don't know, since you don't quote what they actually said, instead you reverted to the soft and fuzzy allegation they "essentially blame" mcginn. that's a characterization, not a quote. you then conclude it's a whopper. but if something essentially blames, then in fact, it's not blaming, right, so it can't be a whopper, which would relate to an assertion, not essentially asserting. but we just don't know, since you don't quote the ad complained of.

It's clear: Mike McGinn is personally beating the women of Seattle with his own two fists.

Value judgements on the concept of manipulation is next to nil. The concept is so prevalent in practically every single thing written about politics, it has lost nearly every bit of its meaning when it coincides with any news media.

Just the thought of Tim Ceis once again roaming the 7th floor ought to give serious pause to folks contemplating voting for Murray. This ad is just a modest hint of the kind of take-no-prisoners and lock-out-the opposition politics favored by Ceis.

Won't bed the first person controlled by the ethics of his henchman. I'm getting more pessimistic by the day about the coming Murray dynasty.

@4 Pretty ironic that this is the main accusation they've made against McGinn...

I look forward to hearing this addressed at the next debate this Tuesday night at 7:00 pm. That will be a very interesting exchange.

Ed Murray is not very bright, and he's really just a puppet. He's reminding me more and more of George W Bush every day.

@8 Well, he does claim to be a uniter, not a divider. The classic argument Bush made against Gore in 2000.

Mike McGinn supported the police of Seattle who wanted license to beat brown people with impunity. Ed Murray may be a much more conniving politician, but c'mon, are either of them clean?

There's a reason the Seattle Police Guild endorsed Ed Murray.

Just the mention of Tim Ceis makes one's blood run cold. All we need in this town is the Shark back again.

The bearded douche, one and done. I don't like Murray, but sent two votes his way.

where the hell is ED MURRAY?

running on FEAR is so bad for the city. BAD. BAD. BAD.

i was hoping to like him but have found him in person to be vague & actually mean in a VERY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE way..... these ads piss me off.

And still the majority of Seattlites don't want any more McGinn. It really doesn't say much about Murray but says volumes about what the voters think about McGinn.

And absentee ballots have been arriving this weekend. Voting is happening right now

What's interesting is the Stranger had advocated "their" candidates to use the very tactics that Murray is using right now to win elections. Wasn't it Dan who said that if our side is going to win we need to have the balls to do anything to win. It may have been Josh or Erica.

KUOW reported the main contributor to the PAC that did this ad against McGinn was the Seattle Fire Fighters. Do I misremember, or wasn't it Fire Fighters who did that "Mallahan Can" video?

No one minded Ceis when McGinn hired him to shill for the Hansen arena.

Gosh, just what has McGinn said that mislead voters?

Oh yeah, the whole I wont block the tunnel promise, only to do an about face a month into office. And dont forget the claim that the SPD Federal lawsuit would cost 50 million a year, when it was really 5 million. And the ever popular threat issued to Occupy Wall Street leftovers, that the city wouldn't tolerate vandalism, only to watch exactly that erupt downtown that day.
