This is precious. Barack is in a snit over so-called smears. (Deb, thanks for the tip.) Karen Tumulty writes in Time Magazine:
According to campaign officials, what finally launched Obama into a full rumor counteroffensive was a story that apparently first made a big splash on the Internet in late May in a post by pro-Hillary Clinton blogger Larry Johnson. Quoting “someone in touch with a senior Republican,” Johnson claimed that there was a video of Michelle Obama “blasting ‘whitey’ during a rant at Jeremiah Wright’s church.” (Later versions of the rumor had Michelle’s “rant” happening at a Rainbow/push Coalition conference.) No such videotape has surfaced.
Now, are you ready for the shocker? Look at the next paragraph of Karen’s piece:
When the Obama campaign got wind of the rumor in April, Michelle’s close friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett asked Michelle if there could be anything to it; the candidate’s wife dismissed it out of hand.
I did not hear about the tape until MAY. REPEAT. I DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THE TAPE UNTIL MAY. Yet, the Obama campaign knew about the tape in April. Got it? And I am the one responsible for the so called rumor?
Au contraire. What is really fascinating is that the Obama campaign continues to issue a non-denial denial. They are fighting so-called smears, but not challenging the very facts that underlie the charges.
There is a recording of Michelle Obama using a racial slur about white people. I have not seen the tape but I am certain that the people who have told my sources they have seen such a tape are telling the truth. What is really interesting is that the Obama folks knew about this long before I did.
And you know what else? One of my sources told me last week that the Obama camp knew about the tape. So the Obamas have confirmed what one of my sources about the existence of the tape has told me.
I am happy to take credit for being the one who has put the Obama campaign on edge. But it looks like they themselves knew there was a problem.
Obama = Hitler
Axelrod = Goebbels
Not sure if you are a regular poster, but if so you don’t help the case against Obama by comparing Obama to someone who tried to exterminate an entire ethnic group. There is no need to resort to absurdity when there is already much to work with.
Not that I agree with Bella’s sentiment, but given Obama’s friends, such as Farrakhan, and Odinga, I’m not too sure she misses the mark.
Yep, Farrakhan “Hitler was a great man.”
Birds of a feather!
Did he really say that???
We should find a link and keep reminding these cultists of that fact. I know MOST good Democrats do NOT like anti-semitic hate talk any more than they like racist talk.
Although it seems Democrats promote and prefer slandering women.
Keith O being the worst on msnbc and Cafferty his equal on cnn
fox is pretty much run by women lately so there’s not too much of it over there
I like Megan and the rest of the other women over there. They are NOT the bimbos that the LEFT had brainwashed me into believing.
NO MORE BRAINWASHING
He did, he also said Judaism is a gutter religion.
You can Google it, I can’t ever get links to go thru on here for some reason.
Bella; put them in quotes and they won’t get trapped.
I don’t think the republicans will have trouble finding a link and reminding the electorate of BO’s past pals and mentors.
Both are media whores!
To be in full context, what Farrakhan said was: “In the realm of evil and wickedness Adolph Hitler was a great man”
From Final Call:
To all my best research, there is no record of Farrakhan calling Judaism a “gutter religion”. I know that a local radio host has put $10,000 on the table for anyone who can find evidence Farrakhan ever this.
To me that doesn’t discount Farrakhan’s comments as anything less than anti-semetic, but I’m a stickler for footnotes and actualities.
And I’m patient for a tape to come out. It has more power hidden than revealed, especially if it actually exists. Let people fester and stew on their myths until you show them the evidence. It would hurt all the more.
If I’ve learned anything about politics this last year, its all about timing.
Many years ago, I watched a speech on television by Farrakhan, and I heard him say that Judaism is a gutter religion. He was saying that in the context of criticizing the Jews for not having a tradition of forgiveness.
Not to mention Axelrod’s campaign to harass into silence any opposition to Obama. (See this article today from http://liberalrapture.com/ entitled Obamapods Hate The First Amendment.)
Get your facts straight people
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/
Oh PULEAZE.
And Odinga is an ethnic cleanser, a mass murderer.
I am disgusted, Obama sends friendly advisers, to help.
Oh bugger off you troll. Your candidate does what he wants and the parent is merely expressing something that’s painfully obvious to anyone with a brain and the conceited idea it can be used for thinking.
