Yet another smear, already forwarded to Obama campaign

[matt819]

Anyone else see this one? I won't copy it here. It is, as usual, vile, nasty, and undoubtedly wrong. And this was received from a friend (former?). The gist of it was the somehow Obama was rude to law enforcement officials in Michigan because he didn't want to have his photo taken with people in uniform. Where do they come up with this crap. By the way, the originator of the e-mail was Jason Kern, Michigan Tactical Officer's Association, Michigan State Police, Executive Board.

3. Left over bullshit from the Clinton years.

I can't count the number of variations I heard on the ridiculous story of Clinton being abusive to lower-rank soldiers -- spitting at them, staring at them in hate, etc. Many of these stories were told as "a friend of my brother told me..." or something similar.

5. Wow, that sounds like something they might've dusted off from 2004

They tried a lot of bogus crap like that on Kerry. Unfortunately Kerry didn't have as strong a team behind him as Barack does. Also, Barack has people on his team who were paying attention in 2004 when some of these techniques started.

6. Some other tinfoil Freepville's trying to launch

Secret Michelle Obama tapes with Odinga being held hostage by a Kenyan national until a major network offers to pay, air it in full and refuses to license it to anyone else...

Bill Clinton will be endorsing McCain...

Ayers secretly babysat Obama's kids (to go national and cause MAJOR DAMAGE this week)...

A former PLO member turned Christian convert saying Obama said he's really Muslim...

Powell's a closet Muslim and will be changing his name soon...


Oh, and I saw this nice graphic a few times over there:

7. I should have checked first

Here's the background on this, including a somewhat feeble explanation from the originator -- http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/5/203913/5164/425/588428. The long and short of it is that the originator appears not to be an Obama fan, thouigh the story is not quite as described in the smear e-mail.

8. Oh, I don't know that your email originated with Free Republic

so much as I threadjacked to put out what I'd learned at Freeper camp today. They're brewing all kinds of crazy email jihad plans over there, so a connection's not implausible.
