Good Lord and Lady, it's not bad enough that they pull all this shit out of a hat, they have to make a website and a movie to slander the man, his grandparents, and his dead mother?? Jesus.

Sure, she had a mild resemblance to Ann Dunham Obama if the lighting was right, so what? People always told me I was a dead ringer for Jamie Lee Curtis before I got old. I had neither her talent nor her income.

Also, do they think Communism is a genetic disease?

This whole smear job comes down to "he's BLACK!" How can we know who the baby daddy was?

Assholes.

We both know that.

But even if the woman posing in those racy pictures was found and she was open and honest about being a model like that during the 50's, (like Bettie Page was,) right-wingers would continue to say "Uh...thet's Obummer's mudder. Yeah, guy on the bar stool next to me said so."

The video "The Clinton Chronicles" is still for sale, and still does sell.

Right-wing bullshit will always find a market.

37. Because your response to my post makes it difficult to believe

that your intention was honorable when you posted this hideous video. Amazing that a person would need to be pushed to at the very least place a disclaimer in a vile piece of filth of an OP like you posted. Then to be asked to place a disclamer and blow off that request doesnt put you in a good light.

which is just as well, because she'd "beat" Mitt in a landslide!!!

P.S. Is this "real" father of Obama's an American? If so, they've just taken their own birther issue off the table!

27. In his statement at the link,

he says they're mailing this video and his book, on a DVD, to millions of homes.

Millions of homes, starting with Ohio, Virginia and Florida.

There is some huge money behind this. I have to admit I'm as fed up as I can possibly get. This is as low as any political campaign has ever gone. I know you wont hear a single republican publicly denouncing this. At least, not until it's had a chance to reach millions of households.

This should backfire on them but somehow I don't think it will. That would require republicans being decent people and I think that characteristic disappeared quite a while ago.

the fact that it exists at all brings us back to the nadir of the last century when it got this rough. But, I don't remember anyone actually calling a Presidential candidate's mother a whore before-- that's a new low it takes a rare scumbag to dive to.

Maybe if enough people see this crap there will actually be enough revulsion to call a halt to it and throw these bastards out on their asses.

I hope there would be, anyway.

I think it was Coulter who launched some sort of screed against Clinton's mother after her death.

There were also hecklers at her funeral.

These people had no decency in the 90s, and they've only gone downhill.

Last edited Sun Aug 19, 2012, 03:40 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

And the only way to overcome the crazy is to get a massive turnout, as good as 2008. We can't take our eyes off this, because the ones backing these smears won't take their eyes off, either. This what they did last time and will do again:

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West

The unusual distribution of 28 million free Obsession DVDs as an insert in over 70 newspapers predominantly in swing states before the United States 2008 presidential election, garnered much attention, with 5 newspapers refusing to distribute the DVD. National Public Radio reported that it was unclear as to who funded Clarion's distribution of the DVD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsession:_Radical_Islam%27s_War_Against_the_West#Distribution

It was financed by this group, see the ties:

Clarion Fund

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarion_Fund

Of course, the next war on the list, Iran:
