Just one more reason to like the hell out of the guy. He’s all class!

A reich-wing pundit just stated that the TN GOPigs are very happy with MSNBC for airing their reich-wing ad smearing Mrs. Obama. Yet again, the librul media myth is debunked.

usually when one says “lay off” to the 7th grade mentality, it essentially like asking for trouble.

Obama is probably too classy to do a hard hitting, truthful ad about Cindy McCain’s interesting past (stealing, drug addiction, lying to try to pin her stealing and illegal drug possession on subordinates for example) or John McCain’s well documented infidelity and the affair he and Cindy had while he was still married to and living with (not separated from as his newly found spin says) his first wife.

If the rethugs insist on this sort of campaign then a 527 or two should emerge to take on that task. The rethugs really should think long and hard about what a truthful comparison of these two women would look like. Michele is light years ahead of Cindy-Barbie.

Just drink the kool aid wingnuts.

When november comes, Barack Hussein Obama/Osama will be a racist black muslim who hates america and all enemies of your country wants him to win over the republican candidate. The republicans haven’t even started yet. Prepare for a new low in modern politics, when race will be used against him. They will make a Willie Horton out of him. A likely scenario, if the republicans stand to lose is, that an attack on Iran before the election will be used to defeat Obama. Just like Bush defeated Kerry with terrorism and Iraq.

Ok.. So if Candidates wives arent off the table… lets all focus on Cindy Mccain and her stealing drugs from a charity to fuel her addiction.. or on Mccain for firing the guy who discovered it and reported it to the DEA.

I havent heard a squeak on that story from the media, but people are constantly questioning Michelles patriotism… At least she isnt a thieving drug addict…. I mean.. this could be the First Lady.. AND SHE WAS STEALING DRUGS FROM A CHARITY!

Seriously..

This campaign season reminds me of a bunch of rats swimming around in the ocean trying to stay alive. They will swim to anything they see in the water that they think they can crawl up on and survive. Trouble is, everything they crawl up on sinks.

First it was that Obama claimed in the second grade that he wanted to be president. That sank. Then it was Obama plagiarized words in a speech. That sank. Then the ocean was littered with Rev Wright and other people Obama had known. That’s still sinking. In their desperation they are now clamoring over to crawl up on one sentence Michelle Obama said. Obama is knocking them off that possible lifesaver. But no matter what they will keep swimming and crawling and watching their hopes sink right before their eyes.

She said these things while campaigning for Obama, thus it’s fair game.

If this is the case then people shouldn’t have criticized Bill Clinton for his statements.

When Mr. Obama gets to go toe-to-toe with McBush during the debates, AMerica will see how futile the reich-wing GOPigs have become. Mr. Obama is going to mop the stage with McBush’s wrinkly arse.

Bill Clinton is a former president. If you can’t see the difference, the world mourns for you.

Obama’s wife, Rev. Wright, flag pins, bitter comments, etc. shit that has NOTHING to do with the oil war, the health care crisis, foreclosures fucking everywhere, etc. These people(Repubs, bitter Clinton losers, ignorant bigots) clearly have nothing with substance to get Obama.

I wonder if Obama’s strategy is to put candidate’s spouses on the table with this tactic, because he knows Cindy McCain has much bigger negatives than does Michelle Obama.

It might have been more fun if he’d adopted the line, “John McCain, you do NOT want to go there…”

I hope the American people are smart enough to see this silly shit for what it is. There are some people who wouldn’t vote for Obama if Jesus Christ himself came down and endorsed him in person. Those same people will be the ones who use this stuff to excuse themselves from voting for Obama.

I like Obama’s style. He is basically calling the GOP out. These attacks on his wife are similar to those made about Obama’s meeting with that Imam or with Rev. Wright. They are indirect shots at him but thus far, there has been very little directed towards him specifically.  What is the matter with the GOP?  Can’t they hit their target?  Because, if this is the best that they can come up with as far as smears I doubt that they can and I think Obama knows it.

I dare say if Jesus Christ came down the election would be entirely forgotten. :)

Obama to GOP: “Lay off my wife” with “low class” attacks

Why should they? To hear some people tell it Hillary not only knew what Bill was doing with Monica, she was taping it and selling it online.

Whenever the GOP and its talk-radio representatives brings up Michelle Obama, just respond that at least Michelle isn’t a wife-stealing drug addict.

This quote is from the link above “hell no”

“But the real reason for Obama’s extraordinary freakout is that he fears the release of the videotape, reported here, of Michelle Obama in the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church railing against “whitey.” And we don’t mean Whitey Ford. Four Republican sources have told me that the tape exists. I’ve also been informed that Karl Rove and his allies have a copy of it and are using it to raise funds for independent expenditure groups. The tape, I’m told, will be disclosed as the GOP October Surprise. It’s a ticking time bomb.

And I’ve learned that a right-wing Republican billionaire has put a $1 million bounty on the video. He doesn’t want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now.”

So it’s not enough for them to chew on Michell’s sentence, they have to make up a story to cause more agitation.

Yes because they are mentally still seventh graders, I say go ahead be the puerile fools that they are, at least some in this country might see them for what they are.

Let me clarify first: I don’t like the ad and I’m voting for Obama.

What I like less is the whining.
So what if he’s an ex Pres, he’s still a spouse, campaigning for his wife and isn’t running for political office.
If they can’t handle criticism of speeches she’s made campaigning for him, she shouldn’t have done it.

In any case, folks weren’t so kind to Chelsea either while she was campaigning.

