In the case of professional publishings and postings I think it's the cutting back of so much of the staff positions. Used to be an article had to make it through several edits, starting with the copy editor and ending with the proof readers. Now I suspect, especially online, they skip the middle men and go straight from entry-level reporter's word processor to page layout without passing through anyone’s brain in between.

This is no joke - Barney is criminally insane. No one sane could demand a continuation of the fake mortgage loans to the poor unless they really wanted to destroy the country. No one sane would permit Geithner and Bernake so much power knowing what they have done to bring down the economy with scams. No one sane would advocate for pedophiles to have free reign in our classrooms with children. And now the serial killer is advocating for more jihadists in the streets.

RE :”They duped the voters by having Marxist Ohaha say, “I want to be another Ronald Reagan.”

Even to this day he uses language to fool people. He calls the ‘public plan’ competition when his purpose is single payer Canadian type health case. All the single payer progressives say “public plan competition” when they want a government monopoly. They use the term ‘tax cuts’ to send out welfare checks.

* Many of Barack Obama's critics have said that he lacks experience and is not ready to be president, but this video shows Obama himself questioning whether or not he is ready.

I distinctly remember a televised interview with B. O. and M. O. in which she was asked if he should run for President. She said, "Absolutely not." When asked why not, she said, "Because he hasn't done anything yet."

I once contacted the owner of a local mom and pop weekly and volunteered to proof for them in order to gain experience. She seemed offended and said they were not interested. From then on, I threw it in the trash without reading it due to the numerous errors. It has since gone out of business.

Was Ryan the opponent mentioned in the article? I had to read it again after FReepers let me know it was not Obama.

I originally posted this on Leo’s Natural Born Citizen blog. What you posted here is copied word for word, I don’t know where you lifted it from, but it’s disingenuous to say the least.

“(ironically by having his divorce records unsealed by “someone” in the Chicago Machine)

Obama divorce? Is this true? First I have heard of this.”

Obama’s opponent’s divorce records were unsealed, and some unsavory gossip leaked. He was forced to drop out of the race.

The irony now is Obozo guarding his own records like they were in Ft Knox.

Anyone see a trend here?!


Wiki:
(Dunn) is married to the President’s personal lawyer, Robert Bauer, a partner at Perkins Coie who has been the general counsel of Obama for America since January 2007. They reside in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Newsweek named Dunn and Bauer the new “power couple” in Washington, D.C. in 2008.

RICCHETTI INVOLVED, SOURCES SAY - BUT LAWYER DENIES WILDER TAPE MEETING
Richmond Times-Dispatch - Friday, May 29, 1992
Author: William Ruberry ; Washington correspondent

The chief of staff of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was among DSCC staff workers who helped Sen. Charles S. Robb and his aides try to stem political damage from allegations about Robb’s private life, sources confirmed yesterday.

Steve Ricchetti, the DSCC executive director, testified in August before a federal grand jury in Norfolk. Robb is chairman of the DSCC, which recruits Democratic candidates for the Senate, raises money and plots campaign strategy.

Several sources, including Ricchetti’s lawyer, confirmed yesterday that Ricchetti played a role in the damage control effort. Yet, there was dispute on the extent of Ricchetti’s involvement.

Actions of DSCC staff members became a focus of increasing controversy last Friday when Gov. L. Douglas Wilder released a letter he wrote May 21 to Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell of Maine.

In the letter, Wilder complained that “the official fund-raising arm of the U.S. Senate’s Democratic membership was used in a campaign to denigrate my reputation.”

The governor was reacting to a “statement of facts” from the Justice Department that accompanied guilty pleas last week by David K. McCloud, Robb’s former chief of staff, to breaking federal wiretapping and campaign finance laws.

The statement described meetings by Robb aides and others about leaking a secret tape of a car telephone conversation in 1988 by then-Lt. Gov. Wilder, in which Wilder said Robb was finished politically by stories about sex and drugs at the beach.

