How do you handle a smear campaign? By fighting back in the same vein and making the perps taste a bit of their own medicine.
By this I don’t mean that Obama’s campaign will start smearing the ’smearers’. But instead, the challenge would be met at the same level and at a war footing.
Perhaps, sick and tired of all the misinformation and propaganda war being waged against him in the presidential race, the Obama camp has started a website called “Fight The Smears” to pick up support from all those who deserted him after hearing/seeing the misinformation campaign against him.
For instance, you can find the truth to the questions like whether Obama is a natural citizen or if he ever attended a radical madrassa at a young age from this site.
Obama is trying to win back the support that he lost during the below the belt punches and tirades when him and Hilary were slugging it out. In fact, according to the latest poll, Obama has gotten a huge bump of approval from middle aged women who are more likely to vote for Obama than McCain.
I got to see Obama’s birth certificate from the site -
Senator Obama is NOT a Dirty Muslim!
“What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge,” says Mr. Obama, while denouncing statements of him being a Muslim as a smear. Why is the presidential candidate who claims to be religiously inclusive is treating the word “Muslim” as an insult? Apparently, it is OK for Mr. Obama to be associated with terrorists like William Ayers or racists like Jeremiah Wright, but God forbid somebody would call him a Muslim! No, he won’t stand for that kind of smear! We admit that most terrorists are Muslims, but most Muslims are not terrorists and the statement on Mr. Obama’s website is insulting to hundreds of millions of people.
How could a man who discards his family heritage in favor of political expediency be even considered for presidency of the United States? Where are all the so-called “Islamic civil rights groups” like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc. who are quick to defend every Islamic terrorist, but are silent when Muslims in general are being denigrated? Would Mr. Obama have the same reaction if someone claimed that he was raised as a Jew? We sincerely doubt that.
Muslims Against Sharia demand immediate removal of “SMEAR: Barack Obama is a Muslim” statement from the official Barack Obama’s website as well as an apology for giving the word “Muslim” a negative connotation.
