The issue of attacks ads and dishonesty is becoming a major campaign issue, and Barack Obama‘s campaign has put out a strong ad overnight quoting a number of newspapers criticising the John McCain campaign. The ad ends with the line “Deception is all he has left”. View it here.
The ad comes on the heels of John McCain‘s appearance on popular TV talk show The View, in which several of the panellists grilled McCain about Sarah Palin, reform and his attack ads. View the video here.
Australian blogger Trevor Cook of Corporate Engagement has written a post entitled “Country second: McCain’s dishonesty is the key issue” which rounds up a number of American newspaper articles and comment pieces about McCain’s behaviour on the campaign trail.
Thanks I watched the link to The View. McCain I thought did extremely well surrounded by and bombarded by an aggressively opinionated rather than simply enquiring panel all of whom were clearly Obama supporters including Whoopi Goldberg
JamesK: What’s to enquire about with the McCain/Palin run for the presidency? You don’t have to be an Obama supporter to know that once in power, the next war, probable target Iran, (which is awash with oil) will be days away. Anyone in the presence of evil is entitled to have an aggressive opinion that they don’t like the scenario which is about to unfold. I’m bloody sure I don’t want the world to be involved in absolute chaos. All at the hands of a redneck celebrity ‘Z’ lister and her senile old puppet master. If that is aggressive of me. Then so be it.
