This is the Voice of a Unifier?

September 17, 2008 by GayPatriotWest

In the same video where Barack Obama agrees that age-appropriate kindgergarten sex education is the “right thing to do,” he makes fun of those who choose to get their news from sources he doesn’t like:

As I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. And they get confused sometimes. And they listen to the wrong talk radio shows and watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound.

(Via Yuval Levin.)

Has John McCain ever said his fellow Americans listen to the wrong radio networks or read the wrong newspapers and wrong blogs?

Can you imagine how the MSM would react if he did?

I guess Barack Obama’s new kind of politics extends beyond voting the party line, it also includes mocking the media some Americans choose to read, hear and watch.

UPDATE: I initially put this update on this post, but realized it also belongs here. No wonder Clinton fundraiser Democratic National Committee Platform Committee member “Lynn Forester de Rothschild has said she thinks Democratic nominee Barack Obama is arrogant and has a problem connecting with average Americans.” After “bringing in more than $100,000 for” Hillary, Ms. de Rothschild is backing John McCain.

    The Obamessiah says: “Don’t listen to the Devil.” Remember, Jesus was a community organizer, Palin wanted to kill him, so she became a martial law governor of an Occupied state. Or some such logic.

    In all fairness, the fairness doctrine is to treat your words and thoughts fairly by causing unfair words and thoughts to be punished. Only Obamessiah and guys who morphed Fredanny May and Fandie Mac-attack into a political cash cow and insurers of houses of cards can be trusted to judge fairness.

    He walks with us and he talks with us and he tells us to atone. He directs our ears and talks of years when we were all alone. He points to the sky and promises pie from the treasury he will own. We are mind numb and struck speech dumb by this Saul Alinsky clone. Or not.

    Obama is cool, man. He is SO in touch (or ‘attuned’, as Milky Power Glutes would put it) with all those millions and millions of people who think he’s a joke. He knows what’s bothering them. They’re… “confused”! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Because they listen to “wrong” shows – shows that, in an Obama Administration, would naturally be assigned “helpful” government censors to “make sure they have everything they need”.

    And sex ed for kindergartners? No problem! The key is if *a bureaucrat* blesses it as “age appropriate”. Oh yes, that answers all questions and all doubts.

    Dan, Obama is just taking a page from McCain’s playbook and beating up on the Press… kind of reminds me of Spiro Agnew and his nattering nabobs of negativism line that Bill Safire brilliantly provided. The poor Silent Majority just didn’t know any better.

    I’m guessing that next up Obama will start defending Palin against the vicious sexist attacks Obama put into action… “How dare the press make these allegations against a female candidate; I’m appalled” or something equally insincere.

    Kind of like Biden this past week saying he’ll pursue every course to bring Bush & Cheney to trial, that his buddies in the House Dem Caucus are busy collecting the evidence, going over the crime scene like CSI detectives… and then deny it all on Fox & Friends.

    Say anything, do anything, promise anything.

    Jonah Goldberg was on one of those “wrong radio stations” this morning talking to Laura Ingraham. He made an interesting point that Obama is only comfortable around people who would “throw themselves on a funeral pyre” for him. He doesn’t seem to know how to reach across to those who disagree with him. And it’s reflected in his campaign misfires: the McCain can’t use a computer ad, the endless attacks on Sarah Palin*… these tactics only work on people who are already in your camp. They don’t persuade the undecideds, or the leaners on the other side.

    * Speaking of which, now she’s being attacked by the Obamunists for buying a tanning bed with her own money. WTF?

    Michaell, I’ve been researching the Obama campaign’s claims that McCain “lied’ in that ad and have found that well, if the Obama campaign knew what their boss had said and the content of the legislation he voted on in the Illinois Senate, well, they’re the liars.

    But, then again, they may not be familiar with their boss’s record, so they weren’t lying, just uninformed.

    Now please address the comments Obama made which I quoted above–you know, the point of the post.

