The Swiftboating Of Obama Begins
And the right-wing Regnery press is behind it again, as Cliff Schecter at Firedoglake mentions.
“We intend to put him under the microscope, and we think readers will be very interested to learn what we uncover,” says Marji Ross, president and publisher of Regnery, which in 2004 released “Unfit for Command,” the best-selling attack against Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry.









Well, I think the books look interesting. I know how to sift through bullshit. If there’s nothing truly damning about Obama’s character, then the public- and the pro-Obama media- will see through it.

Ever see the movie “8 Mile?” Obama is “Rabbit” getting ready to go on stage against the 313. He is Black. His wife did say, “She’s finally proud.” His Rev. is George Jefferson. Father Pfleger was funny. He did say, “Bitter.” Sean Hannity is biased against him. Hillary did get help from “Operation Chaos.” He’s not Osama. He’s not a Muslim to my knowledge. It is better to negotiate with our enemies instead of playing John Wayne and kicking down the door. We can always kick in the door if they don’t listen.

I do not read political books from the Switftboaters or simular type of books. Sorry, I enjoy reading books are acurate. I wish groups like these would have to prove there sources in the material. Then again, if they did they would not have anything to write about.
It is interesting that the left-wing media did not take note of the problem in Kentucky with voters not being able to vote in the presidential election. It was swept the rug as none of the voters complained much.

Just get ready………we’ve only begun to see the slanderous crap that the right wing will try to sling at Obama. I think part of the hatred for him by people like Alan’s partner Hannity, is partly because of FOL(Fear of Liberals…oooohhhhhh scary liberals) and partly just good old fashioned racism.

Some people may want to use fear and some Americans are racist, but not all. Yes, I know people who would tell you they do not like so-and-so just because of the color of their skin. If you want to use fear all the time to scare everyone, then we would be scared of everything.
Where I grew up, I was the minority in my high school and I really could care less. Not all Republicans are racist or hold exactly the same views as the Repulican talk show hosts that are on television. In fact sometimes I agree with Alan on a few issues and not Sean. I know scary is’t it.

If you’re going to buy right-wing books, buy them used, unless you want the author collecting royalties. I’ve bought a lot of second-handers from Amazon dealers and haven’t had any problems.

People who live in glass houses, shouldn’t throw rocks.
I suspect McSame has many more things in his closets than BO has. McBush is no choirboy.

I think ol’ Hillary would of had alot of more stuff and junk in the closet than Obama or McCain.
Remember Bill?
Enough said.
