Being the skeptic that I am, I’m starting to believe that Obama’s “new rumor-busting site” is where these rumors start. The same people who start the rumors quickly de-bunk them in an effort to immunize their boy against anything that might come down the pike. Typical Commie tactics.
Interesting take on it. You may be right. Through his contacts with ACORN and other Chicago leftist pressure groups, Obama was schooled in the tactics of Saul Alinsky, who was one of the cleverest, wiliest, nastiest and most vicious Marxists ever. BO is not very bright and knows nothing about anything: except politics. He learned his lessons well.
Obama's naivety is showing, the best thing to do with unfounded rumors is to ignore them. By having his website, he just repeats them.
This is one of the many reasons I don't fear him being elected. Either he's too dumb to be, or he has zero chance of governing if McCain does a worse job of getting elected.
You are so very right with your post #6. That is exactly what the Obama campaign is doing and it is very obvious.
The campaign may just get away with this tactic, if they do, we are screwed.
With what has been flying around lately, I've been thinking the same thing myself for a while. Who benefits from this? Obama will.
Won't be too long before the Obama camp will be able to sneer at any rumor. No one will believe the ones that are true, the public having been desensitized by the constant stream of outrageous stuff.
I agree.
