First Obama attack book in the works
First Obama attack book in the works

By JONATHAN MARTIN | 6/23/08 12:25 AM EST

The same publisher that distributed the 2004 best-seller that took aim at John Kerry’s Vietnam service is planning a summer release of what’s scheduled to be the first critical book on Barack Obama.

Conservative journalist David Freddoso’s “The Case Against Barack Obama” will offer “a comprehensive, factual look at Obama,” according to Regnery Publishing President and Publisher Marjory Ross.

But the book’s subtitle makes clear its perspective: “The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.”

Ross contends that the mainstream media has offered insufficient scrutiny of Obama and likens the goal of Freddoso’s book to that of “Unfit for Command,” the scathing assessment of Kerry’s war record that rocketed to number one on the New York Times best-seller list.

14. Reminds me of 'someone' digging through his kindergarten papers
Silly season indeed. :rofl:

On a serious note, Obama's freshness is a huge advantage. Everybody rushing to publish books obviously have an agenda for this election.

3. What good does a book aimed at Republicans do?
I mean they voted twice for a guy who could barely read My Pet Goat.

Anything more complicated than a coloring book is a waste on those folks.

4. "the Media's Favorite Candidate"
John "Bar-B-Q" McCain? The guy who, according to Charlie Gibson, is the victim of horrible injustice because far fewer Americans want to give him donations and he has to go to Canada to get them?

That's who they're talking about, right? :crazy:

5. Damn! I wanted to be first.
I remember doing coke off a dead hooker's chest with Barack down in Columbia while we were working together for the Medellín Cartel during our summer breaks from Harvard.

Good times.....




Hey! I figure if people are just going to make shit up I should be in with a chance. :evilgrin:

11. I know. That's why I'm paying you BACK.
Look for my name in the book's acknowledgments. And look for your name, too. :evilgrin:

10. An entire encyclopedic library could be written about the "unexamined agenda" ...
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 12:01 AM by Triana
...of McLame and the Repigs.

PRETENTIOUS HYPOCRISY - as has always been the case - is the veritable epitome and hallmark of CONservatives/Republicans.

This tome of hypocrisy will undoubtedly keep the blinders tightly glued to a great many CON eyes.

As for the rest of us, we know better.

9. Obama has nothing on McCain as far as media favoritism is concerned.
