Let’s Help Barack Fight the “Smears”

This is precious. Barack is in a snit over so-called smears. (Deb, thanks for the tip.) Karen Tumulty writes in Time Magazine:

According to campaign officials, what finally launched Obama into a full rumor counteroffensive was a story that apparently first made a big splash on the Internet in late May in a post by pro-Hillary Clinton blogger Larry Johnson. Quoting “someone in touch with a senior Republican,” Johnson claimed that there was a video of Michelle Obama “blasting ‘whitey’ during a rant at Jeremiah Wright’s church.” (Later versions of the rumor had Michelle’s “rant” happening at a Rainbow/push Coalition conference.) No such videotape has surfaced.

Now, are you ready for the shocker? Look at the next paragraph of Karen’s piece:

When the Obama campaign got wind of the rumor in April, Michelle’s close friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett asked Michelle if there could be anything to it; the candidate’s wife dismissed it out of hand.

I did not hear about the tape until MAY. REPEAT. I DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THE TAPE UNTIL MAY. Yet, the Obama campaign knew about the tape in April. Got it? And I am the one responsible for the so called rumor?

Au contraire. What is really fascinating is that the Obama campaign continues to issue a non-denial denial. They are fighting so-called smears, but not challenging the very facts that underlie the charges.

There is a recording of Michelle Obama using a racial slur about white people. I have not seen the tape but I am certain that the people who have told my sources they have seen such a tape are telling the truth. What is really interesting is that the Obama folks knew about this long before I did.

And you know what else? One of my sources told me last week that the Obama camp knew about the tape. So the Obamas have confirmed what one of my sources about the existence of the tape has told me.

I am happy to take credit for being the one who has put the Obama campaign on edge. But it looks like they themselves knew there was a problem.

Obama = Hitler

Axelrod = Goebbels

Comment by gqmartinez | 2008-06-12 08:33:54

Not sure if you are a regular poster, but if so you don’t help the case against Obama by comparing Obama to someone who tried to exterminate an entire ethnic group. There is no need to resort to absurdity when there is already much to work with.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 08:36:53

Not that I agree with Bella’s sentiment, but given Obama’s friends, such as Farrakhan, and Odinga, I’m not too sure she misses the mark.

Comment by Bella | 2008-06-12 08:38:09

Yep, Farrakhan “Hitler was a great man.”

Birds of a feather!

Comment by Dawnelle | 2008-06-12 10:02:36

Did he really say that???

We should find a link and keep reminding these cultists of that fact. I know MOST good Democrats do NOT like anti-semitic hate talk any more than they like racist talk.

Although it seems Democrats promote and prefer slandering women.

Keith O being the worst on msnbc and Cafferty his equal on cnn

fox is pretty much run by women lately so there’s not too much of it over there

I like Megan and the rest of the other women over there. They are NOT the bimbos that the LEFT had brainwashed me into believing.

NO MORE BRAINWASHING

Comment by Bella | 2008-06-12 13:58:11

He did, he also said Judaism is a gutter religion.

You can Google it, I can’t ever get links to go thru on here for some reason.

Comment by truthtelling007 | 2008-06-12 15:59:30

To be in full context, what Farrakhan said was: “In the realm of evil and wickedness Adolph Hitler was a great man”

From Final Call:

“…So I said to the members of the press, “Why won’t you go and look into what we are saying about the threats on Reverend Jackson’s life?’ Here the Jews don’t like Farrakhan and so they call me ‘Hitler.’ Well that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn’t great for me as a Black man but he was a great German and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of all of Europe and America after the first world war. Yet Hitler took Germany from the ashes and rose her up and made her the greatest fighting machine of the twentieth century, brothers and sisters, and even though Europe and America had deciphered the code that Hitler was using to speak to his chief[s] of staff, they still had trouble defeating Hitler even after knowing his plans in advance. Now I’m not proud of Hitler’s evil toward Jewish people, but that’s a matter of record. He rose Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you could say there is a similarity in that we are rising our people up from nothing, but don’t compare me with your wicked killers.”

To all my best research, there is no record of Farrakhan calling Judaism a “gutter religion”. I know that a local radio host has put $10,000 on the table for anyone who can find evidence Farrakhan ever this.

To me that doesn’t discount Farrakhan’s comments as anything less than anti-semetic, but I’m a stickler for footnotes and actualities.

And I’m patient for a tape to come out. It has more power hidden than revealed, especially if it actually exists. Let people fester and stew on their myths until you show them the evidence. It would hurt all the more.

If I’ve learned anything about politics this last year, its all about timing.

Comment by Raven | 2008-06-18 23:14:37

Many years ago, I watched a speech on television by Farrakhan, and I heard him say that Judaism is a gutter religion. He was saying that in the context of criticizing the Jews for not having a tradition of forgiveness.

Comment by David Axisrutt | 2008-06-12 11:11:17

Oh bugger off you troll. Your candidate does what he wants and the parent is merely expressing something that’s painfully obvious to anyone with a brain and the conceited idea it can be used for thinking.

Comparing Obama to Hitler is perfectly appropriate as Obama is a demagogue and despot.

Comparing Herr Axelrod to Josef Göbbels is perfectly appropriate as Axelrod is the incarnation of Göbbels in the television and Internet age. In fact I am sure Josef Göbbels would smile in admiration of the satanic work of Herr David Axelrod.

Myself I don’t like comparing Axelrod to Göbbels too much. Personally I find him more like Saruman or something equally evil. But that’s only different strokes for different folks.

Next time around we’ll find something to compare you O-teens to. Bye.

Comment by No to B.O.= Body Odor & B. Obama | 2008-06-12 13:24:43

Uhmmm - anyone read Mein Kampf or Obama’s books? I think the comparison may well fit - both extreme racialists and same campaign/overthrow style of bully and submission. Hitler blames the Jews, Obama’s book and beliefs of Black Liberation Theology blames all white people (and Nation of Islam also blames the Jews). Man - haven’t these people ever heard of self-responsibility?

You Obamabots are dumber than a sack of hammers, that I know for sure, lol. Ok, so you want to use the anti-smear Obamabots website to try and counter truths, fine by me. I will also use YOUR OWN WEBSITE to counter your BS, all the while using your mail servers, lol. Thank your leader for me will ya, lol.

Ok, here is the step by step procedure to use the Obamabot website to send out free emails to counter their BS, lol.

Step 1
Go to : http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/notape

Step 2
Where it asks for your email, put in ANY email you wish, maybe even something like ” Obama@liar.com “, be creative, lol.

Step 3
Where it asks for your name , put in ANY name you wish, maybe even something like ” Michelle Obama”, lol.

Step 4

Where you see the BS message, highlight and DELETE the message and insert your own message, perhaps even a link back to here, lol.

Step 5
Where is says TO, well just fill in up to 10 email addresses where you want the email to go to, perhaps even send it back to the Obamabot’s, lol.

There ya go, an easy way to use the Obamabots own STUPID website to counter their BS, oh so much fun, lol.

Thank you for bringing that to light again.

What is it with the American public and the press that they look the other way? It is very clear that Obama has or still has questionable, hateful friends. I say “birds of a feather flock together.”

Is the press run by Muslim terrorist organizations who are determined to crown this guy as Prince of America? Does anybody pay attention to what is going on? The press is the danger here. They feed the masses all kind of BS and the masses eat it up. We have got to do something guys.

Comment by David Axisrutt | 2008-06-12 11:32:53

Is the press run by Muslim terrorist organizations who are determined to crown this guy as Prince of America?

No. Of course not. The media are run by powerful corporate interests who would prefer anybody to a Hillary and the more they think about it would actually love a demagogue in a cheap suit like Obama. Then they could really bamboozle people!

It’s called fascism, folks. And it’s finally inevitably come to roost in the United States.

There were people opposed to Hitler who didn’t end up in the concentration camps but history teaches us they had a really tough time convincing the morons Hitler was a danger.

Back in 1935 people were excited and positive about Hitler the way the goons are excited about Barry today. Back in 1935 those who opposed Hitler were not only abused, harassed, murdered - they were considered to be WRONG.

Then time went on, the thinkers were proven right, perhaps a hundred million people were killed or wounded, an entire continent was laid to waste - and gee whiz said the morons to themselves. I guess we were wrong after all. Aw shucks! But it admittedly was a close call! Hey - who could have possibly known?

So you keep it up, you weeny wusses. You keep it up. But people will survive the holocaust you create and this time they will point the finger. This time you shall take the blame.

Comment by Mandelay | 2008-06-12 11:51:10

I am interpreting your remarks as a comparison of the Nazi Propaganda Machine and the Obama Propaganda Machine. And I think you have made a valid point. However, the Nazis are remembered more for mass murder than for the sophistication of their propaganda and the comparison you’ve made sounds absurd because most of us think of 6 million murdered Jews and millions of others murdered as well. So, I get it, but I think it’s over the top to bring up Hitler and Goebbels. That said, witness this mornings’s editorials in the Palm Beach Post … first is an editorial on “why” it was a good thing Obama got rid of Johnson. Under that is an editorial on why the media did not cause Hillary to lose. Outrageous propaganda in a mainstream newspaper. And ironic that this paper, which is so pro-Obama even their letters to the editor are selected for their “endorsements” of the candidate — this paper still feels it needs to attack Clinton, even after she’s left the race, in an editorial! It’s as if they’re admitting that Obama cannot win unless energy is focused on hating Clinton. Of course, opposite these editorials is yet another generous helping of Maureen Dowd, talking about Bill and Hillary’s “enemies list,” which to minds with memories of the 70s (the Hillary vote so coveted by Obama), puts the Clintons in league with Nixon. So, Bella, on second thought, I think Goebbels would be so proud of the Obama media consortium. And Hitler would have no complaints, except that Obama doesn’t have blue eyes, blond hair and whiter than white skin. Well, it’s not a perfect world is it, Adolf? Still Herr Hitler, your legacy is intact — hate has definitely been the ultimate weapon of the Obama campaign. And their blitzkrieg goes on…!

