Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama the “Christian”

Obama is such a devout Christian that he…um…mocks the Bible.

His words, folks, not Jeremiah Wright’s words.

comPost’s Kurtz disputes McCain’s ad based on “bad information”…which, um, was published in comPost!

Ya gotta hand it to Howie Kurtz of the Washington comPost.  He’s so knee-deep in the tank fot The One that he’s disputing the ad McCain put out about Obambi’s close ties to failed Fannie Mae exec Frank Raines.  Says Howie:

The Ad: Obama has no background in economics. Who advises him? The Post says it’s Franklin Raines, for “advice on mortgage and housing policy.” Shocking. Under Raines, Fannie Mae committed “extensive financial fraud.” Raines made millions. Fannie Mae collapsed. Taxpayers? Stuck with the bill. Barack Obama. Bad advice. Bad instincts. Not ready to lead.

Analysis: This John McCain ad is based on a disputed premise.

There’s no dispute that Obama has no background in economics — but then, neither does McCain, which makes this an odd charge for the Arizona senator to hurl.

Fannie Mae did collapse, requiring a government takeover, and Raines, its former chairman, paid $25 million in April to settle a case brought by federal authorities investigating his role in the agency’s accounting problems. But he has never been a close adviser to Obama.

Yeah, really…where on Earth would McCain get such a crazy idea?  Oh, I dunno…maybe from Howie’s own friggin’ employer?

In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae’s chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case’s D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters. (From July 15, 2008 – Ed.)

In the current crisis, their biggest backers have been Democrats such as Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.). Two members of Mr. Obama’s political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae.  (From August 27, 2008 – Ed.)

Maybe Kurtz is telling us that the content contained within the pages of his newspaper isn’t worth the paper on which it is printed.  That might be one of the first times I can ever recall an MSM’er telling us that his own media source employer’s not credible.  :lol:

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Obama lies about Fannie/Freddie connections

McCain launches a new ad that accurately connects former Fannie Mae exec Frank Raines to the Obama campaign.  Obama retorts that McCain’s making stuff up and smearing him, asserting that Raines has never advised him in any capacity at any time.

There’s just one problem with that: Obama is, as usual, lying through his arugula-eating teeth.  Observe the following two excerpts from the Washington comPost:

In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae’s chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself. He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case’s D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health-care companies and more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters. (From July 15, 2008 – Ed.)

In the current crisis, their biggest backers have been Democrats such as Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.). Two members of Mr. Obama’s political circle, James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae.  (From August 27, 2008 – Ed.)

Funny how the Obamessiah has never challenged the veracity of these stories in the comPost, but now that McCain is running commercials that simply restate the comPost stories, suddenly McCain’s lying. 

Either the comPost is wrong and McCain is simply repeating bad information, or the Obamaliar is playing fast and loose with the truth yet again.  Call me crazy, but I’m leaning towards the latter.  Either way, though, McCain can’t be lying.

Financial crisis proves that Democrats are idiots

In addition to Reid’s comments that they don’t know what to do, this nugget illustrates their absurdity:

The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn’t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can’t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments — Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven’t ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that “no one knows what to do” at the moment. …

Another crisis, another Democrat vacation.

So the Bush administration’s policies are supposedly responsible for the financial sector mess we see right now, correct?  OK, then the Democrat response is to…ask for help from the administration?  In other words, criticize the administration for its actions, then demand that the “inept” administration do what you admittedly have no idea what to do.  Hypocritical, no?

By the way, when McCain says that Obama puts himself first and his country second, he’s 100% correct.  What a sad sack of anti-American crap!
