Thread Name: BS: Obama is a socialist
Subject: RE: BS: Obama is a socialist
I think my words have been twisted a bit. I'm saying that I won't believe the stories about Obama supporters behaving aggressively toward McCain supporters until I see some evidence of it. Such evidence doesn't need to come from the media. There's plenty of evidence of aggressive behavior by McCain supporters that doesn't come from the media, so we know that if Obama supporters were really behaving in such an aggressive manner, the evidence of it can be had, even if the media doesn't provide it.

Personally, I think people are just making stuff up to try to make Obama look bad (as they have been doing all along).

To the extent that I have any problems with Obama, they are problems with his policies. As far as I'm concerned, the way the McCain campaign is focusing on lies they're making up about Obama that have nothing whatever to do with his policies, demonstrates how utterly bankrupt both McCain and his campaign are when it comes to the things that matter the most to me, like any kind of coherent, meaningful, and constructive platform, and integrity and character. If McCain had anything other than more of what GW Bush gave us to offer, he wouldn't need to resort to the kinds of slimy smears and lies he and his campaign been lobbing about for months.
