Snippet from article bob posted: " A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites ...
"The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,'" a senior aide said.

From: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/01/obama.palin/index.html "Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president." Obama said reporters should "back off these kinds of stories" and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother. "How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off-limits." .... [And regarding the first quote, at top of this post:] Obama became annoyed when asked about a Reuters news service report that quoted an unnamed senior McCain aide saying that Obama <http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/candidates/barack.obama.html>'s name appears in liberal blogs speculating about Trig's parentage "in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change.' " "I am offended by that statement," the Illinois senator retorted, not letting the reporter finish his question. "There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us. "We don't go after people's families; we don't get them involved in the politics. It's not appropriate, and it's not relevant," he added. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I ever thought that there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they'd be fired." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clear enough? And now, cue the monkeys who will sing: "Oh, he's just saying that to try and look good, he's REALLY telling his staff to dig up more dirt." Sorry. That was as stupid as I could make it. The real monkey's will dumb it down more, I'm sure. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
