All I really asked is if you were aware of the all the negetive McCain ad's/etc that was floating around------and I asked in
response to your "oh woe is me" stuff on Obama like the DNC behaved substantivly better then the RNC....its a pretty simple statment that does not to me seem like it requires much beyond a "yeah, that *****" etc.
IMO
both sides got pretty ugly, misleading and inaccurate---like they do
every year----I simply can't get serious about a discussion that proports to put subtantive value on whom was the
least bad........IMO we all deserve better.
If you "missed the smears" as you put it---then that is simply
more evidence that you live in what is essentially and echo chamber where you hear----as Sargent Shultz from the old Hogans Hero's TV would say "I hear nothing.....noootthhiiiinnggg."

See, most even kinda objective people are well aware that
both sides got nasty.
Oh and please quit asking
me to do
your research
for you....or as you put it, begging me for "links."
See last time I actual broke down and gave them to you, you asserted that you "really" knew them all along---so essentially you wasted my time for nothing-----not going to do it again.
"fear based rallies"
Ah---but in your
first request you asked for "booing" McCain as well---I already answered 50% of your question----and I see
nothing by way of admission on
that score from you..........so no doubt that if I were to give you the "fear based" stuff you would
then say something like "yeah but that's was not a
rally
...........see your not asking a serious question---your just parseing and spinning.
"I hardly excused attacks on McCains service"
Wonderful-----please send me the link on where you were vigoiously defending McCains war record against those that were attacking it--where can I find you public oppostion to Clarks statement---I mean before I asked. 
Silence is tacit agreement after all....and in this case if your silent while the "other" guy is being attacked then you really can't ethically expect any differnce when your guy is getting hammered either.
And yes, you most certainly did link Karl Rove and McCains campaign....as if Rove was working on it.
As far as I'm aware other than being a RNC member Rove had nothing substative to do with the campaign this year....but since Rove is one of the "boogymen" in your ideological driven "fairy tale"---its not surprising he is lurking in the your moat so to speak.
