Perhaps the New York Times has discovered that trying to cover up Obama’s missteps, lies and indiscretions is like stepping on an anthill . . . the ants just keep shooting out from under your shoes.

Embryonic stem cell research is becoming my most hated lie of the left. As stated in this thread, the gov of WA is omitting the ”embryonic’ part in her dishonest ads. Back in Michael Steele’s senate race the same thing happened to him. I think the Michael J Fox ads may have run in MD that cycle. Liberal lies dont surprise me, but this one is so amazingly bold it pisses me off really bad. It’s easy to explain to people how it’s a lie and that embryonic research shows no real promise, but I can’t run tv ads explaining that like the lying campaigns and their media enablers can.

Btw, O/T, but rockmom I really like your posts. I’m probably not the only one on here who wishes you would consolidate some of your comments in your own blog.

I’ve read more carefully, and I see you’re contradicting yourself. If the bill called for “age appropriate” education, then it did not call for teaching everything to kindergartners, which is what people hear when they’re told Obama was for “comprehensive sex education for kindergartners.” I thought word games were for the left-wingers.

Ed, you need to reread the sex-ed bill. You are not addressing the clause that mandates “age appropriate” sex ed.

Political reporters have expected spoon feeding from candidates, elected officials and agencies for years. The only new development is that they now claim they have a right to the pablum and are demanding shield laws for protection when they print the slanders that are fed to them by anonymous insiders.

I’m still not seeing anything about Obama’s disgraceful ad about McCain’s staff (it says Charlie Black and Rick Davis are lobbying, which they aren’t, and says Davis lobbied for companies that took jobs overseas, which he didn’t, and shows Nancy Pfotenhauer’s photo as a lobbyist, which she isn’t), or the one about the Corning plant that Corning has asked them to take down. Both of these ads are on heavy rotation in Philadelphia.

The Times also neglects to mention that Arlen Specter has denounced the Obama radio ad on stem cell research, and Specter is the absolute authority on that issue.

Wouldn’t it more more accurate to say that Obama wanted kindergartners to have age-appropriate education on AIDS and condom use?

JohnJ on September 26, 2008 at 12:33 PM

Fine, but what he described as the bill was not the in the language of the bill or the spirit of the specifics. The facts of the bill and the rhetoric of support for the bill contradicted Obama’s explanation of why he supported it.

Of course to him, only he gets it.

NYT has cried “villain” so many times that no one believes them anymore. So if they tell the truth, who will notice?

Same point I made a few days ago – the media has debased the profession of journalism so badly over the past 8 years with their incessant propagandizing for Democrats and vitriolic smearing of Bush, it would now be almost impossible for an honest hournalist (if we were generous and assumed that one might conceivably exist) to make a living in the field!

The profession of journalism has entered into a suicide pact with their lovers in the political left, and it is about to be consummated.

And it’s GOVERNMENT FUNDING OF EMBRYONIC Stem Cell research. Which I agree with, as long as RvW is law, we can’t stop the ESC research, but we sure as hell don’t have to fund it.

There’s been an onslaught of Obama campaign ads here in Pennsylvania. Normally I mute the TV or change the channel as soon as I see Obama spewing his garbage. Last night I actually took the time to listen to his message.

It was one whopper of a lie after another, directed at McCain. I felt like I was watching Olbermann on Countdown.

Just flat out lies, that the sheeple will gobble up without giving the message any scrutiny or thought. Sickening.

This is the story The New York Slimes will point to for decades to come to prove they are not biased in favor of the Democrats. Its a token story, don’t expect another one like anytime soon.

The New York Times in spite of this story consists of a large staff of commies that love undermining The Republic, never forget that.

Sorry about the confusion. I think you did a much better job than I in getting the point across. I was trying to say that there was no distinction made (in the ads or otherwise) as to what type of stem cell research (embryonic vs non-embryonic) McCain and/or Palin opposes. It is a very important distinction as those that oppose embryonic stem cell research do not necessarily oppose all stem cell research.

Hopefully that was a little more clear :)
