Me too Connie. I won’t go to Politico (DNC official site).
jencab on October 30, 2008 at 10:45 PM
Yeah. don’t bother. Story sucks. It covers like 3 of the stupidest Obama rumors. While ignoring the actual true stuff Politico refuses to cover.
lorien1973 on October 30, 2008 at 10:45 PM
This is all very interesting but what matters is taxes, the economy, national security, card check for union elections, the Freedom of Choice Act, the Mexico City Policy, the War on Terror, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Khalidi tape that would kill him in the philly suburbs, and of course the courts.
D0WNT0WN on October 30, 2008 at 10:46 PM
You’re trying real hard to get me to click on a Politico link and read through all the jibber jabber, huh?
It’s not working.
Let the other minions do that.
Screw you.

Mcguyver on October 30, 2008 at 10:51 PM
And even the excuses for not covering the “stupidest” rumors are bogus.
“There is so much evidence” that Osama Obama was born in Hawaii? Such little as Obama has released is open to serious question. It would have been so simple just to release the certificate of live birth and be done with it, but Obama couldn’t be bothered; the only reason more of us haven’t gone full-troofer on this one is that we believe Hillary or the McCain campaign would have gone heavy on this if he had actually been born in Kenya.
BullshiticoPolitico hasn’t covered the dirt on McCain because there isn’t any.They haven’t covered the serious dirt on The Messiah — Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Odinga, his years at Columbia and much, much more — because they are Leg-tinglers for Obama.
Cowards. Eunuchs. Cheap panderers.
No excuses, clowns. You are the NY Slimes of “new media.”
MrScribbler on October 30, 2008 at 10:54 PM
That reminded me of Obama’s “Stop the Smears” site.

No time to fact check Obama.
Rumors that Joe the Plumber cheated playing Candyland with his kids has forced Politico to look into this grave matter that could sway the election.
Can Joe be trusted? Details at 11:00.

That was an anti-climatic QotD. Oh well. The fringe issues on Obama (or Mac for that example) don’t concern me. We have plenty of examples of his philosophy. Like Rush says, without facts, it’s nothing.

JeffinOrlando on October 30, 2008 at 11:22 PM
Politico covers extensively these two stupid ass stories they broke exclusively:
How many houses McCain owns — Who the hell cares!
Palin’s $150,000 wardrobe –Again, who the hell cares!
They give fodder to the liberals and MSM.
jencab on October 30, 2008 at 11:24 PM
If I had to take a stab at this one, more people request that Obama be reported on more because no one is doing it. The left is obviously satisfied with media coverage. But hey, who knows.
V15J on October 30, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Screw them, again I say screw them.
Mcguyver on October 30, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Well, I read it. Is this guy Ben Smith really so uncritical that he accepts anything the Obambi campaign tells him?
The ‘birth certificate’ that the campaign gave to the Daily Kos was shown to be a forgery. There are witnesses to Obambi’s birth in Kenya. So where’s the ‘evidence’ that he’s a ‘natural-born citizen’? The newspaper announcement, which could have been placed after his mother returned with the infant?
It is hard to believe that neither the Clinton nor the McCain campaigns have not nailed Obambi to the wall with this.

How does this make the Quote of the Day?
Kini on October 30, 2008 at 11:42 PM
“Quote of the Day” is a little early Allah. Tito The Builder 8itch slapped Colmesy tonight on H&C. And as good as it was, it is his parting remark that is the “Quote of the Day”. Hell, I’d suggest it should be in the running with the “Quote of the Year”!
I hope you can have the clip and some sagely remarks for us to enjoy with our coffee tomorrow morning.
csdeven on October 30, 2008 at 11:43 PM
The email requests to cover things on Obama are 20-1 vs McCain… Gee, I wonder why that is…

You know Ben Smith must be Noonan’s dropped off kid in Nebraska when she thought he looked like a robot.
I’m just saying…
The kid has defaulted to rote liberal bias, at LEAST… half of the time.
He must be on a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, which, whenever he dips his toes in Obama’s baptismal water he gets tripped back to robot mode.
It’s the only thing that makes sense, since he obviously can’t find his way back home to the Georgetown cocktail parties.
I’m just saying…
Mcguyver on October 30, 2008 at 11:55 PM

