That Joe Soptic ad: Obama would never say it if it weren't true!
"That’s not quite accurate either. CNN reported that, from speaking with Soptic, it had learned that his wife had continued to have her own insurance after the plant was shut down. She later lost the coverage in 2002 or 2003 when she left her own job because of an injury."
PJ Tatler; New Obama PAC Ad: Mitt Romney Killed My Wife! (Updated: Mitt Romney, Time Traveler?) "Sen. Obama once promised to fire staff who engaged in this sort of attack politics. He went on to play the race card against the Clintons. Now, he is openly embracing and launching the most disgusting attacks since the NAACP accused George W. Bush of murdering James Byrd."
By Doug Powers via Michelle Malkin; Obama campaign denies knowing story of man in Super PAC cancer ad but hosted May conference call during which he told them the same story "It appears Mr. Soptic will be encouraged to be “unavailable for comment” for quite some time — possibly at least until November 7th:"....
POLITICO CATCHES OBAMA CAMPAIGN IN LIE… AND BURIES IT "Well, if you’re the corrupt Politico, you dutifully report but bury what is very big news that could affect Your Precious One's credibility.
"As of right now, you have a so-called objective news outlet obsessed with politics catching a sitting president's campaign in a bald-faced lie, and this is the headline of the piece:

Liberals' Secret Weapon: Republicans Who Don't Read
 |
| Judge McCarthy in June, 1942, shortly before he took a leave of absence from his judicial post and joined the U. S. Marine Corps as a First Lieutenant |
"The claims of Will and Krauthammer are as true as liberal slanders about Karl Rove outing a CIA agent, tea partiers calling a black congressman the N-word and Duke lacrosse players raping a stripper. Even at the time, liberals had to back down from their lies about McCarthy saying he had a list of "205" communists. But liberals write the history and conservatives don't read."
"You Built That Business"

""You built that business but Barack says nooo!" This theme still has legs and will creatively stalk Obama from now through election day...

August 8th, 1940: Hitler begins the Battle of Britain (Updated, including a Facebook link))
History Learning Site "The Battle of Britain took place between August and September 1940. After the success of Blitzkrieg, the evacuation of Dunkirk and the surrender of France, Britain was by herself. The Battle of Britain remains one of the most famous battles of World War Two."Battle of Britain Historical Society "Today, the website is still the most sought after website on the Battle of Britain and will continue to do in the years ahead".
Many links to historical material in this site as well as this one: The great victory that they fought for MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
“Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him all Europe may be free, and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands; but if we fail, then the whole world will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say: ‘This was their finest hour.’ ”
"Churchill flatly refused to discuss anything with Hitler or any Nazi representative." Winston Churchill, 1940

Anderson shelters were designed to accommodate up to six people. The main principle of protection was based on curved and straight galvanised corrugated steel panels. Read more:
Shelters being distributed to British residents, then restored, seventy years later.
"This video documents the restoration process from the initial collection of the shelter, to its eventual installation in the ground. It is hoped that the Anderson shelter will survive for many years to come, and provide the children at Elburton with a stimulating learning resource, giving them first-hand experience of what residents went through during the air raids that destroyed the City of Plymouth during WWII."
Reply: Mystery solved - it is in fact a WWII anti-aircraft site which is now subject to a preservation order since its one of the only large London Orbital gun batteries left.

Fear and Shame on the Campaign Trail
Roger L Simon "Anyone who doubts the enduring power of the mainstream media need look no further than the rise in Romney’s unfavorables in a recent Pew Poll. .... Obama, on the other hand, is still considered a swell fellow.
...."And now for shame. .... And they know deep down that they are responsible for some of it, because they bought and promoted Barack Obama as if he were a messiah without the slightest bit of vetting. Obama was anointed, not elected. To this day no one knows who he is, possibly even Obama himself."

