Obama's Avalanche of LIES

[calicat]

Buried in Eloquence, Obama Contradictions About Pastor


Buried in his eloquent, highly praised speech on America's racial divide, Sen. Barack Obama contradicted more than a year of denials and spin from him and his staff about his knowledge of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's controversial sermons.

Similarly, Obama also has only recently given a much fuller accounting of his relationship with indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a longtime friend, who his campaign once described as just one of "thousands of donors."

Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay marriage.

"I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial," Obama said at a community meeting in Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month.

"He has said some things that are considered controversial because he's considered that part of his social gospel; so he was one of the leaders in calling for divestment from South Africa and some other issues like that," Obama said on March 2...

[gaiilonfong]

2. I see all taylor marsh's surrogates are out tonight

[JeffR]

7. I'm thinking they all got juiced on the Goose already

and came here once the green whirlies started.

[Yael]

24. Green whirlies?

:spray:

So where is the line for the Green Whirlie Ride into Alternate Universe Land?

I happen to have my Grey Goose right here -- but am probably not using the right mixer. Recipe?

Green whirlies. LOL!

[JeffR]

30. Just start slamming it back neat!

Hang around in this forum a little more tonight and you'll be hoping for a case of the stuff.

[Yael]

33. I have found myself more amused than annoyed tonight

Must be the ice keeping me sane. :D

If I keep up at this pace and then see that image from jgraz one more time telling people to put on their big girl panties I am probably going to pee myself.

[JeffR]

34. Since I first saw that, I've been wearing big girl panties myself

Thank God I never get together with my fraternity brothers anymore for pick-up basketball. The locker room would be a humiliating experience.

[Yael]

39. You win

[JeffR]

[JeffR]

43. Mm. Silk.

:rofl:

:rofl:

[Yael]

44. Kicking or derailing?

Hmmmmm

[JeffR]

45. We can only hope for the latter.

[babylonsister]

16. Whoa. That's pretty lowdown, if true. nt

[faithfulcitizen]

62. again, enjoy your visit!

to the OP ;)

[tblue]

11. Who was your first choice candidate when there were 7 or 8 Dems running?

Just curious.

[bunnies]

12. "avalanche of lies"

:rofl: The drama! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh the drama!

[calicat]

17. Do you prefer a SWARM of Obama lies? n/t

[KalicoKitty]

20. Will these Obama supporters vote for McCain when Hillary wins the nomination?

[Moochy]

56. That depends on the meaning of "Win"

IF by WIN you mean CHEAT.. then yes we'll vote for your' gal.

[bunnies]

22. lol.

equally as dramatic.

[calicat]

23. Shall I just calmly tell you he's a liar, then ? :)

n/t

[Ken Burch]

38. How much is the McCain campaign paying you?

You obviously can't be a Democrat and use these tactics, since you know that all you're doing is hurting our party.

[JeffR]

46. The McCain campaign pays in yuan

Since Johnny's friend W. turned the dollar to shit.

[JoFerret]

63. Would be nice

We could travel again

[Hepburn]

53. Here is a great page....use it, OK?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

You seem sooooo sincere, we cannot wait to see the star by your name for donating to the DU.

And a big welcome to such a newbie! :hi:

[still_one]

15. If Obama's church is a frickn' big deal for you then don't vote for him

Obama says point blank he didn't support what Wright says, and his voting record indicates that.

You think Obama is a racist, and a liar, and guilty association, then go ahead and cast the first stone, but if by some chance Hillary becomes the nominee, and they start to bring out all the Clinton associations and contradictions, lets see how consistent you are

When they bring up the affairs, both sexual and non-sexual of the Clintons 24/7, and imply that Hillary remaining with Bill Clinton after he constantly cheated on her must be indicitive of her views on fidelity, lets see what you say then

[calicat]

21. His lies and his bigot preacher both bother me

We know Clinton's dirty laundry. I think we're just scraping the surface with this character.

[Yael]

26. Yeah -- now that we have the donor list and the tax records.

She is an open book. :P

[still_one]

27. Then join the those calling for his head, that is your right. I make my choices

based on what I hear him say with my own ears, just as Clinton supporters should do for their candidate, not through some talking head in a box who tells you what to think

[Nexus7]

29. Clinton's associations and contradictions?

I think you Hillary-haters are a little late on the Clinton "associations" and "contradictions"? Kenny-boy Starr and more "illustrious" repubs started that long before the Obama-gang decided that to prop Obama, Hillary had to be damned. They even conducted a $60M witch hunt of the Clintons.

