Truth goes under the bus
Telegraph Blogs (U.K.) ^ | October 13, 2008 | Melanie Phillips

Posted on 10/18/2008 11:43:46 PM PDT by Schnucki

Big media has now decided that Obama’s radical links cannot be mentioned at all because such information incites knuckle-dragging Republican mobs to murderous and insane rage. Thus the truth is suppressed and censored because the public, apparently, cannot be trusted with it – the cry of totalitarians from the medieval church down to Stalin and beyond. Papers such as the Times and Guardian – which mindlessly regurgitate this spin -- tell us that a chastened McCain will now mute his incendiary rhetoric. Excuse me? I must have missed something. He dipped a cautious toe in the water over Ayers but pulled all his punches in his debate with Obama. It seems to me the crowds got enraged when McCain described Obama as

a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.
In other words, the ugly mood is as much as anything frustration that McCain is not telling the country the truth about his opponent.

It is of course jaw-dropping that the left are claiming the McCain camp is inciting hatred when that is precisely what they have done year in, year out, to President Bush, neo-conservatives, the Republican party and anyone and everyone on what they denounce as ‘the right’ whom they vilify as fascists, insane, bloodsuckers, a cancer and the like. And unlike the information about Obama’s radical links, that onslaught by the left is not based on facts and the questions arising from those facts but on character assassination, smears, lies, distortions and gratuitous insults. Michelle Malkin assembles some of this filth here. But of course to the left, these vile falsehoods which truly incite irrational hatred are nothing of the kind because they believe them all to be axiomatically true. Actual truth on the other hand must be suppressed. They cannot tell the difference.

Terrifying.

MILLION DOLLAR ACORN COVERUP:
ACORN insiders battling [What a Shame] Embezzlement cover-up leads to lawsuit
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2109384/posts

“Bertha Lewis, ACORN’s interim chief organizer, called the lawsuit “a distraction from us

marshaling our forces to deal with the Republican right-wing attacks” over ACORN’s voter

registration. The lawsuit filed in August by two board members accuses ACORN founder and

former chief organizer Wade Rathke of either concealing or failing to properly report that

his brother Dale embezzled $948,000 from New Orleans-based ACORN and affiliated charitable

organizations [eh — charity SCAMS I would imagine] in 1999 and 2000. Instead of reporting

the allegations to law enforcement, a small group of ACORN executives allowed the Rathke

family to repay the money, according to the lawsuit brought by board members Karen Inman

and Marcel Reid.”

Police charge student for faking anti-Muslim ‘hate crime’

Police in suburban Chicago have arrested a Muslim college student for allegedly faking a

racist attack by a masked gunman, an attack police now say never happened. Earlier this

month, Safia Jilani, 19, was found by friends in the basement bathroom of the Schaible

science building of Elmhurst College, claiming she was clubbed with a gun by a masked

assailant. Anti-Muslim epithets were found scrawled on a nearby mirror, similar to a hate

-filled graffiti that had been found on Jilani’s locker only a week earlier. [snip]

Morning ping.

In summary:

Ayers and Obama shared an office for three years! [Just a guy in the neighborhood.]

In the words of a Brit blogger: “Big media has now decided that Obama’s radical links cannot be mentioned at all because such information incites knuckle-dragging Republican mobs to murderous and insane rage.” [this thread]

BO wants to investigate the ACORN investigators. McCain responded to that. [Obama fights harder for ACORN than he would for his unborn grandchildren.] Also, a million dollar ACORN coverup — names being named! Getting hot!

McCain calls BO’s economics ‘socialist’.

Just look at how much is coming out about the economic meltdown and ACORN? The leftists are feeling just as desperate as we are. They know that the information age is closing in on their scams. Partizan pressure is motivating the left to be more vicious than ever against conservatives’ freedoms. They want the Bush administration in jail:

Obama would ask his AG to “immediately review” potential of crimes in Bush White House
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2104867/posts

They want MORE voter fraud rather than less, they want more illegal aliens voting, and they want us to lose free speech. They must achieve these things because too much truth is coming out.

Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn’s Weather Underground was an offshoot of the SDS, or Students for a Democratic Society, a fully communist group of students who wanted radical change in America in 1960’s..that SDS was almost wiped out and the offshoots caused it do dissapate...

NOW THERE IS A NEW SDS, STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY and the membership is growing, it was started by communist students who want America to go FAR FAR LEFT and they are the Che Guevara fans.