Comment by Anonym | 2008-06-12 15:36:48

Take a good look at Axelrod. He is the one God made to look like Hitler, right down to the moustache and hairline. Obama however is the screamer and angry hater who is the inspirer of Hitlerian racism. Axelrod may be Hitler’s face but Obama is his voice.

As for Obama, what does God have to say about him?

Hussein - “house in” emergency: foreclosure crisis

Sub-loan crisis = sub-due emergency = submit emergency (Arabic translation for the word “submission”, subduing is “islam”)

The “can” man from “Kansas” is the “ken” man (Hebrew translation for the word “submission, subduing” = Arabic word “islam”)

The Hussein crisis, like many others, is a sign from God, not about the war in Iraq, but about O-bomb-A.

Exactly, “co-opt our blogs and harass us.” There are people saying things on this blog that I know they wouldn’t say. They’re being impersonated just to paint them and this site as ignorant racists.

 

Comment by ROFL | 2008-06-13 04:14:54

This is truly hilarious reading. Obamabots? Hitler? Someone says “and these are your fellow dems?” You’re my fellow dems? You people keep this up and come November you can just salute your new Republican President. Won’t that make Senator Clinton and the rest of the democrats proud?
If anyone seems to be following blindly it is the Clinton supporters and their Obama bashing on blogs everywhere is eerily similiar to the garbage you’re spouting here but you don’t hijack blogs with nasty comments right? You don’t believe wholeheartedly in your candidate (who by the way is now a fellow Obamabot, she’s been cleverly assimulated!) that you feel the need to defend her when you feel as though she’s been slandered. No, you wouldn’t do THAT! The evil media is so gender biased. I’m sure 6 months ago when they were touting Senator Clinton (notice the respect I’m granting her despite her many proven lies?) as the Democratic candidate they MUST have assumed she was in drag…
I do my research and I know the candidate I’m backing is the right person for the job. I’m not being told who to vote for or what to believe, I’ve seen for myself the lies that have been shot down time and time again. Nothing that’s been thrown at him has stuck, just a lot of IF it exists, IF it’s true, IF, IF, IF…(funny comment about not having video way back in 2004 btw, but I can find a rare song from 1987 on Youtube…)
Seriously and you’re calling us bots? Do you people read the stuff you write?
No doubt you’ll all jump all over this like a pack of hyenas but I won’t be back. I have 200 more blogs to hijack before bedtime. PFFT! All I can say is if President McCain still has us in Iraq in 2006, and our vets who come home have nothing to come back to, don’t come crying to us.

Game over indeed in a few months when your candidate and his minions (and that includes you) will realize what this means: B.O.W.L. Big Time in November!* The only question now is by how many? Will it be like Carter vs. Reagan in ‘80 (a possibility)? Or Mondale vs. Reagan in ‘84? (very likely)? Or Kerry vs. Bush in ‘04 (and this is the best case scenario already for Team Obama). No matter who they select as his running mate, the people will not be bamboozled. Kerry’s Swiftboating is nothing compared to what the bogus candidate of change will receive - and this time around, he deserves every damn hit! Hell hath no fury…and we’re just starting! Tadah!

I think you should change your sentence “There is a recording of Michelle Obama using a racial slur about white people.”

As you haven’t seen the tape yourself, you can’t be 100% certain that it exists. You should use a line like “I strongly believe that such a tape exists.”

 

Comment by SJ | 2008-06-12 08:36:32

Ein reich, ein volk undt ein fuhrer!

Comment by Mirlo | 2008-06-12 09:12:21

you cite one of Hitler’s proclamation:

ein Reich - one empire
ein Volk - one people
ein Führer - one leader

it’s the same with all fascist regimes, left or right. Those who don’t follow will be persecuted and distroyed.

Let’s take a look at a few early warning signs of fascism:

- fraudulent elections (DNC)
- rampant cronyism ad corruption (Rezko, Ayers etc)
- disdain for the intellectual and the arts
- labor power suppressed (bluecollarworkers?)
- controlled mass media (or being their “pet”?)
- rampant sexism (or misogyny)
- disdain for human rights (bullying at caucuses,

I never doubted you knew whom you quoted, but your spelling was a little off, so I allowed myself to translate. Anyway, not everybody might be as informed as you are, especially since those oposing Obama are supposed to be intellectually less gifted.(!!!) Didn’t mean to offend you though, sorry.

You know, every politician today would fit in that using your twisted logic.
Maybe we should just give up on the political system then…

Just gotta love the stupid GOPers who say a fascist can have views on the left of the political spectrum. Just totally denying the definition of fascism. If you’re going to slur someone on the internets, at least look the word up first.

Comment by Anonym | 2008-06-12 15:52:49

Excellent list.

Here’s one for detecting cult leaders:

1. Demands total obedience to the cult leader
2. Persecutes and tries to silence any critic of the cult leader
3. Asks for followers’ money, even when the cult leader has enough
4. Separates people from their family or friends or alliances by attacking anyone of them who criticizes the cult leader
5. Creates a new cult made up of recycled symbols
6. Steals the words and ideas from real messengers of God and other people and recycles and pretend they are the cult leader’s
7. Promises change and always delivers it - for the worst for the followers who get to experience, always, a financial loss of all their assets, while the cult leader becomes rich for mouthing simple slogans
8. Separates followers from non-followers by using paranoia and hate of those who don’t agree with the cult leader
9. Demands his followers “change their beliefs” - or as Obama recycles that as “change we can believe in”

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-13 09:29:32

wow, thanks for the great post.

I really a good thing Hillary didn’t win the primary and McCain won’t win the general. We don’t need a cult leader as president.

Comparing Obama to Hilter is an isult to the people who actually lived under his oppresive regime and had their families murdered en masse by his henchmen.

You people never cease to amaze me with your disgusting disrepect for history. And facts. And logic. And general common sense.

 
 
 

Comment by LeniTee | 2008-06-12 08:38:57

We are hearing that Obama refuses to release his birth certificate. What is he hiding? His birthplace? His supposed status as a natural born citizen of the United States? When American citizens apply for a job, we often have to produce our birth certificate, SS, or 2 forms of I.D. This man wants to rule us as President. People, rise up and DEMAND this man release this crucial information!

I read somewhere where his mom gave birth to him when she was 16 and whisked him back to the U.S.

Either he was born in Africa to a teenage girl, and/or his real name is Barry Soretos (sp) and he changed it.

It really doesn’t surprise me that Hillary/McCain supporters really believe that noone has confirmed that Obama is a natural born citizen of the USA. The desperation and hate that comes from either your candidate loosing in the primary or realizing that McCain will loose the general is overwhelming.

“Hillary lost in the primary so I’m going to vote for McCain = I believe in the right of a woman to choose but I’m such a sore looser that I’m going to vote for someone who will appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will overturn Roe Vs Wade”. - Brilliant!

Comment by MaryPat | 2008-06-12 13:13:53

You need some new talking points. Yawn. Time to check in with Barry’s people and get your Kool-Aid topped off.

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-12 13:47:42

Now that’s irony. responding to my post with the tired “you need new talking points” and the Kool-Aid remark. Very original yourself.

How about this. Instead of posting insults, how about some facts backing up statments. that would better suit the discussion, don’t you think?

Comment by MaryPat | 2008-06-12 23:47:22

Here’s an insult for you–you’re a sanctimonious twit.

You throw out the old “pot calling the kettle black” cliche, and then have the nerve to call ME unoriginal? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black…

The Roe argument is SO yesterday. It didn’t have any traction when you ‘bots were instructed to start using it after the DNC selected Barry, and it still doesn’t. You DO need a new argument. Problem is, you don’t have one.

BTW, “lose,” not “loose.” And “internets?” Who are you, George W. Bush? Where do you get off talking down to me?

Shouldn’t you be out looking for a summer job? Or will you be selling your video games to pay for next year’s tuition?

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-13 09:53:50

assumptions, assumptions…

Yes, the “internets” misspelling is a jab at GW, not you.

It’s sad you think the Roe “argument” is not relevant. I happen to know many, many women who think it is.

Speaking of talking points:
-not all people who dislike Hillary are teenagers, get a clue. Here’s a huge surprise for you, I’m 36. I don’t need a summer job as I have a full time job.

-isn’t the line regarding the summer job and video games a little tired and cliche? You didn’t even say one thing regaring political arguments and you have the impudence to say I need a new one.
This is the problem with people like you; blindly supporting a candidate without knowing why, or at least without the ability to debate said candidate. All you do is put down other candidates.
Just throw out your lame insults and assumptions. Way to improve/add to the discourse. But what else should I expect from a Hillary/McCain supporter.

wtf: the supreme court already has enough judges who can overturn Roe v. Wade if they wish. So far, nothing happening. Please stop threatening women voters with a DNC talking point that is used by the DNC like a leash around our necks. We are a free gender and can make our own choices.

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-12 12:49:02

Smart…

Then go ahead and vote for a guy who will put even more of those justices on the bench. We won’t be a free gender much longer with that train of thought.

Oh, and it wasn’t a threat, just pointing out something you may not want to think about or are uncapable of thinking about.

Typical, anything said against McCain or Hillary is a threat, not information…

Comment by Chelsea Patriot | 2008-06-12 10:51:37

Channel-7, The Chicago ABC affiliate, employed the Journalists who acted as Moderators at Jesse Jackson’s PUSH-Rainbow Power 25th Anniversary event in 2004.

Channel 7 has footage of the event with Michelle spoke.

Channnel 7 is refusing to release this footage, unless they are subpeoned to do so!

If this is not a Journalistic derelection of duty, What is?

There are probably dozens of tapes with Obamarosa ranting and raving about “Whitey”. I imagine she does little else in private.

 
 

Comment by DianeJ | 2008-06-12 08:46:29

Gosh, Oh gosh. The Obama camp got wind of the rumor in APRIL and Larry did not hear about it till MAY. I know……..Obama is psychic, after all, he is the blessed one, is he not?

BTW is there room under the Obama clown bus for Gadhafi? Gadhaif just realized he does not really know Obama and is disappointed in him.

