Bloomberg reports on the GOP’s attacks on Senator Obama:
Republicans plan to paint Obama as a liberal who is out of step with mainstream Americans on abortion, crime and health care, the same label used against failed Democratic candidates George McGovern and John Kerry. ``For someone who's been in office as little as Barack Obama, the guy has a record that defines the word liberal,'' said Chris LaCivita, a Republican media adviser to the Swift Boat veterans who assailed Kerry's Vietnam War record during the Massachusetts senator's 2004 presidential bid.
Obama’s a liberal? He should be shot! Oh wait, I’m a liberal. I think Stephanie Cutter has the right take on this crap from LaCivita:
The Republicans' attack is ``the same playbook they use every four years,'' said Stephanie Cutter, Kerry's communications chief in 2004. ``Whoever the nominee is, they will allege that person is too liberal.''
This is the 2008 election not the 2004 election. Obama should wear the badge liberal with pride!
