Obama addressed Miami group July 22, 1:30 pm

[dancingme]

The Los Angeles Times blog reports the Obama campaign's denial that Obama attended the July 22 service; it states that Obama was in Miami that day. (Davis's story was originally posted in August 2007; the Obama campaign apparently did not take notice of it until yesterday.) In fact, according to a Washington Post listing, Obama was scheduled to address the national council of La Raza's annual conference on July 22, 2007. The time of Obama's scheduled appearance is listed as "n/a." Mickey Kaus has posted a La Raza press release listing Obama's scheduled appearance at 1:30 p.m. There is also video of Obama's appearance. As Kaus says, the ball is in Kessler's court.

How could Obama be in a black church service (which usually last for many hours) in Chicago on July 22 and still fly to Miami and make a campaign appearance by 1:30 pm? I don't think so.

1. He obviously had to get his fill of hate for the day to get pumped up for the La Raza speech.

:sarcasm:

[malik flavors]

2. clears that one up.

[dancingme]

5. right

now lets' see if NewsMax issues a retraction. I don't expect an apology.

[mckeown1128]

3. I don't belive it....

Obama clearly had a body double at the campaign event so he could go to church and hear hatefull things. He was in church for a fact because Taylor Marsh said so. :sarcasm:

[dancingme]

4. Maybe SNL could use that body double

because the guy they have now does not look like or soudn like Obama.

6. What! You Mean Newsmax Was Wrong?

:eyes:

[Blue-Jay]

7. Amazing!

NewsMax ran an inaccurate story! I, for one, find that hard to fathom.

[dancingme]

9. I'm sure that's the first time that happened

:crazy:

[Not the Only One]

8. Even FreeRepublic is going with the debunking.

Obama has put this to bed.

[Abacus]

14. wow, they're trashing newsmax

I never thought I'd see something Freepers and DUers agree on (well, most DUers)

[CreekDog]

17. it's funny when Freepers lament Newsmax's lack of credibility

:rofl:

of course that didn't stop some Hillary supporters from posting it 100 times yesterday. :eyes:

[Divernan]

19. Hey, a paid shill/blogger's gotta do what paid shill/bloggers do!

They sit there posting their scripted one-liner insults. I've never used the ignore function before, but it's worth its weight in gold, isn't it?

When HRC loses, I don't doubt she'll sell her campaign's list of paid bloggers to McCain - or maybe she'll GIVE him the list since she thinks he'd make a better president than anyone but her.

10. Bill Kristol reports NewsMax' story in his NYT Op-Ed!!!

When is the NYT going to fire his ass? It's the SECOND TIME that RW propagandist's had errors to retract in his column!

[Yurovsky]

11. Why would Hillary's paper fire her GOP "do-boy"???

Seriously?

I'll never read it again, that's for damn sure.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

13. It annoys me that NewsMax shit now has a conduit into the NYT.

What the hell were they thinking when they hired that ass?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

12. I see several possibilities:

1) NewsMax is lying.

2) NewsMax is full of shit.

[npincus]

15. It is the worst kind of RW rag... that's all it is

it doesn't even make good toilet paper-- too many paper cuts.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

16. But, Obama did hold a news conference in Tampa on the Sunday before the FL vote

[pschoeb]

22. Actually he did not

The Tampa impromptu news conference after a fundraiser, was in September, so was not even close to the date of the Florida vote. It was a day after he signed the pledge not to campaign in Florida or Michigan, obviously this event was scheduled before the pledge, and the brief interview by the local news was not scheduled, the Florida press came to his fundraiser, probably to get his views on the recently signed pledge.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. I thought Obama didn't campaign in FL but "he flew to Miami to make a campaign appearance"

he broke the DNC "campaign rules" twice ...he should not get any delegates from FL then



.

[pschoeb]

21. The DNC campaign rules didn't occur until after August 27

So the July event obviously is before that.

[stillcool]

20. I heard he was in church....

on September 26, 1988 when the Preacher said 'white man'. This should immediately disqualify him from holding any position inside our government. In the future any black man that was in within earshot of anyone making any reference to slavery, voting rights, or Black History should be denied representation of 'the people' of our country.

[elixir]

23. You can parse this six ways to sunday, Obama is in the shitter and needs to get out.

[NorthernSpy]

24. still trying to brazen it out, I see...

:eyes:

25. Kessler-Kristol is the smoking gun...

Someone played dirty, and it's blown up in their faces.
