Obama is running an amazing campaign on offense and defense. His team must have studied the 2004 elections and realized that not responding quickly and unequivocally to swift boat attacks can spell doom. Just ask John Kerry.
In that light, Obama has a dedicated a web page to dispel and correct the myths, lies, and accusations about him and those around him. It is updated regularly and is a great place to go to counteract the "Obama is a Muslim" and "Michelle is a racist" memes circulating the net, dinner parties, and neighborhood cookouts.
McCain, who in '04 strongly condemned the swift boating of Kerry, now says he can't control or referee all television ads (and definitely not the Internet since he's computer illiterate) and adds, "“I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, but we all know there are groups who want to attack me.”
Huh?

About Me
First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. ~Pat Robertson, fundraising letter