Ok, so now we're going to be looking at some Obama associations. Uh oh, heeeeeeeeeeers Rezkoooooooo. And then there Wriiiiight.

How does it feel fellas, when it is done to your candidate?

[still_one]

31. Incidently, I AM NOT A HILLARY HATER, but if it makes you feel good

to personally refer to me as such, go right ahead.

Yes they did their witch hunt of the Clintons, and they will rewind again if she somehow gets the nomination.

After Clinton referred to her and mccain as qualified to be president, and Obama was just a speech, I went through a lot of back and forth if I would support her if she was the nominee.

I finalized it a few days ago for myself that yes, I would vote for whoever the nominee is, but in my view she has run a terrible campaign.

Those Hillary-haters that you refer to will come out in droves, and that baggage that you say was fulled vetted, will be vetted again like some terrible B-movie. Let's see how she will fight that against the 529s and MSM constant pounding

How do I feel when it is done to my candidate, not good, but he is confronting it at least in a direct and honest way, not like Kerry who tried to ignore it, and he isn't blaming the media for his problems, as the Clinton campaign did a few months ago

[cali]

18. bwahaha. Hilly dear got the rare four pinnochios prize today

from fact check about her disgusting lies about being under fire in bosnia. Great timing, kitty!

[Mezzo]

25. Just goes to show that he'll stop at nothing. nt

[Yael]

28. Proud2BMezzo! So surprised to see you on a thread like this.

[eallen]

32. The extent to which his preacher is controversial? Oh, what a lie!

The degree to which someone is controversial depends very much on how the public perceives him. And whether Obama thinks his pastor controversial depends on how he perceives how the public perceives his pastor. So based on that rock-solid factual basis of perception squared, you find a lie.

:rofl:

:hippie:

[Ken Burch]

35. You do realize that, if these tactics get your conservative candidate nominated

She'll have no right to ask Obama people to support her.

Is there a REASON you're trying to destroy our chances of winning in the fall?

[thoughtcrime1984]

36. GFY

another new low post terrorbot

[Hoof Hearted]

37. Obama has two tin ears and a forked tounge.

[DemGa]

47. Ha ha, yes!

I wonder if Obama is a liar or doesn't know what he's saying half the time. I suspect a bit of both.

[LWolf]

40. Kick, recommend,

here's an extra flamesuit, and :hi:

[RememberWellstone]

48. A year of denials.

That pretty much sums up this race, we do not know who this guy is. I for one am worried.

[calicat]

49. Repeated and pathological lying

Not isolated.

[rndmprsn]

50. hahahaha!

[SoCalDem]

52. Oh. Noes..... and he also fathered two black babies..

cute ones too :)

and I'm betting he's eaten at The Olive Garden :)

[stevietheman]

54. Please stop attacking our nominee Barack Obama. n/t

n/t

[Misanthrope2]

59. Not the nominee. His numbers are falling. N/T

[Barack_America]

57. Has the entire country forgotten LOGIC?

That Obama has heard statements at Trinity some might consider "controversial", DOES NOT MEAN that:

1. He heard the statements that have gotten heavy play on television.
2. The church, as a whole, is considered controversial.

"He has said some things that are considered controversial..."

"I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial."

It's simple logic, and it's frightening that even reporters in this country seem to be lacking in it.

[Misanthrope2]

58. You are correct.

More disgusting is the right wing frames and pandering to Republicans. I do not want Republicans in cabinet, free trade agreements to benefit the rich and to make this a third world country and nuclear power plants built all over the country and a free ride for Wall Street and ducking issues that are controversial and a health plan doomed to failure by not covering all and pandering to insurance companies. He is just another slick politician. And his honeymoon is over.

[Milo_Bloom]

61. When you find an actual lie, let me know.

[cd3dem]

68. How about his denying his relationship with Rezco on National TV during the debate!

[MethuenProgressive]

64. k&r!

[backscatter712]

[NorthernSpy]

66. I know! Pretty nervy of him, making up that story about dodging bullets at the Tuzla airstrip...

Oh, wait...
