Fear-Mongers Deliver Victory
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 11-04-2010 | Mary Mitchell

Posted on 11/04/2010 7:18:42 AM PDT by kingu

A day after President Obama got what he called a "shellacking" in the midterm elections, he took full responsibility for the outcome that turned over the House to the Republicans.

Pundits will spend the next few days poring over the numbers. But judging from the questions reporters asked at the news conference, the defeat is being cast as a clear message from voters that Obama is going in the wrong direction.

(snip)

For the last two years, the electorate has been subjected to lies about Obama's religion, his heritage and his agenda. These deliberate falsehoods were designed to scare the bejeezus out of anyone who waves the American flag.

Unfortunately, Tuesday's midterm massacre was as much a victory for the fear-mongers as it was for the Republican candidates who sought public office for a noble cause.

Apparently a lot of voters drank up every drop of the Obama-bashers' Kool-Aid.

Considering that the Hawaii Department of Health has indirectly confirmed that Obama has no LEGALLY-VALID birth certificate and they have been making criminally misleading or outright false public statements all along in order to hide that - as well as illegally hiding their Administrative Rules and breaking both laws and rules in order to hide Obama’s records..... and you’ve got not only the argument about documentation being MISSING, you’ve got the proof that what he HAS is legally deficient and that Hawaii and democrat officials have committed massive crimes to cover it up.

I don’t expect anybody from the Chicago or Washington dC media-political cabals to even begin to comprehend why the rest of us have a problem with that. You can’t see clearly when your head is up somebody else’s arse. Unfortunately for them, though the big-city and DC media-political cabals have been trying to screw us all along, we have our heads someplace else and can see and smell what’s right in front of us.

You can’t name a single Conservative in American politics who has received or may expect the kind of pass “O” got on the eligibility issue, the ‘Rev.’ Wright flap, the Ayers connection, the ACORN association, etc.

Making matters worse, “O” never fully or credibly satisfied ANYONE about his citizenship… and he has not effectively detached himself from any of the direct and long-standing associations he had/has with the avowed anti-American, near-criminal and clinically certifiable lunatics he calls friends.

FIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Nonetheless, I can't help but wonder if something more sinister than voter frustration is behind the seismic shift in Washington.

Hmmm... sinister forces. Can't be obama, he's infallible. Can't be democrats and their fascist attitudes, they're smart and caring. So there must be a dark, sinister explanation to all this Republican sucess.

This paper exists to sell advertising and defend the democrat establishment. Mitchell is starting the inevitable spin cycle, hoping that the complete narrative, whatever it is, is in place by January. Lots o' luck- except for some local news, nobody takes this rag at face value anyway. There's freedom breaking out in this state- something she will never understand. So she is obliged to hate it.

That reminds me of another investigation Congress should initiate: the threats made to media heads if they reported on the eligibility issue.

We need to tell our Congress-critters to talk to Doug Hagmann about the evidence he’s got. It’s the media-political-law enforcement cabal that has screwed this country, and we have GOT to get to the bottom of that.

Fear - Mongering?

I agree, there is no evidence the economy is in shambles. No evidence that Health care is a power and money grab and that it will increase costs and lower care standards. No evidence liberal bastions like, California, NY, Mich. IL are in financial flames. This is a bunch of phooey i say!. Need I say it /s off..... Incredible this clown gets a forum....dumbing down the citizens of Chicago hard at work.

More and More I am accepting Michael Savage's position that “Liberlasim is a Mental Disorder” as having more truth in it than even he at first believed. There is simply NO other explanation, other than outright EVIL intentions that can justify such drivel by the likes of Ms. Mary. I heard similar tripe from some clown named Woolsey who is a Congreescritter from the SF Bay area. The recent research implying a genetic aspect to liberal positioning lends even more credence to the concept. I don't think they have yet followed the genetic issue to its TRUE conclusion - ie the lack/defect of that gene somehow corrupts the brain's ability to process either truth/facts or logic or both. The result is a person who truly believes in fairyland/Nirvana and CAN'T understand why everyone else doesn't buy into their view of “how it should be”.

Another thought just came to me - because they are, almost without exception, nonbelievers (despite masquerading as followers), they have nothing to look forward to after death, and MUST therefore try to create the equivalent here on earth for the living ..... just a raw thought.

Sorry, didn't think it was needed, with the title.
