Obama's foes gather mud to sling (Barf Alert)
The Everett Herald ^ | May 25, 2008 | Dana Milbank

Here are some things we can look forward to learning about Barack Obama:

That he was mentored in high school by a member of the Soviet-controlled Communist Party.

That he launched his Illinois state Senate campaign in the home of a terrorist and a killer.

That while serving as a state senator, he was a member of a socialist front group.

That his affiliations are so dodgy that he would have trouble getting a government security clearance.

That there is reason to doubt his "loyalty to the United States."

These and many other implausible accusations were offered by a group of conservatives last week -- including a living relic from the House Committee on Un-American Activities -- in a Capitol Hill basement. The charges ranged from the absurd to the merely questionable, but anybody who watched the Swift Boat campaign of 2004 make John Kerry look like a war criminal knows that's not the point.

The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy took a blow with Hillary Clinton's exit. But it is regrouping, and finding plenty of sinister things to say about Obama -- even if he didn't trade cattle futures.

The group, assembled by something called America's Survival Inc., gathered in the basement of the Ebenezer Coffee House in Washington. They shared the stage with a big drum set, and posters documenting items they would seek to tie to Obama: an Students for a Democratic Society newsletter from 1969 (when he was 7), and a police killing from 1970 (when he was 8).

"We believe that any public figure with links to foreign and hostile interests should be asked to explain those associations,"....

"Implausible?" Surely they jest!

Poor Dana has had her head buried in the sand the last year or is suffering from multiple Obasms and is just not paying attention.

Some on the right say they have suspicions that the candidate has communist ties.

I have more than that.

The left wears only the darkest sunglasses and their favorite pet is the ostrich.

I believe there is a good chance Obama is a sleeper like the Manchurian Candidate put in place to take office as president and establish a communistic Islamic republic in America by using the expanded wartime powers the President possesses to overthrow the US Constitution and establish Sharia Law.

Obama can’t be the only secret Muslim agent, for one thing, they couldn’t know which ones would be successful enough in American society. There must be many, many more in business, government (federal, state and local), the military, in all walks of society. When the time is right, they will be ready to act to turn the world’s most powerful nation into an Islamic Republic. Once that’s done, the rest of the world will be forced to follow and the Caliphate will be reestablished.

Never forget.

Yes. It’s called “the stupid stuff he keeps saying”.

I'll be the first to admit I am not "getting" the tone of this supposed article. Either it's oddly and badly written or I'm missing something here, LOL.

This is a classic counter to the bad news they know is coming, throw it all out with a focus on the ludicrous, then when the facts start coming out dismiss it as old news or a vast right wing conspiracy while repeating that it is all ludicrous.

It’s not “mud-slinging” if it’s the truth. How in the world did the Democrat Party think this shady character would be acceptable to the American people?

The truth must be exposed. Since the leadership of the GOP won’t do it and the MSM, the willing accomplices of the Socialist Liberals won’t, then it’s up to Conservatives some way, somehow! Our country and our way of life and our freedom is at stake, IMO.

My buddy in AZ is a die hard Democrat, yet will not vote Obama. His stand is the old; War for oil, Bush lied, Bush stole it, Halliburton, global warming (even though he drives an H2 and a dump truck). Dems are racists, this vote will show it.

Only because liberals, for some strange reason, prefer instead to know as little as possible about their candidates, for fear they will find something not to their liking.

Clinton dropped out of the primary race? I didn't know that.

It's not like it is really difficult to gather dirt on Obama. The MSM just chooses not to be real investigative journalist and reporters. They are pathetic.

If there were not any “mud” to find, I suspect there would not be a problem. Trouble is, there is way to much mud and not to bring it out is stupid. Live a clean life and be a good person and therefore, no mud, no problem. Anyone running for office that has skeletons in their closet, beware, they will be found. Count on it.

...we don’t have to make stuff up. We can just go to his website.

Remember how angry you were that Bush said we shouldn’t talk to our enemies and you thought it meant Obama? His own website says that that is his plan.

I have more (but you libs won’t care...)

They shouldn’t be too quick to throw out Hillary Clinton. She’s one mean and nasty barracuda that won’t leave until she gets the nomination. It’s her way or no way.
