Tapper is an Obamanite tool.

I get annoyed when people email me crap like that API thing.

Jake is so in the septic tank for 0bama, not even Plumber Joe could bail his ass out.

Is he reading Larry "Roadkill" Johnson's blog?

Tapper doesn't know Jack!

yes Joe and you probably believe sarah burned books and is a racist because she speaks about ayers and mccain and all republicans hate african americans because of the color of their skin........how big is the hook in your mouth?

That comment really irritated me - it's so incredibly backward, when the lefty blogs are the ones who really do eat up every crappy hateful rumor that people circulate.

Why let the facts get in the way of a casual smear?

Jake thinks right wing blogs exist just so he can feel smart when he "debunks" them with 0bama talking points.

It doesn't make you smart, Jake. It makes you a tool.

excuse me, i have joe the plumber on my mind

And the Liberal bloggers are so diverse of opinion, eh Jack?

well...liars lie, and tapper's a liar, among at least one among hundreds of others in his profession...I never even heard of it until it was posted as untrue here...

....did some yell "kill the journalists!" in the crowds too...Tapper?

re: #8 doppelganglander

Why let the facts get in the way of a casual smear?

It hasn't stopped them so far, why should they stop now?

There was a rumor running around Chicago-it was false. Here is the rumor and the facts:

RUMOR: Michelle Obama wanted her photo taken at the Women's Athletic Club. Last year, the club invited her to speak about an issue dear to her, and she declined saying, "I am not going to speak to a bunch of rich white women." So, the club recently denied her request.

FACT: Michelle may or may not have declined the invitation-but there was no racist comment associated with it. Second, the WAC doesn't allow anyone to get their photo taken there-even Maggie Daley the mayor's wife. Members of the WAC support both candidates; I don't think there is a consensus either way.

re: #6 phoenixgirl

You forgot Palin's secret white blouse race signal.

There once was a writer named Tapper
Who thought himself clever and dapper
This statement he wrote
was an unworthy note
which probaply came from his crapper.

Oh please. That story looked like a hoax from the get-go.

Chairman Obama will tax bogus rumors.

It's like my momma use to say: "Never trust anyone who uses the word 'atwitter'"

If it gets any worse I wonder if we can charge them with a complaint under campaign finance laws? They are basically divisions of the Obama campaign at this point.

Let's also recall that it was an anti-Semitic Democrat who was pushing the Obama is Muslim smear (all while drinking the anti-Semitic Zionists/Jews run the world kool-aid).

Some blogs may have taken the story at face value, but most did not.

And the few that did report it, either quickly recanted it or updated their original post informing readers that the story was likely false.

Sad thing is... it wasn't 'bizarre', it could have been highly believable given 'my belle's' angst and track record.

. Jake Tapper is a twit.

These morons assume we get as excited as they do over something like bad forgeries of high school report cards and SATs. The thought of looking at anything objectively when it comes to their side is completely foreign.

Off Topic:
I live in Nashville, TN and just went to early voting - McCain/Palin, Rep. for Senate and House, of course.

When I left I noticed plenty of 0bama/Blinden signs but NO McCain/Palin signs. Called the local Republican HQ and they said they had signs at the voting place (local library) but they were having trouble keeping them up. They had someone now going back to replace the signs.

0bama supporters at work. Change you can believe in!

This is a lie, we're all atwitter about Joe the Plumber-Western Civ's greatest hero since John Smeaton!

Here's the analogy that David Cay. lib economist, uses to described taxation:

It's like plucking a chicken. the government wants to take as much money (feathers) as possible without actually killing the chicken.

The problem with that is look at Europe - all those poor plucked people - and any little downturn - they catch the flu when the US catches a cold.

Casual smear, formal smear, whatever... a smear's a smear (except when it's on my bagel, in which case it is a schmear).

Obama and his supporters keep pushing that "kill him" smear on Palin/McCain. The Secret Service investigation found nothing to substantiate the claim of a lone journalist who made the claim - and likely invented the details even as fellow journalists were reporting nearby. Pulp fiction.

The media claimed that McCain requested a cellphone tower installed on their ranch in Arizona. Sorry, but it was the USSS who did the request.

re: #7 Charles

Heh. The Alphabet networks were giving credence to the Trig Palin being Bristol's kid rumor which started on the Left blogosphere, and they credited 'reliable internet sources'.

re: #88 buzzsawmonkey

By the way, on NPR this morning it was mentioned that lots and lots of young people--black as well as white--are leaving South Africa because of the ubiquitous violence.

The commentator mentioned that originally it was whites who were leaving--out of "racism" and "fear of majority rule," naturally, not because they were worried that the new government wouldn't keep order--but now violence is so ubiquitous that fleeing is not confined to any one race.

As South Africa prepares to follow Zimbabwe down the chutes into chaos, let us remember that it is under the tender mercies of the Communist African National Congress that this is occurring.

And let us remember, once again, that "human rights" are worthless in the absence of a government that is dedicated to protecting civil rights under the impartial rule of law.

When I was a pharm tech a couple years ago we two pharmacists from SA-they left for the reasons you mention.

Psychologically, the rabid left appears to consistently project their own worst attributes on their opponents. This is yet another example.

re: #110 Odinga

McCain must take Pennsylvania, and all the other toss-up stats if he is to win.

