POPSUnder the Radar New Obama site set up to fight the direct mail and Robo Call attacks. "Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it." ~John McCain (pre-principles loss)

POPSObama, NcCain twist records Why don't we just hold the election today and be done with it? There is going to be nothing constructive from either of these two and only the media will benefit by collecting money to run their ads.

POPSFight the Right-Wing Smears Sad to say, I know and receive email from people (including relatives) who have no problem forwarding right-wing lies and racist propaganda about Obama. I went to this site to have a good source of information to refute the hate emails and replied to all who received, and sent, the smear emails I have received. I encourage you to do the same if you have the misfortune to be sent trashy lies about Barack Obama. To say nothing is to condone the sending and receiving of such emails.

POPSMcCain's Crippled Campaign As we watch the national train wreck that is called the McCain Campaign we can only wonder what political shenanigan is around the next corner. If the future of the nation wasn't at stake this could be really entertaining.

POPSRove criticizes McCain AND Obama ads I have seen a number of liberal sites and even clips here that would lead you to believe Rove only criticized McCain and didn't say a word about Obama's ads or personal attacks. It is funny how they will dismiss anything Rove says because he is eeeevil until he says something they want to hear.

POPSRove: McCain Campaign 'Beyond the 100% Truth Test' Boy Genius missteps and McCain's campaign of victimhood takes a little hit. The piece goes on: Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor, echoing Obama campaign language from Saturday, quickly blasted out a statement saying: “In case anyone was still wondering whether John McCain is running the sleaziest, most dishonest campaign in history, today Karl Rove -- the man who held the previous record -- said McCain’s ads have gone too far.” Karl is so not getting the GOP Christmas bonus this year...

POPSRove on McCain and Obama going too far Although I don't like or respect Karl Rove I have to commend him for saying this. And if it's true that McCaiin can't send email because of his war injuries then Obama should quit calling attention to it.

POPSMcCain's sex-ed lie "shameful; downright perverse" Ad falsely accuses Obama of advocating explicit sex education for kindergartners; the Illinois Senate bill referred to recommended teaching kids to recognize inappropriate touching, encouraged teachers not to go along with "stork"-type myths; it never even suggested "sex education" in the way the ad portrays. McCain lies again.

POPSJohn McCain Comedy Club One commenters response: "Your snarky sarcasm proves that McCain's ads are definitely arousing fear in those who do not wish McCain to win." We are in fear of a McBush win because America's downward spiral of world opinion towards us, our economy, or ethical and moral values, our morale as a nation under siege by neocon intelligence gathering goons at the NSA and Homeland security needs to stop and McBush has vowed to continue Bush's attack on all of us through his shredding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

POPSFor McCain, Not All Multimillionaires are 'Rich' From last night's "almost a debate, but not really" at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California; McCain blows a question very badly, handing ammo to critics (like me) who say he's out of touch and an economic lightweight:

POPSEmbedded reporters or Republican activists? Cont.... "It's unremarkable to send reporters with thin journalistic credentials to Iraq, or to promise that journalists with a known political bias will report "objectively." Conservative and liberal publications send their preferred reporters to Iraq all the time, and their representatives come home, unsurprisingly, with differing conclusions. But what about sending political activists and GOP operatives to Iraq in the guise of journalists, with the cooperation of the U.S. military and on the taxpayers' dime, so that the activists can come home and proselytize for the Republican presidential candidate's position on the war?"

POPSGergen: McCain Using Code Words To Attack Obama As "Uppity" Cont.... "Earlier in the week, another former McCain campaign manager, John Weaver, described the ad as "childish" and wondered aloud if it diminished his stature. The Senator's own mother, Roberta McCain, while acknowledging that she had not seen the Britney spot, called the idea "stupid." And Kathy Hilton, Paris' mother, took to the Huffington Post Sunday morning to deride McCain from dragging down the intellectual thrust of the campaign."

POPSThe Whiner that isn't Whining Sen. John McMad can't make up his mind. The press was against him yesterday but today it wasn't. McCain has all the characteristics of a pathologically angry person. He acts rashly out of anger, then gets regrets about it and enters into a period of denial. He is too much of a loose cannon to be President.

POPS McCain Running Against the Press The press is saying good things about Obama. That can't be tolerated. It must mean the press is biased because good things are only supposed to be said about John McCain, a darling of the press for years. So McCain has decided to attack the press. In his desperation, he is taking a page from the paranoid days of Richard Nixon.

POPS A Trifecta Of Gaffes Has Obama Taking Heat
By laughing not with, but at, Obama the mainstream media again demonstrated the type of emotional distance one might almost mistake for journalistic independence. (Conservative pundits have been mocking Obama’s elite iconography for some time.) For patriotic Americans holding traditional value this was a bit of civic blasphemy.The presumptuousness was only outdone by the lack of reverence for existing symbols of the U.S. Obama played the race card - loudly and blatantly. He suggested, with no evidence whatsoever, that Republicans were pointing to his race as a reason to question his fitness for the presidency. That tactic seemed further evidence that his effort to minimize race are over and he now intends to use race as a sword to attack his Republican opponent. It however is a potentially dangerous strategy, certain to turn off some segment of white voters who do not want to be bludgeoned by racial politics. Here Obama has done what weeks of McCain ads and speeches could not

POPSRun for Office for $500 Hilarious. If I had an extra $500 I'd use it to make attack ads against all the people on my arch-nemesis list.

POPSCivilization's First Attack Ads - The Attack Poem Here's a poem he directed at a rival (all translations are from Brooks Haxton's book Dances for Flute and Thunder from Viking Press): Swept overboard, unconscious in the breakers, strangled with seaweed, may you wake up in a gelid surf, your teeth, already cracked into the shingle, now set rattling by the wind, while facedown, helpless as a poisoned cur, on all fours you puke brine reeking of dead fish. May those you meet, barbarians as ugly as their souls are hateful, treat you to the moldy wooden bread of slaves. And may you, with your split teeth sunk in that, smile, then, the way you did when speaking as my friend.
