Obama Call McCain a Liar
Don't call him dishonest. Don't say his ads are untruthful. Don't say he is making things up. Don't call it the same old politics of fear and smear. Don't pull out the thesaurus to dance around the word. Call McCain a Liar. Do it in your ads. Do it on your stump. Do it in your press interviews. If McCain keeps it up at the word pathological to it. After the past 2 weeks of Ads and Palin "mis-speaks" about her own record and yours the media will actually back you up on this.

There is a power with the word Liar that does not exist with its synonyms. Dancing around the word makes it seems that the lies are harmelss. They aren't. Brand him a Liar and repeat it often and as many times as you can. Use the L-word. Its a word a 4 year old can understand and can internalize as bad. It strikes to the heart of his integrity and character arguments.

If he calls you out on it say I'll stop calling you a liar when you stop telling lies. Be prepared to site all the lies he told at a debate. Go off on a 3 minute rant if necessary at the debate on every lie he's told since June than look him in the eye and say where did the integrity of 2000 go from you sir. Do you want the office so bad you'll try to lie your way into it. Does the truth mean nothing to your ambitions.

Use the L word and use it liberally.

1. Republicans will keep repeating lies over & over to get people to believe.

Call them what they are liars and keep hammering them. People can't or will not process facts just fire up those vids or then and now statements and keep them coming.

2. I agree 100%!
Frame him as a pathological liar who cannot be trusted with the presidency. It's not like it wouldn't be justified. Obama doing this in a debate setting might even provoke one of McCain's infamous temper tantrums.

3. Low information voters do not understand subtlety
He must use the word Liar and also the word Unqualified to describe both McSame and Palin. But so far he hasn't. Keith Olbermann practically put the words in his mouth when he was interviewing him last week, and he still wouldn't say the simple word "Lies". He could be saving it for the debates, but by the time the debates come, it will be too late. He has to start now.

4. I agree....
If Kerry would have called Chimpy a liar in the first debate he would have gone nucular on national TV and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

He was on the ropes, obviously anything would have cause immediate combustion, everyone saw this but Kerry.

Call him a fucking liar. See what it gets you.

Hey - maybe wait until the debates.

8. Liar is short and it gets to the point.
Use liar, lying, lies. Those are effective words that put McCain on the defensive.
