They were pushing the Obama is more negative than McCain

on Morning Joe this morning. They had some sort of study that showed Obama has more negative advertising. If Obama points out the truth about McCain's policies that is soooooo negative. People can see through the bs.

Then they started going on and on about how unfair the media has been to McCain. They were pushing that the media has been fawning over Obama for the past two months. I don't know what media they are talking about.........

1. The media has finally been reporting the truth, sometimes

And reality has a well-known liberal bias. They should report truthiness, dammit!

2. Like Truman, Obama is just telling the truth and they just think it's hell/negative.

I don't really care if Joe thinks it's negative. Negative works anyway. Better it be truthful negatives from Obama than McCain's lies.

4. this study is about ONE WEEK, last week to be specific, when Obama

Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 08:19 AM by DemsUnited

camp started pushing back on the McCain lies. Plus, this stupid study doesn't define what a "negative" attack ad is. Are tough but true ads scored the same as out and out lies? Because team Obama has definitely been putting out a lot of state-specific radio ads hitting McCain on things like Yucca Mountain and shipping Ohio jobs overseas. Negative? No. Hardhitting. Absolutely, and about time.

5. I'm so tired of this confusion between attacking policies

with truth and "negative" ads.

They seem to consider any Democratic ad that points out the flaws in the GOP campaign as negative. Guess Obama's not playing to their rules.

Good.

7. In GOP minds, telling truth = going negative.

Who cares? Besides, going negative wins elections. Americans pretend to care and speak out in faux outrage about such things, but then happily vote for the candidate whose campaign used the most dirty tricks and negative ads.

8. AM GETV is in the tank for mccain.

It's hour-after-hour of anti-Obama pro-mccain shit. They literally just read mccain talking points faxed over to them from rick davis.

You couldn't pay me enough to watch the shit that passes for news on GETV daytime.