I really believe the Michelle Obama/African Press International "story" was intentionally bogus to set up the idiotic accusation Tapper makes.

I have a linguistic quibble. "All atwitter" doesn't unambiguously mean "all [conservative blogs were] atwitter." "All atwitter" is commonly used as a phrase whether the noun is singular or plural - I could say "Jake Tapper is all atwitter about this false rumor," and few would take me to the grammatical woodshed for including "all."

However, Tapper's starting the sentence: "The conservative blogs" (rather than "Some conservative blogs," or even "Many conservative blogs") is enough to imply inclusion of all conservative blogs.

So he's still guilty as charged.

/Ms. language person mode off

Tapper doesn't cite LGF as an example of a "conservative blog". Charles is perfectly correct in his response, but it still strikes me as strange he would refer to his post on the subject since he normally objects when LGF is referred to as a Conservative Blog.

Not trying to be a wise-ass. Just sayin'.

The vast majority of the newspapers are centered on ethnic/religious/tribal lines...and, each newspaper employs a goon squad. There are a few "inddependents" who go about delivering an objective story, but they don't have a goon squad to protect them -- so when the independents try to cover a story objectively, they will be beaten up by the local biased goons...Real mess...

I saw that this morning and thought Tapper was out of line using the word "atwitter." His characterization wasn't even true since I didn't observe much dialog regarding this issue in any of the blogs I came across yesterday.

Jake Tapper has Jumped the Shark. He seemed like that last best hope for injecting an opposing point of view at ABC but that is obviously no longer the case. The ABC Blog is full of partisan liberals some of which includes a former Democratic staffer/intern.

I don't know the story is behind the disappearing blog comments at the ABC Blog but they will typically censor and negative criticism of Barack Obama.

In summary: Jake Tapper

Oh please. No one proved the African Press story was false. Many sources gave their opinion saying they believed it was false. Obama's campaign didn't prove it false. They gave their opinion saying it was false. Just a lot of twitter by everybody who didn't bother to read the African Press website and Obama's camp in addition.

I wonder what kind of pressure they are dealing with over at AP. Based on articles at African Press, it seems pretty clear that there is a conflict of interest over there. [Link: tinyurl.com...] They have a theme that blacks are discriminated against in America while at the same time finding fault with Odinga and his connection with Obama. Michelle Obama probably felt she could get them to lay off the birth certificate story because of a perceived unity with the black community. It should be interesting how this plays out. Do they shut up to support black community unity or do they realize that blacks in America can be just as diverse in their moral standards as blacks in Africa or whites anywhere.

Based on the email exchanges we have a bunch of hotshots demanding they release the tape of the call. Corsi's demands are a joke to read. AP didn't spread the story and are the only ones who have a lot to lose. They are in Kenya. Odinga is there. Odinga people have no compunction in burning down churches with people in them.

The people demanding they release the tape sound like a bunch of kids demanding their mommy buy them that box of cookies in the store.

re: #126 zuukie

If the African Press International story is true, and a tape of the conversation exists, for what reason would the API refuse to release at least the relevant portion of the tape?

It doesn't make sense.

Again, what are the odds that this multikulti "RASSIS" screamer Jake Tapper lives in a lilly-white gated community?

Why wouldn't they release the tape right now? Take a guess.

Kenya: Senator Obama’s relative murdered - Is it a political message on things to come? Remembering the late democrat, Kennedy.

"...Although the family is treating the incident as common robbery, Sarah Obama who attended the funeral of the late Saleh at Kendu Bay Muslim Cementry in Kendu-Bat Town, Rachuonyo district broke her silency and said the family was targeted for elimination by unknown people with sinister motive and expressed fear that the killing has some element of political overtone, which could be related to his grand son’s latest campaign for the US presidency." (more at link)

When at the website, go to the Stories Making Headlines page. It is a list of the stories they've carried. The one on the Millionaires Playground is quite interesting.

I admit, I was taken in. I posted a comment in someone else's blog (also taken in) riffing on the words of "Michelle". That was before I saw the refutation on LGF.

Interesting choice of words: "all atwitter". If a bunch of conservative blogs post about it TO REFUTE IT, that counts. If a few moron commenters (like myself) spam unrelated comment threads (unlike myself) that counts. What a weasel is this Tapper.

For the record, Jake Tapper emailed to say he didn’t intend to lump all conservative blogs together with his comment.

Yes he did.

Besides, we don't need help to underscore a madwoman carrying around a world of scores to settle.

The head of API insists the story is true, according to WorldNetDaily, and that the recording will be released shortly. We shall see.

I don't know if anyone will read this as people tend to jump to the latest thread. But if anyone cares and has checked back here, go to
[Link: rosettasister.wordpress.com...] for the latest information. You can keep up with this ongoing story by just going over to the African Press.

Right now they are working on the legalities.

"For the record, Jake Tapper emailed to say he didn’t intend to lump all conservative blogs together with his comment."

His paragraph begins, "The conservative blogs". Not "Some," or "A handful of," or "Many" or any kind of qualifier. "The" would seem to indicate that yes, he did intend to lump them all together. His email to you is a lie. I would expect a published correction but I ain't holding my breath.

I read Tapper's phrase by lumping the words 'all atwitter' together. A singular person can be 'all atwitter'. I read it to say 'many right-wing sites were excited by this story', not 'every right-wing site went crazy over this story.'

Just my personal read.
