Have some on DU Swiftboated Obama by distorting what he said about Reagan?

[sunonmars]

1. The idiot should have not even invoked him

You have to be careful what you say in campaigns and using Reagan was well, dumbass.

[usregimechange]

7. Reagan is a wonderful example of significant change in the wrong

direction.

[skooooo]

9. Maybe...

...but he was still an example of change. So Obama is correct. So what's the problem?????

[aquart]

2. Distorters calling others on distortion?

Isn't that what Republicans do best? Accuse others of what they are doing themselves?

You learned well, grasshoppers.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. No. However, I can't forget that B. Clinton is so friendly with Bush Sr.

All this Republican lovefest by Democrats is nauseating. When are Democrats going to stop high-fiving and loving-up Repukes that have done severe damage to this country?????

[Maven]

4. No.

When you read the full statements, in context, it is obvious that Obama admires Reagan's political approach.

5. Hillary Clinton Praises Slaveowner - before the CFR, no less!

This month, I was one of 34 members of the United States Senate to vote against President Bush's military commissions act. On the floor of the Senate, I recounted a choice General George Washington made 230 years ago. New York City and Long Island had been captured, and Washington and the Continental Army had retreated across New Jersey to Pennsylvania, suffering tremendous casualties. Here in New York, American prisoners often held in the hulls of boats, anchored in the harbor off of Brooklyn, were suffering unspeakably at the hands of the British. The cause of American independence was in doubt. Then Washington won the Battle of Trenton, capturing nearly 1000 prisoners of war, and he had to decide what to do with them.

The order he gave should still speak to us: Treat them with humanity, and Let them have no reason to Complain of our Copying the brutal example of the British army in their Treatment of our unfortunate brethren.

[skooooo]

6. Can anyone give me an exact quote...

...from what he said that was so offensive? I don't hear it.

8. The video is in the video forum, shows it without the question and rest of it though

[Capt. Al]

12. This one is going to shoot him off his horse...

and clear the way for an even more Republican minded "Democratic" candidate. I'm sure we all know who that will be. We have only three left and at the current rate they'll gone before November anyway, thanks to this country's "American Idol" mentality.
Personally, I am not moved by their "feel good" speeches. They want to work for the American people? Well first look at their resume'.

10. The entire interview is here......

it was given to the Reno Gazette, who endorsed Obama today...because they believe that he is the one candidate that can change this country in a major way.

15. Get ready to be shocked...

by what he actually said. Nothing like what I've been reading here.

[usregimechange]

11. And I think it will backfire, we are not freepers afterall

[Warpy]

13. The statement wasn't only about Reagan

it was about a whole lot of us who were out there working for change in the 60s and 70s.

Better read all of it.

[stillcool]

16. Are you talking about this interview?

http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080115/VIDEO/80115026&oaso=news.rgj.com/breakingnews

or something else?

[stillcool]

14. I don't think the influx...

of posters of late read, or listen to what Obama has to say. The repetition of one-liners with no substance is a little monotonous.
