Margriet Oostveen: I spent a morning in John McCain's Virginia campaign headquarters ghost-writing letters to the editor for McCain supporters to sign. I even pretended to have a son in Iraq.

Yeah, I believe everything I read.

I posted this on a thread the other day.

Ridiculousness from the McCain camp.

.........thank God McCain hires the disabled........

..........without him, what would:

FWTHOM
Ozzieoswald
Johnson
Sniper
101 chairborne

........and such do for a living ?...." would you like fries with that sir ?".......McDonalds doesn't have room for all the detritus.........

i'm not a real blogger, i just play one on the internet.

"Salon has no evidence that any of the letters Oostveen wrote were ever published, in their original or adapted form, as letters to the editor in newspapers."

Yep, it made it's way here and people believe it.

I've known you're a shill for almost as long as you've been posting here.

Ghost writers are SOP for politicians.

Who do you think writes speeches, flyers, commercials, pamphlets, Web sites, etc.? You moron partisan hacks think Osama sits down and writes all that stuff himself?

VERN

Letters to the Editor are supposed to be written by real readers of the paper.

Everything you mentioned is PR and speeches, not apropo to this topic.

Keep up the good work Nanc. If they didn't bitch, you wouldn't matter.

You moron partisan hacks think Obama sits down and writes all that stuff himself?

/Yes, FTFY.

All? No, but he does write more of his speeches and books than any other pol Spud can think about.

Nice attempt at a deflection anyway.

Ah, who's Spud kiddin ...yer terrible.

This isn't about who writes more of their own stuff this is about Yawn "The Hack" McLame hiring folks to pretend to be concerend citizens writing letters to the editor on their time and dime. Along with the push polls, bad batches of early voting forms, incorrect attack ads, attempts to cage voters etc etc ad nauseum it just indicates that McCaim is just another amoral, unprincipled, reptilican cheat.

Not that anybody who's been paying attention thus far needed any further proof.

Just sayin'.

Be Well.

wisgod - if i didn't matter, they'd still bitch - they'd eat their own if the rest of u.s. dropped off the planet.

I even pretended to have a son in Iraq.

What a piece of shit.

"... they'd eat their own if the rest of u.s. dropped off the planet."

Yeah, Nancy, you do matter. Sort of like the mosquito that whines before landing on my nose at 3 a.m. I do wonder if you mean the rest of the United States or the rest of "us." herm

I suspect that several of these "letters" have shown up in my local paper of late, they are painfully obvious in that they just parrot the McCain campaign talking points, almost word for word. Thankfully today there was an Obama letter writer that took on each point and totally blew them away. It was quite impressive.


........a few years back there was a journalist at some major paper that was paid by the administration to promote No Child Left Behind for 250k per year......

......the paper he worked at didn't know, but he got fired after the truth came out.......Stevenson ?? maybe ??

.....the Repubs have been doing this shit for a long time......

.......the Party of God and Family Values........

"... they'd eat their own if the rest of u.s. dropped off the planet."

This, folks, is sick mentality.

America is better than this.

McCain taking another play from Bush and the Pentagon.

"...It was quite impressive.

depends upon WHAT impresses you. subjective.

Ghost writers hired to make up political hackery for benefits to mccain, well, now how could anyone honestly say they believe anything about this guy.

What is funny is he is using his honor as a hero as a campaign stand yet somehow somewhere mccain has lost his honor which removes his status as a hero.

All? No, but he does write more of his speeches and books than any other pol Spud can think about.


So, the DudSpud(tm) has been tracking the speeches and books that pols write (and don't write) themselves. He knows who writes how much of every speech and book that these pols are related to. Yep....amazing!

If Nanc is a paid shill for McCain he is not getting his money's worth. Her posts actually benefit Obama by demonstrating the stupidity of McCain's supporters. Nanc, keep it up. We love you.
Obama's numbers rise every time you post.

nanc doesnt matter.

"nanc doesnt matter."

Half the posts on this thread are about her.

ok

Ben Franklin used to do the same thing. Of course, he wasn't running for president.

ACORN: We were hired by the Hussein camp to register the dead!

....the Repubs have been doing this shit for a long time......

Rememeber when the supposedly grateful Iraqis waving American flags in baghdad were actually in Dearborn?

And lets not forget Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman...

The Republicans severed their last ties to Truth and Reality after Ike left Office.

"the Hussein camp"

It's always easier identifying the bigots when they volunteer themselves.