Comparing Obama to Hitler is perfectly appropriate as Obama is a demagogue and despot.
Comparing Herr Axelrod to Josef Göbbels is perfectly appropriate as Axelrod is the incarnation of Göbbels in the television and Internet age. In fact I am sure Josef Göbbels would smile in admiration of the satanic work of Herr David Axelrod.
Myself I don’t like comparing Axelrod to Göbbels too much. Personally I find him more like Saruman or something equally evil. But that’s only different strokes for different folks.
Next time around we’ll find something to compare you O-teens to. Bye.
Uhmmm - anyone read Mein Kampf or Obama’s books? I think the comparison may well fit - both extreme racialists and same campaign/overthrow style of bully and submission. Hitler blames the Jews, Obama’s book and beliefs of Black Liberation Theology blames all white people (and Nation of Islam also blames the Jews). Man - haven’t these people ever heard of self-responsibility?
Obama could cure cancer & you’d see evil in it.
If he cured it, he flip-flop the next day and create a strain that was immune to the cure.
I’ve built an anti-”fight the smears” site and I’d appreciate suggestions for additions.

thanks!
Eva Braun wannabe
You Obamabots are dumber than a sack of hammers, that I know for sure, lol. Ok, so you want to use the anti-smear Obamabots website to try and counter truths, fine by me. I will also use YOUR OWN WEBSITE to counter your BS, all the while using your mail servers, lol. Thank your leader for me will ya, lol.
Ok, here is the step by step procedure to use the Obamabot website to send out free emails to counter their BS, lol.
Step 1
Go to : http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/notape
Step 2
Where it asks for your email, put in ANY email you wish, maybe even something like ” Obama@liar.com “, be creative, lol.
Step 3
Where it asks for your name , put in ANY name you wish, maybe even something like ” Michelle Obama”, lol.
Step 4
Where you see the BS message, highlight and DELETE the message and insert your own message, perhaps even a link back to here, lol.
Step 5
Where is says TO, well just fill in up to 10 email addresses where you want the email to go to, perhaps even send it back to the Obamabot’s, lol.
There ya go, an easy way to use the Obamabots own STUPID website to counter their BS, oh so much fun, lol.
You seriously need to grow up.
Yeah I did that. That was really cool. Thanks!
Your methods are really making this country safer and more reasonable. I’ll bet you match this approach to screaming a point of view with free gun ownership.
Thank you for bringing that to light again.
What is it with the American public and the press that they look the other way? It is very clear that Obama has or still has questionable, hateful friends. I say “birds of a feather flock together.”
Is the press run by Muslim terrorist organizations who are determined to crown this guy as Prince of America? Does anybody pay attention to what is going on? The press is the danger here. They feed the masses all kind of BS and the masses eat it up. We have got to do something guys.
Is the press run by Muslim terrorist organizations who are determined to crown this guy as Prince of America?
No. Of course not. The media are run by powerful corporate interests who would prefer anybody to a Hillary and the more they think about it would actually love a demagogue in a cheap suit like Obama. Then they could really bamboozle people!
It’s called fascism, folks. And it’s finally inevitably come to roost in the United States.
There were people opposed to Hitler who didn’t end up in the concentration camps but history teaches us they had a really tough time convincing the morons Hitler was a danger.
Back in 1935 people were excited and positive about Hitler the way the goons are excited about Barry today. Back in 1935 those who opposed Hitler were not only abused, harassed, murdered - they were considered to be WRONG.
Then time went on, the thinkers were proven right, perhaps a hundred million people were killed or wounded, an entire continent was laid to waste - and gee whiz said the morons to themselves. I guess we were wrong after all. Aw shucks! But it admittedly was a close call! Hey - who could have possibly known?
So you keep it up, you weeny wusses. You keep it up. But people will survive the holocaust you create and this time they will point the finger. This time you shall take the blame.
THIS SITE IS TO FIGHT SMEAR’S, THE OBAMA’S SHOULD STOP TRYING TO SMEAR OTHERS.
DEMOCRAT BOB BECKEL ON FOX NEWS
GOT THIS STORY GOING ABOUT MICHELLE…
NOT LIMBAUGH
Never too early to start the baseless fearmongering huh??? Sorry Charlie (aka Bella), won’t work this time around…the Country’s been there, done that, seen that playbook…its OLD!!!!!!GET A NEW ONE. TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY (STUPID), THE UNJUST WAR, HEALTHCARE, RECORD HIGH GAS PRICES.. HOW ‘BOUT SOME REAL ISSUES….
