The anatomy of a smear

[Galen Sevinne]

A review of the conservatives attacks on Barack Obama:

1. He's an "empty suit"
.....oh yeah he was the editor of the Harvard Law Review

2. He is not a natural american citizen
....oooops, there is the birth certificate

3. He pals around with Terrorists!!!
....The dark shadowy scary stuff is at a 20% approval rating these days

4. He's a CommieNaziSocialistTotalitarianDictator!
....Seriously look what that kind of thinking has done for Glenn Beck...cukooo...cukoooo...cukooooo

5. No one cares about his 65% approval rating...its the Dow, Dow, Dow!
.....damn, the Dow has experienced the largest 10 day increase since 1938

6. "Ok...Now we got it, listen up folks the next talking point will be that
Obama...smiles and laughs too much!!!" That will work!
.... really, this is what it has come to...Obama smiles too much...impeach him!

no one ever said he was a dictator , but when you try to nationalize 1/5 of the total output of goods and services of a country, you call it what it is,,,,,socialism... I would not ask my neighbor to pay for my healthcare so I would not have to... why is oby going to make us

once again galen is wagging the dog by changing the subject,,, you can avoid the questions all you want but they won't go away..... you bashed bush for creating huge deficits, even though it is congress who appropriates money,,, then obama exceeds in 8 weeks what it took bush 8 years to do and you don't cry about that,,,, typical liberal hypocrite

ahhh...I created the subject. How could I change it?

But to attend to your change of subject. Democrats are calling Republicans out for griping about Obama creating a deficit. The true argument is maybe the Republicans should have done someting more about the war in Iraq. Its hypocritical for conservatives to denounce intended stimulative money spent by Obama when Bush left the country in deficit largely due to an unfounded war. Economist like Krugman, who has historically been critical of Obama, has been very outspoken about the lack of stimulative money spent by Obama. It doesn't appear that you fully understand the scope of the economic problem.

Obama is spending money and this creating a deficit in an attempt to save the economic mess. Now you can debate whether spending money or cutting taxes will save the economy but they both will enhance the deficit. Companies invest money to make money. My business earned about 8% less in '09 than '08 than last. I am spending more money this month on marketing than ever.

"Typical liberal hypocrite" is a comment that does nothing more but make the strength of your comments, as a whole, weaken. You speak in stereotypes.

Anyway back to the point of the post...I think the conservative smear machine against Obama is running out of ideas.

How about the Palin is white trash smear.

That was low class and over the top. Even another lib said so.

The commie remarks on OBY are well founded because of his attacks private citizens trying to deny their freedom of speech and trying to ruin them in spite of the 1st amendment and now he is screwing his own troops as well.

First Galen is shut up, now he is freaking out with these silly threads.

I never said palin was white trash....i just report the news as objectively as possible from the Wasilli trailer park. She just happens to be the one in charge there.

Obama has never denied anyone his/her freedom of speech. Actually your gripe about freedom of speech should be with Rush since just about everything you say is mandated by him to be said. You are experiencing a lack of freedom in your speech. Everytime a conservative speaks a different party line from Boss Limbaugh they have to recant it and apologize to the oxycontin popping, lover of young Guatemalan boys leader of your party. You either bow to him or apologize to him. That is lack of freedom of speech. Rush is the commie you so desperately try to apply to the progressive minded Obama. Shhhh...don't say that though, you might have to call his radio show and share a viagra with him. i won't ask any further questions. ;)

perhaps galen it is you who does not understand, let me put it simply for you,,,WHEN YOU CUT TAXES YOU RAISE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY COMING INTO THE FEDERAL GOV'T,,, YOU ONLY CREATE DEFICITS IF YOU SPEND MORE THAN COMES IN. JFK PROVED IT, REAGAN PROVED IT AGAIN. If you spend money you don't have trying to save the economy, you have already dug a deeper hole

I think your Caps Lock button was stuck....unfortunately it seemed to be stuck when you were trying to make a point that is about as archaic as trickle down theory.

The idea that Reagan was fiscally sound is an illusion:

I responded earlier to Galen s claim that the markets have had its biggest 10-day rise since 1938.

Well, anything will perk up when you throw $1T at it, especially Wall Street, but England already did this and it failed.

England used to copy what we did. Now OBY is copying what they did and it already failed.

It will here too, so fasten your seatbelts for a market roller coaster ride and keep your eye on the unemployment rate.
