abc deliberate smear by Jack Tapper -followed by DU'er adding the word 'attack"

[rodeodance]

UPDATE---from ABC Jack Tapper---on the Clinton 527 ads: First one was deliberate Hillary smear!

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/02/new-pro-clinton.html

From ABC---Jack Tapper----the same blogger who has made 2 recent ‘mistakes” when writing about Hillary Clinton. He corrects them later when the damage has been done.

Tapper has now Omitted this phase:
“ALP has developed three ads aimed at tarnishing Sen. Barack Obama, “

Many here in GD-P have translated this to assume that all these ads will be **attack”** ads
And have subsequently posted demeaning comments about her and the campaign.

Also the original poster had inserted the word ‘attack” into the OP

“ABC News: Clinton supporters have set up a 527 to attack Obama”

Lets not assume these to be attach ads. Thank you.


REVISED POST-from Tapper: (earlier writing was posted here on GD-P also-see below)
....

“ALP has developed three ads aimed at pushing the idea that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is a talker and not a doer -- the ads are called “If speeches could solve problems" -- and they will contrast Obama and Clinton on issues of importance to middle class voters, such as the economy, health care, and the mortgage crisis.
.....

NOTE: Some minor tweaks in diction to this post were made for accuracy about the actual ads. And the sentence about the ads not mentioning Obama by name was added”

New Pro-Clinton 527 to Ding Obama in Ohio

ABC News has learned that a group of Democratic politicos have set up a new independent 527 organization called the American Leadership Project (ALP) with the express purpose of helping Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, beat Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in Ohio, and possibly Texas and Pennsylvania as well.

Free from campaign finance rules, ALP will not be legally permitted to coordinate with the Clinton campaign, but it is clearly intended to help her.

The group is targeting through TV ads, mail, and phone communications white women under 50 in the Ohio area -- specifically Cleveland, Columbus, Youngstown, Charleston (WV), Wheeling- Steubenville, Zanesville, and Parkersburg (WV).

White men will also be a focus, and if there are any excess funds Latinos in Texas and middle class families in Pennsylvania will also be targeted.

ALP has developed three ads aimed at tarnishing Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as a talker and not a doer -- the ads are called “If speeches could solve problems" -- and they will contrast Obama and Clinton on issues of importance to middle class voters, such as the economy, health care, and the mortgage crisis.

1. I am aware of this

And what concerns me is if it's any indication of his supporters that he may be similar in his mind-set as them.