    A lot of times, you look at the left, and your jaw drops. And all you can say is, are you people stark raving nuts? But you know you can’t, because that’s just an ad hominem. You have to lay out a case for them being stark raving nuts.

    Michael, for your sake, please tell us that you didn’t attend an upper tier college. If so, their English department leaves a lot to be desired and you were screwed. I’ll give your school the benefit of the doubt and assume you cut class when the basic Basic Grammar lecture was given.

    Rule 1: Never begin a sentence in a lower case. It makes you come off as an imbecile.
    Rule 2: It isn’t necessary to stack 3 question marks in a row (???). One question mark will suffice. Three make you come off an imbecile.
    Rule 3: Learn where to place your punctuation marks and beware being repetitive. What’s the difference between not knowing any better and not knowing at all?

    For example, your paragraph “why do you spread lies??? oh. i know, you don’t know any better or is it you just don’t know???” should be “Why do you spread lies? Oh, I know why. You don’t know any better.”

    If you want to be taken seriously on this or any forum, it would be in your best interest to present yourself in an intelligent mature manner.

    Obama said at his sexy party:

    “A lot of people have gotten nervous and concerned. Why is this as close as it is? And what’s going on?” Mr. Obama said, speaking to about 300 people over dinner at the Greystone Mansion. “We always knew this was going to be hard – this is a leap for the American people.”

    Interesting. In Obama’s world “We” are the Hollywood left elites, and “the American people” are a they, apparently; “We knew it would be hard for them.”

    #9: michael, you f-ing dolt. If you’re going to accuse people of being liars, can’t you at least bother to SCAN the page of the evidence you supply as the smoking gun? The link you provided only says that it was wrong to call the SexEd bill Obama’s only “accomplishment” because the bill didn’t ultimately pass and become law and he didn’t SPONSOR the bill. Big f-ing deal! This changes NOTHING. The bill still mandated COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION FOR GRADES K-12 on methods of HIV and STD prevention and sexual activities and practices. Obama voted for it and he is on the record praising himself for doing so.

    So, michael I would say that YOU are the LIAR, but you’re obviously too ill-informed to know you’re lying and too stupid to care one way or the other.

But michael sank lower than either of them when he posted that disabled children should be put to death so that society would not waste resources on them. And since then, he has only dug deeper.

    By the way, michael: 1. Sentences are supposed to capitalized. 2. Proper names are supposed to be capitalized. 3. Question sentences require only a single question mark. 4. “Einstein” has two n’s in it.

    Dude, everyone knows that is a lie. The bill in question was to teach kids how to protect themselves for sex predators, rapists.

    My God, virtually every major newspaper and most conservative commentators from Richard Cohen to Bill O’Reilly to others have repudiated this but you continue to spread the lie!

    What kind of person are you?

    Good people do not spread false rumors.

    As for Obama’s comment. A demerit for him.

    Sorry, Nick, in #29, even the article you cite makes clear the McCain campaign was not lying:

    But the legislation allowed local school boards to teach “age-appropriate” sex education, not comprehensive lessons to kindergartners, and it gave schools the ability to warn young children about inappropriate touching and sexual predators.

    Ms. Talev, who wrote the piece, merely echoes an Obama campaign talking point. In my comment #10 above, I link the actual legislation. Please read it yourself before accusing me or anyone else in this thread of lying.

  37. Nick says

    September 17, 2008 at 3:57 pm - September 17, 2008

    Dude,

    You’re arguing semantics. You know quite well that it was not “sex education” but was directed at teaching children how to protect themselves from predators. There was no education on sex but on helping children to defend themselves from bad people.

    That’s the reason why the conservative Annenberg Foundation’s Factcheck.org denounced the ad. You’re deliberately spreading the untruth that Obama wanted to teach kindergartners about sex.

    Moreover, as the Factcheck.org specifies, the legislation was not Obama’s. He voted on a bipartisan supported bill intended to protect children.

    You’re continued pushing of this falsehood is unethical. If you want to dance around the truth, especially in light of the evidence, then you are just confirming my statements about your lack of respect for morality.