I had to actually laugh at a story I read on the Foxnews.com website today. Apparently Gadhafi is disappointed with Obama and learning that none of us know the real Obama! Gadhafi said,” We expected his change to mean that he will stand beside the Palestinian people, the besieged and the victims of injustice,” Gadhafi said, referring to Obama as “our brother, the Kenyan with American nationality.” MAYBE GADHAFI SHOULD RESERVE HIS SEAT UNDER THE BUS.

Comment by Mel | 2008-06-12 08:50:49

They knew about the tape, because I believe it’s going to be shown in the new anti-Obama documentary coming out this fall.

David Bossie, a huge Clinton hater who also did a doc on her, Hillary - The Movie, said he would vote for Hillary over Obama HANDS DOWN any day of the week.

Not even the brown shirts can stop this video from coming out!

Comment by stodghie | 2008-06-12 10:47:53

Comment by alee21 | 2008-06-12 08:48:39

We certainly don’t have to rely on the whitey tape being released to be concerned about Obama as a Presidential nominee:

1. many flip-flops (too numerous to mention)
2. lack of judgement
3. long-term and intimate associations with radicals and criminals
4. lack of experience in legislature
5. divisiveness
6. promotion of thug-like tactics
7. promotion of Clinton smears (MLK, RFK remarks)
8. ignorance in domestic, foreign and economic policies

In sum, lack of core values and qualifications we need in a President of the US.

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-12 09:58:04

Agree completely.

Although I believe Larry that the tape exists and that what I’ve seen of Michelle makes her comments on that tape QUITE possible….

I don’t need the tape to know I can’t vote for Obama.

The man is a product of the Chicago political machine, with little true experience and loads of unsavory associations to claw his way to the top.

The Michelle tape is just icing on the cake.

 
 

Comment by SJ | 2008-06-12 08:48:40

Surprisingly has anyone noticed there is no word on the birth certificate smear on his site. Like they forgot to give us the truth on the birth paper deal, all he had to do was put a copy of it on there under the heading truth, show us and stop all the chatter.

Maybe someone needs to write Obama and let him know that another smear is the birth certificate then he will publish it for us to debunk what is being said, while he is at it there are other missing links he needs to fill out also, seem like his new site is a bit incomplete.

Comment by Caya | 2008-06-12 08:53:10

the Time article does address this - they say he will be posting a pdf of his BC. I think too little, too late. Why should we believe anything at this point? A PDF!

Comment by It's Not Me | 2008-06-12 09:22:07

A PDF????? Oh boy! A Mail Order Birth Certificate!

 

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 09:28:35

Well, then nothing will convince you. What do you expect? Him to send his actual BC to you?

Come on….that’s silly talk.

Comment by Caya | 2008-06-12 09:36:39

LOL, of course I don’t expect him to send it to me. i just think it is very convenient to produce digital proof of documentation. This issue has been circulating for a while now (a few months at least) and I wonder with everything else that is being questioned why he didn’t address it immediately. i mean come on, his school records were eaten by BUGS! it’s all very stinky.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 10:03:05

If he’s linking it to his site, that’s pretty good. I see the point about digital, but gosh, aren’t we getting a bit demanding? He had to produce his BC for a passport.

There’s yet another issue about a Kenyan bc that states he’s Muslim. Frankly, I find stuff like this a bit off-putting.

I’m just moderate, I guess. I’m not into sweating the small stuff.

Comment by ginaswo still says no to Uhhbama | 2008-06-12 13:42:40

I think the issue perhaps is he CO-OPTS Secty of States to do his dirty work for him in counting votes, dead votes, like Katherine Harris in 2000 for Dubyah, so why not for vital records purposes?

come on why wouldnt he have shut this down long ago..

I think his birth name isnt barack hussein, I think he changed to that lata to put off the Muslim “smears” by claiming it for himself, I think it would embarrass him to be known as Barry Harold Obama…

or perhaps this is the straw man argument to knock down and use as an example of “smears” like the NATIONAL GUARD dan rather story…..

 

Comment by cowgirlblues | 2008-06-13 01:49:25

Do you suppose that is what the republicans were looking for when they peeked into his passport record?????? Can you think of a better way to humiliate the democratic party than to have a presidential nominee who is an illegal???

 
 

Comment by stodghie | 2008-06-12 10:50:29

wouldn’t he have to have it for a number of things like passports, mortgages, insurance? it isn’t that hard here. question though just where was he born? sure i think his american mother is his mother, but i get the feeling there is more there there.

 
 

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-12 10:26:30

This is why I think we should request a copy of the 1961 official form used by the state of Hawaii. That will tell us what he’s trying to whitewash.

Obama and his campaign know what we want: to see his original birth certificate document.

Not a digital 21st century clone.

 
 
 
 

Comment by katmandu | 2008-06-12 08:50:46

Texas Darlin had a list of missing documents we’d like to see, including:

1. Birth certificate — read the Internet…There is a growing buzz about your reported refusal to release it. Put these silly rumors to rest, and publish immediately!

2. College records. It’s said that you refuse to release them, especially those from Columbia. Surely this must be inaccurate information. Please provide them right away in order to quash these pesky allegations!

3. State Senate records. Now this one is really ridiculous. Can you believe that some of your detractors are claiming that you are hiding records from your work as an Illinois State Senator? You must make a big to-do about publishing these public records; perhaps a highly promoted speech or press conference would do the trick.

4. Medical records. Is it true that you refuse to provide your medical records? Oh, this does not go over well with the American public because they will assume that you are hiding something important about your mental or physical well-being. These must be disclosed immediately!

5. Passport. Believe it or not, I have read on the Internet that you don’t want anyone to see your old passports. Surely you must realize that this, once again, looks like you’re hiding something. Were there places you visited that you wish to keep secret? Gosh, I hope not because this kind of thing will easily be uncovered by the 527s. Yikes, better get the info out in the public domain pronto!

So if Obama staff is scouring this site, please, we’d like to see some of this stuff.

By the way, these Hitler references (probably planted by pro-Obama people) have no place in civilized discourse. That is not what this site is about. It is about fair debate about both candidates’ inadequacies, as Larry said yesterday.

I have to agree with Bella on this, I think there is cause for concern.

Listen to Farrakhan, look at whom Obama associates himself with, it’s brutal, and it’s not just some kooky Middle Eastern and African guys, spewing.

Auchi, and Wright, Hamas, anyone?

Odinga has shown he is capable of genocide, too, Obama, and Morris, seem to feel this is no problem.

Which doesn’t mean he is actively advocating the murder of Jews, but he doesn’t seem appalled, either, doesn’t seem to understand what he’s seeing, and the level of batshit crazy he is dealing with.

Have you seen McCain’s birth certificate?
The state department has all this records (Remember the leak in April). It is a CONSTITUTIONAL matter, no one will be allowed to contest for the presidency (or even Senate) without being cleared of this.

You really are all sick. Why not stick to the issues. Nothing wrong in disagreement based on issues. Its really not about the candidate. Maybe personal counseling will resolve some issues.

You were shamed that a tape doesnt exist (he called the bluff) and you shameless move on to the birth certificate.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 09:12:49

Analysis is your friend, take a course in literature, say, from a top flight humanities teacher, and learn to understand what you read.

Ancient propaganda technique is not your friend.

They simply DO NOT have the intellectual capacity to understand what they see, understand the implications of what they see.

And those are the idiots who start wars in the middle east — “what could happen, we have the guns!!!”

lol.

 

Comment by ulahane | 2008-06-12 09:13:30

J. Richter, Larry has not been shamed by “a tape doesnt [sic] exist.” Until it is either shown or fails to appear by election day, the tape is unproven. Remember, Obama initially “called the bluff” on Goolsbee’s Canadian meeting and was caught lying.

Comment by Marty | 2008-06-12 17:47:00

What about the tape of McCain using the word “gooks”? I’m inclined to treat that in the same way as the “Whitey” tape - doesn’t exist until someone proves otherwise. Frankly, in the age of YouTube, if something nasty’s out there it will be on YouTube immediately. And, given all the exposure this tape has had, someone who was there would have tried to seek a few $ for the inside scoop. Maybe they did and they produced evidence like: “a friend of a friend was there. Wow did Michelle rant”.

 
 

Comment by Dave_Not_For_Obama | 2008-06-12 09:42:38

“Its really not about the candidate.”

Who are you trying to kid, it’s all about the candidate, lol.

“You were shamed that a tape doesnt exist (he called the bluff) and you shameless move on to the birth certificate.”

I don’t see or feel any “shame” on this blog, you are trying to project your own thought, very badly I must say, lol. I have yet to see Michelle and/or Obama 100% deny on public record the existence of said “whitey tape”. All I see is some non-denial and a BS website that purports to squash a “rumor” without Michelle and/or Obama denying 100% on public record. As for the birth certificate, well that’s just another in a long list of things Obama wants to keep under wraps, lol. So stop crying me a river, instead tell your leader Obama to get his head out of his azz and start producing what the PUBLIC is asking for, unless he has something to hide of course, lol.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 09:31:50

I disagree respectfully. I see signs of control. That’s different.

He blocked the press a lot during the primary. They practically had to demand he answer questions about Rezko. He never talked with his travelling press corps and was described repeatedly as “aloof.”

What that DID tell me is that he is a bullshitter. Transparency in government?

Baloney. He’ll block whenever possible.

Hillary, by contrast, allowed the press to participate on strategy calls even.

She was the one who truly was open. It cost her some bad publicity. But it gained our trust in the end.

But then, *sigh*, she was the real deal. He’s just another phony politician, except he happens to be tan.

Add Baptismal Certificate to that list.

If Barky is a Christian, he should be able to produce a Baptismal Certificate.

Particullarly, since he would have had to have been baptised as an adult, as his athestic, Communist, sexually promiscuious teen mother, obviously, never stepped into a church.

