I find it interesting that Obama is always making statements accusing McCain, the GOP, and the right in general of creating and spreading vile and or racist rumors to make voters fear him, but when the source of most of said rumors is traced it’s usually some leftist who’s responsible. When effective arguments to refute the rumors are made, not the cryptic, legalistic denials and “they’re all just nazi Republican bigots” bs usually offered by the Obama campaign, but determined efforts to expose as much truth as possible, those arguments most often appear on sites like this one, NRO, and other supposed members of the “vast rightwing conspiracy”.
I’m not ordinarily a proponent of the conspiracy theory of history, but it must be remembered that the tactic of subjecting oneself to phony assaults to elicit sympathy and demonize one’s opponents is one the left has used effectively and often for some time. Another point to remember is that the original meaning of the word sinister is left.
