Fuck me, but nothing is beneath these people. Lie about everything, verify nothing, character assassination the order of the day. It never fucking stops, does it. And we’re still two years out. They must be scared to death that this guy might stand things on end, but fear-mongering on this basis is just beneath contempt.
Hey, it’s a two-fer – smear Hillary as well as Obama. Yep, this is going to be a nasty, nasty fight. I hope luc remembers to bring his brass knuckles.
Yup, it’s time for the new majority to start twisting the knife.
It doesn’t pay to to play nice with evildoers.
My first reaction is to wonder who are “these people.” Usually, when I hear that used we’re talking about blacks, jews, or whatever group is being hatefully generalized about by the person doing the generalizing.
It seems like we’re referring to “right-wing fucktards” in general and more specifically the ones at Insight magazine.
This is the first I’ve heard of this “allegation,” if we can call it that, and I’m not familiar with “Insight Magazine.”
Ok, here’s the story at Insight:
Quoting unnamed sources. I’m not a fan of that. I wasn’t a fan all the times that it happened when Right-Wingers were the target of the attack, and not a fan of it now.
Here’s their response to the criticism:
I agree with the argument that unnamed sources get used a lot, but I don’t think that makes it right. Hmmmm. Okay, reading some more.
Well.
Okay, so they do like a bunch of right-wing fucktards, don’t they? I say that regardless of whether the story is accurate or not. I have no idea and I don’t really care.
Obama does look to be Hillary’s opponent, and looking for dirt is de rigeur, so I woudn’t hold that against her team if it’s true, nor do I really care whether it was a public school or a Madrassa or whatever. Doesn’t make a lick of difference, IMO.
I’m still trying to decide if Obama is the real deal or not. He might be. I hope say.
Ok. Summarize.
Clearly Insight is right-wing, and they do seem very tardish, and I guess the statement about “these people” is… fair in this context.
I have no issues with this rant.
The amusing thing is that it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. It’s like outing someone. Who cares? The denials only add fuel to the discussion, when the most expeditious thing to do would be ignoring it, especially something as easily debunked as this.
I, for one, was worried that the Republicans were going to stop giving advice to the Democrats. It relieves me to see that they are still so concerned about the best interests of the Democratic Party.
And re the OP, how can the “pundits” still be pulling this Rushesque bullshit?
Stating that Obama attended a strict Islamic school is not a fucking opinion. It’s either the truth or a lie. They’re lying.
You know what? My previous post was overly naive. How quickly I forget about how people care about the stupidest stuff and will believe anything they are told. Case in point: the smearing of John McCain in South Carolina in 2000.
Silly me, being optimistic and all. I should really know better.
Thanks for saving me the trouble.
Wow, look who’s turning into one of those elitist liberals that looks down on the electorate! What’s next?

Can we all just agree that Gary Condit doesn’t have a snowball’s chance?
Well, he’s probably not going to get the Levy family’s votes, if that’s what you’re asking. I think we can all agree on that.

Yeah, how do we start a petition drive to change a Doper’s username without his input?
Nah, that wouldn’t be nice. Better give him a vote.
Hey, Doors, how do you feel about the name Arianna Huffington?
I’d rather die.
It is a little over the top-how about Arianna Doors, USAF?
Don’t you guys have better things to do, like raise my taxes or take my guns or something? You’re killing me here.
Sorry, but that’s not within the purview of the SDMB membership.
How about a nice autographed picture of Bill and Hillary?
I’d take an autographed picture of Bill if he promised not to jizz on it, but Hillary? Not a chance.
Another presidential election; another reason to stay overseas.
How about if you just let us turn you gay? We get a free San Francisco vacation for converting anyone in the military. All you have to do is sign a piece of paper. If you want, you can just say you’re bi and currently in a relationship with a woman. You’ll officially be registered as a member of the GLBT community but you don’t actually have to change your lifestyle.
What do you say? You do get pie. Did I mention the pie?
He’s in the Air Force. Not the Navy.
