he does not make an outright denial of the underlying charge.

MorningBreath: he does not make an outright denial of the underlying charge.

Because if he says "no" then he validates this nonsense and the headline becomes "Obama denies blahblahblah" and can get legs.

He's too smart for this. The GOP needs to go back to their treehouse and figure out something else.

Precisely. Obama's political savvy is ridiculous- and combine it with the fact that his base consists largely of informed people. Any other junior senator who had been smeared the way Obama got smeared in his primary run wouldn't have even come close to Hillary. But he's able to defuse it, and his base are the people smart enough to see past the bullshiat.

There is no charge until there's a tape.

What credible reason is there to believe there's a tape.

Actually, he did. He described this and all these other vague rumors flying around as lies and trash. In other words, he outright denied this and the many other unsubstantiated claims that are being made.

What Obama said, clearly enough to anyone with 2 functioning brain cells, is "Video or it didn't happen."

But he didn't reject AND denounce the people who are spreading these rumors!!11

John McCain has anonymous gay sex with strangers in airport restrooms.
I heard this from 5 people who talked to someone who said they saw the video.

Obviously my statement is a fabrication based on nothing more than the fact that other Republican politicians seem to enjoy this type of sexual encounter and gay sex is the Republican party's biggest fear.
I made it up to smear John McCain's reputation.
No one will take it seriously here but if I was a blogger, people would believe it and pass it around to other blogs until the MSM picked up on it.

With absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever, would it be appropriate for a reporter to ask John McCain if he has ever had anonymous gay sex in an airport restroom?
How should he respond to such a ridiculous question?

There are some people on the internet who will take this as explicit proof the tape exists.

Anyone who believes there is a tape is an idiot.

The blatantly obvious ignoring of reality really takes away from this comment. Plus, being the first in the thread, too easy.

Thank God. Hallelujah, a Democratic candidate for president who fights back against the GOP smear machine.

And does it so awesomely, too. That was just about perfect.

Obama, FTA: Presumably the job of the press is to not to go around and spread scurrilous rumors like this until there is actually anything, an iota, of substance or evidence that would substantiate it.

I think most would consider it obvious. More to the point:

He managed to include a greek letter in his response, giving him some bonus elite points.

Everybody knows Mccain can't get it up anymore. The gay sex angle just isn't going to work here.

I had the tape, but I recorded over it to make a mixed tape of slow jams for the girl I'm pseudo stalking.

It had a lot of really rare and orginal songs on it that came from the heart... Peter Gabriel's - In Your Eyes. Dave Matthews Band - Crash. Coldplay - Yellow ... just to name a few.

Once she listens to it she'll realize how sensitive I am, that I'm an awesome person, I have a great personality and I'm not like other guys who just want her for sex. Then she'll drop her panties for me.

Either way, my opinion is - meh.

 
sacrileg 2008-06-06 01:24:44 AM  
I can hardly wait until they've pushed out enough rumors about Obama. At critical mass, they can diss him based on the fact "a large amount rumors surround Obama" and on the insinuation of fanatical following with "MSM avoids all critical question surrounding Obama".

Yet, you seem to spend 99% of your time obsessing about one side ... particularly one candidate from that side.


... but you're completely independant, just like GaryPDX.

Well, as everybody knows, Bill O'Reilly is also an outspoken independent. Our guys here are THAT kind of independent.