But the Bastard has never claimed that Rev. Wright baptised him, only his daughters. So, if Rev. Goddamn America didn’t baptise him, who did?
When the questions arise about Pink-o’s religion, I’ve wondered why does he produce his baptismal certificate.

Barack Obama is a Fraud

Some TOOL with the tag Justice just asked “US” to drop the censorship! WTF!
Funny, their insults aren’t working so now we are being accused of “Censorship”. I do believe he meant to post that over at those “OTHER” blogs. Censorship is the last thing we do here!

Comment by Dave_Not_For_Obama | 2008-06-12 09:49:59

Exactly,this blog is one of a few on the internet that DOES NOT CENSOR posts, unlike so many others that will censor ANYTHING that is not favorable to Obama. The Obamabots can’t in good conscience make such a claim about censorship here , after all we do see their posts, so whom is kidding whom, lol.

As for posts that use very vile, vulgar or physically threatening words/expressions, be that from pro or con , I can understand those types to be deleted, that’s just common sense.

Personally myself I enjoy seeing the Obamabots flock here, it gives the rest of us a chance to make reasoned counter posts that leaves the Obamabots running for the hills in shame, lol.

Today in the Chicago SunTimes……
Rezko to judge: ‘I did nothing wrong with Obama’
June 12, 2008 Recommend
BY NATASHA KORECKI Staff Reporter
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve just made public, Tony Rezko pleas to be let out of prison during his trial so he can see his family. He also discusses his case, saying he was pressured to give up the goods on Gov. Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama, but that he had nothing bad to say about them.

“I have never been party to any wrongdoing that involved the governor or the senator. I will never fabricate lies about anyone else for selfish purposes. I will take what comes my way but I will not hurt innocent people. I am not Levine, Loren, Mahru or Winter. I am simply an honest, humble immigrant who believes in the American dream,” Rezko wrote as he was kept in solitary confinement in a downtown lockup earlier this year. He was speaking of numerous people who testified at his trial or talked to prosecutors.

Tony Rezko arrives at the Dirksen Federal Building for the reading of the verdict in his corruption trial.
(Tom Cruze/Sun-Times)

Tony Rezko’s letter to judge

Sources say that the feds have not approached Obama to question him regarding Rezko. Rezko was a longtime Obama supporter in Obama’s early, formative years as a politician. In Rezko’s criminal case, money from a kickback scheme ended up in Obama’s campaign fund, though there was never an allegation Obama knew about it. Obama later gave that money to charity.

The letter was a plea to St. Eve to allow him to see his family again as his trial continued. Rezko said he was stripped from his home unfairly Jan. 28 — when he was arrested on a bond violation.

“I did not die but in some ways I feel like I died without having a chance to say goodbye.”

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 09:16:16

I remember reading his financial deposition to the judge, where he stated “I am an American citizen, I never did anything wrong, I cannot believe I am on trial for being a good citizen.”

Funniest thing I have ever read.

More a message to Obama, and his twin brother, Blago?

Rezko is simply a walking piece of cat feces.

Comment by Dave_Not_For_Obama | 2008-06-12 09:54:58

Lets see what Rezko has to say when it sinks in that he may not ever see the light of day, except when they remove him from prison in a wooden box.

BTW, does the “american dream” include a multi-conviction for “doing nothing wrong”, lol.

 

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-12 10:34:12

He’s positioning himself for a presidential pardon.

Good luck with that Tony!

Comment by ritamary | 2008-06-12 11:52:58

Maybe Rezko believes if he doesn’t do a plea bargain now, he will get a much better deal after November if BO wins. Republican Patrick Fitzgerald will be removed as prosecutor and replaced by a friendly Democrat. Rezko will get a slap on the wrist and the whole investigation will just go away. In my humble opinion, I think this is part of the reason so many people are so determined to force BO on us.

Comment by HankinPA | 2008-06-12 08:58:24

I am of the wait and see crowd, but the April reference is very interesting!!! I also agree that Larry should never say outright that something like this exists but should indicate that he believes it might exist, etc..

I think McCain is going to win even without it! Obama got a bump from being presumptive nom, but maybe not enough to last until Nov — I think this is his highest rating and McCains lowest. I dont really want either one of them — just Hillary — or even I would be happy with someone else better than those two if not Hillary!

 

Comment by Alex | 2008-06-12 08:59:12

So let’s see that tape! No Spin Required - Just hard facts!

 

Comment by educatedwhitewoman | 2008-06-12 08:59:29

I won’t bother going to O’s propaganda site (I see that as they seek to dispel rumors about BO, they lie about what Larry actually said on this site about the Michelle tape; has there ever been a more complete and coordinated campaign to hoodwink the American people?), but if anyone bothers going there, I wonder how they will dispel the FACT, not rumor, that Obama won’t release his birth certificate, academic and medical records, or any records that other candidates for POTUS routinely provide. What is he hiding? How can we elect a POTUS when we know nothing about his past, except what he tells us in his memoirs? Could it be that the missing papers provide information that is at odds with his selective, romanticized, perhaps even partially fictionalized retelling of his past?

Comment by J. Richter | 2008-06-12 09:09:35

Have you seen McCain’s birth certificate?
The state department has all this records (Remember the leak in April). It is a CONSTITUTIONAL matter, no one will be allowed to contest for the presidency (or even Senate) without being cleared of this. If you dont trust the state department, justice department, and law enforcement, electoral commission to ensure a candidate is legitimate the problem is worse than O.

You really are all sick. Why not stick to the issues. Nothing wrong in disagreement based on issues. Its really not about the candidate. Maybe personal counseling will resolve some issues.

You were shamed that a tape doesnt exist (he called the bluff) and you shameless move on to the birth certificate.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 09:17:28

Funny how they pin it all on Larry.

A tactical mistake, I think.

 

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 09:19:49

I do agree with you on that story. It’s been making me nuts to see people flip over the idea that he’s not American. LOL*

Stuff and nonsense..and we’ve been trolled BADLY on it.

However, there are some good questions regarding his documents.

State senate records……never produced. Come on. He demanded Hillary’s dayplanner while saying he must have tossed all his papers? Unfair. Dirty tricks. Bad karma coming his way.

Ditto for his taxes. Did he ever spit the last one out?

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-12 10:41:54

AnninCA,

I’d agree with you except, Obama has no one but himself to blame on this. If he had simply produced it, there’d be no buzz on it. But all of this refusing and trying to control plus all of the these bizarre coincidences are among the reasons I can’t vote for him.

When are he and the Democratic Party going to accept this and quit sidestepping these questions?

They want Party Unity, then answer some freaking questions and stop the bullshit!

Otherwise go to hell and

WIN WITHOUT ME!

And how about this…Also in the Chicago SunTimes

Not all Democrats falling for Obama
June 12, 2008 Recommend
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—- Nothing personal, Sen. Obama, but our re-election comes first.

Barack Obama, for all his attention and primary successes, does not go over so well in a fair number of Democratic lawmakers’ home districts. So it seems there is little chance that some will endorse him for president.

Some are counting on Republican votes in their re-election bids. Some are newly minted and in rematches with 2006 opponents. Some may be wary of how their constituents will react to a black presidential candidate. Some, too, have made it a practice of distancing themselves from the national party, fearing the inevitable campaign ad that has their face morphing into Howard Dean, the party chairman, and Obama.

Rep. Dan Boren, the only congressional Democrat in Oklahoma, calls Obama ”the most liberal senator” in Congress and says he has no plans to make a public endorsement.

”We’re much more conservative” in eastern Oklahoma, Boren said. ”I’ve got to reflect my district.”

Georgia Rep. Jim Marshall, a Democrat and Vietnam veteran who won his last election by about 1,800 votes, said he admires both Obama and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., but feels no obligation to state a preference.

”If it turns out one of them is an ax murderer or something like that I’ll make a choice,” he joked. Otherwise, ”I don’t think I need to get involved.”

For most of these fence-sitters — at least 14 as of Wednesday — it boils down to political necessity: They are vulnerable Democrats in conservative-leaning districts who take pains to avoid aligning closely with the national party.

McCain has his own issues in his party. Many conservatives opposed the four-term senator, who has worked with Democrats and strayed from GOP orthodoxy on some issues, before he sealed the GOP nomination in February. Many still express reservations about him as the party leader.

Because McCain secured the party nomination much earlier in the campaign season, Republicans have not been pressed about their endorsements like Democrats have. But only a handful have publicly withheld their support for him. That includes Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, who long has bucked the party hierarchy, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who is running his own presidential campaign.

On the Democratic side, Boren said he, like most of the undecideds, will go along with nominating Obama at the Democratic convention in Denver in August.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki challenged Boren over his assessment of Obama and said the candidate had worked with Republicans in the Illinois Legislature and in Senate.

Obama, seeking to become the first black president, is hardly the first Democratic candidate to face such resistance. Over the years, moderates and conservatives have avoided associating with nominees going back to George McGovern in 1972 and including John Kerry in 2004. Public endorsements were not an issue in 2004 since Kerry had wrapped up the nomination early.

”They are all scared to death about getting beat by a Republican,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., one of Obama’s most prominent supporters. ”I don’t think that if the good Lord himself had been nominated as a Democrat that some of those folks would have endorsed him. They are afraid of looking too much like a Democrat because of the kind of districts they’re from.”

As in the past, many uncommitted Democrats are from the South, which has favored Republicans in recent elections.

Although Obama swept the region in the Democratic primaries with near-universal support from black voters, he often fared poorly among working-class whites. As a result, he is seen as an asset in some districts but a question mark at best in others.

Rep. John Barrow, for example, represents a coastal Georgia district where blacks make up more than 40 percent of registered voters, mainly in urban areas around Savannah and Augusta. Not surprisingly, Barrow — who won his last election by fewer than 900 votes — endorsed Obama in February.

But Marshall, the Democratic incumbent in a neighboring district in rural central Georgia, has stayed quiet.

Marshall’s district is less than one-third black, and he needs the support of white Republicans to win, including votes from the military community around Robins Air Force Base. He faces a fresh challenge this year from a retired Air Force general.

