stop the smears: awesome promo tactic
This is a seriously great promotional tactic - regardless of what side of the fence you're on.
Obama has launched Fight the Smears, a site devoted to answering any of the accusations that are being thrown around by McCain supporters. Worried that Obama eats live babies in satanic rituals? Now you can get the facts.
This is fantastic on multiple levels:
1. Presents the Obama brand as being a part of the conversation, and willing to answer any challenge brought to the table.
2. Creates one place for his supporters to point their friends who have heard "smears".
3. Works as yet another tool in the arsenal for the campaign. When questioned on any item, Obama supporters can claim "We've answered this in detail on our site Stop the Smears.com." In one sentence, you've just labeled the opposition's claim a smear, and driven traffic to a your promotional site.
Genius. Big brands could learn something here. Found on MaketheLogoBigger.

One other angle: Over time, as the smears collect, this will become a huge counterweight to the McCain campaign. Imagine a voter on the fence who visits this site 3 months from now and sees that it has collected 257 "smears" from the opponent's campaign. The sum total becomes a huge anti-message about the opponent himself.
I could use a site like this myself, for all those days my wife says I haven't taken out the trash...
Never did we think there would be people who hate the United States more than the Clinton's, are be more radical.
The only way to smear Obama would be to say He was born in. and grew up in the U.S. He loved his name Barry, before taking on the name of Hussane.
If elected president he would cut taxes, stop abortion, build up the military, win in Iraq, treat people as he would want to be treated.
He never agreed with Wright, Loves the Lord, and believes He is the only way to Heaven.
Say things like he is in favor of childen to Pray in school ever where, in fact he would change the law in favor.
The bad smear would be he is in favor of gun wrights. Will not raize taxes on oil so the prices will climb.
One smear I have heard is he wants to win in Iraq. He believes muslims are a threat to freedom all over the world.
Stop these before he looses every vote he has.
We know that Limbaugh's "Ditto-heads" won't look at this site. They're trained to think their side is always right and anyone who doesn't agree with them has an ulterior motive. The real challenge is to get uncommitted voters to look at it. Do this, and it could help the Truth, which is usually the main casualty of political races.
stopthesmears.com might be a scammish version of spam or a spammish version of scam. it wants your name and email.
If you want to make a point about any item that you believe in please make sure that it is readable. Failure to do takes away from your post, and makes you look unintelligent and uninformed.