Let me be the first to say Obama is not my President no matter how many votes Acorn makes up.
unseen on October 31, 2008 at 12:12 AM
I’m sorry if someone already linked to this but it made my day to find that what we all here at HA suspected or maybe really knew deep down has somewhat been validated. This makes sense and explains why they have gone after Palin the way they have. We joked about the paid Obots flooding online polls and hijacking threads and making sure that all comments went positive for O and now it seems that they are paid to do this, that it’s all an illusion meant to suppress Mac supporters and it’s a well oiled and organized fraud organization.
We all have to grab every eyeore in our lives and take them to the poll on Tuesday to vote for Mac!
McCain and Plain will be the President and
Vice President of the USA!
CCRWM on October 31, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Colmesy told Tito that all the information about Obama’s associations were already reported on. Tito responded thus:
“listen, listen, listen….don’t pretend we American people are estupid. We are esmarter than that. We know the media are in the bank for Obama”
I almost peed! It’s especially gratifying that despite his heavy accent, his grasp of the subject matter and the spin Colmesy was trying to pull on him came through very powerfully. The look on Colmesy face was priceless!
csdeven on October 31, 2008 at 12:20 AM
Colmsey, you’ve got some ’splainin to do!
Laura in Maryland on October 31, 2008 at 12:25 AM
I watched that. Tito was great and Colmes had that arrogant smirk on his face, like he thought he was better and smarter.
Connie on October 31, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Politico has to thread the needle of equal parts leftinoia and rightinoia. It’s just easier to settle on pandering to the side less likely to send you death threats.

CCRWM on October 31, 2008 at 12:34 AM
Ha ha. I like the way they had to call it an “official copy”. What a total joke.
ROFLMAO! The “authenticity” of a newspaper announcement … Oh, how professional. Do these people actually think with these brains?
Monkees randomly banging on typewriters in the back room. That’s about the level of most of the “reporting” these days.

Yes, it was already posted……… and not to scare away the new trolls, try this next time………

Trolls, we know your bosses are pressing you, but do you actually know how much enjoyment we, in the know, get from hearing you thrash about……….?
Fear, creeping up on you, unseen, yet you know it is there… all that you have been told, all that you have been promised, all the “Hope” and “Change” and glorious future that was built upon a stack of lies……. finally being exposed……..
Not sleeping well? Can’t wait to protest and promise violence if “the One” is not elected? Talking only in your circle, but can’t get beyond the “talking points”?
You may have paid thousands of dollars for a college education that you are now on the hook for only to realize it was all propoganda………..
You may now just are realizing that you will have to actually work and provide a service that people will pay for in order to earn a living, and not just lip service……..

Seven Percent Solution on October 31, 2008 at 12:35 AM
When is Obama going to demand that the LAT release the tape? Is it because it shows Obama praising terrorists attacks on Israel? Can’t believe he and the LAT and the MSM who also refuses to demand the tape get away with this. What a terrible election this it. Why give the press all these rights when all they do is abuse them and use them to fix elections?

After most (or all) of the Liberals (Palestinian/Hamas/terrorist sympathizers, or not) have voted for Obama (whether before or after the election) they will be shipped the “wrong DVD” from Netflix and mistakenly served crow from Allen Brothers.
I for one cannot wait to see the look on people’s faces who voted for Obama. Just cannot wait!!

I’ll be so glad when the election is over. Then maybe some of the whiny, bitchy malcontents who have nothing better to do than insult the senior supplier of content on this site will go find a place more receptive to their charming demeanors. The YouTube comments sections come to mind.
MadisonConservative on October 31, 2008 at 1:47 AM
No, morons at Politico, it is not driven by a desire to see “political Kryptonite.”
It’s driven by a desire to truly know if Osama Obama is the lying Marxist anti-Semitic totalitarian he appears to be.
Hiding facts is not the same as telling the truth.
I’d worry about the election one hell of a lot less if I didn’t feel that Obama will, at a minimum, seriously damage the nation if he is elected.
Part of that fear comes from what Obama himself says. More comes from the uncritical way the media treats him, and their seeming unconcern about his record, beliefs and associates.

I was listening to the guy who infiltrated the Weatherman today on the radio. I don’t remember his full name. But he was saying how Ayers would always berate them for not doing enough. Ayers delivered a message from Dohrn where she complained that she had to do all the work — get the material to make the bomb, make the bomb, and plant the bomb at the SF police station that killed an officer.
He also said that Ayers/Dohrn’s statement that they tried not to hurt people was bullshit. They insisted all the bombs have plenty of shrapnel. This is born out by the Grenwich Village bomb that went off in Ayer’s girlfriend’s hands. It was packed with nails. He also talked how they planned reeducation camps for those who didn’t get with the revolution. Those who refused to be re-educated, would be “eliminated” which they estimated to be 25 million people. What good little Stalinists. And these are the people Comrade Barry pals around with who don’t have a moment of remorse.
Obama and his wife are sickening. What is wrong with this country that anyone would consider voting for this creep?

A snippet…from my debunking of that punk.
PierreLegrand on October 31, 2008 at 8:00 AM
The Obama-Odinga denial is the easiest one to debunk. CBS Chicago travelled with Obama on the visit and they note the pair being together. Back in 2006 no one had any reason to obfuscate the relationship between the two.
Here’s my take on Politico’s misinformation-
http://crypticsubterranean.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-odinga-and-politico.html
Jay Mac on October 31, 2008 at 8:09 AM
Re: Odinga
Then Obama goes to Kenya and speaks to crowds and takes pictures with Odinga and that’s a relationship that doesn’t exist?
Excuse me?
Maybe Politico ought to try a little harder.
