Recently the center-right blog Little Green Footballs has been doing Barack Obama an invaluable service. You see, Barack’s incompetent campaign was having trouble censoring the folks who started up blogs on the MyObama campaign page. LGF exposed flaws in the site’s design which compromised the security of the site and left it vulnerable to hackers. However, pertaining to the Obama campaign’s message, LGF discovered countless objectionable posts that made one question just what are Obama’s opinions on cop-killers, Communists, terrorists, and Jews. Even Obama supporters are outraged with the Obama campaign’s negligence:

The opposition has noted, numerous blogs here that do not advance our cause of electing Obama, expanding the # of Democrats in the House and Senate, or advance the cause of Middle East peace and justice or responsible withdrawal from Iraq.

Here are a lot of blog posts here that still need to be yanked as they present extremist pov’s around the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the “Jewish Lobby, ” and 9-11. As a gentile (and as one who knew workers in one of the WTC towers), this is appalling.

But, I should add, unlike Barack Obama followers, McCain supporters don’t see the Democratic Party as “the opposition.” Little Green Footballs has taken the time to give the Obama campaign pointers on web-design and has shed some light on the dark, despicable posts found on Barack’s official site. McCain supporters know that we are in this together, united, Americans one and all. We are not “the opposition.”

That said, Barack has started a new site to “Fight the Smears” (what smears he’s talking about, I don’t know, but that is beside the point). However, the Obama camp has once again slipped up. This time their inconsistency creates false “smears” which (since these are non-existent smears) are easily refuted.

Again, McCain supporters come to Barack’s aid.

Consider the following which is posted on FighttheSmears.com:

The text reads (at time of posting):

SMEAR: Michelle Obama Says “Whitey” On a Tape

LIE: Rush Limbaugh says a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United

LIE: Blogger Larry Johnson writes “New and dramatic developments. This is a heads up. I’ll post the news Monday morning by 0900 hours.”

LIE: Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone says he has “credible evidence that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”

LIE: Blogger: “Tape was filmed between June 26th – July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.”

No Such Tape Exists

Apparently, this first page is just a summary and when one clicks the “Continue Reading” link (which I have emboldened) she is taken to a more thorough refutation of the smear on a different page.

Let’s see what we find after clicking the “Continue Reading” link:

On this page we find the following text:

The truth about Michelle

Lie:

On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.
Truth:

No such tape exists. Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word.
Lie:

Blogger Larry Johnson wrote on May 31st that he would add “New and dramatic developments. This is a heads up. I’ll post the news Monday morning by 0900 hours. Now I know why people who have seen the videotape say it is stunning. Barack’s headaches are only starting.”

Read the post
Truth:

Johnson posted no such update.
Lie:

Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone said on Fox News on June 1st that “there’s a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”

The following YouTube video is embedded:

Truth:

Stone conceded on June 2nd that he hasn’t met anyone who has seen the tape and that it therefore may be a hoax.

The following YouTube video is embedded:

Lie:

“The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th – July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.”

Read the post (at Pro-Hillary, Democrat site HillBuzz – k)
Truth:

Michelle Obama was not on a panel, and the Rainbow Push Conference was at the Sheraton.

Oh boy, what a mess!

Fight the Smears really owes The Free Republic big time on this one.

Noble Patriots at The Free Republic point out that:

On one page, they say that Rush Limbaugh says that the tape exists, then on another page – following the link – they say that Rush Limbaugh says “he heard a rumor that a tape exists…”

Indeed.

I’m sure Obama isn’t trying to set up straw-man smears that simultaneously smear conservatives. Hopefully this “smear” will be reworded so that a) the Obama camp doesn’t provide evidence of their own incompetence and b) Obama’s campaign avoids committing the act smearing.

The same goes for the assertion: “Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone says he has “credible evidence that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.””

This is another mistake, for according to Fight the Smears on page Stone does not say that credible evidence of the tape exists, he says “there’s a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”

Believing that the buzz is credible is hardly testimony asserting the existence of evidence. For example, if I told you that I had evidence that it rained last night, say, for example, I woke up in the middle of the night and heard what I thought to be rain, this is first hand testimony. However, if I tell you that a trusted friend of mine told me that it rained last night and I find his statement credible given the unpredictable weather we’ve been having as of late, this is no more than my opinion on the credibility of the statement, it’s not testimony to the fact which the statement claims to be true.

Surely, Obama will want to have someone go over the new site to make sure it doesn’t turn ugly like MyObama has… right?

In the mean time, McCain supporters will be out there fighting for Truth, heeding the pleas of pro-Obama bloggers, and Proudly supporting America!
