Right Puts Obama in Media Crosshairs

Politics – Two longtime practitioners of negative campaigning, Floyd Brown and David Bossie, intend to put the Illinois presidential hopeful in the crosshairs via their new organization, the National Campaign Fund. Brown recently told Time magazine that he has set up several other 'front groups' to fund a long-range effort to erode Obama's support.

Barak Obama had a free ride in the Primary cycle, because Hillary didn't want to rock the boat. He won't have it so easy in the General. He will answer questions, as will McCain, and he will debate whether he is ready or not. Americans won't elect a pig in a poke.

They have before. Twice in recent history. Though I suppose technically they didn't elect him.

Why are the right-to-life people the first to suggest death at every turn?

Hopefully that is true, because then they won't elect hypocritical flip-flopper John McCain.

A whiny little article crying that the big guns will be unleashed in the run-up to the general election.

News flash: it happens every time. By both sides.

And, for you, that makes it "ok"?

It is wrong, period.
