This Tapper story fits the pattern of the campaign coverage.
- If an Obama person said it, it’s automatically considered a KnownFact.
- If the KnownFact is proven false, then the proof is called a negative personal attack that has no place in a presidential campaign.

I agree entirely, Mark, but here’s the thing: despite lack of any factual data to support the Obama narrative, the media (aka the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party) is still beating the crap out of McCain.

No doubt all of the good little leftists out there have learned their Gramsci by heart and are spending many 80 hour work weeks devising all manner of devious stories to control the narrative. This week’s meme: McCain is out of control. He’s gone negative (since Republicans have nothing positive to talk about) and is desperately flailing to stay relevant.

How are conservatives in general, and McCain, in particular, countering this leftist propaganda claptrap? Rush, Hannity, etc. can only do so much. We at the local level are fighting a seriously uphill battle. A little guidance from the top would be nice. Hello, RNC? Still with us? The “Celebrity Video” just got flattened by Obama & company. What’s next? Or have we so lost the initiative that all we can do is react? In which case, we’re dead in the water come November.

attack mode, 100% of the time.

The claptrap above just shows their total lack of credibility. Frankly, given the current story it’s even worse than canceling because he couldn’t take the press. Now we discover he just canceled, apparently because he had other stuff to do.

And BTW, the Obama campaign didn’t “practically” leak the Wailing Wall prayer, they absolutely leaked it.

If anyone is standing around waiting for the press to have an epiphany, get comfortable; the North Pole will melt before that happens (or we will be drill in ANWR?). Anyway, I have heard more intelligent chatter from an Artic Tern than the press in this election. They fawn over Obama, only occasionally ask hard questions and don’t demand answers when they are asked; lest they be cast out from his royal court. The day after any question which seems to pierce the veil, they send flowers and ask if he needs his feet rubbed. Oh well, perhaps I will now know what it felt like to live under the reign of King George,

The press knows the court jester has taken over disguised as the King. He acts royal and whiffs when the courtesans’ walk by. But Obama has entertained them for an eternity and they feel his masquerade is ultimately a divine right fortuitously granted to the illuminati. Talk about Canterbury Tales gone bad.

Remember the last Democratic President in which superfluous celebrity fascinations were developed such as “boxers or briefs”? Seems he had trouble keeping them on; an apt metaphor for the political masque and abstruse message of “Change” which now drones on with Obama’s acolytes. The emperor indeed has no clothes and nobody is about to tell Obama or even whisper amongst each other he is naked.

McCain makes a charge, and it is up to Obama to come up with the proof that it is wrong? Jeez, no wonder McCain is stumbling so much these days.

The McCain campaign has been reduced to making ads saying, essentially, that the press reports on Obama might be unclear, and that it is up to Obama to clarify the uncertainly the McCain campaign is trying to whip up.

And no comment about the irony that the McCain ad talking about Obama going “to the gym” used background video of Obama shooting hoops with the troops in Kuwait? C’mon–intentional or not, sometimes you just have to sit back and wonder at the sloppiness of it all.

is on McCain, not Obama, as it is McCain leveling the charge. Considering multiple reporters from seperate news agencies who were on the actual trip said it never appeared that Obama ever intended to take any of them along, I think this whole thing is, at best, a stretch and, at worst, an embarrassment for the McCain campaign.

The only people I see running with this are people already leaning with McCain. It doesn’t help the supposed narative that Obama had just recently visited injured soldiers, quietly, here stateside, and that McCain’s ad featured Obama with soldiers.

I think it is much wiser to push the stories that have resonance beyond the GOP–Obama’s vacuous rhetoric and vague (and extremely socialist) policy come to mind, as does his breathtaking lack of experience. Painting him as arrogant and self-serving may have legs, but this story just does not seem to have sufficient merit to justify the go-for-the-jugular attacks some want to see.
