From Obama campaign "Senator Clinton attacks"

[ursi]

Just got this in my email:

From the beginning of this campaign, Barack has pledged to be open and honest with the American people -- to tell us what we need to know, not just what we want to hear. That kind of honesty is at the core of our movement, because if we adopt Karl Rove campaign tactics of deception and fear, we're never going to change Washington and bring the country together to get things done.

Over the last few days, those same old tactics have come to Nevada.

Hillary Clinton has sent direct mail pieces to Nevadans distorting Barack's position on Social Security.
* She is on the radio deliberately confusing voters about his long-standing opposition to Yucca Mountain.
* She is on TV misleading people about his outspoken position against the war in Iraq.
*
But perhaps most disturbing, Clinton has attacked Barack on his 100% pro-choice record.

The tone of Senator Clinton's campaign has been so negative that even her supporters are saying enough is enough. Lorna Brett, a former Clinton donor and president of Chicago National Organization for Women, had this to say about the tactics:

"I was disappointed that Hillary Clinton would launch misleading attacks on Barack Obama and his unimpeachable record on a woman's right to choose. I have switched my support to Barack Obama because I know the truth. I cannot be a part of that kind of deceptive politics."

It is time to turn the page on the politics of fear and deception. Please join us and attend your local caucus this Saturday at 11 a.m. Cast your vote for Barack Obama and our future.

Find your caucus location and stand up for change this Saturday at 11:00 a.m.:

Barack has always said that if he's attacked he will respond forcefully with the truth -- but that he's not going to be part of the negative, misleading political games that keep us from getting things done.

Tomorrow, you have the power to move our country beyond deceptive politics. Stand for change this Saturday by caucusing for Barack Obama.

Find your caucus location, and be sure to bring your family and friends to caucus on Saturday:

Barack understands that if we want to solve the biggest problems facing our nation, then we can't just change parties in the White House -- we need to change our politics. Tomorrow morning at 11, you can stand for change.

Thank you,

David

"Hillary Campaign Opens Fire On Obama Over Reagan Comments" - TPM headline

From my experience here, TPM is one day late at least with that last bit of news.
