the dems just make it so easy.

Republicans=Liars=Assholes....

Smears?

Don't fergit they're relying upon and feeding racist fears as well.

They keep pushing that fear button.

Don't work like it used to.

G08ama.

Be Well.

Most Americans are getting smarter and know that the pubs try to win by fear mongering. Vote Obama
November 4th. 300 plus electoral votes my prediction as cell phone people dont get polled.

You left out the N in Obama.

You idiot you dont know how to spell, there's no N in Obama.

(you make it so easy)
Nobama?

The most despicable smear so far this election (Sarah Palin not being her baby's real mama) has come from the 0bamanites. Deal with it you Democrat hypocrites!

51773,

I thought you were leaving.

But since you're still here, what other name(s) have you posted under here at the Drudge Retort?

It is hard to answer a presumptive question.

"It is hard to answer a presumptive question."

Now you're coy? Okay, answer a "maybe" question, since you've admitted as much.

Now thats a lie. Thats a outright smear of the Obama people. Thats my point though. Its the only way you can win is by smearing. Senator Obama even told the press that Sarah Palin's private life was no ones business. In his own words he said " lay off".

Hey Gimme, sorry dude, the spelling teach is right. Nobama said to back off.

51773,
I thought you were leaving.

see? there again you have formed a question using false information. wasssup?

Hey Elliot,

You seem to be an actual Christian rather than the typical Rtard hate-based-ministry type we usually get here on the Retort.

I have a serious question that I think deserves a serious answer: Given that the Palins (and McCain's inner circle) obviously knew about the child's pregnancy before the nod was given to Palin for the VP spot, what kind of people would put a 17 year old girl thru the unprecedented public embarrassment of a very public outing just to score a very questionable political gain in a moment of obvious desperation? Was ANY consideration given to what this would do to the girl? Is this the best that Christian Family Values has to offer?

Okay, let's get direct.

Have you posted on the Drudge Retort under any other name(s), and if so, which name(s)?

umm difficult to answer.

im gonna go read elsewhere

"umm difficult to answer."

You're actually that stupid? Or are you that ashamed of prior reincarnation(s)? What a putz.

sounds to me i was able to stir the stink a bit. no?

ouch, you called me stoopid (ask Doc)

"stir the stink"

Another PWZ troll.

what is PWZ ( I bet you don't answer)

"what is PWZ"

I already have a prior question on the table for you.

ok. if I answer first, then will you?

Go right ahead.

It seems my post is bringing out the homophobic
tendencies of these Pubs making comments here.

good one teach.

I've used 0bama since before I came on the DR 51773. That's a "0" (zero) not an "O" - pretty much the same thing as you.

never used another name

On January 29th 2009 President Barack Obama will take office.

How can he take office, if he is already the President. Read what you wrote.

not doing to well tonight are ya?

oops, I can see it coming: to-too

to-too = to=too

(nor am I)

Hey JoeLabey who's gonna be Prez between January 20th and the 29th? Your dog?

He did offer her didn't he?

After 8 years of Bush, yes my dog could hold office. He has more foreign policy experience than Sarah Whatshername.

More foreign policy experience than 0bama too I gather. Any China experience?

took him out a lot did ya? can your dog spell?

"Any China experience?"

Not as much as Sarah. She picked out the pattern for her wedding place settings.

Hey teach, you gave me some impressive stats earlier, as well as called me a few choice words, I was wondering how the links to those stats were coming?

(dumbforth butts in again)

Well lets see now Hillary won the WV primary with 65% of the vote and given the opporuntity to vote for that thankless bitch and Obama its Obama hands down. So that means 65% of WV have sort of problem.

Most Americans are getting smarter and know that the pubs try to win by fear mongering. Vote Obama

Come on JoeLabey tell me about your dog's qualifications to be POTUS. I ain't voting for 0bama and probably not McCain either (unless TonyRoma convinces me that John the man like Tonys been doing such a great of selling me on the old RINO). Is he housebroken? Some of those rugs in the White House are pretty darn expensive! Can he shake hands with heads of states?

I ain't voting for 0bama

I am shocked at that revelation.

No doubt about it the Republicans have built a formidable smear machine. It's a great way to get elected and as long as it works they'll use it.

Very difficult to run against. Obama's strategy of immediate response to their lies and his refusal to retaliate and join them in the gutter is the only logical way to handle it.

Now it's up to us. The Republicans will eventually go to the well once too often with it. They've already grown so reliant on it that they pick people like Bush and McCain as their leaders to push through an agenda that offers crumbs to the religious right and nothing for the vast majority of the rest of us. As we all know to our cost it worked with Bush. If we feel we haven't punished ourselves enough yet we can let them get away with it once again and pick MCCain and Palin.

there's no N in Obama.

You're going to like the next 8 years. I have a feeling you'll be hearing about Obama every day for the rest of your life. Even on your dying day. Maybe the last thing you hear will be a news story about Obama as the darkness closes in. Enjoy.

Funny 726 didn't the following part of the same post shock you?

"and probably not McCain either"

Probably not cause you're another 0bama lemming

Headlines on the DR right now:

Palin Belonged to Alaskan Secession Group

Alleged Palin Video Turns Up on YouTube

Sarah Palin "Miss Earmark Queen"

Sarah Palin, Republican Culture Of Corruption

Palin and Her Pastors

Why does the GOP lure so many hypocrites?

Palin's Daughter Bristol Pregnant

Yep, only Repubs have smears!

