Bill Burton doesn't know the RNC's running Rev. Wright ads?

[jenmito]

Chris Matthews just claimed the Repubs. are NOT running such a dirty campaign and specifically mentioned their "non-use" of Rev. Wright. But they ARE using him in ads in swing states and Bill Burton didn't even know that, I guess, since he didn't say they ARE, but pointed to the "pallin' around with terrorists" line.

1. give the guy a break...

he mentioned the palling around with terrorist statement that Palin made and Tweety interrupted him and they went onto something else...it's hard to get all your points in a very short period of time, especially on TV with Tweety....

[dennis4868]

2. Burton is...

the guy who fought the FOX News lady....remember that? He was great....

[jenmito]

7. Yeah, I saw that. I think it was Megan Kelly (?) he destroyed. n/t

3. I wasn't sure if it was the RNC or a 527

Either way, the RNC HAS been using a lot of slimey ass stuff in mailers, etc...and a McCain spokesperson tried to bring up Rev Wright without mentioning his name the other day...I like Chris, but I'm fucking sick of him trying to give credit to Mccain for not making Rev Wright an issue...McCain knows that he has other people to do it for him.

[MadBadger]

4. But isnt it a 527 running the WRight ads?

[RinaX]

5. The Wright Ad I saw was from a 527

The RNC and the McCain campaign have both been running commercials here (Jax, FL) about how inexperienced Obama is and how he'll raise taxes, blah blah, but none of those commercials directly referenced Rev. Wright.

6. I've seen the RNC Wright ad here is WI,

but anything McCain is being totally overwhelmed by all things Obama.

[jenmito]

9. The RNC ads CLAIMED they're outspending Obama in this last week...

Was that just a lie?

[elocs]

13. Not where I live in western WI. I rarely see any McCain ads lately.

The Obama ads tend to be very upbeat and informational.

[jenmito]

14. Good! Maybe in PA, OH, and FL?

Who knows. But even if so, it's not working.

[ErinBerin84]

8. I liked when Bill said

"The October surprise was Dick Cheney endorsing McCain!"

[jenmito]

11. Yeah, I liked how he snuck that in there!

And Obama talked about it in his speech today.

[jenmito]

10. Kelly O'Donnell just said he told the RNC NOT to use Rev. Wright.

She and Matthews were talking about how "honorable" McCain is and how he refuses to "go there." I guess he doesn't KNOW they're running those ads?! :eyes:

[ErinBerin84]

12. Kelly can shove it. I'm so sick of her.

McCain doesn't tell anyone to stay away from anything....what a crock.

[jenmito]

15. She's clearly "in the tank" for McCain...

probably because she's been traveling with him for so long. Yup-McCain pretends to be honorable. He's anything BUT.

[ErinBerin84]

17. CNN (Dana Bash and Ed Henry) do better coverage of McCain these days

They don't parrot the spin as much as Kelly...they know that there are problems in McCain land.

[jenmito]

20. I should start watching CNN again then...

I'm getting tired of some of these McCain people.

[Phx_Dem]

16. Wow. That sounds like an addmission to being part of the campaign

when you give them advice about what ads to run. NBC needs to pull Kelly O'Donnell's sorry ass out of that campaign, she's developed Stockholm syndrom.

[jenmito]

21. Yeah, she DOES always put him in the most positive light possible-

true or not.

[AtomicKitten]

18. Tweety says McPalin deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his clean campaign.

:banghead:

[jenmito]

22. Yeah. When he says things like that he makes me question his judgment.

On other things, he's right.

[David Zephyr]

19. Dick Morris is claiming $6 Million will be spent on Wright ads this weekend.

I don't know whether he is bluffing or stating something he truly knows. It's difficult to know with him as he just says shit.

[jenmito]

23. Good. If he wants to waste his money instead of using it on the GOTV.

I'm all for it!
