    If it sounds too good to be true (in playing right into one's political beliefs), it is always wise to dig a little before spreading it further.

    FactCheck.org : The Obama Phone?

    i guess it doesn't matter where the phone came from if members of his base think it came from obama. for me it wasn't even about the phone, it's about the entitlement attitude of many obama voters being demonstrated in plain view.

    OK...if you think a video of one voter makes a point.

    I think it is dangerous to start down that slippery slope.

    And I think it does matter where the phones come from, given that it is purposefully contributing to false stereotypes.

    people do the same thing with attacks on conservatives here, just thought i'd help even the playing field. there's more than enough voice from the left on this board to say the least.

    I only speak for myself and I try to post facts (maybe not always successfully) or occasionally with tongue in cheek, not perpetuate disproved innuendo.

    I think this new Samuel L Jackson rhyming Obama campaign video is creative, perhaps a bit over the top:



    “Sorry, my friends, but there’s no time to snore. / An out-of-touch millionaire just declared war,”​
    “On schools, the environment, unions, fair pay / we’re all on our own if Romney has his way.​
    And he’s against safety nets. / If you fall, tough luck. /​
    So, I strongly suggest that you wake the fuck up.”​

    But I can see where it might ruffle the feathers of conservatives.

    Yeah you know when unions pay people to protest it's totally different then when the Koch Brothers do it.

    what's the point? it does ruffle my feathers, but it's because he voted for obama because he's black. i can't respect that decision at all. if he voted for obama based on the platform and not the color of skin i could respect that. voting based on race just discredits this whole poem in my eyes.

    A new right wing pseudo-documentary, Dreams From My Real Father, claims that Obama’s actual father was the poet and left-wing activist Frank Marshall Davis, who Obama's mother met through her father, who was really a CIA agent merely posing as a furniture salesman . The narrator, speaking as if he were Obama reading his autobiography. “It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that my real father, Frank Marshall Davis, nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii, and has been quietly infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities, and media for decades.”

    It evidently has been mailed to thousands of voters in swing states and Tea Party groups and conservative churches are screening it at every opportunity. It was shown at a right-wing film festival in Tampa during the Republican National Convention, and by Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum Council in Missouri. Alabama GOP Chairman Bill Armistead recently recommended it during a speech, saying, “I’ve seen it. I verified that it is factual, all of it. People can determine.”

    A snippet from the full "documentary"


    To give it even more class, it includes pictures purporting to show Obama’s mother in full bondage mode.



    Just when you think Obama haters couldnt possibly stoop any lower, they find a way.

    You mean the purported pictures of Obama's mother, Dr. Ann Dunham, the anthropologist, that were first circulated among wingnut sites in '08 and debunked?

    But resurfaced again to an equally receptive audience of bigots and haters.

    It is not difficult at all to show the bigotry that has been at the heart of many Obama haters on the right for the last four years.

    Ann didnt help her husbands cause with this remark:

    Great.. a president whose mental well-being is in question by the person closest to him.

    in the primaries he did so well by not 'fucking up' or taking any risks. now that he's the nominee something stupid happens with his campaign every couple days.