Republican campaign strategists already have shown they want to link Democratic candidates with Obama and other national figures, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s former pastor.

In special elections last month in Mississippi and Louisiana, Democratic candidates Travis Childers and Don Cazayoux faced television ads attempting to make those connections.

But Childers and Cazayoux won surprise victories, raising questions about the strategy’s effectiveness.

Still, Childers is staying out of the presidential race, as is his fellow Mississippi Democrat Gene Taylor. Cazayoux recently announced he is backing Obama.

Obama’s campaign has made some progress in converting the holdouts. Freshman Rep. Nancy Boyda of Kansas, who had insisted she would not budge from the undecided column, budged on Wednesday and endorsed Obama.

Boyda ”has been impressed with Senator Obama’s campaign because they’re willing to take their discussion to all 50 states, rather than just the swing states,” spokeswoman Liz Montano said.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, a Democratic House leader who helped orchestrate the party’s strategy for winning control of Congress in 2006, argues against reading too much into the holdouts. He said most of them always stay out of national politics and that the party is generally unified around Obama.

”They’re just going to stick to their knitting,” he said. ”It’s not that they’re anti-Obama.”

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 09:44:13

I read this one, too. That’s what my point was yesterday. Forget worrying about mad women. A percentage of us will cool off and vote for him. He’s lost another solid percentage no matter what he tries to do by past actions with the DNC and MI. You can’t steal 4 delegates and expect us to vote for you. He took the risk. He pays the price.

BUT who he has bigger trouble with are moderate-to-conservative Dems, regardless of gender, attitude toward the primary, even race.

He’s racing to the center as fast as possible to win over those voters, but at least as far as I can see, that’s not a workable strategy. He has an established record now via the primaries as a complete and utter elitist.

These voters are commonsense people, and they don’t buy into political rhetoric. They are polite. But they look at record. They have his number.

He’s just another Democratic candidate who has no real sense of their states or respect for that matter. It won’t do them any good to vote for him.

They’ll, as in the past, vote Republican.

We had a shot. Hillary was the shot at that bloc.

The Dem Leaders blew it. He can waste a lot of money trying to woo them, but it’s going to be money down the rat hole.

Moderate-to-Conservative Democrats do not vote for people who choose Wright, the hater, as his “spiritual mentor.” That just ain’t gonna fly.

Comment by Mary | 2008-06-12 10:06:01

Yes, and he barely won Missouri—about 10,000 votes in inner cities.

I think McCaskill will realize that her OWN state is much more moderate/conservative than she admits.

She’ll be surprised the next time she runs for re-election.

I have family in Missouri. It’s not a latte-liberal California, by any means.

McCain will carry Missouri in November, and McCaskill will suffer for it.

Comment by Sue | 2008-06-12 10:50:06

Mary: You are absolutely right about Missouri. I live in St. Louis County and BO was trailing HRC until the City of St. Louis votes came in. There is a very heavy black population and the BO campaign made sure that those people got to the polls.

As for Claire McCasill, what makes me angry is that when she rant for Senator (and governor when she split the Democratic Party and allowed Matt Blunt to win), is that she appealed to women voters to vote for her BECAUSE she was a woman. Suddenly that all goes out the window because her kids thought BO was cool and encouraged her to come out for him which she did around the time of the Nevada Primary.

I hope she goes down in flames when she is up for re-election. As you may know her margin of victory over Jim Talent was very slim. BO will take St. Louis City and County, K.C. and possibly the university centers but he will not win Mo. I plan on helping John McCain. In fact I’ve almost decided to vote a straight republican ticket (never voted republican in my 40 years)

 

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-12 10:51:50

McCaskill committed political suicide with her over-the-top endorsement and cozy relationship with Obama.

She’s going to pay for what is obviously Hillary-hatred and gushing feline adoration of Obama.

She’s going to learn the lesson all Heathers and Mean Girls learn:

“Real life sucks losers dry. If you want to fuck with the eagles, you better learn to fly.” (from the film Heathers)

If women want to soar and fly, they better learn to stick to gether.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 10:55:32

She’s sure talking sweet now, isn’t she? LOL* I note the polls showing McCain slightly ahead. And that is after Obama’s big bump?

Whoa*….he’s in trouble there. And, therefore, so is she.

 

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 11:03:15

Well, she may pick up the AA voter bloc there. Did she before? I don’t really know.

I just heard her “womanly advice” to not ruffle our feathers more by suggesting we’re not really upset.

Oh…..so she CAN be sensible, eh?

I’d say I would like to see her delisted from Emily’s List, but it seems we’ve all delisted Emily’s List, so it doesn’t much matter.

 
 

Comment by cellocat | 2008-06-12 14:55:51

MO is the purplest of states; remember when it went for Bush by only one percent last time. As Kansas City grows MO may start voting Democratic from the increased urban vote, but barely. There’s definitely not enough of a margin yet for McCaskill to be politically safe in her endorsement of Obama in a state where the rural regions are quite conservative.

I do think that when the female governors who had specifically run as part of an effort to get more women into governorships as a springboard to the Presidency endorsed Obama, they should have at least acknowleged to their female base that their endorsement was a departure from their stated commitment.

For this reason I will not give Gregoire any money. She’s pandering to what she perceives to be her base, but she’s lost moderate female votes, and I bet she’ll lose in November.

Im not sure about that- I was posting on here and got into a polite disagreement with a poster because I was saying some of the criticisms of Obama were over-the-top. He called me a troll and all my posts were instantly deleted and I couldnt post again. It’s a pity because I really wanted to get a debate going and considering the abusive language I was reading elsewhere on the site, I was suprised I could be blocked for what appeared solely to be disagreeing with someone else. It was odd.

Differing opinions are welcome, but not abusive language… it gets our panties in a knot. True trolls cannot stay civil for long. If your discussion got heated, you could very well have been flagged as a troll. Apparently, now your posts are going through, and you’re still posting so what exactly is the problem?

I don’t like some of the conspiracy theory stuff, either.

But you know what? I can skip over those conversations.

There’s so much going on on this site, that there’s no reason to get sucked into anything you don’t wish to entertain. Some people are BIG on conspiracy stuff. Lordy, when Hillary was running, you could count on HuffPo running some idiotic piece daily implying that Bill and Hillary were up to some nefarious scheme. Never panned out with any facts, mind you. But it kept the Obamabots entertained.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 09:23:08

How do you think crazy world leaders think, remember the meeting Dick Cheney was having when he shot Harry?

They were discussing taking over the middle east.

It’s not conspiracy, it’s kook.

You want sane, vote should have voted for Clinton.

Too late!

Did you read the excerpt from McCain’s speech Larry posted yesterday?

He was essentially saying the US had the right to unilaterally invade any country it saw as a threat.

What do you think it means, it’s just rhetoric?

And Obama doesn’t take bribes, “he didnt mean it, they ALL take bribes, we can count on Obama to create sane policy.”

Right.

Comment by Obama Trolls Are Idiots | 2008-06-12 09:04:59

As frequent posters here know, I have a real problem with Trinity Church for their embrace of Black Liberation Marxist Theology. I cannot support someone who embraces a theology based on marxism. The Catholic church has fought this liberation theology for over 40 years which started in south america. When will he address the “father” of Black Liberation Marxist Theology - Cone?

When you sit in the pews (or sleep as he say) of a church that spews hatred for whites and has as the basis of its theology marxist values, I am sorry you must have embraced it yourself. Take away all the craziness of Rev. Wright and get to the basics of the theology and Obama/Marxist is a marxist.

CNN has now for me (although they have tried to appear as they are not) gone completely in the tank for Obama/Marxist. Yesterday, they showed a clip of McCain during an interview talking about staying in Iraq and after he said something about staying they cut off the clip - not show the rest of the remark. They made it appear as tho he said something he did not. And 15 minutes later Obama/Marxist gets on television distorting McCains statement.

I will never stop showing this person for the fraud he is and his Alinsky organizing tactics that was used to “thug” his way into the caucuses.

In the beginning I was only sad because I would be voting republican for the first time but now I feel we must fight to save America from this Marxist fool.

Well, I listened to Jodie’s comments (Obama’s bundler who supposedly said that we deserved to be bombed…) and it was the same foolish smear tactic. I listened to her full statements.

Her words were twisted by the conservative radio host. Then someone picked up on HIS interpretation and printed it. Then ….. and so it goes.

She actually was quite cogent.

Ask Bill Maher about this kind of thing.

He lost his Network program for this kind of nuanced articulation.

We are a polarized country.

The media in their heavy-handed manipulation over the years has created this polarization.

Average middle-of-the-road Americans don’t want to hear such talk. They are plain-talking folks.

And the media is going to hype McCain’s bellicose rhetoric as well as manipulate it.

Anybody with common sense knows that our economy is going to dictate a lot of our miliatry decisions from here on. You can’t keep a war going indefinitely on credit. And Obama’s already backpeddaled on his war stance.

All the Iraq War did was distort the Primary Campaign and keep us from having a real dialogue on the issues. And the media played a huge role in this.

So maybe most of us are none too pleased with conspiracy issues dominating the discourse. But how do explain some of this outlandish stuff with Obama?

There is no such thing as straight talk anymore, from anyone.

So conspiracy theory discussions have fertile ground on which to operate.

Apparently you just assume that everycomment that you don’t agree with is is bullshit. This one isn’t. It’s the Marxism that the Catholic Church finds so insidious. That’s one reason why so many of us find it impossible to trust Obama.

Sources say that the feds have not approached Obama to question him regarding Rezko. Rezko was a longtime Obama supporter in Obama’s early, formative years as a politician. In Rezko’s criminal case, money from a kickback scheme ended up in Obama’s campaign fund, though there was never an allegation Obama knew about it. Obama later gave that money to charity.

The letter was a plea to St. Eve to allow him to see his family again as his trial continued. Rezko said he was stripped from his home unfairly Jan. 28 — when he was arrested on a bond violation.

roflmao. Yep, that’s what happens when you LIE! The guilty screw up their tales when they are putting too many false claims out there.

