41. This is a tactic that needs to be punished mercilessly

Mon Jan 2, 2012, 10:07 PM

Jan 2012

For every 30-second ad that those douchebags run that do this, the Obama campaign needs to run a 1 minute ad showing how the quote was taken out of context, emphasizing how the ad is propagating bullshit, and asking the viewer if they can trust the White House to an asshole that lies to them.

In the debate, Obama needs to stick a finger in the face of his opponent can call him a liar and demand he retract the ad and apologize.

Standing up and fighting doesn't mean engaging in jerk-off tactics like making fun of a candidate's spouse. It means biting into his or her ass and not letting go when they play games with the truth.