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

John McCain

There is a difference between use of the truth and use of half-truth & innuendo. Half-truth and innuendo is what defines a smear. While both sides use smear tactics to some extent, the republicans use smear to discredit opponents much more than any other political group. The Republicans are also the most likely to get excessively indignant when the same tactics are used against them.

As your James Dean would say:

*FACT*

The GOP is synonymous with dignity.

The dems are nothing but loathing and vitiole.

FACT!

Speaking of smears, look who McCain just hired.

Former officials of Sen. John McCain's 2000 campaign expressed shock and disbelief Monday to learn than the GOP presidential nominee had hired South Carolina political consultant Tucker Eskew.

Eskew, along with Warren Tompkins and Neal Rhodes, were key members of then-Gov. George W. Bush's South Carolina team during the 2000 primaries. McCain and his team long held Bush, Tompkins, Rhodes and Eskew responsible for the various smears against McCain and his family in the Palmetto state during that contentious contest.

Eskew was brought on board the McCain campaign, it was announced Monday, to help prepare Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for her role as McCain running mate. Eskew will help Palin prepare for her Wednesday night acceptance speech at the GOP convention and for her stump speech as she hits the road, brief her on policy matters, and help her handle the media scrutiny a lifetime in Alaska does not necessarily prepare one for.

AU, I'm not saying Reps don't smear - that's a given. But ever since Palin was nominated, all I've seen on this site and other left leaning sites are smears - like Palin really didn't have a baby - it was really her daughter's, McCain only picked Palin because he's a horny old man, and McCain almost sunk an aircraft carrier in Vietnam. All untrue, all smears, all quotes or articles right here on the DR. Again, I'm not saying the right doesn't do it, but come on, don't pretend that the left is being virtuous in this matter. Even Obama recognized the smears and asked his supporters to quit. If smears are unneeded to win, why is the left so persistent in smearing anything right leaning?

BARTIMUS

It is NOT a smear to point out the disparities in Palin's claims vs facts.

She IS candidate for VP of the United States - a 72 year old heartbeat away from the Presidency.

A 'smear' is what we've been given for months here and elsewhere about Obama - all proven false: "Terrorist", "Secret Islamic Manchurian Candidate", yada yada yada

Like McCain blew up an aircraft carrier, Palin's baby is really her daughter's, and her husband is really insecure about her running for public office - all proven false, but yet it still gets said and repeated over and over by Obama supporters. Again, I recognize the GOP does have a history of smears, but to pretend it's ONLY the GOP is silly.

it is NOT a smear to point out the disparities in Palin's claims vs facts.
AmericanUnrinator your are the biggest fool on this site. You have zero facts about Palin, but you continue to spread the lies with no hesitation.

Why don't you address Obama's lack of experience in any type of leadship role. Can you do that without comparing him to Palin?

Is it a smear to say Obama has no legislative accomplishments? Is it a smear to say he has no leadship experience? It is a smear to say he was wrong on the troop surge in Iraq? Is it a smear to say he purchased his home in a sweetheart deal with a man that was convicted on 16 counts of bribery?

Nope, not a smear; it's RACIST. (dripping with sarcasm).

More proof that the left doesn't smear:

smears the only way repubs can win?

yup - keep on smearin' u.s.!

Maybe the last thing you hear will be a news story about Obama as the darkness closes in. Enjoy.

Let's hope so. I've contended all along that Osama's biggest weakness is his current lack of experience. He needs to wait a few decades.

If he's finally sworn in, in 50 years, on my day of transition, it just proves I was right all along.

Glad you finally learned to agree with me Bob.

George H W Bush said his dog molly had more experience than Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton was the president of the USA when we experienced our largest economic boom in half a century. Bill Clinton put this countries books into the black and turned over to George W Bush a striving economy. Bush 2 quickly ran this country into the deepest debt since the great depression. Then I see Republicans accuse Dems as being Fiscally irresponsible, I have to laugh here, there has been no president more fiscally irresponsible than Geeorge W Bush.

"and turned over to George W Bush a striving economy."

Actually, Clinton turned over a thriving economy. Bush will relinquish a striving one.

Yes clinton turned over a thriving economey. This country is over a billion dollars in debt to China thanks to Geeorge W Bush. It will take Barack Obama
and the citizins of the USA to take back this country from the greedy pubs.

When you consider the fact that Carter is the only democrat president to get over 50% of the vote (he got 50.1% in 1976) since FDR, It's hard to sell the notion that republican smears are the reason for all the democrat losses. Bill Clinton never got 50% and was the only democrat elected since 1976. He was also the only one REelcted since FDR in 1940. Saying it's all because republicans smeared and cheated is like saying Notre Dame cheated in all the 40 some odd straight victories over Navy and that's the only reason they won all those games. Maybe, like Navy, the democrats just fields weak teams?
Obama is no messiah. He's just a lawyer/politician like all the other lawyer/politicians. He's charismatic and speaks well, and the fact that he's racially mixed is historic, that's all. His politics turn me off as a conservative (not that McCain's thrill me) and I have been disappointed to have to vote for the candidate I dislike the least in elections. I think there are many others like me. I believe Obama is a socialist at heart, That's why I can't bring myself to vote for him. THIS is what bothers me about the socialist trend in the USA:

...I'd just like to say that I saw this post and couldn't help but laugh.

Dems complaining about smearing...am I the only one who's seen the 75%* of the headlines here smearing Palin and her family?

...yes?

Hm.

*not an actual calculated percentage, just a guesstimate with maybe 1 post in support as opposed to smearing.

As with the thread concerning "Hypocrites", smearing is another defining action of the career politician(sorry).

Whether a large headline bash or a page three dig, it is the way of politics.
