Smeared
This is how the right works. We saw it really start back in 1988 with the Willie Horton ads designed to deep six Michael Dukakis’ run at the white House and it’s gone steadily downhill from there to the rumours of the Clinton’s being involved in murder and cover ups over Whitewater, then the Swift Boating of John Kerry and now a dual attack on Hillary and Obama. Each time they sink a little lower and get more outrageous. Each time the nuggets of truth get fewer and fewer until they practically disappear. The only cure for this is for the MSM to take these attacks and dissect them like veteran CBC reporter Neil Macdonald did and then to throw it back at the right in disgust. Not much chance of that happening I’m afraid.
