re: #309 Thanos

McCarthy’s article just from a skim seems intent on fermenting the “Obama’s a sekret muslim” angle.

/ All aboard the Nirther train, don’t have a ticket? Your Nirth Certifikit will do - Woo Woo ! Alll aboard the Bellvillebound train! Wooo Wooo…

Read it closer, he isn’t saying Obama is a Muslim he is saying that Obama has been lying about who he is from the time he wrote his biography. He played up his Muslim connections when he thought it would help him and then downplayed them when he thought it would hurt. He has thrown in allot of lies that wouldn’t have seen the light of day if it were not for the birther bull and the resulting scrutiny of his life because the MSM was more intent on protecting Obama than reporting on Obama.

The fact is that Obama’s account of his background is increasingly revealed as a fabrication, not his life as lived; his utterances reflect the expediencies of the moment, not the truth. What is supposed to save the country from fraudulence of this sort is the media. Here, though, the establishment press is deep in Obama’s tank — so much so that they can’t even accurately report his flub of a ceremonial opening pitch lest he come off as something less than Sandy Koufax. Astonishingly, reporters see their job not as reporting Obama news but as debunking Obama news, or flat-out suppressing it.
