Strike Three: Cutter Lies Again About 'Cancer' Ad
Townhall.com ^ | August 20, 2012 | Guy Benson

Posted on 08/20/2012 3:59:10 PM PDT by Kaslin

Let's review the timeline, shall we?  After the Obama campaign pioneered a nasty and non-factual attack linking Mitt Romney to the death of a cancer-stricken woman, the president's officially-endorsed SuperPAC (operated by a former White House spokesman) repeated the transcendently false story in a television ad.  The spot is running in swing-states as part of a $20 million buy.  Despite universal criticism from media outlets and fact-checkers, the Obama campaign refused to condemn the hit, as numerous surrogates denied knowledge of -- and ducked responsibility for -- the smear.  Chief among the 'don't-blame-us' crowd was Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter, who told CNN that she didn't know any specifics about the family tragedy featured in the ad.  She lied.  It soon emerged that she'd hosted an official campaign conference call with the woman's husband, Joe Soptic, in May -- during which he relayed the account of his wife's passing.  Audio of the call, complete with Cutter thanking Soptic for sharing his story, provided open-and-shut evidence of Cutter's falsehood. On ABC News' This Week yesterday morning, host Jake Tapper confronted Cutter on this -- shall we say -- honesty disconnect:
  Obama Campaign Doesn't Tell The Truth About Knowledge Of Super PAC Ad
The Romney campaign simply clipped together Cutter's chuckling "who me?" routine with the audio of the call she hosted on May 14th.  The truth is laid out plainly for all to see, yet Cutter brazenly chooses to deny, deny, deny.  Rather than sheepishly apologize -- or at least concoct some sort of follow-up spin to explain the previous misstatement -- she stares into the camera, laughs, and repeats the exact same story.  She behaves as if the evidence with which she's being called out doesn't exist.  It's extraordinary to watch; I'm not sure what else to call this woman other than a liar.  George Will may not have been too far off with his use of the word "sociopathic." Though Cutter clearly hasn't updated her mendacious talking points on the 'cancer' ad, she has hit the refresh button on Medicare.  Last week she hailed Obama's $716 Billion in Medicare cuts as an "achievement," even as David Axelrod called the charge a Republican "lie."  (The president himself has confirmed the cuts on national television).  Cutter has re-calibrated her version of the truth to echo Axe's distortion.  Let's play Cutter vs. Cutter:

EXPOSE THE LIES, LIBERALISM DIES. Obama looks desperate, dazed and confused in the press conference. Like he knew he was losing and wanted to get out of dodge before Marshall Dillon came back to town. And that may be the first thing he has been right about since his fraudulent election.

She behaves as if the evidence with which she's being called out doesn't exist.

As long as the media buries it, the evidence doesn't matter.

“Obama looks desperate, dazed and confused in the press conference. Like he knew he was losing and wanted to get out of dodge before Marshall Dillon came back to town”

Unfortunately, the IMPRESSION the sheeple will see is much, MUCH different.

CBS Evening News devoted a FULL EIGHT MINUTES to the Aiken/Rape story tonight, with a segway in to a couple of news conference bites, therefore they “Covered” it.

We forget, at our peril, that THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA still sets the meme, not truth, or reality.

Obama takes another page from Leinin’s playbook - repeat a lie often enough, and people begin to believe it’s the truth.

This phony baloney is part and parcel of Obama’s whole approach to the presidency for the past four years.

Trouble is, it won him the office to begin with and, IMO, given that a substabtial number of American voters are out-and-out morons, might just win the office again.

If that happens, Katie bar the door - there would be nothing between the Democrats and full-blown State Socialism.

I thought Nora O'Donnell was going to have a freaking orgasm when she was talking about the distraction this issue has caused for Romney/Ryan.

Stephanie Cutter exhibits sociopathic tendencies. Just like Barack Obama, who clearly is a sociopath. He has many of the traits, including being a liar, drug abuser, promiscuity (Larry Sinclair), grandiosity, arrogance, and on and on.

Here’s an account of a then young woman who claims she was raped by
admitted bisexual Bill Ayers…

From “Remembering a Sixties Terrorist” ...

Obama’s pal Ayers was another sexually sick SOB.

From the New York Times, September 11, 2001:

“He [Bill Ayers] also writes about the Weathermen’s sexual experimentation as they tried to ‘smash monogamy.’The Weathermen were ‘an army of lovers,’ he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend.”

“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at”

– Bill Ayers (1970),

quoted in New York Times, September 11, 2001:
Source:

New York Times, September 11, 2001:

“No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives;

In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen”

From “Remembering a Sixties Terrorist”

-by Donna Ron

FrontPageMagazine.com | Wednesday, January 04, 2006:

“...when I was getting ready to leave [Bill] Ayers told me I couldn’t go until I slept with his roommate and his brother. At this point Bill and I had slept together just once. I was sexually inexperienced, having had only one serious boyfriend with whom I had recently broken up.

At first I thought Ayers was joking. I got up; and went to the door. He moved quickly to block me at the doorway. He locked the door and put the chain on it.

I went to the couch and sat down and told him that I had no intention of having sex with his roommate and his brother or him.

He (Bill Ayers) said that I had no choice but to do as he said if I wanted to get out of there.

He claimed that I wouldn’t sleep with his married roommate because he was black — that I was a bigot.

I got up from the couch and walked over to the black roommate’s bed and put myself on it and he ****** me.

I went totally out of my body. I floated beside myself on the outside and above the bed looking at this black stranger **** me angrily while I hated myself.”

What did Bill Ayers “longtime” buddy Barack Hussein Obama Junior say regarding the Todd Akin comments on TV?

“Rape is Rape!”

- Why are both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama so facinated and protective of homosexuals and radical homo groups and why did Obama “suddenly evolve” and “come out” for same-sex marriage?

- I think we all have a clue....
