Yeah, What About Obama's Drug Dealer
By Dirty Harry on General

Obama's black bag men in the media demonize Joe The Plumber and dig into Cindy McCain's past… Both get full vetting's in the New York Times and today the paper of record ripped into Cindy McCain and still we know nothing about Obama.

Please tell me this is only the beginning of a McCain camp pushback:

........These allegations and efforts to hurt Cindy have been a matter of public record for sixteen years. Cindy has been quite open and frank about her issues for all these years. Any further attempts to harass and injure her based on the information from Gosinski and Clark will be met with an appropriate response. While she may be in the public eye, she is not public property nor the property of the press to abuse and defame.

It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here.

I suggest to you that none of these subjects on either side are worthy of the energy and resources of The New York Times. They are cruel hit pieces designed to injure people that only the worst rag would investigate and publish. I know you and your colleagues are always preaching about raising the level of civil discourse in our political campaigns. I think taking some your own medicine is in order here.

I ask you to let Cindy McCain carry on in her usual understated, selfless and dignified way. The fabrications and lies of blackmailers are not fit to print in any newspaper but particularly not in The New York Times..............

All the polls overpoll Democrats anywhere from 6 -13 points and I think they underestimate the growing, seething anger among rank and file Americans as they watch Obama and his surrogates in the media seek to destroy Sarah Palin, Cindy McCain, and a guy who was simply out playing football with his son when Obama came along — a guy who dared to ask Obama a pointed question.

Ace is right. We need our own George Soros to fund, vet, and expose a media so out of control and unjust it should take any fair-minded individuals breath away.

All Joe did was ask a question. That's all he did. Obama approached him and now they're gutting him on the front pages. Classic intimidation tactic. Don't ask The One a question.