According to the statement, which McCloud certified as true under penalty of perjury, the meetings focused on whether the so-called beach music tape could be used “in an effort to discredit Wilder and deflect attention from controversies surrounding Senator Robb.”

The statement said, “these meetings and discussions included various members of Senator Robb’s staff and staff members of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.”

According to a source close to the case, Ricchetti attended a meeting with Robb aides in January 1991 about possible uses of the Wilder tape. Anita Dunn , former communications director of the DSCC, and Robert L. Watson, former political director of the DSCC, also attended, the source said.

Robert F. Bauer , general counsel of the DSCC and lawyer for Ricchetti and Dunn, denied that his clients had attended such a meeting. “The story is an absolute fabrication, refuted by all existing evidence and testimony,” he said last night.

Bauer acknowledged, however, that Ricchetti and Ms. Dunn participated in meetings with the Robb staff about a then-upcoming segment about Robb on NBC’s “Expose” show.

Moreover, Ms. Dunn helped Robb draft a letter to NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw urging that the network scuttle the show, which was broadcast in April 1991, Bauer said.

Ricchetti and other DSCC staff workers had a “very legitimate concern” about damage to Robb from the show and collateral damage to the DSCC, he said.

Two other sources close to the case agreed with Bauer that Ricchetti and Ms. Dunn did not attend meetings about the Wilder tape. However, one of the sources added that Ricchetti and Ms. Dunn participated in other “discussions about efforts to discredit Wilder.”

The grand jury is investigating the involvement by Robb, his staff and others with the Wilder tape, as well as efforts by the Robb camp to combat allegations that Robb as governor consorted with young women at parties in Virginia Beach during the early 1980s where cocaine was abundant.

McCloud and two other one-time Robb aides — Press Secretary Steven D. Johnson and Watson, formerly DSCC political director — have pleaded guilty to minor violations of federal law, including conspiracy to disclose and use electronic communications.

Watson also flew to Boston in late 1990 to meet with a young woman who alleges that she and Robb had an affair during the 1980s while she was a teen- ager. Moreover, Watson and another Robb political operative spent several weeks in late 1990 at the beach questioning people with damaging information about Robb.

Watson, Ricchetti and Ms. Dunn are not the only DSCC staff workers linked to the Robb affair. Bauer , DSCC general counsel, has a private law practice specializing in Federal Election Commission law.

Last year, the Robb for Senate campaign committee paid Bauer $350 for advice on McCloud’s August 1988 complaint to the FEC that Robb’s GOP opponent in the 1988 Senate race should have listed as a campaign expense the cost of hiring a private eye to dig up dirt on Robb.

(snip)

A top aide to a Democratic senator told the magazine that Robb should be jettisoned by the DSCC. “Robb is a considerable drag for our candidates,” the aide said. “They don’t want to lug around a guy subjected to a grand jury investigation.”

Congressman Barney Frank [D-MA] speaks as a witness to the Senate Judiciary Committee about his belief that the people of the United States should be able to elect a president of their choosing, even if that candidate is not a natural-born citizen.

Talk Radio News Service Staff:



I'm sorry but I do not see anyone on the staff named Bill, or might it be that "Florida Bill" lifted from them, since it was posted in 2004?

I didn't see that part in the Current Communist Goals about Lifting word for word someone else’s writing and passing it off as original thought.

Shouldn't you have given attribution to the original writer.

Explains why your link went no where.

Did you see the part about how funny it is to break the law?
" Nothing like watching blue/red flashing in the rearview mirror and watching them fade because of gravel and too much dust. "

btw, the full link is posted right above your last post. I'm not the first to post an incomplete link. Please be sure to let us know when we can watch you getting chased on "Cops".

Chased by cops? That is one lame comment. You are the one who stole and your bullshit link does not “Give Attribution” nor does it go to the original article.

If you had any intention of giving attribution you would have given it in the post or at least apologized to the poster and had an Admin Mod fix your post.

Here is the original link from October 15, the day before you posted, on October 16:

scroll down...oh, why am I telling you this. You know where it is.
