Barack's new "FightTheSmears" site.
According them them...he's not addressing the RIGHT smears! Can you believe this shit?
Whatta bunch of desperados.
Speaking of "desperados", is Rush still ratcheting up his audience's ignorance, that the "whitey comment" is still on the horizon...just waiting for the right time? How many still believe it?
LOLOL!!!!
;-)
They are so beside themselves, like here, they have no problem with...or even concept of how ridiculous and desperate they sound:
Conservative bloggers are criticizing the Obama campaign's "Fight The Smears" website:
- AmSpec Blog's Robert Stacy McCain: "Very clever tactic by the Obama campaign -- launching a Web site called 'Fight the Smears', pushing the idea that any negative information about Obama is a vicious right-wing lie. [...] Getting out front with the idea that Obama will be the victim of 'smears' is a way of preparing supporters to dismiss as invalid any criticism of Obama's record or of his associations with Bill Ayers, Rev. [Jeremiah] Wright, Tony Rezko, etc."
- Power Line's John Hinderaker: "The problem with Obama's site is the issues it doesn't address. Thus, Obama's debunking of the 'whitey' tape appears under the heading, 'The truth about Michelle [Obama].' But what about the other questions that have been raised about Michelle Obama, such as her claim to have been proud of her country for the first time when her husband ran for President? The 'truth about Michelle' is very much in doubt. [...] The site proclaims that 'Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.' I've seen what appears to be credible evidence that Obama was raised as a Muslim as a boy, during the time he lived in Indonesia. But that is of little importance. What concerns me, and millions of others, is not the idea that Obama could be a Muslim -- he clearly is not -- but rather the fact that the religion to which he was drawn as a young man, and in which he participated for twenty years, is not Christian at all. Rather, Rev. Wright preached hatred, paranoia and racism, the opposite of Christianity, and for twenty years, Obama treated Wright as a spiritual mentor. This is, obviously, a legitimate concern which Obama's 'smear' site does not address."
- NRO's Jim Geraghty: "Dear writers and editors of the Obama's FightTheSmears site: I have a hot tip for you on another person describing Obama as having a 'Muslim background': Malik Obama, the candidate's half-brother, in a recent interview cited in the Jerusalem Post. Please track down this nefarious malefactor and ensure his statements are corrected."
Other conservative bloggers are criticizing the "Fight The Smears" website for quoting GOP operative Roger Stone as saying that he has "credible evidence that some indelible record exists" of Michelle Obama making inflammatory statements. In reality, Stone didn't say that he had "credible evidence"; rather, he said that he thought the rumors were "credible": "Well, there's a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists of public remarks that Michelle Obama allegedly made."
- RedState's Erick Erickson: "To respond to this smear, the Obama campaign has created a smear of its own. They are falsely accusing Roger Stone of claiming to possess the Whitey tape. Stone never said that. If the Obama campaign is going to combat smears by smears of its own, we might need to do an anti-anti-smear site."
- Townhall's Matt Lewis: "Again, this is an example of Obama blowing it. The idea of a rapid response website that sets the record straight is a very, very good idea. But Obama got greedy. It wasn't enough to say the 'whitey' rumor was bogus. He had to pretend it was our idea. And so his website is just the latest example of how Obama is playing politics. It's the game. They smear us, we smear them. That's politics as usual."
