Note to M$M: McCain is not "negative campaigning"
Negative campaigning is trying to win an advantage by referring to negative aspects of an opponent or of a policy rather than emphasizing one's own positive attributes or preferred policies.

Swiftboating is used as a strong pejorative description of some kind of attack that is considered unfair or untrue by many, for example, an ad hominem attack or a smear campaign, though often difficult to prove or disprove.

The McCain-Palin campaign is FLAT-OUT LYING, KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY.

It is a CAMPAIGN of LIES.

my thoughts exactly, smacks of raw desperation, I hope it brings him down soon.

I heard one of the apologist talking heads ask the question of "how involved" McGoo is with making the ads, trying to deflect criticism away from him and toward the people that work for him. When I heard that, the first thing that popped into my mind was "I'm John McCain, and I approved this message". Let him suck on that for a while ;)
