I mention this only because today, finally, Obama attacks McSame for being a f*cking relic.
No joke, how can someone who can’t even use email possibly understand the way America works??? The whole basis of interpersonal - not to mention professional and academic - communication has changed since the ascent of the internet. All of American culture right down to the language we use has changed. Seriously, I have to say this gaffe = much more serious than Palin not knowing what the Bush doctrine is. I’m elated that Obama is finally calling him on it.
Whew. Also in smear ad news: you've heard about Palin's support of aerial hunting of wolves and bears: the Defender's of Wildlife Action Fund's ad condemning Palin is so brutal almost hard to watch. Almost.
Blog until they take you seriously: AP finally looks into the Palin book-banning business - and it ain't lookin' good.
"But the McCain campaign, in a statement, said the charge ‘is categorically false ... Governor Sarah Palin has never asked anyone to ban a book, period.’"
McSame continued “You know, that time when she asked the librarian if she would ban books and then tried to fire her when she refused, that was all a big misunderstanding. And the books that subsequently disappeared from shelves were documented as having been spirited away by Jesus. We have the names of everyone who worked at the library at the time and we're looking into why they would all make up the same cruel lie about Mrs. Palin. This sexism is appalling. That is all.” He then walked away from the podium, but turned back briefly with his fist in the air, adding, “Sexism!”
If you're tired of seeing the name "McSame," a) get used to it cuz I'm not writing his name and b) read this front page article from the Washington Post and then start coming up with a new nickname for Palin. "Same" doesn't really fit into her name – the best I've got so far is "George W Palin" and I'm sure you can do better than that.
Frankly, I'm sick to death of writing about how McSame and Palin are constantly telling blatant lies about everythin from Palin's earmarks to Obama's economic policies. If you're not sick to death of reading about it, you can do so here.
Good news, though: this means AP is now officially on the McSame-Bashing Bandwagon. It was originally called the Truth Train, but the right wing spin got to it. Of course, the NYTimes continues to cover the McSame lies as well.
You know what, let me make this easier on all of us: Keith Pickering at DailyKos has already put together a roundup diary of sorts about the GOP lies in which you'll find no shortage of news sources to slake your lust for truth.
I wonder if the public is starting to catch on...revel in it.
VOTER CAGING UPDATE IN OHIO: the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the 1/3 of the absentee ballot applications in Hamilton county were deemed INVALID because the McSame campaign "MISTAKENLY" sent them out with an extra box which, if overlooked, would DISQUALIFY THE APPLICANT FROM VOTING.
I really hope this gets people talking about the cheating as well as the lies. Here’s another blog on the rampant caging situation.
And in other horrifying news, USA Today covers the story on sexual assault victims in Wasilla who were forced to pay for their own forensic medical exams.
And Democratic Luntz does some research specifically connecting Palin to this practice in their DailyKos diary.
If you’re scared, ask yourself one question: Are you a people person? The Obama/Biden site’s neighbor-to-neighbor tool is a great way to take action in your own community. Create an account and you're provided with a list of target voters in your area as well as a phone script, fliers and other training materials; basically everything you need to start your own personal grassroots campaign.
Thanks bob for useless community organizing.
Until tomorrow, get mad and make some calls. And don’t forget to b*itch out Health and Human Services for trying to restrict our reproductive rights (learn more at the end of the September 10th entry.)
