Who else thinks that all the Crass RNC attack ads

[ashling]

were made for the express purpose of having the Rep. candidate get indignant ask for them to be pulled. Makes their candidate look like a fair guy while spewing venom in typical Rep. fashion.




:crap:

1. I DO

The national republican organization shows an over the top ad, the local goper gets to distance himself from the party that the people don't want. That's all rove lives for. Lying, manipulating, hating. Class gop strategy.

So orchestrated. After the candidate objects to the ad, and asks for it being pulled, the RNC says no we'll continue to air it.

3. The candidate alleges that

he didn't know anything about the ad - which, of course, rings true because of campaign finance regulation (as if that ever stopped them)

Theres got to be a way to tie these ads to the andidates themselves rather than the RNC. You know that was the strategy all along.

Rove to Candidates (sometime in summer 2006 ,,, or before): "if you get into a tight race, we will run a despicable ad for you which you immediately disavow and demand that it be pulled. "wink, wink.

:puke:

2. Absolutely

It's a throwback to the worst kind of scandalmongering. I just wonder how many people are buyingit and how many are disgusted.