And after he answers these few, if he really decides to start ANSWERING, instead of spinning, while he YELLS as he does. I can’t even stand to hear him, because in his mission to not SAY ANYTHING, HE YELLS TO SOUND AUTHORITARIAN, AND AVOID MORE QUESTIONS. Just like most bullies do when they have no answers to give. But maybe he should try to state, with certainty, if he feels this is just a lie, he should specifically state that and put this “smear” to rest.

However, you do know smear does not mean the story isn’t true, it just means it is the action used to “stain or sully” . Kind of like the “Macaca” smear. It didn’t meant it wasn’t real or happened, but it did take out George Allen from his Senate seat and bring to a hault HIS ambititions to be Prez.

Obama, if this is true and it comes out when you are the official nominee, your name will be mud through all your big donors for wasting their money……and the Democrats for losing what should have been the Democrats year to win the White House.

Has anyone here seen McCain’s birth certificate?
The state department has all this records (Remember the leak in April). It is a CONSTITUTIONAL matter, no one will be allowed to contest for the presidency (or even Senate) without being cleared of this.

Some here are really sick. Why not stick to the issues? Nothing wrong in disagreement based on issues. For this group, its really not about the candidate is it? Maybe personal counseling will resolve some issues.

You were shamed that a tape doesnt exist (he called the bluff) and Larry LIED that it did when he never saw it and you shameless move on to the birth certificate.

So let me get this straight:

Children born to parents who are serving in the military abroad should automatically be penalized for not having been born in the US while one or two parents were serving their country

Get real!!!

Obama’s parents were not in the military. His father was a foreigner here on a student visa.

These are legitimate questions for some people and Obama is making it worse by not simply producing his birth certificate.

I will never support a candidate who is touchy about EVERYTHING!

Now I know that was a long time ago, but in Chicago, it still lives.

Now let’s look for some other really legitimate reason to be against this guy. He might not be the best candidates but we will establish this fairly and based on truths.

Comment by It's Not Me | 2008-06-12 09:35:02

Larry hasn’t lied about anything. He never said he had the tape. he said he has talked to people who know other people who have seen the tape. He said he was told the GOP has the tape and they are saving it for their October surprise to bury THE LIAR. he said he was trying to get his hands on it, but has been unable to.

How did Larry lie?

 

Comment by frankly0 | 2008-06-12 09:56:26

No, actually, this Time story only confirms that what Larry actually said, as opposed to what you are claiming he said, is true.

In fact, all Larry said was that he heard a story from two independent people that there was a tape of Michelle ranting about “whitey”. He went further to say that while those two people hadn’t seen the tape, they had spoken to people who had.

Now the details here of what Larry claimed — that there were two independent people, that they claimed that they knew people who had seen the tape — certainly aren’t, per se, confirmed. But the overall claim that there are people asserting that the tape exists most certainly IS confirmed in the Time story. Larry is NOT making that up — the Obama camp clearly knew about the rumor before Larry even brought up the subject. This strongly suggests that when Larry reports that people have told him about the rumor, that he is speaking truthfully. He most certainly is not the real origin of the rumor, and is at most simply passing it along.

Now I have zero idea how reliable Larry’s sources might be. How could I? I have even less of an idea of how reliable their supposed sources — who claim that they have seen the tape — might be. It seems perfectly plausible to me — indeed rather probable — that they might be simply making this up to spread a rumor, as political operatives have done in the past. So overall, I put the likelihood that the tape exists as being still quite low.

But so far as Larry’s own account of this goes, I see only confirmation that he’s reporting with some accuracy on the existence of a rumor he heard.

 

Comment by ritamary | 2008-06-12 12:47:55

Let me think…The objectionable statements from Reverend Wright were quite a bit longer than two minutes. The “God Damn America” sermon, the “Ridin’ Dirty” sermon, the very recent rant at the National Press Club…

I think the National Press Club is where Wright put forth his views on educating black children in a different way from white children since black children think on a different side of the brain. If a white scientist came up with a such a blatantly racist theory he/she would be laughed out of the scientific community. Definitely way more than two minutes.

Comment by Psychosavant | 2008-06-12 09:23:17

You all are missing the MAJOR point here, even if there is no tape!

From the article:

When the Obama campaign got wind of the rumor in April, Michelle’s close friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett asked Michelle if there could be anything to it; the candidate’s wife dismissed it out of hand. But by mid-May, it was picking up steam on the Internet, and Michelle’s advisers decided it was time to have a serious talk with her about it. On a campaign swing through Oregon, Michelle’s chief of staff Melissa Winter grilled her on the particulars of the various versions. Had she ever spoken at Trinity Church? Could she ever recall having uttering that racial epithet? No, no, Michelle answered again and again. Additionally, she said, “whitey” is simply not a word that African Americans of her generation tend to use — or that she herself would ever say. Michelle was shocked and frustrated when her aides approached her the second time about the alleged incident.

EVEN MICHELLE’S FREIND AND ADVISORS THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOME TRUTH TO THE STORY! They think she is capable of going on a racist tirade! They don’t even have that much faith in here since they asked about it!

Comment by frankly0 | 2008-06-12 16:42:26

You raise an interesting point.

It’s certainly not a good sign about the campaign’s trust in Michelle that the felt the need to grill her even after she had denied it once.

But I am more struck by how Obama himself handled the rumor after he was explicitly asked about it by a reporter. If you look carefully at his response, he never explicitly called the rumor a lie. It was sufficiently obvious that he had not done so that the reporter asked him again to be more explicit in his answer — which Obama refused to do, saying that he had said what he was going to say.

Now at first I had thought that his oddly inexplicit response could be explained because he was mostly speaking off the cuff, and his remarks were just not as precise as they could be.

But now I don’t see how that could be, given the obvious attention his campaign had paid to that particular rumor. I don’t see how his response is anything other than being very deliberate, and carefully parsed. And the nature of the response really does suggest that Obama did not want to be on record explicitly calling the rumor a lie — which would only add to the damage that the tape might itself engender.

So what does one conclude from this? Not at all that the tape exists, but rather that, despite Michelle’s explicit denials to the campaign, and, presumably, her husband, the campaign does not fully trust those denials. I don’t know how else to make sense of Obama’s peculiar, guarded response.

All of which would suggest that Michelle does not seem to impress Obama’s campaign as a very reliable person.

The interesting issue is whether Obama himself trusts her denials, given that he went along with the carefully parsed response.

 
 

Comment by Psychosavant | 2008-06-12 09:24:49

Oh, and I don’t care if they denied the tape. It could still turn up. Bill Clinton told everyone he never had sex with Monica and lied under oath about it. And Nixon said, I am not a crook! I wonder if Obama and Michelle will have their moment.

Comment by Mr.Murder | 2008-06-12 09:47:21

Actually he didn’t have intercourse, which was the judge’s definition of sex.

If he committed prejury he would have been found guilty, he wasn’t.

Oh, the man who was Woodward’s main source on Nixon bugged Obama’s friends in the Weather Underground including his day one supporter Mr.Ayers, the American bomber.

Comment by RedDragon62 | 2008-06-12 09:35:32

How do you figure Larry lied? He NEVER claimed to have seen or heard the Tape himself. He never claimed to produce the tape. He never said he had the tape. Only that some of his sources had either heard it or know of someone who did,

I find it curious that during the course of the day, we get a group that wanders in here and asks about the tape. never wanting to engage in civil conversation, just a hit and run Troll drive by.
If this tape does not exist, why the talking points on what “MICHELLE” meant to say…you know. she meant to say…Why’d he not whitey! I have heard this from a ton of ‘Bots! If it is not an issue why come here and continue to make it one?
Me..I don’t know if it exist or not. I personally have never seen nor heard it. But, I do trust in Larry Johnson! He has not been wrong in the past and I suspect he is-right on this also. The bomb will be dropped, that much I am sure of! If you have followed this primary as closely as many of us have, I do believe that Hillary knew it existed also. Who knows what she meant by an October surprise. DO YOU KNOW IF IT EXIST OR NOT? Do you know for a fact it NEVER existed? If not, calling someone you don’t know a liar is pretty lame wouldn’t you agree?

TeakWoodKite Says:

RedDragon62…come in, over? :)

I see ya and raise what you said…

When Mr. Johnson first “reported” this, it was already known to BO and MO and Axelrod. When the remarks from Quizling Wright came out, Hillary already new about the tape.

Look at video of the first time she commented on Wrights remarks…”If that was my church, I would have walked out…”

The Rev’s remarks where not the only thing she was talking about…she did not want this issue raised for the simple reason, she understood the false attribution that would be made.

The test run of this by BO’s camp was BO’s garb in Kenya. (”Hey Dick here…Drudge can you run something for me?” “Sure Dick on the QT?” “You bet”)

Clinton was well aware of what the odds were. The Dean dems knew this was available at least a year ago. Anybody with a memory who was present at the event, (and there more than three of them in the room), knows what was said. Clinton has contacts in Chicago as well.

At the time of 2004 it may not have been well known. The rush to get BO the Nomination is a calculation that events will overtake something said by a spouse of the nominee..”years ago”…

I would as part of my wager include the notion that “the past is prolouge.”

Actually I am aware that the Black panthers were inspired by marxism and did tend to be marxist, but it would be nice to have solid evidence to convince us that Obama is a black panther in disguise. Do you really think if he came into office he’d try and implement marxist policies? or maybe call for blacks to seize the state or opress whites? what exactly is he going to do with this theology you claim he has?

Differing opinions are welcome, but not abusive language…

Ive only been on this site for about a week so maybe this is a new development, but ive noticed that the vast majority of abusive language comes from the anti-Obama crowd. Also witness the incredibly vitriolic and occasionally homophobic comments we saw on the article that was attacking Andrew Sullivan. Why didnt the site moderate that language if it feels very strongly about civil discourse?

Farrakhan is a heavyweight in Obama’s Chicago. Cripes, do you read at all?

