Which attack is more dishonest?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Probably the swiftboat attacks, imo. Basically making stuff up and ignoring the report's of Kerry's own crew is arguably worse than replaying a damaging (but unedited!) clip somewhat out of context.

What possessed Obama to say that in the middle of an election year? Yes, when you read the whole speech it's obvious what he meant, but "You didn't build that," is right up there with "Corporations are people too". I can't help but wonder if there was originally a "... without help" or "... by yourself" that was supposed to be at the end of it.

There's an old proverb that goes something like, "You can predict the behavior of an organization by assuming it's secretly controlled by a cabal of its enemies bent on discrediting it." So far, both Obama and Romney seem to be living up to that standard.