Michael Barone; Ted Cruz and Antoine Dodson
"In contrast, the MSM has been happy to celebrate the much smaller and often violent Occupy movement and characterize it as “mostly nonviolent.”
...."In Huntsville, Ala., YouTube celebrity Antoine Dodson, who is openly gay, dined at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday. “That’s what freedom is. We don’t all have to believe in the same things,” he told a Huntsville Times reporter.
...."Dodson presumably is not an expert on the Constitution like Ted Cruz. But he has something to teach the liberal mainstream media about the spirit of the Founders."
The shameless Harry Reid
Debra Saunders: Harry Reid's big mouth "Reid seemed to understand how fantastic his charge appeared. He told HuffPo, "Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain. But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?" "
We ran this a few days ago, but here it is again: 'Call Obama's bluff!'
From The Washington Post, of all papers! Four Pinocchios for Harry Reid’s claim about Mitt Romney’s taxes "But Romney’s 2010 return and his estimated 2011 return do show that he paid substantial taxes in those years. In 2010, he earned nearly $22 million, including $3 million in taxable interest, nearly $5 million in dividends and more than $12 million in capital gains. He reduced his taxes by giving $3 million in charitable contributions (much of it in appreciated stock, which shielded him from paying additional capital gains.)"
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama unseals his college records

WH Sides With Reid, Calls on Romney to Release Taxes How about we exchange Romney's taxes for Obama's college transcripts? This breaking news just in:

Two from Lucianne:
Even Mother Jones says It's Time to Stop Celebrating Harry Reid "This is contemptible stuff and it's not just business as usual. We've spent too many years berating the tea partiers for getting on bandwagons like this to get sucked into it ourselves the first time it's convenient. It's time to quit cheering on Reid and get off this particular bus."
Bachmann and Reid: A Troubling Double Standard "Bachmann’s claims were based upon the thinnest possible evidence, and she was quickly denounced -- particularly by members of her own party -- for making such unsourced and scurrilous, claims.

"We've Been Warned: Obama ad candid about post-election plans --and it's scary"
Clark Judge "Strengthening the middle class is, of course, a Democratic Party mantra… and a Republican Party goal. It is universal to politics in a nation where almost every one of us considers him or herself part of the middle class. But all the net new jobs over the past three decades have come from businesses started in the prior five years. So where is the president going to find what he calls “middle class jobs” after he strangles entrepreneurship with higher taxes? Meanwhile despite a nod to the deficit, he says not a word about spending that has gone from 20 percent of GDP before his presidency to 25 percent today. Again, he gives not a hint of a lesson learned from his mistakes." Via Hugh Hewitt
Did Senator Obama dodge taxes on a $400,000 gift from Tony Rezko?
American Thinker "Last February, a website focused on Chicago corruption reported that a former business partner of Tony Rezko gave Rezko $400K that Rezko gave to then Senator Barack Obama."
Daniel T. Frawley, a former business partner of Antoin "Tony" Rezko, claims he gave Rezko $400,000 that Rezko gave to then U.S. Senator Barack Obama.
"Frawley's pro bono attorney, Thomas Durkin, has been nominated by President Obama, and championed by the two Illinois US Senators, to become a Federal Judge." Corruption!
"Now that the presidential candidates' tax histories are on the table, isn't it time that a White House correspondent ask a question about Frawley's accusation?"
In real life, the MSM helps Obama carry all that baggage, sad to say.
Brent Bozell: If a Story Doesn’t Help Obama, The Media Won’t Cover It
Conservative Daily News; Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, discusses a wide variety of issues ranging from media bias to the future of the conservative movement. Bozell said:
Here's another on this subject: How Journalists Pretend There Aren't Any White House Scandals
The article then proceeds to list "scandals" the press gave scant coverage to.
I’ll give you a couple of examples. When the Catholic Bishops launched a- announced a lawsuit against the president on the health care mandate that happened to be the single largest lawsuit in the history of the republic against a standing United States President on the number one issue of concern to the media. how much coverage did it get on ABC? Nothing. CBS? Nothing. NBC? Nothing. Read Article...
President Barack Obama goes into the 2012 [race] with a weak economy that may doom his reelection. But he has one asset that hasn’t received much attention: He’s honest. Jonathan Alter
"[Brenda] Nyhan’s methodology insisted that a president doesn’t have a scandal until The Washington Post calls it a “scandal” by using that precise word.
"This grants nearly all the power in defining what is or is not a scandal to the Washington media elite. Congress can launch investigations, hold hearings, or otherwise make real news, but journalists have repeatedly ignored or dismissed the Obama scandals."The article then proceeds to list "scandals" the press gave scant coverage to.