What makes you think that a Democratic Congress which has shown itself to be powerless against Bush, will protect you from a Democratic president who espouses Marxism? Bill Ayers’ education policies are unapologetically left wing and marxist, and he very well could end up in a high position in an Obama Whitehouse. And so it would begin.

and what we notice from the obama crowd is meaness, lies, and will do anything to anyone to win.

so pack it in m. i’ve got your number. go do your own homework. these carefully worded oh so nice questions are just a front for a troll sent with a more carefully honed con than the outright get in your face trolls.

 

Comment by No to B.O.= Body Odor & B. Obama | 2008-06-13 01:02:53

Do you really think if he came into office he’d try and implement marxist policies?

He already listed many of these policies at his site - including forms of redistribution of wealth, raising capital gains taxes very high, raising taxes on all Americans in the form of payroll Social Security taxes, etc
-If doubt - listen to his wife and her calling for a redistribution of the “pie”
-Wright/Pfleger’s belief that white people have to give up their 401K’s and trust funds even if they’ve never owned slaves or harmed anyone, let alone Blacks.
- and Obama has never stated his stance on Slave Reparations - and even tries hard to avoid Black leaders meetings, ex. New Orleans
- This is clearly what many of his supporters believe, at best, you can only hope that he only pays it lip-service and doesn’t believe it neither (just political expediency) as he hasn’t done anything for Blacks, even those in his district other than give them Rezko-type housing. He didn’t even donate a cent to Katrina and only 1% of his income to Trinity Church.

or maybe call for blacks to seize the state or opress whites?
Have you not heard the threats of Recreate68? Or the bullying and viciousness at the caucuses or anywhere where anyone has a Hillary sign up? Or threatening of mass riots in the streets if Obama doesn’t win? Obama himself propagates this with his staff threatening to summon a 100,000 army of Obamabots with one click of the mouse in any city. Never heard of Chicago thugs/mafia? Nation of Islam? Wright’s church calling Blacks to not kill each other, as that is the “wrong enemy” and implying that whites were the enemy that… I can’t even finish that line - the hatred and stupidity is overwhelming. And numerous other examples that I just don’t want to go into…(I didn’t even need to mention Obama’s support for his machete-genocide wheeling Odinga Kenyan tribe member).

what exactly is he going to do with this theology you claim he has?
See the above that are all doctrines from his church, his 20-year friendships/alliances/business partners. And read his racialist book that eerily resembles Mein Kampf. Oh - did I mention the Church also harbors anti-Jewish sentiments. Too eerily similar - just different times but same tactics, strategies, and beliefs.

That is the best article I’ve read since she announced her concession.

Thank you so much, and he is SOOOOOOOOOO right.

I wish we could get that posted here. It might really start us focusing on the real issues instead of crap like birth certificates.

He is so right, too. I said essentially the same thing. I’ve never really had a hero, either.

She has inspired me.

Please use your brain.

Thank you.

If there is no tape all Obama had to do was to state “there is no tape” instead of his denial non-denial.

I understand how upsetting this can be, but it’s also kind of funny, isn’t it?

Especially when the would be hacker is a fucking moron, removed from reality.

There are lawyers out there who will sue, and it’s a nasty business, having a lawsuit hanging over your head, the stress and the pressure.

They forget there are real consequence to their virtual actions, they simply cannot SEE.

I look upon it as a honey pot, they see something they want to attack, with NO ability to understand the greater implications, never asking themselves if they’re being set up.

Ever.

And this, from Ivy educated people, amazing, isn’t it?

An easy solution to not having your online name stolen is to use a name the Obamabots would not want to steal, such as mine, lol. I dare them to steal it, he he.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 10:47:32

Oh now, I get it. *duh*

Mine was stolen and someone suggested this to me, but I didn’t get it.

I’ve had posts from both Huffpo and Talk Left show up on other sites embedded in articles.

The fact is that on the net, there is not much permission requesting. They can’t contact me, since I don’t choose to share my e-mail publicly.

So we have to live with the downside.

Ann, you’re right. I always do it, too. I forget that the information is out there, for anyone with a computer with an internet connection has access to.

what’s up with that?

Comment by campingoutindenver | 2008-06-12 10:01:32

In 2005 the General Synod of the UCC concluded that gay marriage was okay. By the time the 2007 General Synod came around they said it wasn’t. This was a big issue for the UCC and the LGBT community. People thought it would be addressed at the 2007. OB and other speakers did not address the controversy. Many feel that they and he wimped out.

I NEVER Claimed Obama was a Black Panther! judas priest! lol…. What i said was that many of the Older Preachers, having come to God, were at one time or another affiliated with them here in Chi-town! Not Only them, we have an Alderman and I believe he was a State senateor by the Name of Bobby Rush! Do you know who he is? AN EX-PANTHER!
The argument I was making was that in the neighborhood surrounding Trinity and north of there in Bucj Town, there are still Remnants of the socialist movement. And There is a Marxist enclave here. Rev. Wright has been known to associate with them. And, Black Liberation Theology is closely aligned with Marxist. The doctrines are very close!

As for Larry Sinclair.

I really don’t know what to make of this man’s accusations. Either he is looking for some of the Globe Money or he really has a story to tell. Me I can not attach myself to anything he has to say unless he has solid proof to back up his claims. Many a person has been taken down with false claims of sex and the like.

Until he can PROVE he has had a relationship with Obama, I will not give this story any credit. I can say this though….He is a persistent MoFo isnt he?

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 10:00:50

I’m open to his accusations, again, there seem to be a lot of people who consider Obama bisexual.

It’s an issue because of Obama’s greater psychological instability.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 10:12:05

I think it’s the drug admission and his body type…sort of willowy. People are funny about stereotyping that way. But then the real stuff comes out, and those stereotypes don’t really hold up.

I agree that it’s more a matter of mental stability, although Bill Clinton certainly had his own set of sexual issues, obviously. He did fine.

I must be in the minority on this one, but I am so sick of America’s preoccupation with the sex lives of others!

We are a nation of busybodies. LOL*

 

Comment by mimi | 2008-06-12 12:01:28

Sorry, but unlike most puritanical Americans, the gay sex is not what bothers or interests me.

It’s that he could have SMOKED CRACK as recently as 1999.

If you listen to the Larry Sinclair interview, he goes to great lengths to underscore that his motivation for coming forth with this was to expose that Obama had lied about his drug use happening only when he was a teen and that it was long over.

But true to American prudish form, everyone is focusing on the alleged gay sex act.

That’s just nuts to me. It’s about the drugs.

Personally, I don’t believe Sinclair. But oddly enough he doesn’t seem like a nut in the usual sense. But if he can’t prove this story, then he has to be dismissed as a nutcase.

Personally, I don’t care if Obama is in the closet (and my personal gaydar registers a reading), that’s between him and Michelle.

His homophobia, however, is a problem.

 
 

Comment by Sugar | 2008-06-12 10:02:18

I personally think it’s true. I wish there was some proof, but I have a good feeling he is telling the God’s honest truth. I don’t even think Obama and Michelle look all that genuine when they are together. It looks forced to me and I could be way off the mark, but something doesn’t add…

I don’t proclaim to know the truth about Larry Sinclair either but I do know I will be watching his press conference with interest, if the Obamabots thugs don’t stop him in some way physically first. All I can say is that I hope he has 24/7 security, because if there is any shred of credibility to his claims then I have real concerns about his safety.

Comment by Anonym | 2008-06-12 16:13:01

What is this story about?

I have seen the National Enquirer headlines claiming Obama is homosexual, but I just assumed there was nothing much to it. Not that it really matters - unless it’s just one more thing hidden in his closet.

I do find it odd that he only had children after he discovered he wanted to be president and had won his senate seat. I often wonder if those children were used as bait to get what he wants, and whose idea it was to have them. I really don’t believe it was his, or his wife’s, but some schmuck like Rezko’s or Ayers’ or Wright’s idea. Just a hunch. Neither of his parents cared about him, and history proves that attitudes like that are usually passed on too.

While I believe there is a tape of MO ranting about whitey, I want to restate that for millions of us, if the tape were to never appear, we would still refuse to vote for BO.

BO is inexperience, unqualified, dishonest, and a danger to our national security.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe BO will give a speech on Internet Rumors. It could become one of the most important speeches since Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

NO OBAMA/MARXIST
MCCAIN 2008 or until Hillary rises

If you are judging a man exclusively by the kind of preacher he keeps close to him, you might want to check with your man Mccain. Heard of Hagee? How about his U-turn on the ‘agents of intolerance’?

no the really HILARIOUS thing about you is that you ASSUME we are here to entertain you!!!

pfft! Arrogant much? Pitiful really.

Im assuming that was directed at me? I said his comments amused me. What I DID NOT say was that you are here to entertain me. Let me break it down for you:
What I said: ‘Im finding this line of argument increasingly amusing’
What I did not say: ‘YOu people are here exclusively to entertain
me’
Perhaps the distinction was lost to you in your rush to attack me, but dont try and put words in my mouth.

Comment by claribel borden | 2008-06-12 10:07:55

Hagee doesn’t tell Mccain what to do.

Hagee, AFAIK, doesn’t deal directly with Qaddafi, who blew up an airplane full of civilians.

That’s for starters, there is a difference.

BTW, I consider both candidates highly unsuitable, McCain will swing the military toward the neocon agenda, Obama toward Africa, and the Middle East “anti-jewish” crews.

Obama will get in over his head, and breakdown, you will have a mess, he, and his posse, have no clear cut idea how to handle any given situation. So it will fall to aides even more unqualified, and you have a double decker bus, with no driver on the top.

Neither has a clue WTF they’re doing.

“If you are judging a man exclusively by the kind of preacher he keeps close to him, you might want to check with your man Mccain. Heard of Hagee?”

Fair enough let’s compare. Obama sat in Wright’s church for twenty years. He and his wife regularly brought their chidren there. Obama claims a sermon by Wright as the inspiration for his second book.

Obama listed Wright (with Pfleger and Meeks) as one of his three spiritual mentors who help him keep his moral center. Obama gave Wright thousands of dollars, both personally in tithes and sent as donations when he was the co-chair of the Woods Foundation. Wright was an adviser in both his senate and at the beginning of his presidential campaign. And there are MANY more examples their close friendship.

