Obama's Big Lie Campaign

 

 

Fri, Sep 07 2012 00:00:00 EA14_ISSUESPosted 06:59 PM ET

Politics: President Obama says he deserves four more years in the White House so he can fix the huge mess he inherited. But to make that case, he's embarked on a massive disinformation campaign on full display this week.

 

How else do you run on a record that includes the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression, falling incomes, low-paying jobs and little hope of a brighter future? You trot out dozens of speakers at the week's Democratic Convention, culminating with Bill Clinton, to repeat untruths that would make George Orwell proud.

 

Big Lie No. 1: Tax cuts and deregulation caused the economic collapse. Obama's entire re-election strategy hinges on convincing the public that Bush's income tax cuts and alleged deregulation resulted in the last recession and that, as Clinton put it, Romney would "take us back to the same old policies that got us into trouble in the first place."

Fact Check: Top Ten Clinton DNC Falsehoods

 

by Ben Shapiro6 Sep 2012, 12:38 PM PDT

 

Bill Clinton’s speech last night at the Democratic National Convention was a brilliant act performed by a master magician. It was also, like all magic, sleight-of-hand.

 

 

Actually, to be more blunt, it was a toxic, 50-minute bromide of lies, prevarications, and misdirections so fictional that it ought to be placed on the shelves alongside Fifty Shades of Gray (come to think of it, the speech was also sadomasochistic, if the reaction of the Clintonite media was any indicator).

 

There are dozens of problems in the Clinton speech. But let’s just start with the top ten:

 

1. “Since 1961, for 52 years now, the Republicans have held the White House 28 years, the Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our private economy has produced 66 million private- sector jobs. So what's the job score? Republicans: twenty-four million. Democrats: forty-two.”

 

Technically, this is true. Just as technically, Barack Obama should run screaming with his hair on fire from this statistic. There’s a reason for that: Clinton

is measuring presidential tenure purely from inauguration to inauguration. For example Scissors-32x32.png read more

Biden knows how to sell an emotional message.

 

I am 2 rooms away but Mr.n. has the TV on and I could hear Biden's address. I agree with @clearvision. He did what he needed to do. Now on my way downstairs to watch another episode of "The Ladies' No. 1 Detective Agency." Lots of fun, and I won't hear the TV up here. BBL.

Dem convention, night three: Savior of mankind to explain where it all went wrong

Here’s the schedule. Tonight’s show began at 4:30 p.m. ET, but things don’t really start rolling until “Barack’s Angels” formally bestow Hollywood’s benediction sometime between 7:30 and 8. Then comes Caroline Kennedy to remind America that what you think is the sun is really just Teddy’s angelic smile, shining down from heaven upon The One’s good works; then Eva Longoria and careerist loser Charlie Crist; and then John Kerry, who once lost a presidential election in part due to flip-flopping, who’s going to try to get away with a line like this.Scissors-32x32.png

 

After that comes our garrulous moron of a VP to explain how Romney’s gon’ put y’all back in chains (Democrats have pushed him out of primetime in favor of Dick Durbin) and then, at long last, the man of the hour. If you’re wondering how far the goalposts have moved, Joel Pollak summarizes Clinton’s message last night elegantly: Scissors-32x32.png read more http://hotair.com/archives/2012/09/06/dem-convention-night-three-savior-of-mankind-to-explain-where-it-all-went-wrong/
