He said lots of things but what's relevant is what's true. Tine will tell us what that is............he is already starting to change. There's already lots of gasoline being poured on the fire. Kerry tried to ignore the Swiftboats and didn't fight back very hard........it defined him in the end.

We're getting a little lost here. I don't know the real reasons Obama is silent, or whether he did it or even whether it matters. I think it matters that now anyone with a little expertise can produce a political ad, place it in a couple key outlets and watch it run. Anyone. So that means we could see campaigns losing control of their message. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. We might see ads of dubious or anonymous sources doing serious damage to one candidate or another. We won't need the MSM to distort or overblow trivia like the Dean Scream, and we'll go way beyond George Allen's macaca moment. In fact, we could have foreign individuals or even entities or even governments placing hit pieces, lies, distortions out there and occupy candidates in full time damage control. I mean, look what one little ad is doing right here on this thread. Suddenly we have people suspecting or believing that Obama is a dirty trickster, even that he's anti-female, with no facts to go on. I mean rully, people, who benefits from that?
