The right is terrified and repetitive
After reading several left, center and right leaning blogs tonight, trying not to put my fist through the screen in rage, I realized by the sheer content and similarity of right wing comments to Obama-related posts that the repuke spin machine is now in high gear desperately trying to smear Obama with such ridiculous boogers as ACORN, Chicago thug politics, Bill Ayers and supposed socialist tendencies...

Here's one regarding the half hour media buy, if you can stomach it:

The fact that many are RNC paid operatives matters not; the repetition of these sick talking points without proper debunking filters down to the electorate causing a change in the discussion of important matters, a deflection if you will, to inane, divisive and far-fetched theories used to sway undecided voters.

I am happy with the way Obama has run his campaign, but I fear not going on the offensive to counter these desperate smears will be to his detriment.

4. Linked off huffingtonpost
They're everywhere!
These are the drunk, ugly guys cruising the bar at closing time for any skank who'll have them.
These are the bigots, the greedy, the cowards, the misogynists, the dirty underbelly of this country.

3. Those smears are alienating independents, who John McCain needs to win.
The crazy smear machine solidifies the base of RW whackjobs.
