A few weeks ago there was an article making the rounds about a rumor regarding one of the candidates that was “common knowledge” among the press but was not being released. There were a few threads about it here on FR.

Since he’s already admitted using hard drugs, it can’t be that. I’m guessing it’s something to do with his days in the Illinois legislature. Or, it could be a gay scandal.

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign is sitting on “scandalous” information about Obama...

Someone must utter just this word into Obama's ear: Huma...

Then, he puts his team into research mode, and then he has a return volley.

More popcorn, please!

Obama accused Clinton of “Swift boat’ politics” and vowed he will not be intimidated.

Good try B. Hussein but too late. It was obvious you were intimidated by this last nite in the debate. Heck it may be nothing at all, but it worked! Welcome to the Clinton Smear MachineTM

Oh and BTW, Swift Boating is exposing truth to light. Everyone should want that!

Apparently there might be a video of his ‘prior’ activity.

Sounds like a threat more than anything from Clinton.

‘Back off or else’.

will not be deterred or sidetracked by the old ‘Swift boat’ politics

Dream on, pal. You only wish they were old. It's like you rats calling Dubya a lame duck one year into his first term: Just a buncha rats wet dreamin' up a storm. First, they're not so old, from 2004 to be exact. Second, whenever a cowardly, traitorous rat portrays himself as a hero, the truth will out. Same goes for any hypocritical rat behavior.

That said, wonder what Hitlery's got? The fact she didn't disclose it probably means doing so would reflect badly on her as well... Like something about his muslim heritage perhaps? Or maybe he was fooling around on his wife? In that case, by all rights, she'd have to cut Obama as much slack as she cut Bubba, and not make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, she might look like a HYPOCRITE.

Well, Obama, which is it? a smear or a swift boat truthing? Surely you should be concerned about the former, but what do you have to fear about the latter unless there is an inconvenient truth lurking in your past?

Probably nothing.

&Obama's statement is a bit unusual in that it gives Novak such credence.

"Once again Sen. Obama is echoing Republican talking points, this time from Bob Novak," he said in an e-mailed statement. Obama is in way over his head. The Clinton machine is diabolical. First they plant Greg Craig as an advisor to Obama, Obama promptly puts foot in mouth, and at the exact time foot enters mouth, the Clinton machine is all over the media criticizing him about what Craig had advised him to say. This time they plant a story with Novak, and before the story hits the airwaves, they have a response saying you cannot believe anything Novak says because he is a Republican and all his sources are Republican. The Clinton signature is always in the response. When Kathleen Willey made her accusations, there were sources feeding the MSM that it was not true, not because Bill was not capable of such a thing, but because Bill did not favor small breasted women, as his affair with Monica proved. The Clinton crime machine is INCREDIBLE.

pass the popcorn....

My thoughts exactly. This is almost as good as the Iraqi insurgents battling it out with Al-Queda in Iraq.

Enjoy the movie folks.

Does Obama understand what "Swift boat" politics is? It is about telling the TRUTH! I read the book. It was well researched, well documented, and a credible story about Kerry. But wait, Obama is a Democrat, a person with a disordered mind.

Howard Wolfson, Clinton's campaign communications director, said she has "no idea" what the item is about.

"Once again Sen. Obama is echoing Republican talking points, this time from Bob Novak," he said in an e-mailed statement.

Wolfson either just called Novak a liar or else called the Clinton "agents" who dropped this information on Novak liars. Journalists don't like it when their credibility is challenged. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

I think they should bring Dueling back.

Let them settle it at 20 paces,,,

arm them with shotguns and buckshot.

Hopefully both would hit their target.
