Default Rove calls out McCain

HAHA. I LMAO when I saw this. Ok, so the story says he called out Obama, but he's full of (*)(*)(*)(*) when it comes to the other side. He has no morals in that regard. But, to call out McCain on his campaign tactics... that's just freak'n.... I have no word for it. It's like Manson telling the Hill Side Strangler he went too far. HAHAHAHA.

Default Rove: McCain went 'too far' in ads

In the name of all that is holy and righteous, NOW I have truly seen EVERYTHING.



Rove: McCain went 'too far' in ads
CNN

(CNN) -- Former Bush adviser Karl Rove said Sunday that Sen. John McCain had gone "one step too far" in some of his recent ads attacking Sen. Barack Obama.

Karl Rove said both candidates are guilty of going too far in their attacks.

Rove has leveled similar criticism against Obama.

"McCain has gone in some of his ads -- similarly gone one step too far," he told Fox News, "and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the '100 percent truth' test."

The Obama campaign immediately leaped on the quote.

"In case anyone was still wondering whether John McCain is running the sleaziest, most dishonest campaign in history, today Karl Rove -- the man who held the previous record -- said McCain's ads have gone too far," said campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor, in a statement sent to reporters minutes after Rove's on-air comments. Rove masterminded both of President Bush's successful White House bids.

Rove said both candidates need to "be careful" about their attacks on each other.

"They ought to -- there ought to be an adult who says, 'Do we really need to go that far in this ad? Don't we make our point and won't we get broader acceptance and deny the opposition an opportunity to attack us if we don't include that one little last tweak in the ad?' " he said.

Obama on Saturday accused McCain and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of avoiding the issues to "distort" his record.

"They're going to talk about pigs, and they're going to talk about lipstick; they're going to talk about Paris Hilton, they're going to talk about Britney Spears. They will try to distort my record, and they will try to undermine your trust in what the Democrats intend to do," he said at a stop in Manchester, New Hampshire.

McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds criticized Obama for showing "zero restraint," considering what Gulf Coast residents were facing after Hurricane Ike. Bounds said the "attacks mark a new low from Barack Obama."

The Obama campaign shot back and accused McCain of "cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history."

McCain said last week that he thinks the tone of the campaign would be different had Obama agreed to appear with him in town hall meetings across the country.

Laughable that Rove the Rat would criticize McCain on his campaign attacks after what he did to him in South Carolina in 2002. Rethug hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Rove is known for straight talk and blunt honesty, contrary to Leftmyth. He's by far the pre-eminent political strategist/pundit of our time.

McCain runs his campaign like a military operation. This entire election is going to be decided by independents who read up on the issues themselves, Obama should probably focus on getting his message out instead of being played by the McCain campaign.

McCain has out played Obama at every step this election. Obama, just can't run with the big boys.

This isn't about Obama. This is about McCain getting a spanking from the Republican High Priest... maybe he will be defrocked .
