Feeding Frenzy for a Big Story, Even if It’s False Obama/Hillary coverup

Jeffrey T. Kuhner, whose Web site published the first anonymous smear of the 2008 presidential race, is hardly the only editor who will not reveal his reporters’ sources. What sets him apart is that he will not even disclose the names of his reporters.

But their anonymity has not stopped them from making an impact. In the last two weeks, Mr. Kuhner’s Web site, Insight, was able to set off a wave of television commentary, talk-radio chatter, official denials, investigations by journalists around the globe and news media self-analysis that has lasted 11 days and counting.

The controversy started with a quickly discredited Jan. 17 article on the Insight Web site asserting that the presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was preparing a charge that her rival, Senator Barack Obama, had covered up a brief period he had spent in an Islamic religious school in Indonesia when he was 6.

If it looks like a duck.....

As more and more info turns up about the real past of Obama,the more thew left will cover it up.

The disclosures about the church he belongs to is far more damning .

[etradervic]

Hillary outs Hussein.

[an amused spectator]

What sets him apart is that he will not even disclose the names of his reporters.

Gee. I guess The New York Times NEVER relies on anonymous Associated Press reports...

Here is what Hitlary has spread on the net. Unfortunately, she is correct IMHO
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that he was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

So what' sthe lateast on Barack Hussein Obama?

[expatpat]

The disclosures about the church he belongs to is far more damning.

Could you elaborate?

[Cincinna]

There is a FR thread on this racist, anti-semitic,"afro-centric" church and it's leader, whom Obama calls his "chief spiritual adisor".

Pastor’s teachings shouldn’t widen racial divide (OBAMARAMA CONTINUES UNABATED)

Everybody is missing the point on this guy (1st), He's a lightweight,(2) While crying "smear" He refuses to decry Moslem extremists.
WND has two new UK articles about him. One paper implies he's a liar neither of which I posted in my website (if not linked please google) http://www.theusmat.com/

It wasn't discredited. If anything, Insight magazine confirmed the story.

Those who live in glass houses....

missus clinton's racism and anti-Semitism are well documented.

"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT?
clinton legacy of lynching update
by Mia T, 7.23.05

Ironically, the logic of this pronouncement by Martin Luther King would, in short order, be refuted by the reality of his own lynching. King's hope was misplaced and his reasoning was circular. The resultant rule of law relied on by King presumed an adherence to the rule of law in the first instance.

Adherence to the rule of law is not something normally associated with the clintons. Moreover, racial and ethnic disrespect, intimidation, exploitation and hate have always been a fundamental clinton tactic and the reflexive use the "N"-word and other racial and ethnic slurs, an essential element in the clinton lexicon. When the "first black president" and his wife ran Arkansas, the NAACP sued them for intimidating black voters at the polls.

"I view Hillary Clinton as a great danger to Jews if she is elected."

former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
Jewish Press, July 2000

 

I... underestimated the propensity of my people for narrow-mindedness and self-destruction (the Jewish vote for Mrs. Clinton was about 70%)....

Some anti-Semitism is irrational, founded in ignorance, as in Hillary's case....

But other forms of anti-Semitism can be earned, giving folks legitimate grievances against a people because they do crazy things like EXTEND HILLARY CLINTON'S POLITICAL LIFE!

This is not to cast the entire blame on Jewish New Yorkers; they alone couldn't have elected her. In my initial optimism, I equally underestimated the urban pseudo-intellectual's high-mindedness, as well as the Everyman's yearning for celebrity in his midst.

The latest is that we are "swiftboating" Obama.

I think that if the media wants to smear conservative critics of DemocRat candidates for the nomination, the leasgt they could do is understand that the Swift Boat Veterans did not lie as Zogby and Dan Rather DID.

I know Yellow Journalism when I see it.

[bellas_sister]

bump for later...

[Cincinna]

Hillary succeeded in diffusing the anti-semitism charges in her recent election. Here's hoping that people will come forward now that the danger of her controlling the entire country is looming large.

[Laptop_Ron]

His mother is an atheist, yet she divorces one muslim man and then weds another. Isn't there something weird about that?

[redgolum]

This should be interesting. Obama has a lot in his background that could come to haunt him. Hillary knows this, but outing Obama runs the risk of alienating some of the minority vote.

[BenLurkin]

Barack Hussein Obama is a grown person -- he can take the lumps.

It's not like he's going to start drinking and then marry a second wife.

[printhead]

I read Insight's rebuttal to the WaPo's rebuttal. If anything, Insight stands by their original reporting and responds to the "discrediting" point-by-point. Has anyone noticed that no mention is made of who is discrediting whom? So long as anyone issues the discrediting, the article is discredited. Nope, no problem there.

How is radical Islam and the non-moderate Islamic states going to regard a U.S. president who discarded Muhammad for Jesus?

[Sam Ketcham]

So nice of you to point out we missed the point. Thought I'd give you awhile to ponder - what I pointed out was the spreading of truth by Hilary... it is the beginning of Dim disarray, sharks in a feeding frenzy... Many people have WWW sites, some have 5 or more, as I do... so how does that make your OPINION the definitive authority. Again, this is MY OPINION, every one's got one as they say.
