CNN debunks false report about Obama

Why Not! You guys do it all the time...

if you could find one single solitary instance of ME taking the word of an unnamed source as quoted by a liberal rag and treating it as gospel, that would be real nice....

or maybe a retraction would be nicer.

I didn't say YOU....

I said YOU GUYS......I'm pretty sure you can figure that one out...

Nothing for me to retract........So I wont be doing that anytime soon..

conversely... we have right here a prime example of YOU (as opposed to YOU GUYS) taking the word of an unnamed sources quoted in a right wing rag.

see the difference?

[Mr. P]

any independent confirmation of the Clinton connection or are we going with an unnamed source produced by a right wing magazine and treating it as gospel?

pretty convenient.

So, you wouldn’t believe Hillary will slice & dice anyone in her way to the Big House, huh? How convenient.

As opposed to the way Bush got into the White House? They're politicians... some just play rougher than others.

I never said that I believed she was incapable of treachery...I only said that I am not willing to accept the reported comments of an unnamed source referenced by a moonie rag.

You'll have to splain the 'As opposed to the way Bush got into the White House?' part, I recall he was elected. TWICE!

Karl Rove ran some pretty nasty campaigns for Dubya. Even going back to Ann Richards and the whispering campaign in Texas that she was gay. Not to mention the Swift-boating they gave Kerry. (And, yes, I know you won't agree with me on that.)

Does that mean you'll never accept another story with info from an 'unnamed source' regardless of who publishes it? The Enquirer has broken some good stuff ya know?

Who must publish it that meets you standards of credible, CBS?

You are correct. Kerrys record was his record regardless of how it came to light for all to see. (I don't think he ever did disclose it like he SAID he would, did he?) I don't have a problem with how facts came out. I do have problems with outright lies.

I know nothing about Richards being gay, was she?

And I think the Swift-boaties were, shall we say, a bit fast and loose with the truth. Just my opinion.

As for Ann Richards, I have no idea, nor do I think it mattered. But Karl Rove thought it mattered enough to use that as part of his campaign strategy.

Do you have proof that Rove spread this rumor..?? Or is this something you just HEARD...

I never heard any claim that Richards was gay...But so what...Some people are claiming that Condi is gay...
Not much you can do about it..

How is a bunch of the people Kerry served with telling the truth about what happened in Vietnam bad? It's obvious that Kerry was the one being deceptive about it because his story changed about 15 times. It wouldnt have even been an issue if he wasnt trying to run as a war hero. When your whole campaign is "I served in Vietnam" can you really be upset when the guys you served tell the world it didnt happen the way you claimed?

Don't forget Max Cleland and John McCain.

Ann Richards lost because she sucked as a Governor. No smear campaign was necessary.
