McCain/Palin 24x7 Smear Machine Didn't Work

Numbers like this bolster my sometimes-flagging faith in the American people's resistance to lies and distortions:

Obama's favorable rating is 62% -- the highest that any presidential candidate has registered in Gallup's final pre-election polls going back to 1992.

Yep, after two solid months of nothing but lies, slime, derision and smears being volleyed from McCain's Fortress of Doom, Obama's favorables have climbed to the highest of any Presidential candidate in 15 years. Stay classy America -- you impress me with your ability to tune out the B.S.

Ex-Governor Un-Endorses McCain

Republican ex-Governor William Milliken of Michigan today un-endorsed McCain, saying he is disappointed with McCain for the tenor of his campaign and his increasingly negative personal attacks against Barack Obama.

Sarah Palin Calls Obama a Coward

I am kinda glad I have to go out of town on business next week. It will at least partially shield me from having to become emotionally overwrought at the dangerous, hateful and bilious rhetoric spewing from Sarah Palin's filthy mouth.

At a rally today, Sarah Palin accused Obama of being a coward. There is nothing this vile, despicable woman won't say:

So you know, Ohio, from now until Election Day, you're gonna hear our opponents go on and on about how they'll, quote, fight for you. But since my running mate won't say this on his own behalf I will say it for him. And that is, in this campaign there is only one man who has every really fought for you. [John McCain is] [t]he only man who has ever really fought for you and the only man with courage.

Quote of the Day III

This pretty much sums up what McCain has ~~always been~~ become:

In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it's clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election.

Oh wait, I forgot that Obama is responsible for John McCain being a lying sack of crap because Obama refused to do town hall meetings with him. Never mind then...

Smacking Lying Republican Hacks 101

This is a clip from MSNBC yesterday where democratic strategist Ari Melber takes lying Republican hack Brad Blakeman to task for trying to keep alive one of the most despicable smears I've ever heard:

McCain Hires Pol Who Smeared Him in 2000

I wonder what price John McCain got from the devil for his soul?

John McCain has claimed that he believes “there is a special place in hell” for Tucker Eskew and the others who were behind the push-poll that implanted the idea in S.C. voters’ minds in 2000 that he had fathered an illegitimate black child, but that sure didn’t stop him from hiring Eskew to help prepare Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin...

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise after McCain hired Rove’s protegé two months ago and began running the negative campaign he pledged not to. There’s apparently no depth of depravity that McCain won’t stoop to and no issue he won’t flip-flop on in an attempt to win this election.

Obama Camp Responds to New Smear Book

Ooh, snap! The Obama camp just released a scathing 40-page PDF rebuke to the lies, smears and innuendo peddled by right-wing nutjob and unashamed bigot Jerome Corsi in his new book.

Read the PDF here: Unfit for Publication. Amazing stuff.

Here's USA Today's summary:

The pdf, called Unfit for Publication, devotes 29 pages to rebutting Corsi's "lies," three pages to his "widely discredited beliefs," two pages to evidence he is a bigot and two pages to the "offensive language" in the book.
