All those McCainiac attacks on Obama’s character and background have come to naught

Maybe the McCain-Palin ticket would be in better shape going into this election if the Republican campaign had not been so sleazy.

Clearly, the DIRTY STUFF has not worked.

UPDATE: The proven futility of the McCain camp’s attacks on Obama’s patriotism and loyalty hasn’t stopped the comedy team of Dumb & Dumber from coming up with these 11th-hour gems:

Hey, McCainiacs! How’s that spread-the-wealth boogeyman working out? Scaring anybody?

One of the most peculiar angles in this year’s presidential campaign is the McCain-Palin gang’s foolish theory that all the economic illiterates in America could be persuaded to take up torches and pitchforks if they thought that Barack Obama was a socialist who wants to redistribute the wealth.

The McCainiacs ignored the fact that any tax at any level amounts to redistribution of wealth in one way or another. Instead, they peddled the ridiculous notion that Obama is some kind of Marxist.

But guess what? The strategy isn’t working. Most Americans are in favor of redistributing the wealth, as we see HERE.

Despite evidence to the contrary, McCain camp says it didn’t peddle bogus “attack” story

The phonus balonus story of the “attack” on McCainiac Ashley Todd had Straight Talk fingerprints all over it.

But the McCain camp is PLEADING innocence.

Palin’s pals say she’s bristling at how the McCain camp is running her show

Pretty interesting STUFF about internal strife within the McCain-Palin campaign.

Friends of Sarah Palin says she’s begun to “go rogue,” defying the advice of her handlers.

UPDATE: Here’s MORE STUFF along the same lines.

McCain camp raised 10 different campaign themes today, none relating to the economy

How’s John McCain going to close the gap if he can’t settle on one narrative message?

THIS isn’t the way to do it.

Erstwhile John McCain supporter Frank Schaeffer, a former evangelist, SAYS McCain-Palin rallies ”are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.”

Lots of conservatives saying lots of bad things about the McCain-Palin campaign

Conservative pundit Kristol says McCain-Palin attacks on Obama’s character are “stupid”

Columnist William Kristol (above), one of the leaders of the neo-conservative movement, SAID this morning on Fox News that the McCain-Palin campaign’s attacks on Barack Obama’s character are “stupid,” “pathetic” and “haven’t worked.”

Kristol said McCain needs a new strategy if he’s going to have a chance of winning the election.

FactCheck.org says McCain-Palin claims about Obama and Ayers are “groundless”

The TRUTH, according to FactCheck.org, is that the relationship between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers “was never very close.”

Moreover, the supposedly “radical” group to which Obama and Ayers belonged also involved various Republicans, including donors to John McCain’s campaign.

Of course, none of this is going to dissaude the mouthbreathers, conspiratorialists, racists and Limbaugh Dittoheads (yes, some of those categories overlap) from spreading their falsehoods as they shudder in fear that somebody is trying to sap all the decent folks of their precious bodily fluids. 

Fox poll: Nearly two-thirds of voters don’t care a fig about Ayers issue

The vast majority of respondents in THIS POLL who are influenced by the McCain-Palin campaign’s hysteria over Bill Ayers are Republicans who weren’t going to vote for Barack Obama anyway.

Indeed, all the B.S. about Ayers might be backfiring; most Americans think McCain’s waging a negative campaign. Only one in five feel that way about Obama’s campaign. (That may explain the stunned expressions in the photos above.)

Of course, you’re free to question the veracity of any poll commissioned by those leftists at Fox News.  Just like the other media, they’re in the tank for Obama (to use an expression popular among McCainiacs).
