Digging in the Dirt for Truth

I got an email from one of my neocon fans yesterday that quoted another post on some arcane financial blog that hinted that Obama was a closet Muslim, Racist and a relative of bad boys in Africa. How many politicians would stand up to such scrutinty, I wonder. These are the same sources who were outraged at the innuendo of shady dealings with a lobbyist that were alleged in a NYT article about snow-white Juan McAmnesty.


It is difficult to vet every wild accusation, but the link
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obama.asp#church has responses to some of the rumor and innuendo that is being run up the flagpole.

I find it interesting that the usual Anti-any-thing-democrat factions are targeting Obama, because they fear that he would kick McCain's proud posterior in the general election, but that is politics, eh? They would rather see Mrs. Clinton as the Dem nominee, since most national polls have Hillary being tromped by Juan McAmnesty.

I also find it interesting that we are getting detailed info on his cousins and brothers, but no hard evidence on his deeds, which are after all, the critical measure of performance. I personally do not subscribe to nor do I take credit/blame for the actions and beliefs of my siblings or cousins, do you?

Finally, I find it odd that anti-Obama forces are looking for skeletons in the family closet when the most effective counter to Obama is his own record - or lack of it. Like John Kerry - who spent 20-odd years in the senate without accomplishing anything - Obama has done nothing to qualify him as President of The United States.

In other words he is just as qualified as McCain and Clinton!

It will be fun to see what dirt is dug up on Ralph Nader.

In a rare move, I decided NOT to publish a comment submitted by a regular stalker to this blog who wanted to link another Obama smear. There are plenty of other places where you can find that stuff.
