Desperate McCain/Palin Campaign Tries To Swiftboat Barack Obama

As Obama’s lead in the polls continues to expand, McCain/Palin continue to get more and more desperate.

Today they sunk to a new low with Sarah Palin’s disgusting lies regarding Obama & William Ayers.

The McCain campaign knows they can’t win on the issues so they think that their only tactic left is to try to throw Karl Rove style lying attacks Obama’s way. Hasn’t America had enough of this kind of politics? It’s almost as if McCain/Palin are trying to prove to everyone that they are exactly the same as Bush/Cheney. If that’s their goal with these despicable attacks then they have succeeded.

The Obama campaign responded (via spokesman Hari Sevugan)

“Governor Palin’s comments, while offensive, are not surprising, given the McCain campaign’s statement this morning that they would be launching Swift boat-like attacks in hopes of deflecting attention from the nation’s economic ills. In fact, the very newspaper story Governor Palin cited in hurling her shameless attack made clear that Senator Obama is not close to Bill Ayers, much less “pals,” and that he has strongly condemned the despicable acts Ayers committed 40 years ago, when Obama was eight. What’s clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy.”

Does McCain Really Want To Start Making Association Attacks?

Is this low road really the way they want to go? Remember the Obama campaign can always hit back with John McCain’s much closer association to Charles Keating.

Or how about Sarah Palin’s much closer association to Alaska Secessionists?
