Obama Campaign Rewriting History

by

How very Soviet-like…. (via Politico)

National Democrats have repeatedly touted their stand against taking corporate money for their convention in September, and so it was striking to see two emails from the DNC host committee referring to the Charlotte venue where President Obama will speak as “Panthers Stadium.”

It’s the place where the Panthers play, but it’s actually called Bank of America stadium.

A recent email from the host committee signed by former Al Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile urged people to win a trip to Charlotte for the event, which will wrap “Thursday night at Panthers Stadium with President Obama.”

Another email in June made the same pitch about the stadium.

A host committee spokeswoman didn’t respond to an email. But it’s not like the stadium was ever called Panthers Stadium – first opened in 1996, it was Carolinas Stadium, and later Ericsson Stadium. Then the current corporate iteration.

As a Charlotte area resident, I can tell you that there are two Panther statues out front…. and about 500 Bank of America logos all over the rest of the Stadium.  They will have to do a big whitewashing job to get rid of BofA signage. 

Oooops!  Whitewash…. sorry, that’s racist.

  1. I’m a Charlotte native. Charlotte is the perfect venue for the Dem Con because it is and has always been about money. When much of the South was engaged in the “Grand Cause”, waging the “War of Northern Aggression”, Charlotteans were saying, “we can make some money out of this thing.” And did.

  3. Ha, ha, ha. Kinda reminds me if that Soviet picture of a youngish Joseph Stalin with four or five other guys. Later on, each one of these guys was ordered “erased” (literally and figuratively) from that photo as each fell out of favor with the Stalin regime, ’till only Stalin was left. Just as if they never existed.

    Perhaps a better example, also Soviet censorship, is a group shot where a guy was “erased,” and the censor forgot to erase the shoes! Maybe the “Bank of America” signs in the stadium are “the shoes” in this case. We’ll see.

  5. They’ll make darn sure that BofA *isn’t* everywhere on the stadium – or at least not visible, at convention time.

    That Obama works for Big Banking, must never ever be brought to mind.

  8. They will simply instruct the media to repeat every few minutes or so that the “BOA” signs stand for “Barack Obama Again!” and Obama’s adoring worshippers will believe it. It would be impossible…imPOSSible, I say, for them to believe that Dear Leader would have anything to do with those evil bankers.

  9. If the managed to cover the anti-war protests during the Vietnam War without showing a single commie flag they’ll find a away to show that stadium without a single BofA logo visible.
