DNC Chairman Denies Obama Admin Requested Christ Symbol Cover-Up
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/17/2009 5:51:07 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Is this the new politics Barack Obama promised to bring to Washington? His hand-picked DNC Chairman just went on national TV and claimed the Obama administration never requested Georgetown to cover up the IHS monogram representing the name of Christ. Confronted with a CNSNews.com article flatly reporting that such a request had indeed been made, Tim Kaine resorted to the hoary dodge of claiming he hadn't seen the story. Adding insult to injury, Kaine even claimed to be ignorant of CNSNews.com itself, NewsBusters' sister organization.

Kaine made his credulity-busting claims during a Morning Joe appearance today.

Obama was afraid of being upstaged by the real Messiah.

I don’t get the big hub bub.

If they didn’t cover it up and pictures of the event were sent ‘round the world with IHS above Obama’s head, you would all be in a tizzy.

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. Think, please.

Actually, it’s probably a good idea to cover it or the msm would be falling all over themselves doing the halo and the almighty one pictures.

???

Perhaps you should "think".

The problem people are having is that he defaulted to being concerned with the "damned if he doesn't" side of the equation.

Simple enough for you?

“DNC Chairman Denies Obama Admin Requested Christ Symbol Cover-Up”

So, therefore, it must be true. Obama’s a muslim and is disgusted with Christian symbols. Why don’t they just admit it??????

If Obama was concerned about not being seen as a Christ-like figure, he should have asked to have the speech held in another room. You do not ask a religious institution to hide its most cherished symbols.

I believe him. Who would expect anyone on Obama’s staff to even understand what IHS meant anyway? This from the administration whose Sec’y of State asked who painted the Vigrin of Guadelupe.

Correct. And I think any future requests will be denied.
