Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In Alfred Ingram's Blog:
"Sunday, on 60 minutes, I watched a guy in Ohio say he really liked what he heard from Obama, but he'd heard that Barack was actually a muslim and that he wouldn't sing the National anthem. Steve Croft, the interviewer, said ' You know that's not true,don't you?'
These things keep coming up because there's an active effort to keep these lies before the public. These attacks didn't work for most of the campaign, because the attacks came too early, giving us time to demonstrate how false they are.
The new tactic, and all they have is tactics not strategy, is to make the attacks as close as possible to election day, leaving us little or no time for an adequate response.
We have to do the same thing, not with lies, but with truths.
We must use their instinctive reactions against them, questioning their secretiveness, their financial ties, their poor management.
We must make the press feel inadequate for not following up on these items. We must ask why, if her claim to the nomination is her experience, the record of that experience is sealed.
We must show that this is a historical pattern. The Whitewater documents only appeared after the statute of limitations had run out and she was facing contempt charges.
We must show, that she doesn't trust the people she wants to support her.
We must do this as close to the next primary as possible, leaving her with only the option of releasing those records or explaining why she doesn't trust the voters.
Or of plagiarising Pontius Pilate by asking " What is truth?""
