The "John McCain is a LIAR" meme and a tool you can use to take it viral.
Content of email:

A meme develops, and it is a simple one - "John McCain is a Liar."

To wit - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/13/us/politics/13mccain.html

And - http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-na-earmarks13-2008sep13,0,625580.story

And - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/13/MNDM12T018.DTL

The Barack Obama campaign could not have been more on target -- McCain would "rather lose his integrity than lose an election."

Dick Cavett summarizes it quite well for those still trying to imagine McCain the way they so want him to be - "Every time I nostalgically try to regain my liking of John McCain, he reaches into his sleaze bag and pulls out something malodorous."

Check Cavett's "Experience 101" can be found here - http://cavett.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/experience-101/index.html

And, for those whom enjoy learning by watching and listening -

So, what to do .... well all I ask is that you share these insights and video links with as many voting age persons as you know. Request that, at a minimum, they read, register to vote and, most importantly, VOTE.

It's for each of them to vote for their choice, and this time around the difference between the candidates could not be more clear.


I've sent this message to many.

Please consider doing the same - and feel free to just use it or modify it any way you'd like.

And, Mods, feel free to use in a DU Activist initiative if you think it worthwhile.

Peace,
Bob

6. You can do a riff on Shakespeare: McCain(Brutus) is an "honorable" man.
McCain is an honorable man. He served patriotically as a POW, etc. But he seems to be lying now 24/7. What happened?
Honorable men don't lie and distort just to win, do they?

8. double edged sword - everyone is a liar
That can cut both ways. Better to question his integrity, his honor, his decision making skills and so on.

9. No. Best to be simple and cogent. They are LIARS. And the Obama folk ...
Edited on Sat Sep-13-08 01:55 PM by understandinglife
... just smack'um hard for it:

" running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern Presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking."


And, when has Obama lied during this campaign? And, when has Biden lied during this campaign?

If you do not have documented instances of it, then I suggest you realize this 'sword' has one very sharp edge and McCain/Palin grabbed it.

Peace,
Bob
