GOP's only hope of sinking Obama: death by a thousand little cuts
The RW lie machine just keeps cranking out these petty, ridiculous & outlandish "revelations" about
Obama's "muslim roots", and trot out known liars like Larry Sinclair to level defamatory accusations,
and drone on about Obama's "crazy ex-pastor" etc. etc. ...and the M$M is all too glad to cover the lies.

Nevermind there's no substance or truth to these kind of attacks, just repeat something often enough and
mission accomplished.

Does anyone know Obama's strategy for overcoming the RW lie machine? It doesn't look so good if Obama's
forced to be continually answering these attacks with the truth, at the expense of keeping focused on
the real issues, like Iraq, the economy, gas prices, torture, etc.?? :shrug:

1. We've seen all this before, and Obama's numbers keep rising.
He responds forcefully to the smears. And, he throws opening punches. The M$M will keep it up as long as Obama is leading in the polls. They want it close for the moola.

The smears aren't working.

Obama's dad was 80% Arab. :eyes:

4. That thing is seizure inducing.
It makes me want to run away - as far and fast as I can go.

5. MSM is pushing it: CBS evening news just showed excerpts of rumours (text
typed out on the TV image) about his "swearing in on the Koran" making it look like news.
