The fact that McCain doesn't threaten to quit if attacks like these don't end, speaks volumes about his moral fibre.
When you cynically accuse someone of "racism" because she said Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights bill into law that Martin Luther King fought for, don't expect everyone to cry when the same egregious thing is being done to you. I will vote for Obama, but that using of MLK's name in such an abominable way is something I will never forget. What goes around...
You crowed:
"Ha!
Smears are never attractive, but it's hard to work up much sympathy for the Obamas, given their recent thorough trashing of the Clintons accomplished through innuendo, memo, falsehood, omission, and sneer. As they say - what goes around, comes around. Guess it's Mr. & Mrs. O's turn now, huh?"
Regardless of which side of the Democratic party (or other party)you're on, why whould you take such GLEE and PLEASURE at such unmerited smear tactics of any candidate?
Look no farther than this freaky redneck chick from Texas who goes by the hate handle of KateTex. She's been circulating her strange blend of HateTex Incorporated for a pretty long time now. I remember first coming across her refuse around the time of the primaries, probably around May or maybe June, but she's one bitch of a busy bee. A veritable cornucopia of crap correspondence, tailor made by a typical Texas redneck.
A lot of de-bunking of Obama needs to occur, and emails are a good venue for doing so,since the mainstream media is virtually an appendage of the Obama campaign.
However, those emails should be completely factual, free of the kinds of mistakes and misinformation the article refers to. The reason is that a statement can be 95 per cent accurate and have its validity destroyed by a couple misstatements. And we know the Obama media will take the false statements and try to discredit the truth with them.
I'm particularly upset by the statement that "Obama is a muslim". The facts seem to be that his father and step-father were muslims and he attended a muslim school for a short hime in Indonesia, which is a long way from claiming he is or even was a muslim. The problem is that Obama's campaign apparently wants to hide the facts but deny the lie. Better the whole truth--unless the truth doesn't help Obama get elected.
I read Mrs. Obama's paper online, and I can't say I was impressed by it. My only real impression about it was that it was race-oriented, which is fine by me. People naturally gravitate to their own, ethnically, economically, and socially.
And nothing should interfere in such natural propensities--especially the government and courts. What is natural is the hallmark of any free society. Only authoritarian states would attempt to force people to associate.
I have been encountering another set of behavior when confronting lies spread via e-mail. The sender knows that the story is false, and doesn’t care.
I have often sent back full documentation, including references that conclusively disprove the story. The response I get back is that the sender does not care that the story is a lie: Just as long as the message is something negative about Barak Obama. We are no longer seeing a situation where ignorant, uninformed senders (or bloggers for that matter) are unintentionally sending lies. The know full well that the story is a lie, but they hate Barak Obama so much that the only important matter is that bad stories about Barak Obama be spread around, both for political purpose and for personal enjoyment.
This is the ultimate triumph of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and the other Conservatives of America. It is not longer a matter even of political power. Hate is all that matters to Conservatives and, as long as the messages serve to propagate, hate that is all that matters: Nothing else.
Change one word: Can Jews be Good American? Henry Ford and a lot of people didn't so and still don't.
As for the charges of zenophobia and misogeny laid against Islam. Those are the same charges against Judaism. Google Talmud Exposed and see what you get.
Nothing changes except the names. Once it was the Jews and now it's the Muslims. Who's next?
I will get no star for saying this. I actually dozed off sitting up midway through the second page. Since I have read ten pages of Michelle Obama's thesis, I have to say that it was a bit boring as well. Typical undergraduate writing trying to masquerade as a something worthy of a sociology journal, with too many semicolons wrongly used.
I was amazed earlier when Christopher Hitchens found it was worth writing about and read all sorts of sinister nonsense into it. There is no smoking gun of hatred towards white people in it. There is no militant black power stance.
The third page of Madden's article was mildly more interesting. My, some of those religious nuts are imagininative, aren't they? I actually live among some people like that. They think that I am terribly weird and un-American. I believe in welfare, abortion rights, and hate sermons. I am white. I was reared Baptist in my early years. Just imagine how horrified they would be if I was brought up on the "exotic" island of Hawaii.
I *knew* better than to respond to the busy redneck bee, but I did anyway! What's wrong with me?!? (please, nobody answer that hee hee). At least it's better than responding to the "ignore list" where I've been maligned repeatedly, everything from my political self to my feminist self to my brain and to my moral failings.
Wow. You told me once to grow a thicker skin. I don't take it so much personally as I do.......WAAAAAAAAAAHthef***?
Instead of bamboozeling us on "all the anti-obama e-mails", just do us a favor an spend maybe just one page to items like obama's (er, barry soetoro's) residence in Indonesia, his phoney birth document posted on his website and kos's, the supression of the CAC documents now taking place, and any of the other many lies and distortions by barry. Fortunately, people are starting to wise up, and barry's chances are diminishing. We just hope that enough people wise up before the coronation in Denver.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
