Right On

this was funny:

You can tell where they’re going with this because they’ve been calling ol’ Koz a nazi because of what filks have posted over there.

By pulling that Malkin stunt, he’s obviously attempting to portray himself as a moderate and paint liberal bloggers as wingnuts. It’s an ongoing strategy that hasn’t worked for them because even the most liberal sites aren’t nearly as the wack-a-doodle neocon sycophants.

Watch for some false radical “liberal” sites to pop up and act all crazy so he can smear bloggers the same way the right wing mis portrayed the main stream media as “liberal” years ago.

Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign is trying to tap a new audience of potential voters by taking his campaign message straight to liberal and nonpolitical issues-based blogs, which reach millions of readers but don’t often delve into conservative politics.

The strategy was in full swing yesterday when Mr. McCain invited non-conservative bloggers to join his regular blogger conference call, just hours after he delivered a major speech previewing his war strategy and other priorities for a first presidential term…

…Mr. McCain’s campaign said the Web outreach is a logical extension of an attempt to reach voters beyond his base. It also builds on his successful use of conference calls with conservative bloggers during the Republican primary, which blunted many of the harshest criticisms of the senator.

“The plan is to take the work we’ve already built on with conservative bloggers and to open up a dialogue with non-conservative bloggers and even nonpolitical bloggers,” said Patrick Hynes, Mr. McCain’s point man for blog outreach.

“We hope to be the most accessible and transparent campaign in history, to take advantage of what we think is one of the campaign’s strongest assets, which is Senator McCain himself, and frankly to empower voters who are also bloggers to get the answers they need to decide who to vote for.”
