The infants on the Democrat far left are apoplectic that an MSM network would dare to ask their messiah hard questions about his true political leanings. They should be angry at themselves for putting up a little league liar when they had Barry Bonds ready to go.
Hillary has already been vetted and even her supporters know she and her husband are world class grifters. Now the playing field is being leveled as Obama's Marxist and anti-American philosophy is being exposed as this rookie strikes out on anything other than grooved pitches.
At least ABC finally realized this and decided to throw him a couple of curve balls.
Lets's look at some highlights of the presumptive nominee.
On Bitter People:
"And so the point I was making was that when people feel like Washington's not listening to them, when they're promised year after year, decade after decade, that their economic situation is going to change, and it doesn't, then politically they end up focusing on those things that are constant, like religion."
You weren't talking about "people". You were talking about rural blue-collar white people that are too stupid, superstitious and violent to see how much better their lives would be if they allowed themselves to be re-educated by you and your San Francisco comrades. You're the one who is frustrated that people actually believe they can run and defend their lives without your scary intellect. If you're going to appeal to middle class mores in order to destroy them, then try harder in hiding your contempt for them.
On Reverend Wright:
"Reverend Wright is somebody who made controversial statements but they were not of the sort that we saw that offended so many Americans. And that's why I specifically said that these comments were objectionable; they're not comments that I believe in."
Do you hear yourself? What the hell are you talking about?
"What I also said was, the church and the body of Reverend Wright's work, over the course of 30 years, were not represented in those snippets that were shown on television, and that the church has done outstanding work in ministries on HIV/AIDS, prison ministries, providing people with the kind of comfort that we expect in our churches."
You're still hanging onto that "snippet" thing? Didn't you want Imus out on the street for "nappy headed ho's'? That's a snippet. Wright's comments can fill up an entire radio segment, not to mention his racist Black Theology that you have supported for twenty years. And Wright's "outstanding work" is no more relevant here than the fact that Hitler loved dogs, Mussolini made the trains run on time and Jeffrey Dahmer was nice to his mother.
"Absolutely many of these remarks were objectionable. I've already said that I didn't hear them, because I wasn't in church that day."
That's the type of lie Hillary makes look easy. You don't have the chops to pull it off. And even we were to believe that tripe, it's impossible to imagine that a guy you called your mentor for twenty years never expressed those sentiments to you outside of the pulpit. And your wife is obviously a devoted and attentive parishioner. Has she just been leading you around by the nose all these years?
On terrorist buddy William Ayers:
"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George."
If it were just about a guy in your neighborhood then I'd be sympathetic. I don't want to be associated with the nut next door just because I had a beer with him once. But if I also served on a board with him and accepted his contributions while he was publicly defending his past nuttiness and wishing he'd been nuttier, then I'm either a supporter of his insanity or a clueless knucklehead. Which one are you?
I was only ten when William Calley committed the My Lai Massacre. But even though he's now a fellow Floridian, it doesn't mean I'm going to hang with him just because I was too ignorant in 1968 to appreciate the evil of his crimes. Especially if he was now saying he wished he'd done more as Ayers has.
And your nyah, nyah Hillary pardoned terrorists defense is just plain childish and only highlights the fact that neither of you can be trusted.
On economy and taxes:
MR. GIBSON: Senator Obama, you both have now just taken this pledge on people under $250,000 and 200-and-what, 250,000.
SENATOR OBAMA: Well, it depends on how you calculate it. But it would be between 200 and 250,000.
MR. GIBSON: All right.
...SENATOR OBAMA: ...What I have proposed is that we raise the cap on the payroll tax, because right now millionaires and billionaires don't have to pay beyond $97,000 a year.
MR. GIBSON: Those are a heck of a lot of people between $97,000 and $200(,000) and $250,000. If you raise the payroll taxes, that's going to raise taxes on them.
SENATOR OBAMA: And that's -- and that's -- and that's why I've said, Charlie, that I would look at potentially exempting those who are in between.
Yikes!! What a mess. When did say anything about exemptions other than the maybe, sort of (won't happen) way you just did?
MR. GIBSON: And in each instance, when the (capital gains) rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?
SENATOR OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness. We saw an article today which showed that the top 50 hedge fund managers made $29 billion last year -- $29 billion for 50 individuals. And part of what has happened is that those who are able to work the stock market and amass huge fortunes on capital gains are paying a lower tax rate than their secretaries. That's not fair.
Well, I have to give you credit for being honest about your belief that the tax system is primarily a tool for utopian social engineering and not to fund the legitimate constitutional functions of government. It does however, reveal your typically leftist ignorance in perpetuating the lie that economics, wealth and income is a zero-sum game. You really do believe that wealthy people produce no value for others, especially ordinary Americans in return for their compensation, don't you? Unless it's you or racist con men like Rev. Wright of course.
On guns:
MR. GIBSON: Senator Obama, the District of Columbia has a law, it's had a law since 1976, it's now before the United States Supreme Court, that prohibits ownership of handguns, a sawed-off shotgun, a machine gun or a short-barreled rifle. Is that law consistent with an individual's right to bear arms?
SENATOR OBAMA: Well, Charlie, I confess I obviously haven't listened to the briefs and looked at all the evidence.
As a former professor of constitutional law, are you telling us you know nothing of what will probably be the most significant second amendment case of our lifetimes? Look, I'm not even going to bother with your other quotes on this subject because you're so obviously full of it as are most Democrats, that it's not even worth discussing.
This was a huge but inevitable loss for Obama as at some point he was going to have to put some substance behind his charismatic but vapid rhetoric. Fortunately for McCain it's happening now and he is being spared as Democrats assemble their circular firing squad. His True Believers are angry that their savior has been betrayed by other Democrats and their sympathizers for bringing up pesky facts. A Cult of Personality exists best in a vaccuum and free societies are not a hospitable environment. His fanatical followers don't know how to reconcile that and they're lashing out. Make some popcorn. The convention promises to be a riot.
Obama'a loss doesn't mean Hillary won. She lost too as Obama's ineptitude reminded us that the alternative is just a polished version of the same turd. Actually, she's the same turd that's been stinking up the place for almost twenty years and many Democrats would like someone, anyone to come in and throw it out. Obama's not up to the job but everyone else hit the bricks when he said he could and Democrats were dumb enough to believe him.
Winner: McCain
