The Audacity of Lies
Posted: June 24, 2008 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: audacity of lies, obama ad lies, obama no votes, public Law 110-181 3 CommentsSavage politics has just caught Obama in such an audacious lie that it leaves me wondering if anyone at the Obama campaign has an intact brain cell. What ARE they all on over there? Here’s the link to the piece: http://savagepolitics.com/?p=800 . Here’s a frame of the ad.
Here’s the analysis.
“Is lying and blatant misdirection a ‘Kansas family-value’? By the looks of Obama’s first general election advertisement it is almost a religion. Obama says in his ad that he “extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected” and cites Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.
The problem is: Obama didn’t show up to vote that day! The bill passed the senate 91 to 3… WITHOUT Obama’s vote.”
How on earth can you claim you did something that you didn’t do? Especially, let me put this in caps, ESPECIALLY, when it has to do with the men and women who have been wounded in Dubya’s war. How can you put their faces on your ad behind the bold print of a bald faced lie and get up in the morning and face yourself in the mirror? This man didn’t bother to vote for our wounded soldiers and now uses it as his badge of honor.
Cannonfire (source: http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/) reports that DailyKampf is already in gross rationalization mode claiming that Obama supposedly wrote some of it so has a right to claim credit. However, he did not even sponsor or cosponsor this bill.This bill was supported by a huge majority of the senate. They came, they voted. How could he NOT even show up for the vote but now claim he fully supported the bill per this sham of a TV ad? Did he not vote for it because voting present is not an option in the U.S. Senate? Did he hit the wrong button? Was he out to lunch? We know he wasn’t visiting the troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. So WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE for the vote?
Somebody with a press pass on the Obama campaign bus needs to ask that question. Can we at least bring the topic up with some phone calls to Lou Dobbs? Anderson, you were knee deep in unmentionable liquid down here for weeks? Are you brave enough to confront the Grand Possum on this?
What does it take to get the DNC to wake up to what a serious mistake this man is? Trotting out wounded soldiers to support a lie is even beyond the word audacity. Somebody, please, find the alternate universe the Obamatrons have created for themselves and drag them back into reality.
UPDATE: JULY 2, 2008: Obama has removed this portion of his padded resume from the ad.

“…
You are not Catullus, you know,
To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far
From Dante’s feet, but even farther from his dirty
Political hatreds.
Let boys want pleasure, and men
Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame,
And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped.
Yours is not theirs.”
Robinson Jeffers, “Be Angry At The Sun,” italics mine
“You are far
From Dante’s feet, but even farther from his dirty
Political hatreds.”
Doesn’t it feel a bit … nasty to worry about these minor political hatreds? To join with these people who remind one more of biting rats than of human beings in pursuing petty political obsessions? Obama, Clinton, McCain – they, like all politicians, are corrupt and liars, and like all of these other minor things, will be forgotten in 100 years.
There’s nothing dignified or decent, or in any way smacking of human nobility, in pairing off with one group of greedy, bloody-handed liars and setting them up as superior to some other group of would-be tyrants, thugs, and thieves.
the dems in congress know all about mr bo, thats why they selected him…he will say whatever anyone wants to hear, to get their votes…, isnt it odd that the economy was fine until they the dems took control? isnt it odd that so many dems, got sweetheart deals from countryside? oh, they didnt know they got special treatment… sounds like obama not knowing what button he pushed, or couldnt remember how many states we have… isnt it funny how gas went up , and the economy went south since their campaign started? gas went up faster in the past 18 months then it did since 911, isnt it odd? oh yeah its all bushs fault..isnt it funny they spend trillons of tax dollars, without blinking an eye, isnt it funny they have many earmarks, and hidden bailouts, but now they need to cut medicare,? so people cant use advantage program that save them money and gives them a choice, isnt it funny congress can donate tons of money and stand on the floor and say , we need to up the donations to other countries..but cant afford oxygen for the sick? yeah, just what we need bigger govt control, to tax us on everything,,they say oh ill give you a $1000 bucks, if you are poor, but then will tax us so much in our energy, which will drive the cost of food up..not to mention every thing else..they tell us to drop dead when we have majority voted for drilling offshore? only the environmentalist matter, is that because of the special earmarks those groups get? guess the poor only really matter if its not in this country..guess its ok to use foreign oil, it wont harm the climate, but our oil will? who are they kidding?? guess thats why they thought obama would be the best nominee…so they selected him…is that soicializm?
