Robo-calls

[prog]

If the story about the Republicans' cross-country, 11th-hour scheme to confuse voters by phone-harassing them in their opponents' names isn't national headline news by close of business today I don't know what I'll do. I'm hopeful, because it's currently burning up the center-and-left-o-sphere, mere hours after sparking; I am up past bedtime following it. (Tip-off from temvald via firbolg.)

Goddamn liars. The time for subtlety is running out, so now they've turned to jaw-droppingly direct and crude tactics like this. Smooth. But just because it's stupid doesn't mean we can ignore it.

Was the "mistimed" Saddam sentencing actually perfectly-timed chaff to throw up so they could pull shit like this and hope the media'd miss it? Christ. I can't imagine what's next.

In the articles, both parties admit to robodialing, but only the R's have misleading robodials which appear to come from the D candidate.
