Obama caught lying

Drolefille · #1 03-18-2008, 07:09 PM

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.

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.

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.

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."

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...........
