Update, June 6: Hamas has reversed its position on Obama, following a speech that the candidate gave to the American Israel Public Affairs Council. Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuri said that "we consider the statements of Obama to be further evidence of the hostility of the American administration to Arabs and Muslims," and that the speech "destroys any hope for change in American policies toward the Arab-Israeli conflict".

Oh, they may say they don''t endorse Obama because of his speech at AIPAC, but I''m sure it''s actually because they got tired of tracymorgan posting the exact same thing over and over.

Yeah, the DNC, CBS, and Obama campaign...gotta find some damned excuse for Obama''s loss...

Racism, Hillary Clinton, republican smear, how many other the hell excuses are they going to dream up? Maybe they will be able to blame the weather for a bad voter turnout, or how about voting machines, that''s a good one, got any chads?

Gee, I just saw that Fox News thinks a fist bump is a terrorist signal. Better the men of the PGA and the women of the LPGA that they are terrorists - see them do it after every good shot. Maybe those big golf bags are where the WMD''s are.
Even worse for me - my son''s little puppy knows how to pound it. I have a terrorist right under my roof!!

FOXNews%u2019 E.D. Hill On Obama%u2019s Fist Bump: %u201CA Terrorist Fist Jab?%u201D

By: Logan Murphy on Saturday, June 7th, 2008 at 10:20 AM - PDT


During the June 6 edition of Fox News%u2019 America%u2019s Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, %u201CA fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.%u201D In the ensuing discussion with Janine Driver %u2014 whom Hill introduced as %u201Ca body language expert%u201D %u2014 Hill referred to the %u201CMichelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound,%u201D adding that %u201Cpeople call it all sorts of things.%u201D Hill went on to ask Driver: %u201CLet%u2019s start with the Barack and Michelle Obama, because that%u2019s what most people are writing about %u2014 the fist thump. Is that sort of a signal that young people get?%u201D At no point during the discussion did Hill explain her earlier reference to %u201Ca terrorist fist jab.%u201D Read on%u2026

The personalities and wholly partisan programming at FOXNews has been well documented. They%u2019ve become a parody of themselves and this little nugget from Edith Ann Tarbox was just one in a series of belly-laughers Fox is known for. This campaign season is going to make 2004 look like Romper Room and you can be sure this won%u2019t be the last we%u2019ll see of this kind of garbage. Vote Obama in November.

Posted by TiredofObama:

Truth is truth, smear is smear.


Obama is a Muslim
Obama is a racist
Obama is a hate monger

The intent of all these false accusations is to raise doubt about the candidate. See the Karl Rove playbook - when you have no record to run on start making baseless accusations of your opponent - see also character assassination. If you have doubts about someone you are more likely to support the familiar, "more of the same" candidate.

Just keep in mind, if you want to keep getting what you are getting (the economy, Iraq, gas prices) keep doing what you are doing.

Oh, I fully expect between now and November there will be many many articles written making excuses for who and what Barak Obama is. Strange isn''t it, if the young man had not surrounded himself with all these numb nuts, nobody would be having to make excuses for him.

Anatomy of a Right Wing Smear: Obama is the most liberal Democratic Senator

By: Howie Klein @ 9:00 AM - PDT

Lately John and I have been gnashing our collective teeth every time we see one of the Republican shills on TV repeating, mantra-like, the #1 GOP Big Lie of the campaign: %u201CBarack Obama is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate.%u201D
If only! Actually there are 39 Democrats with more liberal voting records, although Obama does at least beat perennial Bush rubber stamps Holy Joe Lieberman (CT), Ben Nelson (NE) and Mary Landrieu (LA). His voting record%u2013 however you slice it, however you dice it%u2013 points to a solidly mainstream centrist%u2013 and, to be honest, considerably less liberal than Hillary.
So how do CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC all allow the paid GOP shills to get away with their Big Lie? Good question. There%u2019s one cooked up National Journal %u201Cstudy%u201D that these clowns keep referring to%u2013 yes the same cloddish National Journal that criticized its own ranking of John Kerry as %u201Cthe most liberal senator%u201D in 2004.
