Rahm on Robocalls: “The Worst of Dirty Tricks”

11/6/06, 12:39 pm EST

Just got off a conference call with Rahm Emanuel of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

He called the burgeoning Republican robo-call scandal — in which the National Republican Campaign Committee is aparently violating state do-not-call registries by placing repeat robocalls after midnight to Democratic voters, calls that are recorded to leave bleary-eyed and angry recipients with the impression that they have been placed by Democratic candidates –  “the worst of dirty tricks.”

“They’re doing again the very thing they got fined for,” Emanuel said. “We’ll be dealing with this.” Unfortunately, Emanuel admitted, any “dealing” will be done after election night.

Will the Big Deal Media make a big deal of this big deal?

Nah, Robt, cuz this is one of the least sleazy tricks the repubes have pulled in this election. As underhanded as it is, it pales in comparison to the lows the RCC has stooped at every turn. They have been so vile that this little ploy is mild in comparison.

What I wonder is: How can the average republican want to vote for the kind of people who run these disgusting ads, and trust them to represent them?

Robt. Braam,

What, you’re kidding, right?

The major media are money-sucking corporations, wholly indentured to the GOP. If they happen to report something newsworthy, this is merely a side-effect of their quest to maximize shareholder value and cast their advertising clients in the most positive light possible.

For this reason, whenever a new Republican scandal breaks, they are heavily under pressure to inform the public of what Paris Hilton is up to these days.

The sad thing is that she might be more interesting than the politicos on most days.

You got that right, Nordman.

What a suprise the nation is in for. Chicago politico Rahm Emanuel is a snake in the grass. But I’m sure the National media will cover for him.