Who do you think you’re fooling?
It’s one thing to launch another Goebbels like PR drive, another to ignore it’s being countered, or used against YOU.
Get it?
WOW… you guys are the worst kind of sleaze. I truly believe that the world would be a much better place with scum like you.
And Larry go crawl under the rock you came from
Wow, cool!
You really are a thinker, I stand in amazement, and awe.
Shithead.
Only if you join him, bitch.
OMG…where did you learn to write? Troll maggot…make like a caca and flush yourself down the toilet.
Wow, is this the line they tell you to use over at Debunking central–CLEVER
I am interpreting your remarks as a comparison of the Nazi Propaganda Machine and the Obama Propaganda Machine. And I think you have made a valid point. However, the Nazis are remembered more for mass murder than for the sophistication of their propaganda and the comparison you’ve made sounds absurd because most of us think of 6 million murdered Jews and millions of others murdered as well. So, I get it, but I think it’s over the top to bring up Hitler and Goebbels. That said, witness this mornings’s editorials in the Palm Beach Post … first is an editorial on “why” it was a good thing Obama got rid of Johnson. Under that is an editorial on why the media did not cause Hillary to lose. Outrageous propaganda in a mainstream newspaper. And ironic that this paper, which is so pro-Obama even their letters to the editor are selected for their “endorsements” of the candidate — this paper still feels it needs to attack Clinton, even after she’s left the race, in an editorial! It’s as if they’re admitting that Obama cannot win unless energy is focused on hating Clinton. Of course, opposite these editorials is yet another generous helping of Maureen Dowd, talking about Bill and Hillary’s “enemies list,” which to minds with memories of the 70s (the Hillary vote so coveted by Obama), puts the Clintons in league with Nixon. So, Bella, on second thought, I think Goebbels would be so proud of the Obama media consortium. And Hitler would have no complaints, except that Obama doesn’t have blue eyes, blond hair and whiter than white skin. Well, it’s not a perfect world is it, Adolf? Still Herr Hitler, your legacy is intact — hate has definitely been the ultimate weapon of the Obama campaign. And their blitzkrieg goes on…!
This namecalling was really helpful. Thanks so much.
Take a good look at Axelrod. He is the one God made to look like Hitler, right down to the moustache and hairline. Obama however is the screamer and angry hater who is the inspirer of Hitlerian racism. Axelrod may be Hitler’s face but Obama is his voice.
As for Obama, what does God have to say about him?
Hussein - “house in” emergency: foreclosure crisis
Sub-loan crisis = sub-due emergency = submit emergency (Arabic translation for the word “submission”, subduing is “islam”)
The “can” man from “Kansas” is the “ken” man (Hebrew translation for the word “submission, subduing” = Arabic word “islam”)
The Hussein crisis, like many others, is a sign from God, not about the war in Iraq, but about O-bomb-A.
They are both cartoons.
I dont give them a second thought, except here, and then only because it would be irresponsible not to, if only for the people of this country, those who care about their future, but don’t blog, for whatever reason.
They are NOT intelligent men, they have delusions of intelligence.
I waiting for GOP use of the tape
Keep up the censorship, fools!
Barack has a new website to combat Rethuglican sites like this. It is:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/
GAME OVER!
Now, erase this post like you did all the others!
Sweet…
Justice
Censorship, don’t you mean Obamatwat sabatoge of sites speaking against the anointed communist one?
Sounds like a hitler youth speaking out again….lol
Just ice Obama style, believe my lies, because I am the one, the one we’ve been waiting for…..opps pressed the pause button by Obamistake again…lol
He’s talking about yesterday’s crash. Aren’t these Obamabots suppose to be the ones savvy about technology?
Gee, even I can tell when it’s a server crash versus when I’ve been blocked.
He must be a refugee from HuffPo with that insane moderation policy over there.
He won’t combat rumours with talent like you, he needs smart people.
Apparently, he has yet to hire one.
It isn’t simply a matter of counter aggression, that would be Cheney in Iraq, or Israel in Palestine.
How’d that work out?
Not too well.
And they still can’t figure out WHY it didn’t work.
Obama is dispatching his zombies to shout down anyone who speaks the truth about him and you think LARRY is guilty of censorship?
