Obama Attacks McCain With Untruthful Ads (voters, campaign, ethics, democratic)

[progressive25]

Despite promising voters that he would avoid running misleading ads like his Republican opponent, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign’s slew of recent spots are filled with misrepresentations and untruths.

Link to rest.

Nothing Obama has put out there has come close to the pollution McCain has given us. Obama hasn't been above board at all times, but McCain lives in the muck and slime. He should be ashamed of his campaign entirely.

1 ad. Not exactly a "slew of recent spots". Compared to the multiple smearing, untrue ads McCain ran. I'd say they're not even close to even yet.

So far three of Obama's are lies the one by this OP and the two below.....only one of McCain's has been proven to step over the line...but not lie.
The left may not like the truth about their candidate but they have not been able to dispute it with fact. Obama has learned that the truth hurts when you don't abide by a moral code of ethics...

Political strategist Karl Rove said Obama may not have consciously wanted to attribute Palin with porcine traits when he used the “lipstick on a pig” analogy to describe the McCain campaign’s policies, but it sure looked like “a deliberate slap” at the Alaska governor.
“The only time this word has intruded in recent months in the campaign was in her, you know, self-deprecating remark at the convention. So for him to use the lipstick remark less than two weeks after she used it struck me as too much of a coincidence not to have been a deliberate attack,” Rove told “FOX News Sunday.”

went over the line in attacking the Republican candidate as out of touch because he doesn’t send e-mail or use a computer.
McCain’s “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. Well, there’s a reason why he can’t raise his arms above his head. There’s a reason why he doesn’t have the nimbleness in his fingers,” Rove said.

They all do it but if Obama is going to cry about then we are going to point it out. I do agree with.....Suck it up buttercup this is the big leagues and there is no crying in politics.

Well, this is wrong. At this point, Obama doesn't need to resort to this crap.

At most he could have said McCain has waffled on backing stem cell research. That would be truthful.

This still pales in comparison to trying to twist support for a bill that would teach children to protect themselves from perverts as being explicit sex education for kindergarteners.

**shock**. Even the NYtimes can't ignore the lies.
