And remember when they devised a push poll against John McCain? South Carolina voters were asked "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?". Ha. I have no clue why McCain continued to support Bush. I would have had more respect for McCain if he had kept Bush's feet to the fire for the 2000 campaign deceit.
Lawdy, it would be so funny if it wasn't sad.
You referenced the most deceitful and shameful example of politics in recent memory. Rove later defended this tactic by saying that they never directly accused McCain of fathering an illegitimate black child, but stressed the "if" he fathered a black child illegitimately, would they vote for him. Not only was it unscrupulous and hishonest, but it reinforced racial prejudices.
A shock coming from anyone Bush-administration related?
