Then again liberals are so smart I guess it's just a red herring. Maybe he can get some tax advice from al franken or some of the donkeys in congress. The guy was tossing a football in his yard with his son and here comes the Obamessiah spreading the bs...err wealth. Joe asks a simple question and now liberals everywhere from the network news divisions to internet trolls have crapped their pants and rushed to attack this guy.

To shift focus from an idea to a person in the hopes that the idea is somehow forgotten or discredited without them ever having to actually address that idea.<BR/><BR/>It is the only recourse of those who reject reason. It's pure emotionalism - pure whim-worship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-86269967755990786332008-10-17T10:06:00.000-04:002008-10-17T10:06:00.000-04:00Kilo,You miss the point.

The points with Obama's proposed policies are the real issues. Why is the media not concentrating (as Senator Obama so eloquently stated in the last debate) FOCUSING ON THE ISSUES, NOT THE POLITICS OF OLD.<BR/>Obama is just another liberal Democratic politician, supported by the major "news" networks. None contradicted the "misstatements" or out right lies made by Obama during the last or the previous debates.<BR/>We now know more about Joe than Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-16635019952426591872008-10-17T08:47:00.000-04:002008-10-17T08:47:00.000-04:00The McCain campaign says they didn't vet this guy....The McCain campaign says they didn't vet this guy. Huge mistake when you end up mentioning him about 20 times in front of 50 million voters. And what's so surprising about the push back from the Dems? That's standard procedure, especially after Joe ignited passions with his "dances like Sammy Davis" remark. <BR/><BR/>As for Ayers, if the McCain's team is relying on the mainstream media to nail him, it's not doing its job. The media didn't initiate the Swift Boat attacks or the Whitewater investigation. Sadly, all of this is just evidence of the McCain's inability to manage his campaign effectively. Sorry, I'm just a conservative who believes in personal responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-20092293746481957132008-10-17T08:12:00.000-04:002008-10-17T08:12:00.000-04:00Collectivist Derangement Syndrome is the only prob...Collectivist Derangement Syndrome is the only problem.

Which got him the obvious press attention you would expect.<BR/><BR/>Damn that Obama eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
