Character Assassination Time!
Is it that time already? For one, I am glad we've finally reached this death knell stage because it's a reminder that the two year drawn out political campaigning for the office of president of the United States is about over. In fact, we're now under one month to go. So, let the trash-smash mouth talk begin. And who better to get the ball rolling that SarahBarracuda? In national politics, you always throw the VP candidate under the bus first.
This weekend, Sarah got the ball rolling, by "rolling up her sleeves" and taking a few shots across the bow of the Obama political ship. She accused Obama of "palling it up with terrorists", saying things that "disqualified him from being commander in chief", and reminding people that, "Obama see a different America than we do." Who's the WE here? We white people? Of course you know that's going to be how it's interpreted!
Unlike the lessons John Kerry learned with the Swift-boat attacks in 2004, the Obama camp isn't going to keep quiet and let such statement go unanswered. Many feel that Kerry lost because he didn't defend himself sooner in the Swift boat saga.
The warnings of massive retaliation came as McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, took on the role of attacker and said that Obama sees America as so imperfect "that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referring to an early Obama supporter, 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Obama was a child.
Obama has denounced Ayer's radical views and activities.
On Sunday Obama unveiled a TV ad on the economy that paints McCain was "erratic in a crisis" - a not-subtle suggestion that McCain's age, 72, might be an issue. Democrats were well-synchronized Sunday, using the word "erratic" and Keating's name in nearly-matching sentences across the talk show circuit. Several Obama surrogates said his supporters may start reminding voters of McCain's ties to Charles Keating, a convicted savings and loan owner whose actions two decades ago triggered a Senate ethics investigation that involved McCain as one of the "Keating Five."
"This is going to be a month, I think, of character assassination," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., an Obama supporter, said on CBS's "Face the Nation." Really! You don't say! And we've got 29 more days to go. Be careful of allowing your kids to watch ANY TV from now til then. :-(
