They don't have political rallies to bring them together anymore, but it's no secret that a lot of people out there don't much like Barack Obama. The president-elect, according to his more fervent campaign-season detractors, has a raft of unforgivable faults: He's a socialist, a Muslim, an actual love-child of Malcolm X. His birth certificate was missing, his book had been ghost-written by William Ayers, and his wife, "Mrs. Grievance," as a National Review cover dubber her, was perennially on the cusp of getting caught ranting against the white man. The only thing keeping the Illinois senator's infamy from going public is the quiescence of the liberal media. Perhaps you remember.

Where were the stories the crazy BDS people on the left?
Bush had a weather machine, Bush caused Katrina to kill black people...
We want to see a legite birth certificate and Obama would rather pay thousands to lawyers instead of showing it...We are the crazy ones!
Fair and balanced.
Since when does CBS News care what right-wingers think about Obama? What difference does it make in their world?
Wrong until proved right or Wright until proved wrong?
Actually this is a reprinted New Republic POS in all its biased L/W glory.
$$$
Questions?
And these liberal leftists are still “Blame Bush” mentality.
I’ll go out on a limb (safely) now and state that the MSM is 100% responsible for everything this POS does to America. They lied, they got him elected, they will be held accountable by history !
I am 99.9999999% sure I won’t have to apologize or give the MSM praise .
Doom on all presstitutes.
Just what you excerpted is explosive.
In the Soviet Union, dissenters were found insane and locked up in asylums. MSM is preparing the ground.
Great, the MSM can't ignore the stories anymore. That's real progress.
I think they are forgetting about the "draft dodger" and "cocaine user" stories perpetuated by the Vast Left Wing conspiracy. Or all the stories about George Bush being a moron who allowed Dick Cheney to rule the country. Or that the WOT was really just a sheme to make money for all his friends in 'Big Oil'.
If opposition to Obama is defined by the above punch list of things-that-haven't-been-proven, then we are so screwed. (Yeah I know, the BC is still TBD.)
Exactly Travis McGee. The Leftwing media is getting very defensive all of a sudden. Nervous????
We can rest assured, no matter how compelling the argument, the leftest loons aren’t going to dig into Okenyan’s real life. People will figure him out without the media’s help, and Okenyan’s leftnut kooks are going to eat mud pie.
I will never forget how this administration was treated by the left and the Drive-by Media and they will never forget what's about to be in store for them.
I will work OT to make sure the people who work in the Drive-by Media only remember the days they didn't work at McDonalds.
BTW, It has been proven that Barry actually is a socialist....and there's the problem. Its appears on this list of things "not proven".
Will CBS ever mention Delaware AG Beau and his "special treatment" of Larry Sinclair at the cusp of Joe Biden being named VP candidate? ....crickets....
Now THAT would be some real progress. Greta got close to the story but backed off based on the "ick" factor.
[D]issenters were found insane and locked up in asylums.
Until the media is found to be insane and they find that dissension can be a freedom giving attitude for them personally.
Then they will be dissenters after it's too late.
I would take as a positive the things against Barry that didn't appear on that list.
For instance, "he pals around with terrorists", is a charge that HAS proven to be correct.
The guns are firing to discredit the entire BC effort. Marginalize and mock the opposition with all the media at your disposal.
It’s going to be heavy fire this week folks. Leo’s suit goes for review on Friday. Conservative radio better step up even though this isn’t a democrat or republican issue.
Fight back with known facts and clear arguments. 90% of the opposition has never heard of the US constitution so that is a good start.
So tiresome. May the truth out, whatever it may be, as soon as possible...
The MSM has finally recognized that the issue cannot be ignored and so they are starting to generate articles attacking the BC issue as kooky right wing stuff. That way they cannot be accused of spiking the story and they cannot be accused of being un-PC or kooky themselves. It is simply a means of immunizing themselves from a (in the MSM's view) "bad decision" on Friday by the Supremes to take the Donofrio case. It is unlikely that they will take the case but it is possible and, of course, the correct thing for them to do. But if they did, the MSM would look very bad if they appeared surprised by a story that is being covered in great depth by their main competitor and future ruler - the Internet Blogger Community.
As opposed to someone who: had pretended to give birth to the love child of her daughter, went on a wild $150,000 shopping spree at Nieman Marcus, refused to join other candidates on stage because of the abortion and drilling in Alaska views, tried to get her ex-brother-in-law fired improperly, thought Africa was a country, had an affair with her husband's ex-business partner, made victims of rape pay for their own rape kits, said she could see Alaska from her house, had a "witch doctor" as a spiritual adviser, cut the special needs budget, banned books, was a member of a fringe party, forced creationism to be taught in schools, and so many others.

