Now that the cat is out of the bag on sex scandals.......
when is a scandal gonna be released about either OBAMA or clinton as to 'diffuse' McCain's? It would be low but I could see it happening. Hell, one has already made the rounds on thesmokinggun.
Remember the repugs are hardcore and low low low.......

9. It's totally unsubstantiated, and the guy in question can't even remember Obama's job title.
It's pure drivel, and anyone who makes a thread about it here gets it locked. Rightfully so.

Nice try, though.

14. I was wondering if it was crap.
I hadn't seen it anywhere reputable. I had just heard about it and before I opened it, thought it would be about McCain because of all the recent events. So drop the attitude! The OP said how long before attacks were made on Obama and Clinton, I stated I had heard one about Obama and notice I didn't say what it was about or link to it because I was uncertain of its veracity.

It is nice that the Refugs are getting it for once......

4. Obama doesn't seem to have a reputation as a philanderer...
...as McCain, Gary Hart, and yes, Bill Clinton had in their younger days.

Except for a certain ridiculous YouTube video, I think we have nothing to worry about with Obama keeping little Barack in his pants.

24. "little Barack"? Surely you are not casting asparagus
on the size of your candidate's manhood?

Are you? :hide:

5. There's a difference. NYT vetted the McCain story for months before they released it.
It'll take more than right-wing rumors of lesbianism or some crackpot on Youtube to get the MSM to publish a sex scandal on Clinton or Obama.

8. Why OBAMA and clinton. Why not OBAMA and CLINTON, or Obama and Clinton, or obama and clinton.

10. I don't really don't think they're that into each other...
...unless all that fighting on the campaign trail leads to angry sex in private.

15. Sucked all of the air out of Clinton and Obama's message.
Everyone's competing for headlines and this keeps the Dem message on page 19.

More credence to the fact that the GOP doesn't want Hillary in November.

17. I think this was the media's way of opening the door...
report on alleged scandal that happened 8 years ago, then move on to what's current.
The repugs control the media.

18. The NY Times, big Clinton supporter trying to encourage
the right to publish the Obama fake smear? The only question is who concocted the bogus story (Rove or his buddy Clinton).

19. I sure hope that I never have to account for all my sins
You must be a little nuts to run for this office. Frankly who cares. I think they had a story about Hillary and a Foster if I can recall that far back. I am sure Obama must have had a love life also. I guess every one is going to have to face the fact that these people are real.

20. The Obama one is already out. That Sinclair guy and his crazy video tape
about limos, sex and drugs. I don't think it's true but the guy has promised to take a polygraph. He is going to take it soon, apparently: http://www.washblade.com/blog/index.cfm?blog_id=16708

Poor Senator Clinton--time to find her a little dalliance, to keep up.

22. I just heard about this today.
I watched the "videos" and they are bizarre. Even so, it is crap like that (especially when the charge is "gayness") when the rumor-mongering gets even worse. Just because many believe this to be nonsense doesn't mean it won't gain traction, especially at a later date. Hell, look at the "Osama is a Muslim" crap and how that took on a life of its own.

BTW...did you see the "spoof" of the video? It is a fucking hoot! Ibex-sex, golden showers, the whole spectrum. It is really funny.

23. I only recently heard of this silly thing. I'm guessing that if he fails the polygraph, he'll
take his lucre and go home. I still don't quite "get" the lawsuit.

25. The only thing I can guess, at this point,...
...is the lawsuit is to make his allegations appear "real." You really do have to see the spoof of his allegations though, I almost fell off the chair laughing. What was even funnier is was just a smidgen less believable than the one it was parodying.

21. there already are strange scandals afoot
And they're not even well designed hit pieces.
I mean, come on, these aren't even well done hit pieces...
One has Obama with a gay crackhead.
Another had Hillary with a lesbian assistant.

This tells me that scandals mongers aren't even clever anymore.
Remember the good old days?
Bullshit scandals used to be interesting, kinda confusing and ALMOST BELIEVABLE!
The crap they churn out now is so trite. Must be the writer's strike.
But I am amused with the scandal mongers recent focus on homosexuality as a scandal bonus.
I guess if they are the sort of scumbags that make stuff up to titillate, then why not throw in some gay bashing too!

30. If it isn't a gay sex scandal then the repugs don't care, this is tame compared to most others
