BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Great Moments of the 2008 Campaign

Great Moments of the 2008 Campaign


Just to get one more political thing out of the way before I post a longish personal rambling I mostly wrote 2 days ago and saved as a draft when I ran out of gas that night... I enjoyed this run down of the various anti-Obama "news" bits from the past couple of months. They're very well presented, and the post extensively documents the credible coverage they received on various quite prominent right wing blogs. If there's a summation possible, it's that no slanderous, insane rumor about Obama was too much for the wingnut bloggers to believe, support, or outright invent.

And yes, I'll be laughing out the other side of my face when I, along with the rest of America's "whities" wake up in a re-education camp to cure me of my non-blackness and non-Muslimness come the Obamessiah's glorious reign.

Stories pushed relentlessly by various prominent right wing blogs and news sites include: Obama was involved in domestic terrorism bombings during his college years at Columbia, Ayers ghostwrote Obama's first book, Michelle Obama has ranted against "whitey" to the media, to a crowd including Louis Farrakhan, and to an African media outlet, Obama cheated with a campaign staffer and then banished her to the Caribbean so she couldn't talk, Obama was born in Indonesia and/or Africa and has a forged Hawaiian birth certificate, Obama enjoyed a sexual liason with a pedophile when he was 9, Obama has gay sex on cocaine in limos, and much, much more.

Who knew? And you thought the right wing witch hunt against Clinton paralyzed the nation during the 1990s? You ain't seen nothing yet. Imagine if Clinton had been black, the right wing had just been booted from power after running almost everything for 8 years, and needed a new enemy to focus on? I don't think the circular firing squad will last more than a month or two after the coming election day debacle(s). By the inauguration in January, they'll be all over their mourning period of blaming McCain for being insufficiently strident, and will be ready to go back into attack mode against Obama and the Democratic house/senate. It'll be insane, but at least Sadly No will have no shortage of mockable material.


On the other hand... maybe we just shouldn't let white people vote at all?



I would give any amount of money to have this woman quizzed, on camera, on the actual content of the Bible. With a knowledgeable theologian on duty to explain why she was wrong about everything she thought she believed. She'd still vote for McCain against Obama, but the humor of such a presentation would be well worth the investment.

Stop the presses! There are untruths on the internet!

For every slander against Obama dredged from every corner of the blogosphere, The Daily Kos alone propagates 10 against the Republican ticket.

What needs to be looked at are the falsehoods in major media outlets, the most recent example of which is Drew Griffin's misquote of a conservative National Review article in his interview with Palin.

...Unfortunately, my political memory lasts all of three days or else I'd be even handed and mention some falsehood I've heard about Obama. But you get the point.


 

It astounds me how comfortable people can be with being racist.
