D’s Worried Over Republican Smears, Dirty Tricks, Spin

The Obama campaign headquarters buzzed with energy yesterday afternoon, but there was a sense of foreboding among staffers.  “We are just waiting for the Rove/Bush spin machine to kick into high gear and turn Obama into somebody we wouldn’t recognize,” said campaign strategist Harold Scrottle, taking a break from planning a campaign ad aimed at convincing voters that John McCain, a former POW, doesn’t support America’s veterans.  “But what keeps us up at night is the anticipation of the dirty smears, the swift-boating, that will be attempted against Obama,” worried Scrottle, who paused briefly to read an email from a 527 group asking for input on an internet effort to spread the idea that McCain has become senile.  “We are planning to face a barrage of lies about Obama’s past statements.  They will lie and twist everything Barack has said,” lamented Scrottle, before posting a blog entry on Obama’s website accusing McCain of advocating more American casualties by wanting troops to stay in Iraq forever.   “We will have a hard time fighting back against the Republican echo chamber of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and Rush Limbaugh,” Scrottle fretted before heading out the door for interviews with ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today.

Media Outraged Over Obama Accusations Against Obama

Media Outraged Over Obama Accusations By Obama

A media firestorm erupted Wednesday night as allegations involving drug use and religion swirled around Democrat nominee Barack Obama.  The furor started when Obama claimed that Obama had smoked marijuana and used cocaine when he was younger.  Obama then went on to accuse Obama of having a Muslim stepfather and of having grown up in Indonesia, a majority Islamic country.  “In a scurrilous new attack, Sen. Obama is the victim of discredited allegations,” Campbell Brown said as she opened CNN’s Election Center.  The New York Times is expected to editorialize tomorrow morning that “these allegations have repeatedly been proven false and are just dirty politics.”  (The editorial is expected only because it hasn’t been published yet, but was already released as a statement from the Democrat National Committee.)  As a result of these allegations against Obama by Obama, Keith Olbermann is expected to name Obama the Worst Person In The World tonight, but only if he can find his last pair of adult Depends.

Other media notes . . . In unrelated news, CNN producer Harold Scrottle inadvertently forgot to add a conservative guest to the four person political panel on tonight’s Larry King Live . . . A recent survey found that 80% of the network evening news, 65% of the Newshour with Jim Lehrer, and 78% of all NPR programming is actually plagiarized from that morning’s New York Times.

The Idiot Bush? The Senile McCain?

“Well let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.”

– Sen. Barack Obama at a press conference in Jordan.

Yes, we all make mistakes, especially when speaking in public.  I’m just judging The One with the same standards applied to President Bush and Sen. McCain.  I bet Anderson Cooper does not open his show tonight by stating a verbal gaffe was possibly a “game changer.”

The Audacity of Dope

The liberals and the media, two groups perhaps too intertwined to be distinguished between, made much of the fact that President Bush declined to name any mistakes he had made.  Terry Moran, who has quite the reputation for being an unabashed left-wing ABC news reporter, challenged Sen. Obama in an interview during his European vacation on his opposition to the surge.  The surge, it should be noted, that Obama claimed would lead to increased violence, but instead played a significant part in the incredible Iraqi turnaround.  In fact, Obama would probably not be able to even visit Iraq if it wasn’t for the surge.  Yet Obama repeatedly told Moran that he would not reconsider his opposition despite the evidence against him.

President Bush has also faced repeated mocking, much of it deserved, for his lack of articulacy.  That may be one reason for the ascendancy of Obama; liberals yearn for a president that won’t embarrass them every time he opens his mouth.  It is well known that Obama (pronounced jee-zuh s) is a stirring orator, in the tradition of Lincoln, Churchill, and Reagan.  And yet we don’t see much reported on the uh, well, uh . . . inability of Obama to communicate artfully without a teleprompter.

But Bush is not only inarticulate, according to his bashers; when he is able to articulate an idea, he is often inaccurate or mistaken.  He is, they claim, a verbal gaffe machine, even inspiring a book on “Bushisms.”  The latest DNC talking point, faithfully repeated, I mean reported, by the media, is that Sen. McCain is also continually making gaffes, although not because of a lack of intellect similar to that suffered by Bush, but because McCain is tired and confused (hint, hint).  As I write this, Anderson Cooper opened his show on CNN this evening by stating that McCain had made a possibly “game changing” mistake during an interview on the surge (more on that tomorrow).  Obama has made several mistakes, some quite bizarre, that go beyond anything that Vice President Quayle ever did.  For instance, Obama referred to the 57 states that he visited and the 8 to 10 years he plans on being president.   As Michelle Malkin started reporting earlier this year, there are quite a few others.  This is not the audacity of hope; this is the audacity of the hypocrisy of the Left, from the media to politicians to voters, who lack even an ounce of intellectual consistency or honesty.
