."​

McCain defends robocalls

On Fox News Sunday, whose transcript the Obama campaign just sent reporters, McCain was forced to defend himself from the charge of hypocrisy for waves of negative robocalls. It's a mark of how the public fascination with this race has made issues of process — robocalls are a tactic meant to go under the radar — instantly front and center.

WALLACE: But senator, back, if I may, back in 2000 when you were the target of robo calls, you called these hate calls and you said —

McCAIN: They were.

WALLACE: And you said the following: "I promise you I have never and will never have anything to do with that kind of political tactic." Now you've hired the same guy who did the robocalls against you to, reportedly, to do the robocalls against Obama, and the Republican Sen. Susan Collins, the co-chair of your campaign in Maine, has asked you to stop the robocalls. Will you do that?

McCAIN: Of course not. These are legitimate and truthful and they are far different than the phone calls that were made about my family and about certain aspects that — things that this is — this is dramatically different and either you haven't — didn't see those things in 2000.

WALLACE: No, I saw them.

McCAIN: Or you don't know the difference between that and what is a legitimate issue, and that is Sen. Obama being truthful with the American people. But let me tell you what else I think you should be talking about and the American people should be talking about. In the debate the other night, I asked Sen. Obama to repudiate a statement made by John Lewis, a man I admire and respect and have written about that connected me and Sarah Palin —

WALLACE: This is the congressman, civil rights leader.

MCCAIN: Civil rights leader, American hero. That connected me and Sarah Palin to segregationists, to the campaign of George Wallace, and even alluded to the bombing of a church where four children, four children were killed, and I asked him to repudiate that statement. I have repudiated every statement made by any fringe person in the Republican Party. And it has come up from time to time, and it probably will. The fact that Sen. Obama would not repudiate that statement I think is something the American people will make a judgment about. That robocall is accurate. It’s totally accurate. And there is no comparison between it and the things that were done and said in South Carolina.​

Is McMain just grasping for straws now? I fly with a bunch of ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE military pilots who try to tell me that same republican talking point!- It's BULLSHIT!!!
Obama was 8 years old for God's, I don't understand how so many whites can be so naive, or is it that they just cant stomach the thought of a "Negro" ( sorry for that) being President!?

I can only think, and hope, that the only people these calls will sway are the ones that weren't going to vote for Barack anyway. Any clear thinking individual who's reasonably educated will recognize these calls for what they are --- garbage.

I think they are aimed at what may be undecided or shaky Obama supporters. Some of the ads are running in the State of Maine where Obama has has an average lead, according to Real Clear Politics, of 51.7 to 42.7 (+ 9 percent) with 5.6 percent undecided. I don't know about other states but I spent some time in Maine once and I found that there were pockets of population in that state that has little, if any, personal contact with Black people, hence, their images are shaped by the media and, possibly, white voices saying misleading things about Black people over robo calls.
