Some central Iowa voters said a voicemail message on behalf of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign has gone too far.
The automated messages, also known as robocalls, have been ringing phones in Iowa homes since the last presidential debate. The message talks about a relationship between Sen. Barack Obama and '60s radical Bill Ayers....
"It was vicious," said independent voter Marilyn Greene. "It was a hateful, vicious message."
She said there's too much on the line in this election for candidates to stoop to this level.
"Stick to the issues," she said. "What can you do? What are you looking toward?"
"That's clearly a misrepresentation and it's brazen and outrageous," said Tina Fisher, who also got one of the phone calls. "This, to me, suggests total loss of control and, quite frankly, seems a little desperate."
Fisher said she felt the calls go against the message McCain has tried to send out on the campaign trail, especially during an appearance last week.
"When that gentleman said he was scared of Barack Obama, McCain said you have nothing to fear," Fisher said.
"He's a decent, family man, a citizen," McCain said to another supporter about Obama. "I just happen to have disagreements with him on fundamental issues."
A spokesman for the Iowa Republican Party said he was unaware of the messages. The McCain campaign did not return Newschannel 8's phone calls.

Perhaps someone should dig up the last dust bunny on Marilyn Green; Joe the Plumber's cavity search by the 12th Imam's press harem has established the precedent.
Obama has a more than passing alliance with an unrepentant domestic terrorist, and McCain is the vicious one for calling attention to it?
Was her ear glued to the phone receiver? If I get a call I find distasteful I hang up.
hmmm...Marilyn Green.....hmmmm.
"Independent Voter" my a$$.
The calls tell the truth.
For goodness sakes if I complained about every automated call I get I would get little else done. Is she too stupid to hang up!
“She said there’s too much on the line in this election for candidates to stoop to this level.
“Stick to the issues,” she said.”
I would say that a candidate who is associated with anti-American terrorists is a HUGE issue.
