Last week, the campaign of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama announced that it had established a “war room” to battle rumors spread on the Internet and amplified by other media reporting. Obama supporters will use a website titled “Fight the Smears” to identify allegedly untrue statements about their candidate and provide evidence in an effort to refute them. That sounds like a good public relations strategy, but the implementation will ultimately have a negative impact on Obama.
The campaign employs the Media Matters for America model for dealing with so-called “smears.” In fact, Obama’s war room uses the George Soros-funded organization to discern “misinformation.” Then Obama’s “flying monkeys,” a reference to creatures from the children’s classic “Wizard of Oz”, attack the source or any media outlet, talk radio host, online discussion forum or blogger that makes reference to it.
Obama’s flying monkeys are targeting the National Press Club (of which I am a member) because a man named Larry Sinclair reserved a meeting room to hold a press conference on Wednesday, June 18. Earlier this year, Sinclair released a YouTube video in which he made claims about sharing sex and drugs with Barack Obama. A lefty blogger has circulated a petition and launched a telephone campaign urging the National Press Club not to allow Sinclair to speak there.
The charges do not sound credible, however the ferocity with which Obama’s flying monkeys are trying to silence Sinclair gives me pause. If this guy is a lunatic or liar as his critics say, what better forum to discredit him than before the Washington press corps?
Obama’s flying monkeys have flooded the National Press Club blogs with their typically vicious and obscene comments. This is the part that will ultimately damage Barack Obama. The candidate of “hope” and “change” cannot have his hateful minions ferociously attack anyone who criticizes him.
I have a great deal of experience with the Media Matters goon squad and its acolytes. Their vitriol is as caustic today as it was in January 2005 when I first asked “The Question.” There has been no limit to their smears, libel and slander.
Barack Obama may be a gentle man, but he has surrounded himself with questionable characters like corrupt developer Tony Rezko, racists Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger, domestic terrorist William Ayers and terrorist-supporting Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, to name just a few.
The Founding Fathers thought freedom of speech was so important that they enshrined it in the First Amendment. To the Left however, free speech is only for those who share its point of view. Anyone who disagrees, the Left seeks to silence through speech codes or intimidation.
America is going to get a close-up view of how those on the Left view the basic freedoms they claim to cherish courtesy of Obama’s flying monkeys.
I agree, they always hang themselves. They’re too dumb to avoid that fate. I just hate it when they try to hang the rest of us with them!!
Sorry, if I came across the wrong way. I stay pretty level headed on lots of things, and that tends to make me come across as sympathetic sometimes. Barry and his ilk are dangerous, and if you have any doubt as to my opinion of him, check out my blog: http://politicalxfile.blogspot.com/
I think you’ll find I’m the anti-Obama. :-D
Comment:
OK, I accept that and will quit with the somewhat snide replies.
I am more afraid of Obama’s danger to America than I have ever been of a presidential candidate.
The Democrat party could have chosen many other more qualified Black candidates to carry their mantel but instead chose a person with a very checkered past of radical associations with people who are no better in my estimation than human feces.
The first statement on their website IS a lie. Same old same old, Democrats lie.
Don't tell me you mean... the New York Times!?
Don’t insult Curious George like that! I happen to like that little guy.
