The First Rule of Obama? "If it offends you I condemn it!"

"All of the statements that have been the subject of controversy are ones that I vehemently condemn." --Barack Obama

This seems to be the General Rule of Obama--if it's going to damage him, he condemns it! And rejects and denounces. Vehemently! The Rule would seem to apply to all past and future controversial statements--his campaign could get that sentence printed up on little laminated cards and hand them out to reporters, or include them after the statements of all Obama surrogates, like those fine-print 'void where prohibited' waivers. "Condemned if controversial."

I didn't use a permalink because Kaus doesn't have one easily accessible(I think) and "view source" crashes for some reason on his page in Firefox.

All this Hillary SPAM has become quite annoying. Is Freerepulic now Hillary campaign central?

[Boundless]

His apologies offend me.

....

... waiting for him to vanish in a logical implosion.
_______
FOX is running a banner on Hussien doing some more
damage control on this. The money must be drying up
fast. And Hillary is keeping relatively quiet.
“When your enemy is self-destructing. Let them.”

[bahblahbah]

You are an idiot.

“Is Freerepulic now Hillary campaign central?”

Obama is bad, but I think Hillary is an IED in the Democratic party in the process of a premature explosion. If she wins the nomination this dirty, I think she loses most of the black vote. So it is with a certain glee, that we promote Hillary!

What I found impressive is that i don’t even show his March 15 collumn as being up yet. :)

Now THAT is a post worthy of a "conflict of interest" statement via common sense. ; )

[EGPWS]

You are an idiot.

I 'spose sugar coating is proper if one doesn't want their post to be removed. /snicker

So it is with a certain glee, that we promote Hillary!

Hitlery has political savvy behind her via the cigar smoker.

Don't underestimate the capabilities of the Clinton's to change the political mindsets of voters.

Obama at least lacks the political fortitude.

He wouldn't have a chance to ever see a cross over vote from a true American.

Hitlery may.

Osama Obama is crashing .
His polling data is dropping like a rock.
How the heck can you explain away 20 years of your life following an American hater , white hater, Jew hater, military hater, etc... as some minor issue.

[bmwcyle]

Marxism offends me.

MOST IMPORTANT -— Obama never says what statements he is against. Wright has so many statements that are appalling. Which ones are Obama against. Obama says he never heard Wright say those statements when he spent 20 years in church. Which statements had he never heard before, exactly. I think he is parsing. I think he as heard most of those statements in one form or another.

His wife has never been proud of her country before. Is Obama saying that she never heard her pastor say any discouraging words about America?

Hillary attack team lights up Freerepublic. Look at the number of threads started on Obama in just the last hour or so compared to those started on Hillary.

Obama is the least dangerous of the remaining candidates. Obama doesn't stand a chance any getting any significant agenda through congress. Both Hillary and McClain have the support in the chambers needed to get all what they want through.

Obama: 12, Hillary: 2

Sometimes, just sometimes, you get a personality so evil you have to put him down to ensure he doesn’t get up again. Obama has tons of charisma. I think we need to kill his senatorial career dead - not just his chances of becoming president - to ensure he doesn’t rise to challenge the GOP in the 2012 presidential elections.
