Media Matters has managed to turn denying the obvious into a somewhat lucrative (for them, not for the donors, some who are abandoning ship) business. MMfA's Baghdad Bob impression, as it concerned Indiana fraud during the 2008 election, was no exception.
From October 18, 2011:here's how Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum began a report this morning: "There may have been some serious voter fraud in the Democratic primary back in 2008." The caption throughout the ensuing segment claimed: "Indiana district accused of 2008 Dem Primary Voter Fraud."
Felony charges related to election fraud have touched the 2008 race for the highest office in the land. Prosecutors in South Bend, Ind., filed charges Monday against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a multiple-felony case involving the alleged forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008 election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot.
The officials are accused of taking part in a scheme to fake signatures and names on the primary petitions needed to run for president. Court papers say the plan was hatched by local Democratic Party officials inside the local party headquarters.
Someone please tell me why any candidate for the White House exhibiting a pattern of distorting, hiding from and twisting the truth is not a matter of national security. Better yet, someone please tell me that it is not the height of absurdity that someone who represents the kind of ideology that our brave men and women have fought and died to stop is now on the brink of taking the helm of our government. If we let this man win this election, we will make a mockery of the blood they shed to keep precisely his kind of thinking out of this country.
For those that can't see the above video: Cargosquid 08 If elected I promise to put a 1911a1 into every pot. You have to get your own chicken. I will make January 23rd a national holiday. Militia training will resume. The citizenry should be trained for national emergencies including that of overreaching government. Tarring and feathering of corrupt politicians will become a national pastime and be shown at Halftime on Super Bowl Sunday. Letters of Marque will be issued against terrorists, pirates, and, oh, anybody that ticks us off.... The UN will be moved to Africa. Drill Here, Drill Now, Drill Over there, too. Anybody that declares that we are only in a "war for oil" will be deported to Darfur where there is a war for oil going on.... Income taxes will be eliminated for Honorably discharged veterans and honorably serving military members. Murtha and Kerry will have their entire net worth confiscated. Kerry will be tried for treason. Murtha will be sent to Parris Island for "re-training." Free trade is good for America. If the other countries don't want it, we will match THEIR restrictions. The State Department will get their funding tripled. All foreign officers will then get trained at Blackwater. Let them protect themselves if they don't like how their bodyguards react. The Army and Marine Corps should NOT be doing THEIR job. The rules of engagement will be, well, you'll find out....sssshhhh. Let's surprise them. If Iran wants nukes, fine. They want to play with the big boys. If one nuke goes off, ANYWHERE, they get turned to glass. Same for Korea. Build the fence. Put the National Guard on it. No more Mexican soldiers crossing the line. Send some maps to Mexico. With big lines drawn, showing "north", "south", and "border". Remind them that 1846 was not THAT long ago..... That said, if their citizens want to become Americans, streamline the process and take ALL OF THEIR HARD WORKING CITIZENS. Cold beer, Smooth Whiskey, and smoke 'em if you got' em. If someone wants free medical treatment, we will give them a free ticket to Cuba. General Petraeus for Vice President. Fred Thompson on Supreme Court. Condi, too. John Bolton as Secretary of State. Ted Nugent as Secretary of Interior. Defense Department renamed the War Department. USMC Gen'l Mattis (ret) as Sec of War. Disband Department of Homeland Defense. Recognize Taiwan as the Republic of Taiwan. (If they want us to do so.) Give India the USS Kitty Hawk, just to tick off Russia. (and Iran) If Georgia, Poland, and any other country wants our help, put their troops through OUR boot camp and training. Then sell them our weapons. The BATFE will be folded back into the FBI. ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, and FIREARMS, should be a convenience store, not an agency. "Shall not be infringed" is written in plain english. The other two products don't need a federal watchdog agency.
Oh, and the White House will get its own firing range.
ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: A top adviser to John McCain said Wednesday that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.
"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."
McKinnon, who was a Democrat before serving as President Bush's ad maker in 2000 and 2004, said that he plans to be behind McCain "100 percent" no matter who the Democratic nominee is. He explained, however, that if the Democrats nominate Obama, he will be supporting McCain "from the sidelines."