    Good people do not take something that was meant to protect children and turn it into a vicious smear. Are you saying that it would be better not to educate children with their parents’ approval against being victimized by a child rapist?

    There’s no way around this. You are making legislation that was aimed to protect and gave parents the ability to opt-in or opt-out into something unseemly. How is that moral?

    Obviously, Richard Cohen, Annenberg, and other conservatives, moderates, and liberals disagree with you.

    Can’t you provide a logical basis for your pushing this?

  38. Nick says

    September 17, 2008 at 4:00 pm - September 17, 2008

    From the article you quoted:

    “Why that’s wrong: This is a deliberately misleading accusation. It came hours after the Obama campaign released a TV ad critical of McCain’s votes on public education. As a state senator in Illinois, Obama did vote for but was not a sponsor of legislation dealing with sex ed for grades K-12.”

    Why do you continue to deliberately “mislead” others? Again, where is the integrity in that?

    You are creating a digital, permanent record. Do you really want to stand by this?

  39. GayPatriotWest says

    September 17, 2008 at 4:14 pm - September 17, 2008

    Nick, did you even read the legislation? Go read it.

    And please don’t call the Annenberg Foundation conservative or suggest that Richard Cohen is conservative.

    I can provide a logical basis; I’ve linked the legislation. Let me repeat, I’ve linked the legislation. Look at it for yourself. Byron York did and found that ad was justified.

    Did the McCain ad say Obama sponsored the legislation? If it did, you might have a point.

  40. North Dallas Thirty says

    September 17, 2008 at 4:15 pm - September 17, 2008

    You’re arguing semantics. You know quite well that it was not “sex education” but was directed at teaching children how to protect themselves from predators.

    Nick, I believe we already dealt with you on this yesterday.

    Put bluntly, only in the liberal world would it be considered “protecting themselves from predators” to teach kindergartners the joy of masturbation. But then again, given your support of taking children to sex fairs where adults masturbate and have sex in front of them, we shouldn’t be surprised.

  41. John says

    September 17, 2008 at 4:21 pm - September 17, 2008

    You’re arguing semantics. You know quite well that it was not “sex education” but was directed at teaching children how to protect themselves from predators. There was no education on sex but on helping children to defend themselves from bad people.

    I can only conclude after reading the bill for myself that you have not done likewise and instead are spouting Democrat talking points. Yes, “teaching children how to protect themselves from predators” is in the bill, but so is this on sex ed:

    Each class or course in comprehensive sex education in any of grades K through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV.

    Last time I checked, “K” usually refers to “kindergarten” in the context it is used.

    the conservative Annenberg Foundation

    “Conservative”? How do you arrive at this conclusion and what happened to its claim of non-partisanship?

  42. Nick says

    September 17, 2008 at 5:15 pm - September 17, 2008

    Again, the article clearly states that the ad and claim are misleading. Kindergartners were to be taught how to protect themselves from sexual predators. You continue to skirt that issue, why? You want to make this about icky sex and diseases instead of protecting children from rapists.

    The author of the article is quite direct in saying that the McCain ad is misleading. Why are pushing misinformation? Moreover, Richard Cohen and other conservative commentators have been quite blunt in denouncing this attack.

    Moreover, the legislation, which Obama did not author, provided parents and schools the ability to opt-in and opt-out. Are you saying that parents should not be able to teach their children how to protect themselves against sexual predators?

    Are you also saying that parents who choose to have schools educate their children about predators or disease don’t have the right to do so?

    As for factcheck.org, I stand corrected on their non-partisanship. The Annenberg Foundation, however, has always been noted for its conservative bent. See, I’m able to admit a mistake.

    You’re being quite Orwellian in your twisting of facts to suit your purpose.

    From Richard Cohen of the Washington Post:

    “The precise moment of McCain’s abasement came, would you believe, not at some news conference or on one of the Sunday shows but on “The View,” the daytime TV show created by Barbara Walters. Last week, one of the co-hosts, Joy Behar, took McCain to task for some of the ads his campaign has been running. One deliberately mischaracterized what Barack Obama had said about putting lipstick on a pig — an Americanism that McCain himself has used. The other asserted that Obama supported teaching sex education to kindergarteners.
    ad_icon

    “We know that those two ads are untrue,” Behar said. “They are lies.”

