In the Soptic tank

Featured image Now that Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter has gone to ground, it might be worth taking a timeout to note the circumstantial evidence suggesting that the Obama campaign may have illegally collaborated/colluded with the Obama Super PAC in the matter of Joseph Soptic. Moe Lane provides an illustrated summary here. A reader writes: When listening to Joe Soptic during that conference call with reporters hosted by Stephanie Cutter, it’s »

Obama Campaign Caught In Soptic Lie, Twists In Wind

Featured image As we noted here, the Obama campaign, in trying to distance itself from the Joe Soptic ad that blew up like an exploding cigar, blatantly lied about its knowledge of, and involvement in, the Soptic attack. Somewhat remarkably, the Obama campaign’s lies have been widely exposed and reported on.

Romney Ad Challenges Obama’s Character

Featured image The Romney campaign has gone on the offensive against the outrageous smears that Barack Obama has mounted in recent days. This 30-second television ad is, I think nuclear; the only question is whether enough casual viewers know the background. The ad, titled “America Deserves Better,” questions Obama’s character on the basis of his campaign’s dishonest tactics: UPDATE: This American Crossroads ad shows how tightly the Obama campaign is tied to »

Has the Obama Campaign Finally Gone Too Far?

Featured image The outrageous ad by Priorities USA Action, the Obama Super PAC–the one that accuses Mitt Romney of being responsible for a woman’s death from cancer, apparently on the theory that Romney was personally responsible for providing health insurance and health care services to family members of anyone who ever worked for a company in which Bain Capital invested, in perpetuity–has blown up in Obama’s face like an exploding cigar.
