He successfully employed this tactic against John McCain in the Republican Primaries with the "black love child" campaign.

Think; "Some people say......"

All of the sudden every soldier that has ever served in Afghanistan knows all about Bowe Bergdahl, and he is the biggest rat since Benedict Arnold.............

Right.

Veterans, you know the military rumor mill and what a pain in the ass it can be. Are you buying all of this?

And the one against Bergdahl is in full swing. People are swinging 180 degrees from positions the held before his release. Example McCain was in favor before Obama did it, I guess much of this works because of short attention spans. Well sorry Karl baby because I have a memory like an elephant. Florence just looks at me and shakes her head when I happen to mention something we did back when we were getting our lives together started. To me it is like yesterday.
