Obama caught lying

You know what, I was going to post a reply, but then I realized it's another one of those "post without adding anything to it" threads.

I can visit youtube myself, provide a discussion point or don't bother to start a new thread with it.

shinerbock 03-18-2008 07:27 PM

I'm sure if that were a McCain clip the same response would have been issued.

The hostility that erupts when anyone has the audacity to say anything negative about Obama is pretty interesting. I'm not sure if it's more than normal candidates, but Obama certainly has that impact.

Ok, I am not on the Obama train at the moment but I do want to address this just in the interest of full disclosure.

First, this is not new "news", this all hit the fan right before/around the Ohio primary two weeks ago (which Obama lost, so even if he "lied" to garner favors with those voters, it didn't work).

Second, there's more information to the situation that has not gotten nearly as much coverage, because as we all know, the boring truth isn't nearly as delicious as the scandalous dirt. But much about that situation was blown well out of proportion and misrepresented and the Canadian government itself admitted to it. Here's another youtube clip for your viewing enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgxxWhzdhv0&eurl

The Canadian government did admit that it was blown out of proportion, but Obama initially denied the meeting took place until the memo surfaced. In the age of blogs, everything gets scrutinized to a ridiculous degree and blown out of proportion. This was a response to the McCain thread, I didn't post it two weeks ago because I feel that it's irrelevant. This is politics, we shouldn't be shocked that these people lie to get elected. There is such a huge difference in the beliefs of McCain and Obama that I would hope that not too many people are on the fence. McCain is pretty close to the kind of small government conservative that I like to endorse, if he were to get into office and somehow receive line item veto power then I think this country could cut through a lot of bogus spending and red tape.

I absolutely agree. The Washington Post even called this discrepancy out a few weeks ago, saying that in the eyes of the media Clinton and Obama are infallible, whereas the media takes every chance it can to attack McCain. And that Americans deserved to know the truth about what all has been covered up/avoided for so long.

And I considered this impressive, given that the Post is far from a conservative paper, and the comment was in no means in defense of McCain, but rather to just bring up a point of fact.

I like the Post a lot, despite its liberal leanings. It has retained its credibility for me, unlike the NYT.

Lately I haven't seen much about McCain being bashed. Actually, I haven't seen McCain's face on the news in a couple of days. I understand the story is less attractive considering he has it sewn up, but it'd be nice if we didn't have a starry-eyed press corps hanging on the every word of Barack.

The race between Barack and Hillary is occupying all of the press coverage. I don't know if this is a blessing or a tragedy for McCain, Karl Rove seems to think the latter based on an interview I saw. The constant bashing between the two could actually end out helping them in the end... how weird is that?

If both your posts in this thread you've done nothing but try to attack the credibility of the thread starter or other posters. Clearly this has to be an indication that you don't have an excuse for Obama's obvious forked tongue platform.

For the candidate that has tried to champion himself as a breath of fresh air, as someone above the petty political games, Obama sure has shown his true colors as of late.

I'm just glad the media (well, with the exception of MSNBC), has finally started to treat Obama like a politician. I think the vetting process gets extreme sometimes, but it is about time he stopped getting only softballs.

He didn't lie. His Campaign Aid responded to the Canadians without his knowledge.

Oh my bad, I forgot you have to have at least 1000 posts to be credible on an anonymous internet forum. Sorry to intrude on your e-turf.

Still, the candidate has to be at least somewhat accountable for his campaign. I mean we saw what happened to Hillary's aide over one comment to a small paper. Having anyone involved in the campaign calling the diplomat of another country is a pretty big deal.

Pitiful? He asked you why you felt necessary to contribute nothing to the thread. You could have easily watched the clip and made a comment, I'm pretty sure that is what the OP intended.

......and he's right. I've seen plenty of cry from you on here when someone intrudes on your man love affair with Obama. Then it usually divulges into you making smart ass comments and douchebagish insults.

Continue your fail...........

there is NOTHING to comment to, mackie...that's why...

I'm sorry, I support Obama, not ashamed to say it and that doesn't sit well with you...boooo hooo....

I find it funny, how folks like you JUST HAVE to add thier 2 cents in (by calling it commentary) to what someone else is doing when sometimes it's wiser just to shut up....

If you don't like it, just keep remembering what the difference between a-holes and opinions are and it will teach you a very valuable lesson...

I still have an opening for sex and song advisor if you are interested.

bowsandtoes 03-24-2008 12:25 PM

Once again, you ignore that topic that started the thread. We aren't the ones supporting Obama. We made our point: he's throwing stones in a glass house. If you don't want to support your candidate on the issue, that probably says something about the candidate.

Please feel free to respond with some half-wit remark about how I'm an idiot and only you are the enlightened bastion of internet intelligence.

maybe you are slow on the uptake....I don't really give a DAMN about the topic??

(especially when the OP and his cohort was just doing it for the attention? See posts numbers 2 thru 4)

Are those bows on your toes are tied too tightly?

Oh....and you are an idiot.

That's what the report said.

Then again, I've always believed to some extent in the old joke:

"Question: How do you tell if a politician is telling a lie?
Answer: His (or Her) mouth is moving."

My head just exploded.

But really though, I don't care that you support Obama. Not at all. For some reason it just seems like in this election the incredible sensitivity of Obama supporters is astonishing. I mean, in the past it has seemed like I could actually sit down with an opposing candidate supporter and tell him my thoughts about why I don't like him, why I don't like his platform, etc.

I've done that with a couple people with Obama and have had my ass completely chewed out. Apparently I'm close minded and am fearful of "change" and "hope". I'm also a racist.

MAC

therein you miss the point of this thread...

This particular thread HAS NO TEETH to it except to throw spitballs, that however is MY opinion...me personally, I would be GLAD to sit down with you and discuss Obama...but not at the perceived expense of you trying to clown me which was your attempt as indicated by:

"...here when someone intrudes on your man love affair with Obama"

So, you have three choices:

1. We can go on snarking each other which will go nowhere
2. We can discuss this rationally, only with assurances that we will show no malice in the argument.
3. We both can have some of my customary cup of hot frothy shut the f**k up and K.I.M.

Perosnally I have have no prob is option 2.

DaemonSeid, this isn't the first time that you've "not cared" about the original topic, but posted anyway, just to provoke those with a different point of view.


You know...it's been said I sometimes have that effect on people...

and yet you still continue to talk to me....

tissue?

What I need is for you to stop crashing threads by picking fights with other posters and bitching about how stupid the thread is.

Ok......well if that is solely your opinion theeeeeeeen.......you should just leave the thread. Some people actually responded to the OP legitimately. You haven't..........and I guess neither have I.

That's all. I don't know what else to say. Haha.

bowsandtoes 03-24-2008 06:35 PM

DameonSeid, you lead a sad pathetic life that's only purpose is to snap at the hells of those walking over you. Your only pleasure is derived from trying to rile up strangers on the internet.

It took me about 40 seconds to write this, and I'm sure you'll somehow get off to knowing you wasted that much of my time. This is the last post from me on the subject, I'm sure you'll try to retort (making liberal use of the space bar) but don't expect a reply.
