Today, AP reporter Nedra Picker gives all of us a lesson in how to deliver a smear against a political opponent without actually telling a bald-faced lie. Her article is a wonderful display of journalistic weaseling and rampant bias, made more evident …

Barack the Magic Negro will clear this up with ONE SWEEP OF HIS MIGHTY HAND!!! (add echoing)

I read Time in college and it seemed OK. Then I picked it up again ten years later and tossed in it the trash. Self serving party rag.Hening on June 12, 2008 at 4:16 PM

It is disturbing that TIME has access to recruit students for new customers within universities and schools.

Universities,colleges and some high schools, allow TIME, special status– to introduce students to TIME by offering a “free” subsciption set-up, to order to ease students (within a few months) into renewal with an annual charge to the credit card-unless notified in advance to cancel.

By enabling TIME to recuit new customers, indirectly, universities are helping to build support for the Democratic Party. I have not seen the same opportunities given to conservative publications. It is one more academic tool to push their students into liberalism.

So I don’t know if its prudent to blame it on him.

BS. He is the only one who put these so-called rumors out and flogged them like his pea-brained life depended on it.

Everyone knows it. The media know it. Democrats and left bloggers know it. Larry is a slimeball that the media and left bloggers loved and propped up for his retarded anti-bush spew and the left and the media can’t go after slimeball Larry because they staked so much of their hate Bush on him.

It never existed. It’s only a rumor . It will never
be mentioned again cuz Andrea says it’s been put to rest.

Now in other news we have Michelle Obama calling
Rev Sharpton a darky. Oh, Dang . . . Another rumor.

Why was this guy listening to Rush?

To know what facts he needed to try to refute.

In the Time article, it says Obama’s campaign knew about the rumors since April.

Larry Johnson went public with his knowledge of the rumors in May.

So I don’t know if its prudent to blame it on him.

Obama’s campaign may have known about it since April- but virtually no one else did until Larry Johnson (serial fabricator) posted it, with details of the alledged tape.

The right wing blogs that the shameless liar from Time accuses of spreading the rumors all based their comment on Johnson’s article, and for the most part were very skeptical- including here at HA.

Almost everyone who’s read about this rumor on blogs- right or left- knows where the rumor started, and that’s with liberal Hillary supporter Larry Johnson.

Every Messiah-seeking missile the Clintonistas threw at Obambi will now be attributed to evil republicans, conservative blogs and talk show hosts.

It’s coming. And often. Say it over, and over, and over again. There, it’s a fact now.

How many elections cycles have we played this game?

I’d normally say this demonstrates how clueless the MSM is, but here there is no other possible explanation except a deliberate lie. Everyone who has heard the rumor knows precisely where it came from, and everyone knows that that is……

Larry Johnson went public with his knowledge of the rumors in May.

So I don’t know if its prudent to blame it on him.

Wasn’t Larry Johnson the guy that had Karl Rove indicted, arrested, and on his way to prison? He had the scoop on Rove. He doesn’t very rightwing.

Yep. That’s the guy!
