Republicans Smear To Win-Obama Supporters Work

The new Obama attack book is all the rage and the media is in a tizzy. Will Obama be swiftboated by the swiftboater?

But what folks don't know, is while the republicans and their agents smear for political gain, Obama supporters are on the ground making posters, talking to voters, getting voters registered, creating art, painting barns, showing support, holding weekly meetings, talking about issues and getting involved.

See the difference between the two groups?

One group thinks it can win by attacking the other, spreading lies and starting rumors. The republicans have even gone after Obama supporters, calling them Kool-Aid drinkers and mindless. Juvenile. But it's been called their best chance to win, which doesn't say much about what they have to offer.

Their message: Only the misinformed sheep could vote for Obama. He's just an "empty suit." Believe me, I get the emails. They don't like their candidate, so they just throw stones at the other guy.

The other group has its head down, is huddled around kitchen tables, living rooms and Obama offices around the country, working to get the message out, signing up voters, spreading information and above all, saying something positive. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be with the group that has a positive message and wants to get things done.

Swiftboater O'Neill Calls Obama Corrupt

Since I'm on the wingnut mailing list, I get this stuff. These people crank out a book a day.  In today's world, there is no more truth. Everything is spun. This guy is icky.
Dear Friend,

As you may recall, I was privileged to play a role in helping prevent John Kerry from being elected president when my fellow Swift Boat Veterans and I released the book Unfit for Command. As liberal as Kerry was, America faces an even more liberal threat today: Barack Obama. Fortunately, investigative journalist and National Review Online political reporter David Freddoso has written the book every voter needs to read: The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate.

Uncovering stories the mainstream media has neglected, Freddoso reveals Obama for who he really is: the U.S. senator with the #1 most liberal voting record in the Senate. And a politician whose rhetoric of "change" does not match the reality of his corrupt, "Chicago-machine politics" background.

Moving past Obama's inspiring speeches and say-anything-to-win campaign tactics, Freddoso outlines Obama's extreme, far-left legislative record and his questionable associations with both criminals and radicals. From Obama's repeated support for the Chicago patronage system, to his hard-line position of no restrictions on abortion, The Case Against Barack Obama offers the cold, hard facts about this man who would be our next president.

As American citizens, it is our right and duty to question the background, character, and proposals of any candidate who could be our next commander in chief. Democrats and the media are not holding Obama accountable, so conservatives must. I'm grateful to David Freddoso and my publisher, Regnery, for finally revealing the man behind the myth.

I urge you to read The Case Against Barack Obama. I also recommend that you buy copies for your friends and relatives who may consider voting for Obama. They deserve to know the truth, too.

Please click on one of the links below to order your copy today.

Sincerely,

John O'Neill

Plot Against Obama in General Election

they're out there practicing the dark arts of politics, putting together the clips of obama and the weatherman, getting ready to paint a dark, dark picture of obama. the obama camp says it won't be swiftboated. it will respond quickly to republican attack ads.

newsweek: Operatives such as David Bossie, whose Citizens United group made the Willie Horton ad that helped sink Michael Dukakis's 1988 presidential bid, are sharpening knives as expectations mount that Obama will be their target in the fall. Bossie says he is assembling material for TV spots about Obama's ties with Ayers, a Chicago professor and unrepentant former member of the Weather Underground, a group that bombed several government buildings to protest the Vietnam War. The Ayers issue bounced around right-wing media for months, but it received broad exposure at last week's debate on ABC, when Obama was asked a question about their relationship. Obama, who lives near Ayers in Chicago's Hyde Park, attended an event at Ayers's house when Obama ran for the state Senate in 1995—and served on the board of a nonprofit with him for several years. "Obama is aware of the acts Ayers committed when he was 8 years old and has called them 'detestable'," says spokesman Ben LaBolt, adding that Obama occasionally bumps into Ayers in his neighborhood "but has not seen him for months." At a recent dinner party, according to one guest who asked not to be identified discussing a private gathering, Ayers "ridiculed" the notion that Obama shared his left-wing views: "He thought the idea that there was a political connection between them was absurd." (Ayers declined to comment.)


these people are seething, powerful and ignorant and have no desire to meet on any middle ground. believe it or not, the following comes from a religious theologian:

human events: Your old paradigms are outdated, Mr. Obama. If you want to represent yourself as the leader of a new -- color neutral -- world order, you ought to look at the world which my family represents.

On the other hand, African American youth in the US drop out of high school at alarming rates. They have chosen to become a permanent underclass. They do not have hope-filled immigrant grandparents, nor apparently the right mentors. My Maternal Grandmother -- who arrived in America in 1910 from what is now Slovakia -- could barely speak English, but her 13 children and their kids and their kids... all respect the values we were taught. We were expected to get to the library faithfully as soon as we could walk there on our own. Bill Cosby got it right.

under the bush administration they've flourished.

robert novack, one of these radical types, says rev wright will be back in the general election again and again.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) appears to be weathering the furor over his radical pastor and his remarks about bitter small town residents as far as the race with Clinton is concerned, but the general election will be a different story. Independent Republican attacks will return to those items repeatedly.

novack will be hosting a political forum (fundraiser, it costs $600) on thursday--closed doors, no reporters--and john mccain will be the special guest.
To keep the interaction intimate and meaningful, attendance is strictly limited to just 70 people. Each guest speaks briefly about key issues of the day, then opens the floor to questions -- any question. The answers are frank and open because there are no reporters.
