“Friends, in the course of a few weeks, the Obama-Biden Democrats have launched attack after attack on me, my family and John McCain. They’re desperate to win and they’ll no doubt launch these attacks against other reformers on our ticket.”
Jake Tapper of ABC News asked a spokespeson of John McCain's camp and the Republican National Committee which "Obama-Biden Democrats" they were referring to. The response he received was that an Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski erroneously attacked Palin as a supporter of Pat Buchanan.
Greg Sargent of Talking Memo Points also asked a McCain aide what attacks on Palin's family they were referring to. This is what he got:
1) Obama finance committee member Howard Gutman questioning Palin's parenting and her willingness to take on the Veep candidate role when her family is so consuming -- a comment he subsequently apologized for.
2) Andrew Sullivan's demand that the McCain campaign release medical records putting to rest rumors about the birth of Trig Palin.
3) A user diary on the blog DailyKos, which is of course the site of leading Obama supporter Markos Moulitsas, raising questions about that pregnancy.
That's the compelling evidence they have? Wow.
Obama has been vocal in saying that families are off limits. Earlier this month, ABC News asked Obama if had a reponse to the announcment of 17 year old Bristol Palin's pregnancy. "Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama said, "and people's children are especially off limits.
The Republicans would nevermake such attacks, especially presidential nominee John McCain, right? Oops, they must have forgotten this little joke McCain made in 1998.
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." - John McCain
