BEWARE OF 'SWIFT' BOOK, OBAMA

By CINDY ADAMS

June 11, 2008 -- AS for who's dishing what - at least in terms of mouths and ears around me - it's away at this moment from Lindsay, Britney and all those Jessicas. Right now it's Obama, Hillary, even Bloomy. So:

Mr. Presidential Democratic Nominee Obama, fasten your seat belt. We're talking a bumpy ride. Scorched earth policy. Swift Boat time. The GOP's first salvo is a book. Already written by National Review's David Freddoso, whose playpen is politics and who's done stuff zapping Romney, the so-called meanness of Rudy, which one is the real John Kerry, etc.

Publisher, Regnery. Ships to stores, July. On shelves, August. Price, $37.95. Title, the longest in captivity: "Scorcher. The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate."

The so-called scorching? That his politics-of-change will be liberal politics as usual. That the Rev. Wright thing reveals a deceitful nature. That his inexperience is more dangerous than any threat we have today. That as commander in chief this non-Republican is a serious threat to our national security.

Their projected p.r. TV lineup includes Fox's "Hannity & Colmes" and "The O'Reilly Factor," CNN's Glenn Beck, MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Radio: Michael Reagan, Laura Ingraham, G. Gordon Liddy.

1. the voters know everything already

anything else in the book would be lies

[ErinBerin84]

2. Gee, quite a line up there. LOL, "media's favorite candidate".

Where was the media tour for the people who wrote "The Real McCain" or "Free Ride: John McCain and the Media"? I saw the author of "Free Ride" on KO once.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. Do you really think that the corporate MSM allow the truth about McCain to get out? The only one

reporting on McCain is Keith Olbermann.

[ErinBerin84]

8. yeah, I was kidding, I know that it will never happen

And it's expected that most of the line up is Fox, but figures that smug asshole Joe Scarborough would have him on too.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. No doubt about Scarborough.

:puke:

[AngryOldDem]

3. Regnery....why am I not surprised?

The vanity press of the mean and spiteful.

[blogslut]

4. Yet another Regenery book

Surprise. Surprise.

Sounds like they don't got much but re-hashed blah, blah, blah.

[MannyGoldstein]

5. I Read A Preview Copy... Actuallly, It May Be Pretty Damaging

Apparently, Obama regularly mingles with homo sapiens, and there's even a grainy photo of Obama at a fundraiser thrown by a known thespian.

Brutal stuff - Obama's days are numbered.

[WinkyDink]

13. He's a long-time proponent of muslin.

[onetwo]

7. Awesome

Low information voters don't read books.

[Swagman]

10. $39.95 ?....only those who already hate him would buy it

..let them waste their money

[MH1]

12. And libraries. (or they will put donated copies on the shelves)

I was astounded to walk into my library in 2004 and see the spines of TWO copies of "Unfit for Command" disgracing the shelves right at eye level.

There were pro-Kerry books as well but not as blatantly placed.

Don't take this lightly, folks.

I will be checking my library to see how quickly, and how many copies of this book appear. Then I will ask where they came from. It had better not be paid for with my taxes.

[blondeatlast]

23. A few copies are, most aren't. We have to represent a braod viewpoint, you know.

I'll post later how Regnery manipulates the bestseller lists...

[CoffeeCat]

11. OHhhhhhhhhhh....how novel.

I just want to yawn in their faces and say, "What else ya got?"

These old codger thugs are still following Rove's playbook, which American will completely reject.

America understands that John Kerry was "Swiftboated" and that they made up lies out of whole cloth.

America will not fall for this again. Well, most of American will not fall for it again. Look
at the PR line up----Fox, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, etc. They'll be preaching to the thug
choir. They'll all get whipped up into a lather as they continue with their parade of hate.
Let them amuse themselves into thinking that lie-based attacks will oh-so damage Obama and
take him down! What a bunch of creeps--myopic creeps--these thugs are.

They're just so pathetic.

Obama truly is new politics. He won't engage in this animal-like behavior. While these thug neocons
are out lying, trashing and gossiping like sorority girls--Obama will be talking policy, ideas and
change--and he'll be dignified, diplomatic and respectful.

This is going to get good, folks. I almost feel sorry for these pathetic thugs. They have no
ideas and they must rely on National Enquirer tactics to get their lemming based revved up
and into the voting booth.

Pathetic and sad.

[high density]

14. The media's favorite candidate

The media that says the race is tied when he's 6 pts up on McCain. The media that gave every second chance and benefit of the doubt possible to challenger Clinton. The media that can't read two sentences and is now spanking him for refusing to kneecap himself with public financing.... Yeah, they LOVE him.

[Connie_Corleone]

15. Not too many people will be buying it at that ridiculous price.

Obama is liberal, he's inexperienced, rev. wright, blah blah blah.

If that's all they got, then the republicans are in serious trouble in November.

:evilgrin:

[elfin]

16. They don't care - not doing it for money, but

to WIN - with more power and money to them after the election. Will be on remainder tables and handed out for free to get the lies out and about.

The advance numbers on Amazon will be salted by Rupert etal to make it look "legitimate".

[eShirl]

17. promoting it on Morning Joke is a nice touch

seriously though, 40 bucks is a lot for birdcage liner

[Colobo]

18. The usual smears. Nothing new.

[Peacetrain]

19. All this will do is feed the 20 % of loonies who would not

even consider Barack Obama from the get go.. the right wing nutjobs, who can be convinced that Obama is a Muslim..because they had no intention of ever looking at him in the first place.. and those FEW democrats who are biting their tongues and waving the hands in the hair..all they want is to do a I TOLD YOU SO.. they have no interest in the democratic agenda at all..

[caledesi]

20. Not this time! NT

[LTR]

21. Yeah, but nobody buys Regnery books

Most of their sales are in bulk, and then they wind up available to conservative book clubs for a buck each.

The only ones gullible enough to buy this shit are the crybaby conservative FOX Noise crowd. Nobody else will give a shit.

Regnery is the Troma Films of the book world. Lots of hype from the faithful, but the mainstream could give a shit.

[blondeatlast]

24. Exactly. I'll trry to search one of my posts about that (I was a library book buyer)

but I gotta do housework right now.

[blondeatlast]

22. Regnery--I've explained several times on this board how they manipulate

their books to # status. Maybe I'll try to search it later.

[anonymous171]

25. Obama has nothing on McCain as far as media favoritism is concerned.

[fortyfeetunder]

26. Sure I will buy a copy

and burn it....
