Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

I sense a bit of blowback in the wind

9 comments July 26th, 2008

Last month, Barack Obama used this metaphor when asked  about the prospects of facing nasty campaign tactics from his political adversaries:

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

That line came to mind when I read THIS STUFF by Al Giordano concerning the bogus crap right-wingers are slinging about allegations that Obama dishonored wounded U.S. troops at a military hospital in Germany by canceling a scheduled visit with them.

I think the FACTS in this case are on Obama’s side, and I expect that he’ll be more thoroughly absolved over the next few days.

But I also expect that his camp will respond in kind — and then some — to the fury of accusations in the right-wing blogosphere and to this ad released today by the McCain camp:

Fair and balanced — and a White House tool

Well, it seems that Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity have had a prostituted PIPELINE right into the White House.

Isn’t that special!

As Bush moves away from neoconservatives, they latch onto McCain

John McCain’s campaign is a microcosm of the Republican foreign-policy BATTLES between pragmatists and neoconservatives, which seems to work to Barack Obama’s advantage.
