Question: Has anyone in the media asked a McCain campaign Representative about the robo calls?
I haven't seen any of the McTroll talking heads answer a single question about this shameful campaign tactic. Has anyone seen anyone ask about this? I see them talking to reporters about it, but no one from the McTroll campaign has been called to task on these calls.

1. Kicked because I really want to know.
Even though I think I know the answer already.

2. I'm curious, too
what I have seen are people from various newspapers reporting that they have been getting angry calls from voters who have received these robo calls leading to the speculation that they really aren't particularly effective.

I'm sure the McCain campaign will dismiss the concerns of negativity with some lame excuse like "People need to know who Barack OBama really is." It's sort of their pat response to any crap they put out.

3. I really don't want the media to give
the McTroll campaign their usual pass on this one.

5. Even quasi sympathetic talking heads like tweety don't
ask them about it. He played it over and over though. Are the rest of them playing it over and over without asking actual reps from McSame for a comment? I'm sure this is what is happening, and compared to the outright propaganda coming from the corporate media since 2000, it isn't really surprising either.

6. And KO never has anyone on from the McToll campaign...
So I guess the question will never get asked.