Have you noticed the Mrs Obama has gotten a little quiet lately. What would be the reason for this?
She opens her mouth and she’s fair game. That’s just the way it is. If you think that they were hard on HRC, just wait and see what the wrong wing talking heads do to her. And in the process , drag the whole nation with her. I think this woman is smart. But the question is, Is she smart enough to dodge all the BS coming her way. She’s been quiet lately, that says she’s learned how this game is played..

How do you compare this with President “I’ve never seen a big butt I didn’t want”? Bill DID bang Monica in the White House. Now what has Michelle Obama done to equate with that?

Rusty Shackleford @ 18:

How does this equate to criticizing speeches Michelle O. made on the campaign trail?

So taking Bill Clinton’s words, editing them, taking them out of context and painting him as a racist is a-ok, but GOD FORBID the “The Chosen One’s” wife says something on the campaign trail and is criticized for it.

Obama Rulz #281, It’s we do it, it because we have to defend ourselves from “racist” attacks, but if it’s done to us,. it’s “low class.”

I guess we’ve heard the last of anything to do with Cindy McCain on C&L since it would be “low class” to attack her.

If such footage existed it would be out on YouTube or some other internet site by now. The idea that the R’s have some “secret tape” that constitutes an October Surprise is fatuous.

I don’t think either side will benefit from attacking the spouse of the candidate. Not when gas is over four bucks a gallon and milk is following close behind. Either side who wastes time attacking the others spouse is going to look shallow and petty.

Sounds to me like Obama is giving them fair warning. The GOP has been running filthy for years. There’s probably plenty of crap Obama can use to bury his enemies without ever bringing up their wives or families. He’ll be able to remain above the gossipy crap, and still cause major damage.

One can hope.

That is the name of the game and it the same game that Rove and the others love to play. I seriously doubt that any such tape exists. In fact, I am tempted to file it right next to the non-existant Iraq WMD.

I heard the Republicans put their party above the country, that they use god as a weapon and only pretend to believe he exists. I heard they put personal profit above all else and some would divorce their wives on their deathbeds if it meant they could have sex again. I also heard they are willing to send our troops into battle against a nation who were notonly once our allies against the enemy we are about to illegally invade but used them to invade them with first. I heard nothing, no crime be it murder or rape or torture is beneath them. If we can’t make a straightforward commercial out of that we just ain’t that smart.

But I thought the repugs were the “family values group?” At least Obama is still with his wive and not married to a husband stealing trollop like McCain is.

I do not believe the tape exists, but they are talking about it and making it appear that it does. They are stoking their own fire. If they talk about it long enough they will come to believe it is true. Sort of self applied brainwashing.

Rusty Shackleford @ 18:

In retrospect, that should probably be “husband-stealing drug addict.”

If candidate’s wives are going to be a campaign issue, maybe Cindy Mccain should release her long awaited tax returns.

The Cons don’t care about Cindy’s drugs or McCains Jet etc, etc.

All that matters to the Cons is winning. They learned from Clinton versus Bush Senior so be prepared for a full out ruthless assault.

Here’s the take on this over at Jack and Jill Politics:

http://www.jackandjillpolitics.....woman.html

Pay attention to what Obama was really saying in code speak. LOL

How long will we have to read you sorry ass Hillary supporters invent bullshit issues on Obama with hopes of bring him down to Hillary’s DOA campaign? Unlike McWar, who let the Republican party piss all over his wife Cindy and his reputation in South Carolina, Obama will regain even more respect for doing what any man should do by protecting his wife.

People really need to stop saying “And I think the American people will see…”.

Example, Obama says the attacks on his wife are ‘low class’… and ‘that the American people will see this.’

If that’s true, then why complain? Isn’t the cause for concern that politicians know the American people won’t see?!

Politicians shold start saying, “…And I’m here to remind the American people not to be conned into permitting these low class attacks to work, and to hold themselves and their policticians to a higher standard.”

I dunno, if such a tape existed it be worth a lot of money to be putting out for free on the internet.

I’ve been trying to get a copy of the 1910 Edison Studio Frankenstein for years, but the owner won’t release it, nor is it on youtube yet.

Overall though, the tape sounds like a reprise of the secret Marilyn Monroe diary.

why do Democrats presume that the Republicans are just going to turn over the surveillance and torture state apparatus to someone who would use it against them in either prosecutions, or persecutions/vendetta?

Nothing is going away. The system protects itself.

It’s good to see him stand up for his wife, something John Kerry didn’t have the guts to do in 2004 when the POS gop attacked his wife. As for wingnuts reactions, I care more about a worm under a rock in my backyard than anything those cretins think.

Yeah, look at how much respect Bill got for helping his.

It’s all politics, no morals apply.
The GOP attacks his wife, Obama uses the attack to retaliate. Give and take.
Maybe there was a time when spouses were protected (on moral grounds only), but no longer.
It’s going to get a lot uglier from both sides. I just hope Obama maintains the moral high ground. I think he will. This is one of the places where Hillary failed. John Kerry took the high ground and failed, so you just can’t call it.

Even if it did exist, why would anyone give a flying fig if she used the term “whitey” ? The reslugs have called Obama everything but that and that’s all fine and good as far as they’re concerned but if he so much as mispronounces someone’s name they’re on it like a pack of rabid dogs.

I can only wonder what they’re going to ’swift boat’ him with in the end if they’re already this deep in the muck and the official race hasn’t even started yet.