Well, I hope he sends smart zombies, an army of cows is still an army of cows.
The Plastic Jesus has a website….
Now I’m Scared!
NOT!
Hey Justice,
I don’t see anything at that website where Obama or his wife Michelle give a 100% denial on public record, lol.
Also, I don’t even see the so called “smear” about Larry Sinclair and Obama doing cocaine and having homosexual sex, even though Larry Sinclair will be at the National Press Club next Wed. June 18 2008 at 3PM
to tell the world about it. I dare you to put that smear up, you won’t, you are too scared, lol.

So, when threatened, he knee jerks, and over reacts?
Hmmmm those dont seem like good qualities in a CIC do they?
LOL!!
LOL…and the Dems/Reid just insulted McCain’s temperament.
At least he gets riled over real topics and not free speech on the net.
http://www.co.pueblo.co.us/cgi-bin/webpurbroker.wsc/mostoff.html?name=135062
What BO (and god, doesn’t he smell?) has is a huge dark HATE BLANKET that he is laying over the former Democratic party smothering everything that is good, noble and human. Everyone else is running for the exits.
The imagery in this comment is illuminating.
I saw a blanket over a pile of shit.
We would get better “illumination” without the blanket dude….remember when we had free speech, ahh those were the days
now Obots follow us to our virtual homes and one by one coopt our blogs and harass us, and these are our “fellow Dems” gee and I thought only the GOP suppressed dissent, once again the Dems under Uhhbama co-opt GOP tactics to destroy the things our party stood for….
Exactly, “co-opt our blogs and harass us.” There are people saying things on this blog that I know they wouldn’t say. They’re being impersonated just to paint them and this site as ignorant racists.
This is truly hilarious reading. Obamabots? Hitler? Someone says “and these are your fellow dems?” You’re my fellow dems? You people keep this up and come November you can just salute your new Republican President. Won’t that make Senator Clinton and the rest of the democrats proud?
If anyone seems to be following blindly it is the Clinton supporters and their Obama bashing on blogs everywhere is eerily similiar to the garbage you’re spouting here but you don’t hijack blogs with nasty comments right? You don’t believe wholeheartedly in your candidate (who by the way is now a fellow Obamabot, she’s been cleverly assimulated!) that you feel the need to defend her when you feel as though she’s been slandered. No, you wouldn’t do THAT! The evil media is so gender biased. I’m sure 6 months ago when they were touting Senator Clinton (notice the respect I’m granting her despite her many proven lies?) as the Democratic candidate they MUST have assumed she was in drag…
I do my research and I know the candidate I’m backing is the right person for the job. I’m not being told who to vote for or what to believe, I’ve seen for myself the lies that have been shot down time and time again. Nothing that’s been thrown at him has stuck, just a lot of IF it exists, IF it’s true, IF, IF, IF…(funny comment about not having video way back in 2004 btw, but I can find a rare song from 1987 on Youtube…)
Seriously and you’re calling us bots? Do you people read the stuff you write?
No doubt you’ll all jump all over this like a pack of hyenas but I won’t be back. I have 200 more blogs to hijack before bedtime. PFFT! All I can say is if President McCain still has us in Iraq in 2006, and our vets who come home have nothing to come back to, don’t come crying to us.
2009…would have caught it if not for the typing delay in posting.
NOW I have to go hijack 200 more blogs.
Oh, now these are some great facts that will make any intelligent person immediately vote against Obama.
Yes, let’s talk about the important issues of a candidates body oder.
Great discourse…
You of course, unable to address the larger points.
Again.
Because you can’t.
hello kettle, this is the pot. You’re black.
you racist!!!!
gasp!!!!
typical. That’s not a racist remark.
Typical. You can’t understand a joke.
Hey- Michelle brought up him being “stinky and snorey” - hence my screen name…
Does BO have sleep apnea? (snoring)
Uh, who is trying censoring whom? Go home Troll…go troll elsewhere.
yessssss!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDc-1zfffMw&feature=related
It’s like having a conversation with the bamsterbites, isn’t it?
BAM! OOOF! BONG! POW!
