Campbell Brown: Just a reminder that Obama lied about accepting public funding

I was going to exile this to Headlines but CNN’s done its good journalistic deed for the day by rejecting Team Barry’s half-hour of propaganda power, so let’s give it a little extra play. It’s only because The One is, in fact, a liar and a hypocrite on this point (as duly noted by honest Democrat Bob Kerrey) that he can afford tonight’s extravaganza, a fact not lost on Brown, to her credit.

Have you noticed, by the way, that these commentary segments are now a recurring feature of her show? It’s no accident. With O’Reilly and Hannity killing CNN on the right and now Olby and Maddow beating them on the left, straight news reporting during primetime is as dead as, well, public finance is.

For all of you who occasionally whine about AP and your perception that he might take a particularly nuanced position on certain (ahem) conservative social issues (guilty as charged) – let this serve as a sort of palate cleanser.

Who else in the blogosphere has his points quoted verbatim for no other reason than it is perfect and needs to be said twice. Only AP. (Emphasis … mine).

So glad you asked! Even the dKos frothing-at-the-mouth-libtards are QUESTIONING HotAir’s Ed Morrissey:

“Despite so much evidence that Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen, some conservative bloggers have been as dismissive of this story as the mainstream media. “Let’s stop chasing absurd conspiracy theories that make it more difficult to win the real arguments in this election,” Ed Morrissey of Hot Air wrote, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs, who is the Father of Konservative Kerning Analysis has banned mention of the birth certificate story on his site and AJ Strata of Strata-Sphere did his own scientific analysis to disprove it. Who got to them, I wonder?”

.
Ed, care to answer that question? I’d like to know too.

So…. since he lied can you actually point to where he promised to accept public funding? Or was that in itself a lie?

I was going to exile this to Headlines but…

.
Like Ed did with THIS HA headline?

“Obama is an American. No, really…”

“I really thought we’d put this conspiracy theory to rest over the summer, but it has arisen like a zombie yet again to suck the credibility out of the conservative blogosphere. I have had at least 40 e-mails begging me to watch this video…’“

.
What are you going to say if Obama wins, and this suit which is headed to the Supreme Court, reveals the merits of the case against Obama’s citizenship? You will have to answer to everyone about why you BURIED THAT STORY OR AS ALLAH CALLED IT WITH HIS STORY, “EXILED THIS TO THE HEADLINES”

Sounds like some concern trolls have dropped by to distract us from the real issues again.

I hope you’re not including me in your post. I’ve been posting almost since HotAir started. My post may have more to do with this thread’s style (almost exiled to the headlines) than it’s substance, but I’m no troll.
.
I’m just frustrated that the subject of Obama’s citizenship HAS YET TO HAVE A THREAD TO ADDRESS, DEBUNK, SUPPORT THE TOPIC.
.
I saw an opening here, so I took another stab at it. Sorry it’s OT, I should have labled it that way.

Barry is American as ~~apple pie~~ disco.

Can we please cut it out with the stupid ‘Obama not a legal citizen’ crap? The fact that some idiot brought a lawsuit doesn’t legitimize the claim! Ever hear of frivolous lawsuits?

Obama has produced his certificate of live birth, LGF has it, Hotair has debunked it…let’s get on to the real issues here, like oh I don’t know, redistributionism, socialized healthcare, weak foreign policy, and the million and one other nightmares that are in danger of becoming a reality in less than a week.

This guy is enough of a problem without all of us conservatives wasting our resources tilting at windmills.
