Loading ...Panamanian Born, Pro Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants Republican Senator’s Staffers Berate MSM For Refusing To Publish Either Poorly-Researched OR Intentional Baldface Misrepresentations Of Obama-Biden Histories And Relationships — You Be The Judge Which One…
Can anybody say FactCheck time for the Señor McCain-Señora Palin Camp?
When The Politico; a growing online blog/e-zine corrected a bunch of misstatements made by whiny American and J. Sidney McCain strategist Steve Schmidt regarding Barry Obama and Joe Biden; apparently in response to the many lies/poorly-researched claims by Team McCain lately, McCain staffers could not resist the urge to tell the right-leaning blog they are clearly “in the tank”. What? No Comprendé, Señor.
But hey, let’s just run with this for a moment — I suppose Fox News is “in the tank” for Team Obama as well for doing the same — i.e., calling Team McCain out on their extremely misleading campaign commercials and statements lately? Oh, and we can go ahead and add even Karl Rove himself to that growing list of “in the tank for Obama” folks who are tiring of the misrepresentations -slash- poorly-researched claims going on in McCain-Land these days while we’re at it.
But, yannow — HEY — I’m not going to say the McCain Camp’s emergency “whiney American” meeting to criticize the so-called “leftwing media” for failing to report the “facts” in the manner Señor J. Sidney’s team believes they should be reported is based upon a “intentional baldfaced misrepresentation of the facts” strategerie. I’m going with the “poorly-researched facts” assumption here instead since McCain enthusiasts frequently go on the record to accuse independent fact-checking organizations as being “left-wing organizations” combined with the fact Juan Sidney and even his top E-Commerce “guru” (Mark Soohoo) barely know how to turn their computers on in the first place.
Most likely, somebody in the Señor J. Sidney McCain Paŕa Èl Presidenté Campaign organization has accidentally stumbled across a “C” blog or two from the right and figured they were reading The Washington Times or The New York Post and said “See here!!? Look at these guys (Obama-Biden)!!! Let’s plaigerize some of this and make campaign ads and speeches from this material!!!” If you put this past any of these “campaign gurus” of McCain’s, I advise you to THINK AGAIN.
Folks, again — that Politico “fact-check” article is a “must read” as it takes one deeply into the minds of those who so badly wish for America to elect this nation’s OLDEST FIRST-TERM PRESIDENT IN HISTORY; the nation’s FIRST PANAMANIAN BORN U.S. CITIZEN (?); they are willing to stoop to any low; give up their day gigs to work full-time; they’re willing to become a “convention of whiners” (isn’t that what Phil Gramm calls these types of Americans?) in addition to all of the above.
Like Ben Smith of The Politico says:
“… The errors in McCain strategist Steve Schmidt’s charges against Obama and Sen. Joe Biden were particularly notable because they seemed unnecessary. Schmidt repeatedly gilded the lily: He exaggerated the Biden family’s already problematic ties to the credit card industry; Obama’s embarrassing relationship with a 1960s radical; and an Obama supporter’s over-the-top attack on Sarah Palin when — in each case — the truth would have been damaging enough. …”
Again — I disagree with Mr. Ben Smith here — I don’t believe these are intentional exxagerations. Nope, I believe the Señor John Sidney McCain Paŕa Èl Presidenté Campaign’s top Intenets-Literate staffer must have figured out how to check his/her email and found my recommendation to click on this link to go to where the REAL “Truth” can be found at The Truth Laid Bear’s “Insignificant Microbes” section…
Then again, perhaps I’m giving these people too much credit.

Other favorite reactions (just “snips” — PLEASE read in their entirety):
“… We’re all in the tank. Anyone asking a fricking question is “in the tank.” …
“… At some point it is going to settle in with the media that when the Republicans said they were making their own reality,what they really meant was that they were going to lie about everything. …”
“Steve Schmidt needs his diapers changed, apparently. …”
“… Here’s hoping that today’s outburst was an aberration and not a sign that the campaign will be shutting down its press shop for good.”
