"...While the mainstream media has given Americans a very distorted picture of Barack Obama, portraying him as a thoughtful, intelligent, unflappable, decent family man who has the temperament and judgment to be President, the conservative blogosphere has been the only place where you can get the real story. Hampered by quaint, old-fashioned rules of journalism that require citing evidence and reputable sources, the mainstream media has failed to report a number of important stories about Obama and the conservative blogosphere has had to step up and do the media's job for them."

Highlights include:

During Obama's dark, mysterious years at Columbia, he was involved in domestic terrorist bombings

Obama didn't actually write Dreams of My Father. In fact, it was ghost-written by none other than Bill Ayers!

Michelle Obama attacks "American white racists" in an interview with obscure online news site

Obama had a girlfriend that his wife found out about and forced her to move to the Caribbean.

There is a tape of Michelle Obama with Louis Farrakhan talking about "whitey"

Obama was not born in the United States and his birth certificate has been forged.

Barack Obama had an underage, gay "affair" with a pedophile.

Obama had cocaine-fueled gay sex in the back of a limousine with a not-very-attractive disabled man with a criminal background

Obama was getting answers in the first debate through a clear plastic hearing aid in his ear

Ace of Spades' Super-Secret Unified Field Story That Connects All the Dots


There's enough here to fuel the tin-foil hat brigade for the next 4 to 8 years.

Enjoy!

Who among us hasn't had cocaine-fueled gay sex in the back of a limousine with a not-very-attractive disabled man with a criminal background?

I do admit that the criminal background was a surprise at the time...

What were you doing in Obama's limo?

He wasn't ugly, he was differently imaged

Sounds almost like something Ann Coulter would conjure from her apparently fevered imagination.

I've started listening to America Left Radio on XM (167) on my way to and from work.  The last two days I've heard Thom Hartmann, the host during the afternoon, say:

1.  He equates Gitmo to Auschwitz.  (Had a Republican used that word in any conversation, he/she would be strung out to dry).

2.  He said the GOP has conducted mind control and brain washing on the general public, which in turn conducted torture on the American public.

3.  Doesn't understand the difference between the four people arrested in New York yesterday on terrorism plot charges and the people being held in Gitmo.

4.  Constantly interviews senators and congressman from across the U.S. who say bring all the Gitmo people to the U.S. and put them in prisons here, but never asks the senator or congressman if they would agree to house them in their district.

WOW!

One of those is not at all like the others. I'll leave it to you to determine which one does not fit.

The others? Sounds like the right wing noise machine radio hosts, but making asinine comments that happen to supposedly be from the "left." Both extremes say lots of things that make all thinking people do a forehead slap. Problem is that the right wingers actually take the morons seriously in greater numbers.

Wilbur, I heard on the tube the other night that one state, Utah I think, actually is lobbying to get the detainees into their prison system. It is in financial trouble (not enough criminal activity?) and sees this as their salvation! Fine with me.

Will it be the Left's position that every prisoner in a war be brought back to the U.S. and put on trial?

Can you imagine the numbers from Kuwait, Viet Nam, WWII, ......

It's quite different when there is actually a war, as opposed to a gang of folks blowing smile up. We didn't put Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols in Gitmo, did we?

Is this really Thom Hartmann..... who can't tell the difference between an American citizen committing crimes on American soil (giving the crimes jurisdiction within the US) and war prisoners?  Tim McVeigh was charged with 168 counts of murder.

We have a long history of applying our laws to both non-citizens and those not in our country, so it's perfectly reasonable to treat these morons as the law enforcement issue they are.

As a side benefit, it's less expensive and more effective. Treating it as a military issue only breeds further extremism. It is much easier to say "rah rah rah, we're mad as heck and we mean war!" It helps that we've been calling the fight against everything we don't like the "war on foo" for the last 30 years. Not really a good mindset to be in, if you ask me.

Wilbur, I thought the same thing...good call
