Obama rips Fox News
POlitico.com ^ | 8/20/08 | KENNETH P. VOGEL

Posted on 08/20/2008 6:18:12 PM PDT by hole_n_one

LYNCHBURG, Va. — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) personally went on the attack Wednesday on a best-selling new book that falsely describes him as a closet Muslim.

Talking about "The Obama Nation," Obama said author Jerome Corsi was just making "stuff up."

“But it gets a lot of play on Fox News,” he said to loud boos.

The news network has interviewed Corsi.

Obama said GOP attackers have "been very good at campaigning,” and he added that they'd try to make him out to be scary and risky.

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

Notice “he’s” not on Fox News.

It's not like he doesn't have an open invitation over there. I know that O'Reilly has been clamoring for him to show up on "The Factor" (yeah, yeah, I know, most FReepers can't stand B O'R, but he DOES bring in the ratings on FNC).

Still, we need to cross our fingers and hope the Obamination doesn't self-destruct over the next 7 or 8 days, however. I won't believe he's in the seat until I see his "I have a scheme" speech at Invesco next week. Then, of course, I expect all he!! to break loose on him.

That wasn't my take at all although you could take it that way if you wanted to I suppose. I thought it was pretty blah overall, just sold it on eBay in fact :)

OUCH!!!

We need a new rule - anyone who posts a pic of Helen Thomas must post at least three warnings prior to posting her phizz, so we have forewarning and eyes may be quickly and safely averted.

Actually, I didn’t say that “closet Muslim” are Obama’s words either.

They are the words of Kenneth Vogel, the author of the post on Politico on which this thread is based. Scroll back up to the top and read the first sentence of the Politico article.

I’m just commenting that the article starts off with a factually incorrect assertion by an author purporting to convey the contents of Corsi’s book.

Also, I’ve been baptized in a church and I don’t know how I would go about proving it. I accept that Obama was baptized at Trinity.

Yes, it is a great file. He has the news long before anyone else just about.
He could have written an exposure book on Obama and it would probably have been better than any out today.

It’s a great source of info/ammunition for us internet warriors.

How do I spell desperation?

Attempting to copy cat McCain’s strategy of attacking the media.

That's because you love Socialism and don't mind seeing us surrender to our enemies, doofus.

"John McCain is the luckiest guy to be running for President in American History."

Not really. People are seeing their gas and food prices rising. And Russia getting pissed off after Kosovo's independence. And Poland getting a few batteries of Patriot missiles or PAC-3s. Probably on a C-5 Galaxy right now. And Russia doesn't like that. There is dangerous chit going on and people are paying attention.

The unedited version of the FNC video of this latest tantrum by Obama also has him mentioning, once again, Spears and Hilton.

That one really got under his skin.

Guess Obama is worried that the next thing ‘they’ll’ do is mention he’s black.

This man is a nutcase in need of psych services.

True, had Russia been a danger in 92, I don’t think the Bill would have won..