“… These attacks on the media show once again how McCain/Palin seems far too much like a replay of Nixon/Agnew. I’m still waiting for them to attack the media as an effete corps of impudent snobs or nattering nabobs of negativism. While these attacks on the media will excite the far right base, most rational people will see through them. …”
Ya have to love all the material the McCain campaign is offering political writers like us! We can’t even make the stuff up anymore and now we have to just quote the McCain camp? Damn it!!!!
LOL… leave it to m’ twin brutha from another mutha to “get it”, Mat
It’s all about keeping the wingtards and Klanservatives stirred up. Johnny’s probably got people around him who have figured out by now that Sarahpoleon is actually going to create a few Obama voters where there were none before, so about all they have left is to keep the ‘tards disciplined. Since no wingtard ever misses an election, they are a formidable force right off the bat.
I’m personally quite shocked to hear that a fine member of our political class would distort an opponents record. Thank god there is the refuge of the internet, were none of that sort of thing occurs.
Being in the tank for a candidate or not being in the tank for a candidate is immaterial in the modern day era of political gamesmanship.
Andrew Sullivan has Aids. He also is not an American Citizen and yet actively attempts to influence our politics as if he IS a citizen. Surely one must realize he has an agenda. He was a Bush advocate for a short while because Bush has been the only politician on the planet to do something About aids.
The Article you referred us to at Politico is certainly written with the intention to call McCain a liar while glossing over as lies any misstatements about Obama that the McCain campaign might have made.
The facts are that Joe Bidens son was a lawyer for a law firm raking in Millions in asbestos lawsuits. Joe Biden voted AGAINST the settlement that would have awarded large settlements to each member without going thru individual years long lawsuits to get their money. That is fact. What is innuendo or SPIN is that his sons law firm would suffer huge monetary losses if this settlement was agreed to. Did he vote no because of that reason Or did he have some other more benign reason?
Fact GWB was in the Air National Guard and his military record was less then Stellar. Fact…Barak Obama and Joe Biden neither served in the Military at all. Spin..Biden was turned down for service because of health reasons. Should not his medical records be exposed as are the records of Senator McCain?
The facts are that two key economic advisors for Barak Obama are the former disgraced CEO of Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers. Fact. You draw your conclusion.
Face….In 2005 McCain co sponsored a bill that would have put in place stringent oversight on Fannie Mae and prevented this meltdown. Barak Obama voted against it. Spin… one MIGHT only conclude for the reason that he was A senator who received more pac money from Fannie Mae then all other senators except Dodd.
The facts are that in 1 short year. Spin…The last two dont count cause Obama has been campaigning instead of representing the Nation and the people of Illinois. In one short year Obama has proven himself to be seriously lacking in judgment. Seriously affected by greed.
Fact…he chose Joe Biden to be his VP. SPIN….The most entrenched Democrat on the hill for a campaign who claims they are outsiders and want to change washington dc.
The facts are simple. The spin is not. Time and again Obama shows poor judgment. And because he has ZERO experience its judgment that matters and Obama’s is seriously lacking.
William Ayers.
Tony Rezko.
Voting against Bill S190 that would have prevented the Fannie Mae Meltdown in 2005.
Reverend Wright.
Accepting huge Pac Money from Fannie Mae and then claiming special interests are not welcome to him.
Voting lockstep in tune with the Democratic party then claiming he will be a uniter.
Voting against the surge.
Agenda. The Obama faithful have an agenda. That agenda is to attack Sarah Palin unmercifully in every attempt to cover up Barak Obama’s total and sincere lack of qualifications to run this country. To NOT talk about his record. EVER. Because his record does not exist. He is a carpetbagger and no that word is not used in a racist sense.
Thank you for your time.
Factcheck.org has become a good friend-o-mine.
Geez Compass, thrown in an Anti-Christ or two and I’d think you’re F&B.
Hey Chuck, don’t insult Compass like that. It isn’t bias if you just present the facts.
