Operation Leper.
RedState is pleased to announce it is engaging in a special project: Operation Leper.
We’re tracking down all the people from the McCain campaign now whispering smears against Governor Palin to Carl Cameron and others. Michelle Malkin has the details.
We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, [...]
Great diary over at Kos about the College Republicans. Seems two years ago, another CR tried to say he was attacked for his political views. Turns out, he was just beat up by his friends.
Like I said, this is their M.O. Dirty Tricks are a part of their history.

Thank you, Ashley. You single handedly made a fool of not only matt brubge, but also the entire repudlican party. You could have phone banked for a couple hours. You could have canvassed, even. Hell, you coulda put danced around a rally with a pitchfork skewering a stuffed Curious George. But you really took it [...]

OK folks, it’s now game-time. Come Tuesday, we are two weeks away from election day, and, to be honest, the national polls are tightening. It may or may not be coincidence, but Barack Obama and his campaign have all come out today, publicly and privately, saying they worry about complacency, and foregone conclusions causing many not to care. So, this is a post to get people motivated for the final push: we need it, we need to stay focused, and we need to get people to GET OUT AND VOTE, either now in early voting, or on Tuesday, November 4th. As Barack Obama says, it’s time to start “running scared.”
The assumption was that the polls last week reflected that the negative campaigning of John McCain weren’t working; he made no gains in the national trackers, and the statewides were as bad as ever. But I think we may have been jumping the gun on this issue. The goal of negative attacks ads may not be immediate returns. Rather, it’s to plant seeds of doubt so that, over time, people have a negative impression of Barack Obama.
That’s right. A drudge pimped video produced by the McCain campaign for a specific messaging attack got outviewed by what? Unscripted, real news, of hate rallies for John McCain. This is the major failing of the McCain campaign, and the major triumph of the Democratic primaries.
Seriously, they think that will fly? Are they really looking for another bone of conention with this candidate? I’m sure they’ll muddy the waters on this a bit, but isn’t this tax evasion? You know, how they got Capone? Isn’t tax evasion one of the three things that sink political candidates? (Dead hooker. Illegitimate child. Tax Evasion.)
