#1 I guess they are hoping if they keep changing the lies they can get away with it on sheer momentum with MSM assistance.

Kinda like a "fast talker" who tries to bull his way past opposition by talking so fast nobody can make sense of him.

#4 Commonly used in communist conficts and wars of liberation. It is what it is.

Black propaganda is false material where the source is disguised. It is propaganda that purports to be from a source on one side of a conflict, but is actually from the opposing side. It is typically used to vilify, embarrass or misrepresent the enemy.

It contrasts with grey propaganda, the source of which is not identified, and white propaganda, in which the real source is declared. The term is also sometimes used as a synonym for particularly malicious wartime propaganda or falsification of information that is captured by an enemy.

Black propaganda may also be used on one's own side, generated by altering genuine enemy propaganda in such a way as to distort its message. This is a particularly powerful tool if the target audience has a poor understanding of the language of the enemy, and is often used to insult the intended recipients, leading to a rallying effect.

#5 This does not say much regardng Obama's leadership. His campaign seems to be in disarray, the Dems, MoveOn, KOS, the MSM are going crazy trying to derail the Palin news thread. He does little to discourage smear attacks and Obama has completely lost the initiative. Several here have said that McCain is inside Obama's OODA loop, I think that (using a Navy anecdote) McCain is crossing Obama's T. Obama and the Dems are imploding.

Red State says the AK democrat party has released Gov. Palin's social security number, home phone number and 60 pages of details about her.

I am pissed beyond belief.

#7 channel, lotp!. I'd like McCain to put out an ad immediately (but in a sound alike to Don LaFountaine):

"In a world beset by privacy invasion and identity theft, by the lowest of low lifes, The Democratic Operatives have released Governor Sarah Palin's private personal information, including her social security numbers and address. Information that would allow hackers, thieves, and anarchists to steal her social security check, wreck her private medical file, sully the records of her family. Would you want this to happen to you? Vote for Sarah and her family against evil and deny these thieves, liars and anarchists their victory. America will thank you"
