Murdoch's NY-Post lies about Obama; pro-Clinton bloggers spread the lie
Well, the Clinton-supporting Rupert Murdoch publishes this BLATANT LIE in the scummy New York Post.

January 14, 2008 -- PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barack Obama claims to run a clean campaign, but someone in his camp took a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate's theme song.

As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z's "99 Problems" was blaring. In it, Jay raps, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one."

Some listeners took it as a not-so-sly reference to Hillary.

"We didn't know he used that," a shocked Clinton spokesperson


Shocking! Not surprisingly, a number of dishonest, pro-Clinton/anti-Obama websites have latched onto this smear? The Hillary Coaster, f/k/a The Left Coaster. The odious Taylor Marsh. The only problem with this outrageous tale being told by Clinton's propagandists.

It isn't true.

You see, when the Obama family took the stage, it wasn't Jay-Z that was playing. It was Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." Don't believe me? You don't have to.

There is video and audio proof.

Be prepared for yet another round of bullshit being flung.

2. Truth means nothing to the Clinton camp.
Their version of truth, i.e. any tweaking of statements or commentary regarding situation that supports their interesets, is what they propagate.. and be damned anyone that calls them on it.

4. Obama left the stage to Stevie Wonder.
I am pretty sure he took that stage to U2 but it is difficult to make out.

5. Taylor Marsh is the filth of the Democratic movement.

16. Are you serious?
Ya don't supposed they stopped and shook a hand or said hello to a supporter? I guess they just bolted into the stage? :rofl:

18. I have no idea to what music he took the stage, nor do I care.
I wasn't interested in watching his speech.
