The company John McCain has hired to make all these sleazy robocalls appears to be the same company that made what McCain called “hate calls” against him in 2000.
Apparently Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) went on a rabid fear-mongering anti-Obama tear tonight on Hardball. Video excerpts soon …

McCain’s latest: claiming that Obama will turn the IRS “into a giant welfare agency.” And this even though McCain’s rationale for this claim is Obama’s support for a refundable tax credit, something McCain himself supports as a centerpiece of his health care plan.

His purported foreign policy experience hasn’t been part of the campaign’s message in weeks. Just black, black, black, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist.
