The Drudge effect on the campaign

Pittsburgh Tribune Review ^ | Salena Zito

Clinton’s ‘gaffe’ earned her top billing on The Drudge Report in blood-red print, with capital letters and bold type.

This guy must have just discovered Drudge's site over the weekend. Drudge routinely uses bold and red color text.

FYI, Ms. Zito...

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton stepped in to fix that gaffe and said that Obama had mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald while telling his personal experience of a family soldier who served heroically.

Uncle, great uncle, Buchenwald, Auschwitz.....

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.

Drudge has a ‘crush’ on Obama. There is a pattern of behavior that is crystal clear, pay attention freepers or you might get sucked in by the not so subliminal seduction.

[King Hawk]

Obama could make 3,000 mistakes between now and November and it won’t matter to those prepared to vote for him. He’s an empty suit and those voting for him are empty headed. They care not about the facts!

[Thrownatbirth]

That Buchenwald, not Auschwitz, was liberated by the U.S. is walking-around knowledge for a man of Obama’s age and education. I bet his handlers in Moscow are not pleased.

They care not about the facts!

You couldn't be more correct.

All that matters is “Change”.
The Titanic changed directions too.

I sent drudge a flaming message yesterday saying he is in the tank for Obama. I asked why the story was not even on his website when it was all over the internet. This morning it is buried on his site. I know he hates the Clintons, but I am beginning to lose respect for the guy. He is drunk on his own Kool Aid and maybe Obama’s too.

Bill Burton? Wasn’t he Dan Rather’s source for the forged documents? So, that’s where he’s gone to....the Obama campaign. I’m surprised he couldn’t document Obama’s uncle (secret white guy, unknown brother to his white mother) and document that the US Army under Patton really liberated Auschwitz. See, I have documents!

[GOPJ]

The MSM would have given Obama the traditional "dem pass" on this if it hadn't been for Drudge.

Any gaff a Republican makes has always been caught and screamed from the highest MSM roof tops... so for us, nothing has changed.

Must be a horror for dems - having their lies exposed..

[marinamuffy]

I also sent a note to Drudge asking him why he is pushing the Obamessiah so hard. It’s nauseating!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

O.K., what specific unit was "great uncle" Charlie Payne in. Can anybody follow this up, and see if it's just another lie?

Liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp

The US Navy

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

And I take it he wasn’t a Seabee building and fighting in Europe either?

When you are running on empty after over a year of hard-core campaigning

Obama has been running on empty from Day One of this campaign.

[GreyFriar]

according to the Holocaust Museum and US Army, the 89th Infantry Division was given credit for liberating Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald on 4 Apr 1945. This means that some element of the division was at the camp. The Holocaust museum and the Army do not give credit to individual regiments, battalions or companies.

It's a good thing he never watches any of the cable media coverage of the campaigns - the rare times my wife and I are flipping through the TV channels and stop on CNN during their political panel show they have in the evening, it becomes a game of "spot the computer display with the Drudge Report".
