“Voters need to know Senator McCain would continue President Bush’s failed policies - in Iraq and elsewhere. A vote for him is basically a vote for a third Bush term.” said MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.
The RNC quickly responded this morning, blasting the group and calling on Barack Obama to denounce the group.
“MoveOn.org is attempting to smear Senator McCain just like it smeared General Petraeus. MoveOn.org is joining Barack Obama and the DNC in maliciously misquoting John McCain,” RNC spokesman Alex Conant said. At nearly every event, Obama bemoans the ‘negative tone’ of politics, even while groups that support him are now running negative ads. Now, Obama should prove his rhetoric is more than ‘just words’ and stand up to MoveOn.org.”
Comment by JustHinting on 4 June 2008:
So many of these ads are misinterpretations of the truth as they are bias and meant to reflect negatively on opposing candidates. For instance, this recent interview, with Barry Farber, speaks specifically about a moveon.org ad with McCain stating he’s ok with staying in Iraq for another hundred years. Barry says, this ad is the “dirtiest he’s ever seen” and he explains why. It’s a real eye opener if you take what McCain said in the context he meant it in. Its a great interview.