McCain, in an effort to placate his party’s base, accepted Hagee’s endorsement for a few weeks. That’s it.

No even vaguely sane person can argue that these relationships are comparable.

McCain didn’t sit in Hagee’s church for twenty years and then claim he didn’t know Hagee had racist views. McCain never claimed Hagee as his spiritual mentor. Hagee didn’t marry McCain and Cindy, Hagee didn’t baptize McCain’s children, Hagee didn’t bless McCain’s new mansion bought with help from Tony Rezko.

Obamabots always want to change the subject when anyone criticizes their messiah.

M. so far this conversation has gone pretty civil by most Obama supporter standards.

I believe we, can agree to disagree without resorting to name calling and such. I understand we have differences, but do not assume we are all McCain Supporters. Far from it. Some are some are not. Me I prefer Godzilla but he is not running so I am shit out of luck.
I do want to say this though…
I have been coming here for about a year now. I was run out of Huff-n-Puff for posting Pro Hillary comments. Not physically mind you, but I was Troll rated and my post grew more and more censored. The same happened to me at TPM, Daily Kos and MyDD. I used a different name then but run off I was just the same.

This is the ONLY place I have found, with the exception of Savage Politics that have welcomed me and made me feel welcome. This election WILL end in November. We Need to keep our powder dry for those that deserve it, not each other. I believe you, me and the rest of our family can agree to disagree without any name calling. But I can not say the same for many other ‘Bots that come here. It has been our experience that they only want a confrontation, Hijack our tags or worse…..try to shut us down!

Neither has a clue WTF they’re doing

Have you considered that either of them might turn out to be a pleasant suprise as a President? Running for the Party nomination is in my opinion not the most ideal testing ground to see who would be a better president. It often shows who can run a better campaign but not necessarily who will be the better president. You are forced to pander and in trying to appeal to as many people as possible, you really cannot escape the process with any dignity. I recall Hillary Clinton saying to some voters “Some people call you swing voters- I call you Americans” and I cringed. Obama has said similar cringeworthy statements in the name of pandering. That’s what you have to sink to to get that nomination but Im not sure it will mean thats exactly how you will behave in office. Just my two cents.

 

Comment by RedDragon62 | 2008-06-12 10:22:22

And yes I am judging him by the preacher he keeps. I would be held to that same standard. So would you! You can not tell me he sat there for 20 years and did not absorb SOME of what he herd! Did you read his book? Jesus, he so much as says so in his book! I don’t have a copy in front of me, the first printing was scandalous! the second printing was scrubbed of all the rants against whitey. Why has the media ignored THAT?

Comment by Sugar | 2008-06-12 10:27:23

I think at the heart of a lot of these problems from Barack Obama is that wife of his and her own greed and unwielding ambition. He seems like such a wimp to me. I think she pushes him into a lot of these situations as well. Look at the way he ducked and dodged on key votes when it was time to take a stand and show some guts when he was a state senator? Michelle wasn’t around holding that frying pan to that head. That’s why she is fair game if you ask me. Everytime she opens her scoop mouth and says something dumb, I’m going to pounce.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 10:37:16

I don’t like her either, sugar. But I think he’s all about raw ambition, which is why he devised this strategy to run on no record from day 1.

Comment by Sugar | 2008-06-12 10:42:24

I don’t doubt for a minute that he is greedy for power as well, but she seems like she would drain out of all of her blood and replace it with kerosene if it meant getting power and wealth. For all of the bashing of Hillary, she doesn’t have anything on Michelle Obama when it comes to ambition! Nothing. Her abrasiveness [Michelle of course] even to her husband’s supporters is very telling. Ambition and greed in overdrive. Hillary was never abrasive to her supporters or to Bill’s supporters when he was in the spotlight.

Comment by AnninCa | 2008-06-12 12:02:23

I’m not quite so hard. I think she’s tacky.

That’s what I would have called her in my youth. Just a bit tacky.

She’s a fish out of water.

 
 

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-12 11:51:58

Funny, I always here how his record is very similar to Hillary’s. So which is it, does he have no record or a record similar to Hillary?

Which is it, is he a muslim or a member of an anti-American christian church?

Which is it, is he a fascist or a leftist socialist.

I always thought the right-wing was known for a well run smear campaign. Seems this year you are getting some things mixed up. Well, I guess the uneducated people you are targeting will not realize that the smears are contradicting themselved. The GOP/Hillary campaign can always count on the uneducated.

This blog isn’t targeting any particular group. We have a wide variety of viewpoints here. Also many of us are Democrats. Or we were Democrats until our party chose to support an unqualified, inexperienced man for president instead of an experienced, well-qualified woman.

If you don’t like it here go elsewhere.

Comment by wtf | 2008-06-12 14:57:40

why not stay here and try to educate some people.

You just said there is a wide variety of viewpoints here but then ended by telling me if I don’t hold your viewpoint I should go elsewhere. Please do make up your mind…

well he “lifted” copied, STOLE many of Hillarys positions which is the extent to which they are similar (5 millions green jobs etc etc)

some he came up with on his own

like the 30% increase on SS payroll taxes, that is a REGRESSIVE tax one Hillary is against

and of course face time with dictators who threaten us

those are all his…

I have said from the get-go O’s better? half? is the beginning of his fall. And so to support this I made this and published it yesterday! It takes most of 2 days to make one of these-so by the time I got this one finished-I was so sick of seeing his mug I could have puked! But, it is for the only cause!

Fair enough let’s compare. Obama sat in Wright’s church for twenty years. He and his wife regularly brought their chidren there. Obama claims a sermon by Wright as the inspiration for his second book.

Obama listed Wright (with Pfleger and Meeks) as one of his three spiritual mentors who help him keep his moral center. Obama gave Wright thousands of dollars, both personally in tithes and sent as donations when he was the co-chair of the Woods Foundation. Wright was an adviser in both his senate and at the beginning of his presidential campaign. And there are MANY more examples their close friendship.

McCain, in an effort to placate his party’s base, accepted Hagee’s endorsement for a few weeks. That’s it.

No even vaguely sane person can argue that these relationships are comparable

Good points but that ‘not even a vaguely sane person’ thing at the end was excessive- I do think Im at least vaguely sane!

Redragon62- Good post.

You’re right, these relationships aren’t comparable. The McCain/Hagee relationship is so much more despicable in that, according to you, it was solely a political manoeuver. Why would someone seek an endorsement from such a person. Didn’t the McCain campaign have access to the internets. Don’t they know about the Google (the Google is a search engine which keeps a database of many articles on the internets).

John Hagee, the controversial evangelical leader and endorser of Sen. John McCain, argued in a late 1990s sermon that the Nazis had operated on God’s behalf to chase the Jews from Europe and shepherd them to Palestine. According to the Reverend, Adolph Hitler was a “hunter,” sent by God, who was tasked with expediting God’s will of having the Jews re-establish a state of Israel.
Hagee says the Catholic Church is “the great whore”.

you know you are arguing with a fellow Uhhbama supporter right?

LOL

It’s spelled Obama.

And who said I’m an Obama supporter?

I’ll grant you that M.
But I did not come to this decision over night. I was and some may say still am, a democratic Committee man here in Illinois. I have had the pleasure of meeting many many politicians in my 30 years of voting. My father and his dad before him also were Chicago Precinct captains in one form or the other. I KNOW all I need to know about Obama. I KNOW what he did and DID not do for the people in his district. Many elderly folks died in those REZCO homes that were in his district. There was a mountain of complaints sent to his office and guess what> He says he can’t find those records. ALL his records from his senate days in Illinois have “DIsappeared”. Now I’m not a genius but this smells of Illinois politics! As soon as he jumped into the race….ALL of his Illinois Senate records VANISHED and he claims he knows nothing about it. What would you believe if you knew the way things work here and he goes on National TV and claims that his records vanished? You would cry…….BULLSHIT wouldn’t you?

A very good point indeed! How exactly do all those records disappear, it’s ludicrous and dishonest at best. Records don’t VANISH, they are destroyed or locked up, that’s a scientific FACT, so where are the records?? I’m amazed that an investigative reporter has yet to follow the paper trail that apparently VANISHED.

How in God’s earth can anybody be elected President of the USA when a portion of their PUBLIC OFFICE records have VANISHED, makes no sense at all.

Obama and his campaign are pathetic. Who is going to an Obama site other than cult aide drinkers to find the truth about the “smears”. Obama is an asshat winer. What a punk.

These fools don’t know what battle to fight!

They have Jake Tapper at ABC making a huge issue of this interview:

Notice the words “baby mama” on the bottom. Racist? Apparently Jake thinks so.

Here’s his column. Did they fedex him some new flavor of Koolaide?

I think the conservative won this round. She’s right. Michelle IS fair game provided they stick with her statements and policy remarks and don’t go for the cheap shot.

As for Tapper’s outrage? I totally missed the caption myself until he pointed it out. *haha

Just trying to keep it real My brother, ( Or sister ) can’t really tell through this monitor, ;-)
As for McCain…well I speak only for myself here….I can not vote for him, I don’t agree with his politics nor will I ever. but I do admire his service to this country. Being a Vet myself, I understand his commitment. But I cannot believe that with all HE has gone through and his love for the Military, he voted against more compensation for the veterans. he went along with his cronies in the senate!
Although I was not surprised…Thats a repugnican for you…I was disappointed.

ok, clearly by law in the usa obama was born illegimate. his father was already legally married. it really shouldn’t matter but perhaps to obama it is an issue.

Aah yes- only stupid, brainwashed people vote for the candidate you dont like. Thats a brilliant intellectual argument right there. You are probably one of those people who thought the fistbump with his wife was a terrorist gesture? Dude you are not debating. You are just saying ‘If you dont agree with me, you are an idiot’.

Reddragon- interesting post, I can see where you are coming from. Got to dash now but Id love to continue the debate tomorrow.
