Edited on Sun Feb-03-08 06:52 PM by Neecy
This video, as well as the 'obamatruth' website, was produced by a well-known right-wing operative. Sad that this goddamn trash is pimped on a Democratic site.

11. Why ?Dick Morris and Drudge are routinely used as sources
for anti Hillary posts. Not too mention Andrew Sullivans and Chris Hitchens.

I agree with you, but both sides do it when it suites them.

14. this crap is a new low
And I'd object if an anti-Hillary video made by a RW smear merchant was circulated here. This shit has no place on this site.

15. his name is Joe Novak, he registered the domain
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...


http://alternet.org/blogs/peek/47168
A new smear website, whose name and URL I won't dignify with publicity, is running with a fairly professional-looking smear video against potential '08 candidate for president, Barack Obama.

Fox has already been burned by their attempted, and debunked, smear.

Now the further right is trying its hand.

Turns out the site is registered to one "Joe Novak," who's known, according to the Chicago Sun Times, as "Low Blow Joe" for his dirty tactics.

IF this is the same Joe Novak, that is. Though given the fact that this Novak runs Wherethemoneygoes.com and that the smear site includes a link of theirs may provide a clue...

Novak, as of August, 2006, worked for:

"Indianapolis insurance mogul J. Patrick Rooney, a right-wing ideologue who has poured millions into GOP causes, especially the so-called Health Savings Accounts, which theoretically would help Americans obtain affordable insurance, but in reality would benefit the healthy and wealthy at the expense of the sick and poor."


"Rooney is no friend of the Illinois Hospital Association, which has made bipartisan campaign donations to the tune of $615,000, including money to both Blagojevich and his Republican opponent Judy Baar Topinka."

Coincidentally, this latest smear campaign focuses inordinately on Obama's wife and her position in the health care industry.

Novak's benefactor Rooney also just happened to be one of the bigger funders behind the sickeningly racist GOP ads leading up the '06 elections. Here's one:


Michael: And if you make a little mistake with one of your ho’s, you’ll want to dispose of that problem toot sweet, no questions asked, right?


Dennis: Naw, that’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed …


Michael: Huh. Really? (pause) Well, maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican!

But let's be honest about what we're witnessing here: Terror in the hearts of the GOP and its fellow travelers.

And terror is something with which they're very intimate....

32. Post a link and no summary in your words? What's that all about?
Isn't that what the point here is, that a link can be a biased source? Just tell me what you think is erroneous about the OP.

30. Other than where it's linked to,
What isn't true about the post?

Sometimes folks don't know which sites are right and which are left. I sure don't always know.

But, if it is the truth, shouldn't that be addressed as well as the link? Does it always have to be a matter of who we can slam rather than the content of the remarks?

36. If it is the truth, shouldn't that be addressed
It's real easy to duck the hard questions by claiming that everyone is a troll.

What about the hospital dumping and the subsequent fine isn't true?

That's what happens if you don't say something nice about Obama. There's no more rational discourse here, you can only speak nice of Obama or pay the price.

I've had it with the mess. Alert, Ignore and Hide Thread are my friends. Anybody who is interested only in disruption and attacking rather than actual discussion is not worthy of my attention.
