Obama Keeps Distorting ''Born Alive'' Vote
townhall.com ^ | September 19, 2008 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 09/20/2008 5:58:40 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Barack Obama’s campaign has a new advertisement up that accuses John McCain of “lying” about Obama’s opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, a bill to protect babies who survived abortion.

The only problems are that McCain never leveled the charge and the charge isn’t a lie.

Is this really news? As though this hasn’t been happening for the past several months:

1) McCain says something true
2) Obama calls it a lie,
3) Media smears McCain as a liar
4) Repeat.

The liberals treat Roe v. Wade like they cherish it about all else. Obama and the other liberals seems to think that abortion (aka as infanticide, homicide and America’s Holocaust) is so important that they are willing to lie and be deceptive about it.

Honestly, do these people even have souls? How could they support such a barbaric and horrific practice as abortion?

Thanks for the link! Yeah, I’ve seen that video before and it was very powerful! Jill Stanek is an amazing person and I commend her for speaking out against this barbaric practice.

I’ve also heard of Obama’s atrocious voting record on abortion and that is a major reason why I am not voting for him.

I saw the ad tonight here in Ohio and it makes me angry that Obama’s team are blatantly distorting his record on the infants born alive legislation. Anybody who supports abortion on demand (or, in this case, post-birth abortion)will not stop at anything to lie about it to the public. Shameful!

This needs to be treated as an opening to get out of the economic sqaubble and deluge Obama with the details of his salacious voting past. He’ll go into full fledged defense mode. Start with a hard hitting ad exposing Obama’s BAIPA opposition and calling him out for trying to spin his support against protecting infants. Then use the planned barrenhood clip of Obama saying matter-of-factly, “But I supported it (kindergarten sex-ed) because it’s the right thing to do.” Go through a roundhouse of commericials. Obama voted against a human cloning ban, and then for it. Obama voted against blocking porn from school and library computers. Against barring criminal sex offenders early release. There’s a lot of material out there.

Obama will go dizzy with righteous indignation. A sight to see!

At the end of the ad series, put the tagline, “Obama has called these ads sleazy. We agree. Obama’s record IS sleazy.”

Norm,, his vote on the born alive act is the most glaring of all those he ever made.

We can not count on the media to bring it up. I would find it hard to believe it would not be brought up in the debates but if it is not brought up there and if Mc does not, they someone has to.

Liberals always hate it when you tell the truth about them. Shed light on their positions. They know they are out of the mainstream but they think its Progressive politics. Idiots.

They should bring it up now with an ad. Start it with, “Obama is distorting his record on PBA/protecting life...but here’s the truth...” (I wouldn’t yet use the word infanticide, though that is what it is.)

2) Obama calls it a lie, 3) Media smears McCain as a liar

The rats obviously had a meeting not so long a go and decided to jump up and down screaming "liar" at every occasion. It worked so well for them and Larry O'Donnell in '04 they decided to try it again.

It's a poor strategy. People with brains realize all politicians spin facts to favor their position. They realize the one screaming "liar" is one to be viewed with suspicion.

Keep it up guys! And while your at it, keep penning columns trashing Sarah Palin as white trash.

“Obama is distorting his record on Abortion, but here’s the truth...”

Abortion is the word I would use. And then describe what can only be viewed as infanticide. It will do us good because it then connects “abortion” to what is even (if possible) more hideous, infanticide, without ever having to use the word.
