Stop Smearing Me!

I'm sick of being smeared by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the Left-wing media.

The attacks aren't letting up. In fact, they're becoming more intense every day.

I'm being called dangerous, potentially violent, and a racist.

From CNN:

CNN contributor David Gergen, who has advised Democratic and Republican presidential administrations, said Thursday that the negative tone of these rallies is "incendiary" and could lead to violence.

"There is this free floating sort of whipping around anger that could really lead to some violence. I think we're not far from that," he said. "I think it's really imperative that the candidates try to calm people down."

On Friday, Obama said the "barrage of nasty insinuations and attacks" was a result of the Republican nominee's failed economic ideas.

"They can run misleading ads, they can pursue the politics of anything goes. It will not work. Not this time. I think that folks are looking for something different this time. It's easy to rile up a crowd, nothing's easier than riling up a crowd by stoking anger and division. But that's not what we need right now in the United States. The times are too serious," Obama said at a rally in Chillicothe, Ohio.

There was nothing "incendiary" about the town hall meeting in Waukesha last Thursday.

John McCain and Sarah Palin didn't rile up the "crowd by stoking anger and division."

That's not what happened.

This angry mob stuff is an Obama campaign and media construct.

It's not reality.

But since the event in Waukesha, that's been the template. McCain-Palin events are hate fests, attended by hateful people, on the edge of becoming violent.

Of course, that's not the case.

This is a smear campaign against us. Obama and the Obama media are accusing McCain-Palin supporters of displaying "Weimar-like rage."

Frank Rich writes:

At McCain-Palin rallies, the raucous and insistent cries of “Treason!” and “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” and “Off with his head!” as well as the uninhibited slinging of racial epithets, are actually something new in a campaign that has seen almost every conceivable twist. They are alarms. Doing nothing is not an option.

Good grief.

I can say firsthand that this is not true of all McCain-Palin rallies.

I'm sick of being characterized like this. I'm sick of these lies.

These attacks "are actually something new in a campaign that has seen almost every conceivable twist. They are alarms. Doing nothing is not an option."

These smears must stop.
