Did you see the John McCain doesn’t know how to use a computer ad?

How about the radio ads in Spanish that claimed John McCain had the same position on immigration as Rush Limbaugh (which McCain emphatically did not).

How about the whole campaign theme that McCain was “out of touch”.

Or just take a look at this.

The ads run by the DNC are not what I was talking about — I’m saying that Obama himself never deviated from a positive message during his campaign. All you’ve shown me are political advertisements, not statements from Obama himself.

This is why none of his associations or the criticisms of his past positions on issues stuck to him enough to damage his campaign — because he himself stayed composed and positive throughout, never lost his temper, and never personally attacked his opponents. And he certainly never said he wanted anyone to “fail.”

I didn’t — and don’t — support Barack Obama. My whole point is that this FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! meme is horrendously bad politics, and it achieves nothing except to further marginalize conservatives.
