Newsmax.com – Analysis: Palin Smears Intensify

Quote:

During the Republican National Convention last Wednesday, Palin mentioned how the media was covering her, and angry Republicans began screaming “NBC, NBC, NBC.”

NBC News, once considered the gold standard of broadcast news, has become so closely associated with the Obama campaign that it even replaced veteran news anchors for the two conventions with Democratic pundits Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

The network’s slanted coverage of the GOP became such an embarrassment that the network this past Sunday removed both Olbermann and Matthews as its election news anchors.

The pro-Obama bias has not only affected Palin and the GOP. During one Democrat debate earlier this year, Sen. Hillary Clinton referenced a “Saturday Night Live” sketch that showed CNN moderators bending over backwards to help Obama.

It's about time they do something about the blatant bias.

That's right Diversity... because we know there was no smear and slander towards Obama, now was there.

Or should I look up your posts for the past three months.

Funny how when the shoe is on the other foot, it's a different game.

Goodness, it wasn't "smears" it was just lip gloss for him and none of the mainstream media even gives it the light of day. Oh, what glossy smears were untrue about him?

Where to start

1. He was a Muslim

2. His birth certificate was invalid (forged)

3. He attended a Whabbist school

4. His father was a radical Muslim (Yup, separate from #1)

5. He refuses to say the Pledge

6. He wants to change the National Anthem

7. Rezko helped him get a home on the cheap

8. He refused to see troops in Iraq

9. The "whitey" reference

10. His name is Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama

There's ten of them. I can give you sources for EVERY SINGLE ONE. Where do they come from? The same place that the attacks upon Palin are coming from.

Oh, and none of the media gave it the light of day? Really...

Now, I want to see you refute these or concede the argument. Are you woman enough?

1. He was a Muslim

He just talked about "his Muslim faith".... For such an "eloquent" speaker he sure screws up alot!

He was enrolled as a muslim in school in Indonesia...
2. His birth certificate was invalid (forged)

This was untrue and was never covered by mainstream media at all. But...... why no seal on the "copy" given out? Mine sure shows a seal, even when copied!
3. He attended a Whabbist school

Never seen much on this either.
4. His father was a radical Muslim (Yup, separate from #1)

His stepfather was a radical Muslim.

5. He refuses to say the Pledge

Video's showing this all over utube. Do you want me download for you?6. He wants to change the National Anthem

In his own words:

“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,” Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.”

7. Rezko helped him get a home on the cheap

Well, duh... Look at what he paid for his house and the property next to it! That's a pretty well known FACT.

Obama bought a mock Georgian mansion on Chicago's Soutfi side on June 15, 2005, the same day Rezko's wife bought a plot next door from the same seller. Obama then purchased from Rezko another parcel at above-market value. Federal prosecutors recently revealed that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire who lives in London, wired $3.5 million to the financially strapped Rezko in Chicago less than a month before the Obama-Rezko purchases. James Bone, investigative reporter for the Times of London, wrote last month that "the money transfer raises the question of whether funds" from Auchi "helped" Obama buy his house.

Heck, even people of the same party (dems) have question this. Need I say Hillary???
8. He refused to see troops in Iraq

Another duh... If the camera's aren't rollin' he ain't gonna show. It wasn't a smear job, it was the truth.
9. The "whitey" reference

Well, that would be Michelle!
10. His name is Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama

Isn't Hussein enough????

Comedy Central is mainstream media??? I guess I was thinking of supposedly "real news" such MSNBC!

Of course! Was there ever any doubt?

PolitiFact | Obama's birth certificate: Final chapter

Quote:

Now I can call BS on this. You say you haven't heard about the Wahbbist school, but only a few lines up you say: "He was enrolled as a muslim in school in Indonesia..." which in itself is a complete lie. PolitiFact | Obama attended an Indonesian public school

Quote:

His stepfather was a radical Muslim.

Blatant lie. He was a muslim (read: was) but never a radical. Lolo Soetoro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blatant lie #2: PolitiFact | Photo was taken during anthem, not pledge

Quote:

“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,” Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.

Blatant lie #3: PolitiFact | Obama e-mail: It's not The Real Thing Your "his own words" was sourced from a piece of satire turned chain mail.

Three strikes and you're out supposedly. However you keep going... and so shall I!

Blatant lie #4, but at least you get the next-door-neighbor part right.

PolitiFact | There's no "gotcha" here

Another lie from you! PolitiFact | Event was delayed as group talked to troops

Debunked!

Quote:

Well, that would be Michelle!

And it never happened. There is no tape. Never existed. That's why the smear died. Michelle Malkin Where is the purported Michelle Obama “whitey” video?

Quote:

Isn't Hussein enough????

For what, a driver's license? A voter registration? A nametag? Oh... you mean to connect him to the evil Muslims! I gotcha...

PolitiFact | No Muhammed or Mohammed in Obama?s name

So... now that I have completely wiped out ALL of your arguments (I told you I have sources for EVERYTHING), are you ready to concede, or shall I continue to make you into entertainment for this board?

Looks like you've been drinking the Kool-Aid by the barrel! You believe ALL these falsified smears.

Oh, and before you try to criticize Politifact... PolitiFact | Let?s ban this list

They are unbiased.

westernmom · 09-11-2008, 04:18 AM

I also seen politifact and it's "people" who check our their facts. Wikipedia is as left wing as you get as is snopes. I prefer checking mulitiple sites and actually watching and reading the real stories. Such as Obama and Georgie when he said "my Muslim faith". I happened to be watching at the time and Georgie quickly threw in "Christian". Why would eloquent Obama make such a mistake? It threw me!

I would never say oh my "Catholic faith" if I were never Catholic!

Besides, all you can come up with is a few attacks and he has been campaigning for years. Palin's attacks have been coming at about 10 different ones per day!

It's all in what you want to believe. I watch his "associates" and few friends and how he has to dis-associate himself with them all and wonder, hmmmmmm.... Can I trust this guy??? I'll take a woman holding a rifle any day!!!