    Freeze. Close in on McCain. This was the moment. He has largely been avoiding the press. The Straight Talk Express is now just a brand, an ad slogan like “Home Cooking” or “We Will Not Be Undersold.” Until then, it was possible for McCain to say that he had not really known about the ads, that the formulation “I approve this message” was just boilerplate. But he didn’t.

    “Actually, they are not lies,” he said.

    Actually, they are.

    McCain has turned ugly. His dishonesty would be unacceptable in any politician, but McCain has always set his own bar higher than most. He has contempt for most of his colleagues for that very reason: They lie. He tells the truth. He internalizes the code of the McCains — his grandfather, his father: both admirals of the shining sea. He serves his country differently, that’s all — but just as honorably. No more, though. ”

    Are you going to say that Cohen is not a conservative? That would come to a shock to most. If you say he is an Obama supporter, you would easily be disproved given Cohen’s long history of dislike for Obama.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/15/AR2008091502406.html

    You are parsing words and meaning to try to smear Obama. You’re failure to acknowledge a mistake only digs a deeper whole in which you bury yourself.

  43. V the K says

    September 17, 2008 at 5:25 pm - September 17, 2008

    Nick is BS, and I don’t mean Bachelor of Science. The relevant section of the Bill is Section 3a, and there isn’t a damn word in it (or anywhere else) in the bill about avoiding sexual predators. The closest thing is section 6, where the course materials are required to explain statutory rape, but this is directed at kids not doing it.

    It’s also worth noting that the requests for the change from 6-12 to K-12 came from Planned Parenthood, a company with a financial interest in both expanding sex ed and in maximizing the number of teen pregnancies.

    I could sum up by saying that Nick is using the tactic of trying to convince us to to reject the obvious and believe the implausible.

    And then he has the audacity to suggest that it is somehow unethical of us to base our opinion on the actual language of the bill instead of the spin put out by Obama’s shills.

    This is why I come to this blog. Truth wills out. After discussions and links it is now obvious that the Obama trolls are lying about what the bill and Baracks intentions were. He was for K-12 sex ed. Now because he is a Presidential candidate, he is backtracking on his intentions back then because it is obviously out of the American mainstream. Instead of admitting his extremeism his supporters obfuscate. The figure if they stonewall thru a couple news cycles this abomanation will go away. This is the new tone, the post partisianship, the mainstream candidate who will bring us together. Extreme liberalism. Hiding out until after November 4th.

    Yeah, “narrow.” That’s liberal-speak for people who think for themselves and won’t just agree with the leftist position. michael, you’re the narrow one. You just pop in here to type your leftist haiku verse and then refuse to engage in honest, open debate and answer questions to defend your beliefs. You’re too “narrow” to adopt principled positions that you can discuss and defend on the fly, no matter what the opposition says or where the debate goes. You depend on keeping the discussion “narrow” so that you won’t forget what you’re supposed to believe. Staying narrow keeps you from getting lost in a challenging discussion where you might have to admit that you’re wrong.

    Interesting how the believers post complete thoughts in properly punctuated sentences, but the atheist can only manage disjointed, ungrammatical fragments.

    michael only posts in spurts. Its a synapse and attention span thing. Little letter people can’t transition with the “shift” key because it causes “cognito spurtus interruptus.” Also, posting is a form of masturbation for little letter people. After three posts they are worn down to “god is dead.” Strangely, it makes perfect sense to them. All the little letter people gather around the screen and giggle and howl with delight. Did I mention that all the little letter people are gathered inside of one cranium where they talk to each other? There is a cacaphony of voices in there, but not much else.

    #58. I think I saw the adventures of the little letter people on Sesame Street as a kid.

    They all wandered aimlessley until a Capital ‘O’ came and told them what to do.
