Here Comes The Shitstorm

I guess now we’ll find out how effectively he can fight back, but man, it’s gonna be ugly:
An old right-wing attack dog has returned with a new target: Barack Obama.
Starting Tuesday, a group of conservative activists led by Floyd Brown, author of the famous Willie Horton ad used so effectively against Michael Dukakis in 1988, will begin a campaign to tar Obama as weak on crime and terrorism, a strategy that aims to upend Obama’s relatively strong reputation among Republican voters.
“The campaign by Hillary Clinton has not been able to raise Obama’s negatives,” said Brown on Monday. “It is absolutely critical that Obama’s negatives go up with Republicans.”
It baffles me how people like Floyd Brown can sleep at night. I guess those pillows stuffed with money are more comfortable than I can imagine.
Just remember, karma never fails.
I know, those republicans are so horrible.
Good thing the Clintons have run such a clean, optimistic, positive campaign that focuses on the candidates’ strengths. The GOP literally has nothing to use.
And thank heavens THIS site hasn’t played right along with false attacks, offensive stereotypes, right-wing sourced smears, and outright lies.
I think I picked the wrong week to stop huffing glue.
Karma sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t.
Look at Bush’s and Cheney’s karmic debt —
how will that ever be paid off?
It would take millions of lifetimes.
I suspect that a % of the NC populace will assume these ads were sponsored by Clinton behind the scenes since they simply take the issues she kept harping on in the last debate a little further than she did. Even if they don’t think she’s directly behind it , her behavior will be front and center in people’s minds because of this.
Both Obama and Clinton stand to lose. As do we all.
