Voters Slam McCain Mailer, Robocalls Linking Obama to Terrorists - FOX NEWS !!!!! omfg
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/17/voters-slam-mccain-mailer-robocalls-linking-obama-terrorists/

Automated phone calls and mailers linking Barack Obama to terrorists are a despicable ploy, say "outraged citizens" in e-mail campaign to reporters.

Numerous "outraged citizens" have peppered the e-mail boxes of reporters with complaints about a mailer and robocalls sponsored by John McCain's campaign and the Republican National Committee, denouncing them as a new low in politics and an ugly, possibly racist attempt to frighten voters about Barack Obama in the closing days of the campaign.

The automated phone calls in Virginia, Nevada and possibly elsewhere and a separate direct-mail piece imply Obama will be soft on terrorists abroad and play up his links to 1960s radical William Ayers.

The mailer shows pictures of North Korean President Kim Jong Il, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and carries the headline "America must face the threat of terror head on."

The mailer calls on Republicans to vote early by absentee ballot and says that, ""Democrats who want to control Washington have pledged to meet, without preconditions, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea ... Our foreign policy must not be appeasement."

3. strategy of appeasment?
People must be wholly ignorant of war and terrorism, if they think we can defeat terrorism through conventional military means.

We've created a nation of sports-idiots. Competitors, who compete for nothing. Winning is everything, even when you don't win anything. Losing is unacceptable, even when there is no real loss. Competition is the new God. There is nothing more important and winning paves the road to heaven.

6. We've pushed back pretty hard to Maine to the point where the state R's are running scared from it.
If you are receiving these calls or getting these mailers, call your local or state REPUBLICAN party office and BLAST THEM. Also insist to your local/state Dems/Obama people that they MUST push hard in the MEDIA on this. I think it's backfiring in Maine bigtime. People are DISGUSTED by this up here. US Senate candidate and state McCain honorary chairwoman Susan Collins is running from it hard because there has been such a backlash. However, this crap could still have some sway with SOME undecideds, so DONATE, CANVASS, CALL VOTERS, PUT UP OBAMA SIGNS, and push your local and state Dems/Obama people to fight back against these LIES and SMEARS very very hard.
