The Obama Slime Machine--Targeting Opponents' Families is Standard Operating Procedure
Oh the hugevanity | 9/2/08 | Antoninus

Posted on 09/02/2008 1:35:50 PM PDT by Antoninus

Putting aside Barack Obama's pious statements about family being "off limits", let us not forget that in every one of his major campaigns, Obama has benefited from information on opponents' family affairs leaking out via the media.

In 2004, his surrogates in the Chicago media managed to get George Ryan's sealed divorce records unsealed in 2004, causing Ryan to drop out of the race.

Later, when Ryan was replaced on the ticket by by Alan Keyes, surprise! it was revealed that Keyes's teenaged daughter Maya was a homosexual.

So is this just a coincidence that Sarah Palin's family was viciously slimed within 72 hours of her being picked as the VP candidate? Not likely. What we're seeing here is standard operating procedure from team Obama.

And it stinks to high heaven.

I'm sick of apologizing for the GOP candidates. Surprisingly enough, they're human and have human problems. Obama, on the other hand, is the media's golden idol who can do no wrong--even when he does.

Obama and his cretinous minions in the media need to be utterly and completely defeated in November.

If you're sick of all this media BS, you can give it back to them in spades by volunteering at your local McCain/Palin office or online.

Make a leftwing reporter cry.

I wonder if folks realize that Obama is reliving history. Wasn’t it a wanna be messiah who had his thugs burn the Reichstag “on the down low”, and then use it as pretext for his own ascendency?

Apparently “The Wealth of Nations” isn’t the only book on Obama’s shelf. Obviously “Mein Kampf” and “The Prince” are up there as well.

The news media is using pious soundbites from the Obama campaign in an attempt to provide him deniability & distance him from the slime his proxies are engaged in.

If there is any justice in this world people will see just what kind of lowlife huckster this guy really is.

It has been 48 years.

Those votes for Nixon, in the lost ballot boxes, have disintegrated in these waters by now.
The Daley machine, under the "capable" hand of the son, have a new target...

Are we talking the Obama tactic, or a Hilary tactic, or the Democratic tactic in general?

Somebody with better knowledge of Chicago politics than I could help me with this name. Didn’t Obama use his political connections to blow a seasoned black woman out of the running for the Illinois state senate seat? Kinda like Hillary did to Nita Lowey in NY.

Am I the only one that sees this? Is Barak the Anti-Christ? I mean, he is loves by the ones who reject God, and can do no wrong? Even though obviously he is a slime bag?

BHO wants to be leader of the free world. Apparently, he can't even lead his own rabid supporters (if you believe him, when he says families are off-limits).

I’ve wondered that myself. His climb to the presidency has been rather phenomenal. People look to him as Messiah. Hmmm. DOES make you wonder...

Got a link? It's long past time that this guy's shady political past is brought out into the light.

That was Alice Palmer. Obama knocked ALL of his primary opponents (including her) off the ballot by challenging their signatures on their petitions to run.

IOW, he won his seat not by letting the voters choose, but by playing the system so he could run unopposed.

I think the McCain lawyers should find out who posted that piece on Daily Kos insisting that Sarah is not Trig’s mother. If it traces back to anyone connected to Obama, that would be very useful to know.

A poster on another site claims the author is a high-level Obama advisor. I have no idea if this is true, but again, it is time to find out.

Exactly, the Obama/Axelrod sleaze machine are past masters at sliming opponents families, they specialize in it, that is what they do.

Obama said the same pap yesterday about leaving the Palin Family alone that he did about the Ryan Family in 2004.

Meanwhile they were feeding the Tribune all of the gory details from the Ryan’s divorce, this is no accident it is their stock in trade.
