Going megaviral

The Obama campaign's new ad on the number of John McCain's houses is going viral something fierce. After being up on the intertubes for just seven hours, it's already been played over 290K times and it's already the number one video on viralvideochart.com.

It should be no surprise then that the McCain campaign is launching the tired old Tony Rezko attack on Barack Obama. To which I respond: Yawn. You bore me. Been there. Discredited that.

Instead of these kinds of attacks, John McCain should figure out how many homes he lives in. But if you insist on going down this road John, let's talk about you and your wife and the Charles Keating scandal.

I also wanted to flag for you a post I wrote earlier in the day rebutting the McCain campaign's scurrilous new attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism. McCain's new attack makes totally baseless accusations about William Ayers. I lay out more detail in the post, but the short version of my response is that (a) not even Jerome Corsi said what McCain said; (b) McCain has a G. Gordon Liddy problem; and (c) McCain voted to protect right-wing domestic terrorists bombing abortion clinics.

John McCain is running Karl Rove's campaign and promising George Bush's bankrupt ideology. No wonder he's getting so desperate.