Game over indeed in a few months when your candidate and his minions (and that includes you) will realize what this means: B.O.W.L. Big Time in November!* The only question now is by how many? Will it be like Carter vs. Reagan in ‘80 (a possibility)? Or Mondale vs. Reagan in ‘84? (very likely)? Or Kerry vs. Bush in ‘04 (and this is the best case scenario already for Team Obama). No matter who they select as his running mate, the people will not be bamboozled. Kerry’s Swiftboating is nothing compared to what the bogus candidate of change will receive - and this time around, he deserves every damn hit! Hell hath no fury…and we’re just starting! Tadah!
*Barack Obama Will Lose Big Time in November!
You wish - you spiteful scrote.
That webpage is great — let me rate it for you:
Graphics and Style: 10
Content and Truth: 0
There you go!
Thanks, I was looking for some evidence one way or the other (whether the stories about Obama were true). You’ve completely convinced me that they are with those great facts you’ve pointed out.
Deutschland Deutschland über alles!
Jawohl!
I think you should change your sentence “There is a recording of Michelle Obama using a racial slur about white people.”
As you haven’t seen the tape yourself, you can’t be 100% certain that it exists. You should use a line like “I strongly believe that such a tape exists.”
They should release the tape now that would be so funny after Obama has up this site, I could just see all the uh uhmm ah that he will be saying to combat this one.
Ein reich, ein volk undt ein fuhrer!
you cite one of Hitler’s proclamation:
ein Reich - one empire
ein Volk - one people
ein Führer - one leader
it’s the same with all fascist regimes, left or right. Those who don’t follow will be persecuted and distroyed.
Let’s take a look at a few early warning signs of fascism:
- fraudulent elections (DNC)
- rampant cronyism ad corruption (Rezko, Ayers etc)
- disdain for the intellectual and the arts
- labor power suppressed (bluecollarworkers?)
- controlled mass media (or being their “pet”?)
- rampant sexism (or misogyny)
- disdain for human rights (bullying at caucuses,
racism)
Doesn’t look pretty now, does it?
I do know that it’s from crazy old uncle adolph.
Thanks for the update
I never doubted you knew whom you quoted, but your spelling was a little off, so I allowed myself to translate. Anyway, not everybody might be as informed as you are, especially since those oposing Obama are supposed to be intellectually less gifted.(!!!) Didn’t mean to offend you though, sorry.
comment further down:
Fascism is a one party system of government in which the individual is subordinated to the state and control is maintained….
You mean like what the DNC did to the nomination process-facism with abig dose of Mcarthyism–asking us to swear loyalty to the party and THEIR candidate
is he another crazy Uncle??????
what is with the uncles????
You know, every politician today would fit in that using your twisted logic.
Maybe we should just give up on the political system then…
Just gotta love the stupid GOPers who say a fascist can have views on the left of the political spectrum. Just totally denying the definition of fascism. If you’re going to slur someone on the internets, at least look the word up first.
Ain’t “party unity” grand?
Excellent list.
Here’s one for detecting cult leaders:
1. Demands total obedience to the cult leader
2. Persecutes and tries to silence any critic of the cult leader
3. Asks for followers’ money, even when the cult leader has enough
4. Separates people from their family or friends or alliances by attacking anyone of them who criticizes the cult leader
5. Creates a new cult made up of recycled symbols
6. Steals the words and ideas from real messengers of God and other people and recycles and pretend they are the cult leader’s
7. Promises change and always delivers it - for the worst for the followers who get to experience, always, a financial loss of all their assets, while the cult leader becomes rich for mouthing simple slogans
8. Separates followers from non-followers by using paranoia and hate of those who don’t agree with the cult leader
9. Demands his followers “change their beliefs” - or as Obama recycles that as “change we can believe in”
wow, thanks for the great post.
I really a good thing Hillary didn’t win the primary and McCain won’t win the general. We don’t need a cult leader as president.
Wow, I wasn’t going to vote for Obama, but your “I know you are but what am I response” convinced me. LOL.
Comparing Obama to Hilter is an isult to the people who actually lived under his oppresive regime and had their families murdered en masse by his henchmen.
You people never cease to amaze me with your disgusting disrepect for history. And facts. And logic. And general common sense.
We are hearing that Obama refuses to release his birth certificate. What is he hiding? His birthplace? His supposed status as a natural born citizen of the United States? When American citizens apply for a job, we often have to produce our birth certificate, SS, or 2 forms of I.D. This man wants to rule us as President. People, rise up and DEMAND this man release this crucial information!
Obama wasn’t born. He was made.
God bless you….
Angry? Pretty silly too.
