Typical Republican Tactics 2: Make enough claims and maybe some will stick
Ah the desperate GOP is at it again. They cannot win on the issues so they have to win by using smear tactics.
The GOP is going to file a campaign finance complaint against Obama for exceeding federal limits and receiving donations from foreigners even though they have no proof he has accepted funds from foreigners.
Sarah Palin says that Obama is “palling around” with terrorists but never said the name of the terrorist (even though she was referring to Ayers). Now, why not say the Ayers name? Well obviously because if you leave the name out the people might think that you are talking about Islamic terrorists. And, of course, there is the small tidbit that Obama and Ayers are not “palling around”. But Palin won’t let the facts get in the way of her attacks against Obama.
How many more false statements will the McCain/Palin campaign (and the GOP) have to make before people view them as the little boy who cried wolf?

And the likely reason that they are trying to make the FEC complaint would be so that if a claim sticks and they start an investigation, they could run an ad saying “Barack Obama is under investigation for illegal campaign donations”.
Of course, it would be EASY for someone to discredit another candidate by making “illegal campaign donations” and not have them stick to that person. Basically, person A making a campaign donation to person B in the name of fake person C with no way to track it back to A.