For months now, the MSM has been stone cold silent. We now have CBS News printing New Republic as fact, MSNBC, San Francisco Chronicle, ABC News, etc. all coming out with defensive hit pieces. They realize that this is real and they can no longer ignore it and wish it away. Time for them to do what they do best ... attack and try to discredit conservatives.
We want to see a legite birth certificate and Obama would rather pay thousands to lawyers instead of showing it...We are the crazy ones!It's very interesting that this story doesn't go more into the issue of the birth certificate. Go ahead, CBS, debunk it. We dare you.
CBS snooze. Network news, the alphabet news, not seen here in 15 years. The BS Meter went off too much. The doom and gloom, “America sucks” theme was just too much to take. The blame American first, last and always network newswriters and newsreaders....how dull. Dinosaur Media Death Watch in full speed ahead mode. They put their religion of liberalism above all, even above the survival of their professions. Good riddance to them when they finally all die off and get real jobs.
Not if they're the ones writing the history. Leftists are masters of rationalization and subtle distortion.
That's unlikely to change anytime soon.
Whether he has any credibility or not, you've got to wonder about all that. Wasn't he locked up in Delaware for several days, with no apparent legal basis?
You mention the "ick" factor. Two key voting blocs, that put Obama over the top, would have been particularly susceptible to that, repulsed by men on the "down low" as they are.
I remember a few, very left-leaning friends from college, freaking out when we took a road trip north once ... they hated the very idea of being in "fascist, corporatist" Delaware. Wonder why it's suddenly acceptable to that mindset now? We all know the answer, but it's going to be fun rubbing their noses in it.
Nice post.
The CBS hoisted by its own petard.
“BTW, It has been proven that Barry actually is a socialist....”
You are correct!
If you have not yet, please take a look at http://www.newzeal.blogspot.com/, the articles listed on the right side of the page describing O’s connections to the communists/socialists will make your blood run either cold or very hot.
O has drawn David Axelrod close to him. Axelrod has a career background with communism, commencing with his mother, Myril and later, the likes of Don Rose and David Canter, both with solid communist credentials.
Bomb-thrower Bill Ayers has long been O’s mentor. Ayers came out decades ago, has fought the long war and is not about to see it slip away: “Our enemy is U.S. imperialism, the enemy of all humankind,” Bill Ayers, Educational Secretary, SDS, 1969.
Frank Davis, an outed communist, a close family friend and perhaps more, was from Chicago.
The president of the CPUSA is quoted as saying with regard to O: “We are speaking to a friend.”
It is disgusting that our MSM and our Republican politicians did not focus on this during the campaign.
We are in a non-violent civil war as Marxism and Capitalism struggle for the government of our nation. All “they” need is enough civil unrest to argue it would be impossible to conduct free and open elections.
Stand up America! The presidential election is not over!
We voted for electors, not the individual candidates. The electors vote on or after December 15, 2009. The results are then presented to a joint session of Congress and OBJECTIONS may be heard on January 8, 2009 pursuant to the 20th amendment and Public Law 110-430.
Let’s not gamble that the lawsuits now pending will produce meaningful results prior to Jan 20, ’09, let’s take action now!
Gosh, how could ANY thinker who totes an ounce of Constitutionally driven, freedom minded, and personal concern think otherwise?
Wow much showing does it take for this socialist minded individual to show his socialist, anti-American directives for a conservative individual in doubt to realize what he stands for?
Betty Boop would appear better suited for the position of POTUS.
Boop, boop dee boop!
At least Betty was American minded.

Wasn't that part of the cost of acquiring a Cabbage Patch Doll?
Well, and which of these items is not true? We don't know if he's a love child of Malcolm X or not, and we don't know if his books were ghost-written by Malcolm X or somebody else, but the rest of it is true enough.
Yeah, but I think you could buy one for less that $600M
uggghhh, hey CBS, it was these same “crazy conspiracy theorists” that exposed the fraud that was CBS News’ Dan Rather, right?
Let me see ... Joseph Goebbels (Hitler’s propagandist) cardinal rules:
Avoid abstract ideas and appeal instead to emotions.
Constant repetition of just a few ideas, using stereotyped phrases and avoiding objectivity.
Put forth only one side of the argument.
Constantly criticize enemies of the state.
Identify one special enemy for special vilification.
What is the issue here regarding Obama? HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE and CITIZENSHIP requirements! NOT ONE MEDIA OUTLET has been able to obtain his BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Obama’s own website stated he was a British citizen at birth and the media continues to ignore that.
And who are the ones currently being “vilified” and ridiculed?
Ghost written by William Ayers
See:
http://www.cashill.com/intellect_fraud/yavelow.htm
Exactly, getting them to deny or detract is a major victory.
Un-damn-believable. The little commie butt kisser Michael Schaffer knows damn good and well what Ayers did and used it for hyperbolic comparison?
Sick sick sick...
Open question to anyone: (and a rhetorical question, mostly)
WHY would the SC even take the case to conference if Thomas, in particular, did not see merit to it? Why go to conference if it’s just likely to be thrown out?
That woman’s just not right. You don’t even need to read her rants to know it. If she doesn’t have a particularly high-octane substance abuse problem, you can’t tell from her appearance ... those eyes!
Personally, my money was well placed, however if I knew at the time what we would have, A Cabbage Patch may have been worth the $600,000,000.
Maybe the fact that fewer and fewer people watch their efforts and fewer still give those efforts any credence has inspired them to attack the growing story (in the alternative media) in the hopes that the election signals their ability to crush this upstart decentralization of information and decision making.
Where are the glories of their heyday in the 1930’s when all the world looked to great centralized monopolistic solutions.
Didn’t Il Duce make the trains run on time?
Mustn’t you be totally dependent on CBS for “truth?”
