Freepology Today: Author of NewsMax "Obama Bombshell" is a Freeper

[theredpen]

Jim Davis wrote a NewsMax article saying that Obama attended a "hate America" sermon on July 22nd last year. The problem is that Obama was in Miami when the sermon occurred. Now Jim Davis is saying "Oh, it was one of those sermons somewhere in a three-week period."

What else have Jim Davis written? Well, he's written a bunch of posts on Free Republic:

Davis is apparently coming under attack for fucking up this story. Here are his Freeper forum posts:

Edit: Oh this is rich: Yesterday, Jim Davis was concealing his identity on Free Republic:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1986637/posts?...

Edit: This just keeps getting better. Davis is hanging on to the possibility that Obama went to the 7:30 AM service. Unfortunately, that was preached by someone other than Wright. So now he's alleging that they must have doctored the videos and the schedule on the TUCC web site, but really, he doesn't remember anything very well.

Important note: Davis is getting beaten up on Free Republic for his inaccuracy far more than his story was here. Shame on all the DUers who posted and defended it.

1. Yeah, I already checked Google, and Obama was in Miami to give a La Rasa speech that day.

We are now down to the point where Hillary supporters here are using DU to trash our likely nominee with made-up Freeper shit. They should be banned.

[Kittycat]

6. I wish I could Rec your post to Skinner

This is just bullshit bringing that garbage here. I thought DU had standards when it came to reporting information.

[eridani]

50. No individual bulletin board or blog has standards

Standards are enforced by the entire netroots tracking down the real information, which will get out eventually.

30. this was quoted in the NYT this morning in that nicholas guy's

op-ed. he has retracted it, the dork. its on americablog.com

[americanstranger]

Dupe

sorry.

[americanstranger]

31. It was Bill Kristol's op-ed, no?

Not Nocholas Kristof. While it can be debated whether or not Kristof is a dork, it is indisputable that Kristol is a lying sack of pus.

[roguevalley]

40. Yeah, Kristol. Thank you for the information. Hard to tell them apart. :)

35. the big granite cookie would be richly deserved in a number of cases...

Either for transparent freeper trolling, or unconcealed black-hating (oddly, usually not the same people).

[TwilightGardener]

38. It really brought out the worst in a lot of Hillbots here--and I certainly

don't think most of them are racist, but boy, there were some who posted shit or made comments that didn't belong on a Democratic message board--more like Stormfront. Like "Hillary supporters will rally around McCain if Obama is the nominee, because the whites will rally around THEIR candidate" and "Oh, so now Whitey is OK?" when some Obama supporters expressed hope that Edwards would endorse Obama. Sickening shit, from supposed Democrats.

3. Newsmax and Free Republic are essentially the same site anyway.

There are a lot of links - notably funding - between Newsmax and Free Republic. Also, Newsmax was closely linked to Jeff Gannon's Talon News Service, or whatever that cover organization for prostitutes was called. The one that got Gannon clearance to visit the White House, throw softball questions as a plant in the White House press corps, and stay the night on dozens of occasions.

How anybody could link Newsmax here on DU is beyond me. Yeah, I think that anyone doing that is either seriously misinformed or not a Democrat. It certainly reflects very very poorly on their candidate.

[Swamp Rat]

15. They should be banned

ISP blocked

4. Wait for it...

"freepers are people too"

[Hutzpa]

5. I've always known

that Newsmax was a republican site, it doesn't surprise me
at all, its a shame we have been inundated with their link
here lately. We just have to watch those that keep
posting links from that website.

8. I've always thought that "Garfield" was a shitty comic strip.

Wait...what?

[stillcool]

9. this isn't Jim Davis...

it is Andy Martin, and it's from March of 2007. Amazing to see where DU'ers get their smear info from.

12. This is the story about Wright by Jim Davis

Obviously, not the only anti-Obama smear piece they've published.

[blogslut]

10. fascinating

Dude is squirming like kerazy. Now he's got a number of possible excuses, notes lost, obama o'doctored the video, obama waited to slam the story because he was guilty...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Just Out Of Curiosity, Couldn't The Secret Service Logs Be Checked To See If They Were There

that day?

Wouldn't that so easily clear all of this up factually?

13. Old Philo1962 has been a freeper since 2000

14. Kick for all the Clinton supporters

who have been posting this guy's trash as gospel for the past couple of days.

Ain't you proud?

[here_is_to_hope]

16. Good catch, after seeing all of this crap

all over DU today....

[frazzled]

17. And yet scores and scores of DUers believed and defended this

It's so sad. And frankly, it's pretty darned infuriating, too, to see how zealotry for one's own candidate creates such irrational hatred for the other. It can even cause them to reach out and embrace hate-filled right-wing sites like Newsmax and Free Republic to make their "case." It can make them embrace divisive--yes, dare I say, racist--rhetoric and hyperbolic hysteria. I've never seen anything like this in my life--not from the Democratic side, that is. It's a crying shame. Everybody's mental faculties have been thrown out the window. Everybody's principles have been thrown out the window.

I'm disgusted.

Where's the Loser Brigade? Someone should rub their noses in the shit they dropped yesterday.

[americanstranger]

21. they all ran away as fast as their stubby little legs could carry them.

Somehow, I think apologies won't be forthcoming.

[theredpen]

26. Hey!

No trashing jlake in my thread!

[Forkboy]

32. Hey, he was supporting the Newsmax shit.

Take it up with him.

[theredpen]

33. I know, I know

But it is against the rules to call out other DUers by name — even if it's justified.

[Forkboy]

34. Well, maybe they can alert...

and explain that someone is pointing out they like Newsmax.

[theredpen]

[Binka]

43. Oh You Did Not!!!!!

[Forkboy]

49. Oh yes I did.

And notice how none of them saw this thread? Guess they've had busy days scouring Stormfront for their next wank session.

[NorthernSpy]

51. do you suppose they'll ever take back any of that shit?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

45. I expect to see a Hillary '08 banner ad on Newsmax soon enough.

Newsmax... Hillary's trusted news source.

[progressoid]

46. I'm sure the media will investigate and correct all of this.

Just like they did with Jeff Gannon.

[myrna minx]

47. K&R. I saw folks lobbing out the

"Obama could have taken a private jet to Miami after the sermon" posts this morning.
