Nasty Anti-Obama Push Poll Launched In Ohio

September 11, 2008 09:38 AM




Two individuals in Ohio have described an identical push poll being conducted in their home state that presents Barack Obama as a quasi-radical leftist, uses inflammatory quotes from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and offers risible interpretations of the Senator's policies on everything from sex education to abortion.

The poll -- conducted by the Long Island-based Opinion Access Corporation, a telephone survey firm -- represents, perhaps, the most negative messaging yet to be witnessed this campaign cycle.

A reader named Rachel from Strongsville, Ohio alerted the Huffington Post to the calls on Wednesday. Later that afternoon, Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic received a similar email from a reader named Jared in Columbus, Ohio. Both recipients of the push poll described the experience in nearly identical terms. Wrote Rachel:

I received an incredibly offensive, anti-Obama push-poll tonight from 'Opinion Access Corporation.' When I said that I was voting for Obama, they asked if I would be more or less likely to vote for Obama if I knew that he voted to let convicted child sex offenders out early, voted to allow convicted child sex offenders to live near schools, is for sex education in Kindergarten, voted for some offensive and incredibly graphic abortion procedure, and so on and so on for 5 minutes. This was a really offensive push-poll. They also brought up the statements of Rev. Wright and Michelle Obama."

I spoke with an Hispanic radio DJ yesterday that was alarmed that the pukes were hosting a "summit" at World Harvest Church in hopes of delivering the vote for McCain. I wonder if they will target this community as well.

2. DUers assumed that Hillary would be much worse than mccasket would be on this stuff.

The gop is just getting warmed up.

3. Now that there have been a lot of quotes by reputable papers and organizations, the Obama campaign

needs to run ads saying that the McCain campaign is running a lying, deceitful, sleazy and dishonorable campaign. They can quote a ton of people on this. That would be a good way to combat this crap. Warn people that you can't believe what the McCain campaign and Republicans are putting out there according to unbiased sources, not just because the Obama campaign says it.

Make a point that the McCain campaign is a lying sack of crap.

"

We continue to be a leader in the industry, constantly refining our techniques and reinvesting in the latest technology.

OAC is 100% CATI and predictive dialing utilizing state-of-the-art remote monitoring.

5. This is basically the equivalent to the push-polling that Rove did to McCain

that led to rumors of McCain's "black love child." It's too bad that push-polling can't be controlled because the criminals and bigots are like cockroaches and will find ways around any regulation of unsavory practices like this one.
