John McCain’s Most Recent Attacks Against Obama
The AP devotes an article today on the lies being told within the McCain campaign.
These include:
-McCain keeps saying his running mate, Sarah Palin, killed the federally funded Bridge to Nowhere when, when she she only pulled her support only after the project became a political embarrassment.
John McCain’s presidential campaign has been hitting Obama hard lately. Here are just a few of the most recent attacks:
-Accusations of sexism over Obama’s ”lipstick on a pig” comment.
-Comparison of Obama’s campaign to a pack of wolves on the prowl against the GOP vice presidential pick
-McCain camp claimed the Democratic nominee favored sex education for kindergartners, and resurrected the comments of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

The McCain campaign would much rather have a story about phony and foolish diversion than about the future.”
This is turning out to be the strangest campaign in history.
