Barack Obama has published an enemies list and conspiracy web on his presidential campaign website, Fight the Smears.
The site lists conservative activists David Bossie, Floyd Brown, Bob Perry, Craig Shirley, Bruce Hawkins and James Lacy.
The Obama campaign posted an accompanying graphic that lays out a web of connections between the conservatives, groups they represent and their efforts opposing liberals, including "Swift Boat", "Clinton Impeachment" and "Willie Horton Ad".
The text never connects any of those listed to 'smears' against Obama, but instead lists their politcal sins such as working with the Minutemen, Ann Coulter, Gary Aldrich, donating to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and running the Willie Horton ad. The worst that the Obama campaign says is that Bruce Hawkins was recently disbarred in Washington state.
Usually, paranoid presidents wait until they assume office before they compile their enemies list for their myrmidons to act on. Nixon had his infamous enemies list, the Clinton's had their "The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce."
Barack Obama has set a new standard for paranioa. And he hasn't even been formally nominated yet.
I don’t even see how Obama will leave the Dems’ August convention with the nomination, so I guess I’m out.
I demand a re-count!
I’m not on there either.
IMO, his “Fight the Smears” site is his way of smearing conservatives!
Thank you!
The Obama Lama will issue a press release denying that he is in any way, xenophallophobic..
The Swift Vets? What a creep this guy is. I used to think he was just an empty suit, now I know his ignorance is downright dangerous to America. His is a party of complete and utter fools.
Barry Barak Bin Obama has an enemies list..........
not us here ?
Anybody else familiar with the film "The Last Empire," specifically the Maoist interrogators? For some reason, whenever I meet a campaign worker for the Snob's campaign I have flash backs to that film... that same creepy, dripping, condescension with a heavy dose of fanaticism.
I guess this just makes it easier to figure out who all they need to send off to the camps once they’re in power...
And in fact, he hasn't even been informally nominated yet, nor is he the "presumptive nominee" by any traditional measure.
He has not earned enough delegates to win the nomination. He can only receive the nomination if all the superdelegates that have pledged for him show up at the convention, and then vote the way they said they would when they were polled.
They are not pledged, they have signed no affidavit, they are free to vote for anybody they want. The rules require that the superdelegates make their decision at the convention as to which candidate they think is best for their party.
As there is no way to know now how they would answer that question in August, it is presumptuous to call him the presumptive nominee. The actual ELECTION doesn't take place until the convention, and by the rules of the convention either candidate could win.
In the Republican contest, McCain has earned enough pledged delegates to win the nomination, and if any delegate attempted to vote other than how they were pledged, their attempt would be ruled out of order. McCain WILL win the vote on the floor, as there are more than enough delegates who are required by the rules to vote for him.
THus, he is the "presumptive" nominee.
Good points.
“Barack Obama has published an enemies list ... conservatives, including “Swift Boat”,
“The text never connects any of those listed to ‘smears’ against Obama, but instead lists their politcal sins such as ... Gary Aldrich, donating to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth....”
Gee, the Swifties just keep being in the news as an enemy of the dims, and they aren’t doing anything. All power to the Swifties.
I qualified for the list! I qualified for the list!! :-)
Projection. Easiest way to attack without criticism is to claim victim status.
FEARLESS LEADER will not be criticized, citizen.

He’s very much the “presumptive” nominee, and that’s why he’s announcing a 75,000 person mobfest - to make sure that the Dems don’t even THINK about nominating somebody else.
Did the Founding Fathers make the list?
