Freeper Jim Davis says his notes on Obama attendance are in Landfill
Edited on Mon Mar-17-08 11:15 PM by RamboLiberal
:rofl: Sorry to link Free Republic - but this is too funny! And now he's trying to accuse Obama people of altering evidence.

My article was published in the first week of August. Everyone's memory was still fresh. I still had all of my notes. There hadn't been a lot of time to doctor or edit any videos or websites. But the Obama camp chose to remain silent at that time. I have repeatedly called the campaign and the church, asking for an interview and mentioning the July 22 date in the messages I've left.

If Obama wasn't there, they should have spoken up right away -- immediately after the article was published. I'd bring in my notes, they'd produce their videotape, and we would get everything cleared up right away. I stand behind my story, but if I was wrong, Newsmax would have published a retraction and that would have been the end of it.

Now, after everyone's memory has faded, my notes have been taken to some landfill and there has been plenty of time to doctor the videos and the websites, the Obama campaign tries to deny he was there? They could have nipped this little problem in the bud if Obama really was not there, and they had chosen to speak up.

I think they are relying on the fact that people have fading memories about who gave the sermon in the early morning and who gave it in the evening, on a Sunday eight months ago.


And Freepers are coming up with evidence.

Your story is not adding up well. The schedule from July 22 shows that Wright was to give the Sermon at 6:00 PM and some other guy at 7:30 AM.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1986607/posts?page=334#334

And Jim baby - no true journalist sends their notes to a landfill. True journalists are packrats with their notes, especially working on a story that may catch fire later.

Good to know you'd rather take a Freeper's word over a democrat.

41. Of course not - but I think Obama understands the weakness of the I never heard defense and tomorrow
speech is doing different cultures see things differently - and Wright as child of the 60's while he is of the more calm 80's.

24. I am not saying it is true - just that it is not disproven - indeed its not important as to
issue of not knowing until last week about sermons -

DVD's are for sale in the church every week - plus he is talking to him on non-church days.

Plus if Oprah knew what was Weight's them from her attendence, I would think Obama would also know

but the idea of saying you just happen to miss all those nasty sermons- well I am glad he is dropping that approach to explaining this away for tomorrows speech - going with different cultures see things differently - and Wright as child of the 60's while he is of the more calm 80's.

53. Your analogy is awful
I am one year older than Obama and there is no way in the world I would be considered a "child of the 80's". The same goes for Wright in reference to the 60's. Wright was a grown man during the 1960's.

Find a better analogy because that one just doesn't make sense.

10. After six years here you want to ruin all your credibility on this?
Are you really going to stick by a freeper - yes, a literal freeper - just for the chance to slander a Democrat? Papau, please think twice about this before you continue. It's just not worth it.

51. It is up to those accused to proved their own Innocence?
Edited on Tue Mar-18-08 01:35 AM by DearAbby
Did I fall asleep and the constitution was abolished? Obama had provided evidence to show he was not there, those who accused him claim they dont have the evidence anymore....just some chopped up video they purchased from the church website.

Sounds to me like a manufactured case, smear campaign. One Rove, I am sure is proud of. And you my friend fell for it.

31. the landfill claim is as likely as the I never heard claim - I keep notes for 20 years for no good
reason.

but dumping in Davis and sticking to I never heard is not the way to go - and O think Obana knows this and that is the reason tomorrows speech is going with different cultures see things differently - and Wright as child of the 60's while he is of the more calm 80's.

It's okay to bring it over if your intent is to MOCK. This thread is for mocking FR.
