Take the Bush-McCain challenge — five quotes, all you have to do is identify who said them. It is harder than you think! http://www.bush-mccainchallenge.com/index.html
You would think they would have people checking for things like this. McCain’s newest political ad shows him with some “supporters” but if you look closely, you can see that at least one of them is wearing an Obama shirt. You can see the original ad here.
“Yesterday, Barack Obama was speaking to a Jewish group, and he told them that his name Barack is the same as the Jewish word ‘baruch,’ which means one who’s blessed. That’s what he said, yeah. Obama had a harder time explaining his middle name, Hussein. Things got quiet there” –Conan O’Brien “And when speaking in Montana, Barack […]
Hillary Clinton keeps claiming that her husband’s primary race lasted until June. However, in his memoir, Bill Clinton says the race was over in April: “On April 7, we also won in Kansas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. On April 9, Paul Tsongas announced that he would not reenter the race. The fight for the nomination was […]
According to a new study, McCain voted 100% of the time in line with President Bush’s wishes in 2008, and 95% of the time in 2007. In the last 8 years, McCain only fell below 90% twice. Unfortunately, one of the caveats of this study is that McCain misses so many votes in the senate […]
Remember the group that swiftboated John Kerry in the last election? Now there is the “Vets for Freedom” that is trying to do the same thing to Obama. And some of the main people behind “Vets for Freedom” are also on McCain’s campaign. UPDATE: Daily Kos points out that coordination between a 527 group and […]
In an ironic role reversal this weekend, Obama spoke of his support for restoring veteran’s benefits, while McCain (the “war hero”) spent Memorial Day defending his vote against veterans and even tried the old “smear the messenger” trick of attacking Obama because he never served in the military. But apparently McCain’s record on veterans’ issues […]
I’m not sure if this is ironic, or if everything else coming from the Mainstream Media is what is truly ironic. John Harris, in Politico — masters of media hype — has published a story about … media hype. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10604.html What makes the situation even more ironic is that it feeds the problem where the […]
Another Gem from humorist Andy Borowitz: Responding to a chorus of outrage touched off by her comments about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) made a bold attempt at damage control today by distancing herself from herself. Many political observers had assumed Sen. Clinton would respond in some manner to the […]
“Barack Obama got a big endorsement this week. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who, believe it or not, is a former exulted cyclops of the KKK, no kidding around, said he will cast his superdelegate vote for Barack Obama. Not a great time for Hillary Clinton when even former Klan members are supporting Barack […]
