How Obama Fell to Earth

[Austinitis]

An http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/18/opinion/18brooks.html?ref=opinion">excellent article by David Brooks. Obama is damaged goods.

Furiously courting Democratic primary voters and apparently exhausted, Obama has emerged as a more conventional politician and a more orthodox liberal.

He sprinkled his debate performance Wednesday night with the sorts of fibs, evasions and hypocrisies that are the stuff of conventional politics. He claimed falsely that his handwriting wasn’t on a questionnaire about gun control. He claimed that he had never attacked Clinton for her exaggerations about the Tuzla airport, though his campaign was all over it. Obama piously condemned the practice of lifting other candidates’ words out of context, but he has been doing exactly the same thing to John McCain, especially over his 100 years in Iraq comment.

9. An article by Dick Morris in regards to Clinton would be much better accepted around here.

[haymakeragain]

15. Doubt it, Morris is a codpeice too.

It would help Hillary most likely. Maybe he should write another clinton hit piece.

[goldcanyonaz]

23. Many Obama supporters here have quoted him, unknowning that he will back McCain in November.

[MethuenProgressive]

24. Dick Morris makes the Greatest Page on DU every time.

DU's Obama followers love Dick.

[goldcanyonaz]

[LSK]

17. Hillbots sure like to quote right wingers lately

[DemGa]

18. Obama did claim that he had never attacked Clinton for her exaggerations about Tuzla

Didn't he?

Obama likes to pretend his hands are clean -- some know better.

[onenote]

19. given your earlier posts today, I thought you had maxed out on stupid

I was so very very wrong.

Hopefully this is your third thread today and you can go recharge your stupid batteries and come back refreshed tomorrow with even more inane posts. THeir very entertaining in a car wreck sort of way.

[Downtown Hound]

20. Now you've actually resorted to posting neocon articles

Any wonder why Hillary and her supporters aren't very popular around here?

[undeterred]

21. load of steaming crap

:nuke:

[DarienComp]

22. you're still here?

I'm impressed.

[guyanakoolaid]

25. It can't be long before she takes the mask off like Lieberman

Right-wing is as right-wing does

although to their credit, not a single Hillary supporter has so-far recommended this garbage.

[yardwork]

26. David Brooks gave ABC a grade of "A" for their debate performance.

Pfft.

[Austinitis]

30. I know! How DARE they ask hard questions!

[Downtown Hound]

34. "Why don't you wear a flag pin?"

Yeah, there's a hard-hitting cut to the chase take-no-prisoners type of question that is on the minds of all Americans. At a time when our economy is in the tank, the war rages out of control, and our planet heating up, I'm so glad they decided to ask tough questions like that!

I've got no problem with hard questions. How how about we stay way from stupid and inane ones, m'kay?

[Shakespeare]

35. "Does Rev. Wright love America?"

Give me a fucking break.

[Zodiak]

27. Brooks?

Oh good, ANOTHER RW hit-piece attacking Obama from the right...of course, posted by yet another low-post Hillary supporter.

Color me surprised.

[burythehatchet]

28. Ignore Delete Name Removed Shitter Flushed.

[Yael]

31. You hear about this article while listening to Rush today?

[ClericJohnPreston]

32. Is this what happens to reason and common sense when you drink the Kool-Aid Yael?

Drop the Edwards avatar. He will never support Obama unless forced to by his nomination...in other words, like the rest of us Edwards supporters...the REAL core supporters. ;)

[Yael]

38. Don't you have a rock to crawl back under?

I mean really. The FKA "Edwards' forum" now Hillary-supporting-echo-chamber not hopping today?

[MethuenProgressive]

33. DU's Obama Supporters LOVED David Brooks on April 4th.

On April 4th, he wrote a pro-Obama story.

Good ahead, look back at DU that day.

[ClericJohnPreston]

36. Good try MethuenProgressive

But the Kool-Aid drinkers are well under the Jim Jones miasma. They selectively choose what they see and hear, a hallmark of Cults.

Truly, as Mr. Spock would say, "FASCINATING".

[last1standing]

37. You find right wing propaganda to be "excellent"?

Personally, I hate this kind of filthy propaganda, but you seem to enjoy the wallow.

[Maribelle]

39. This op is an excellent example of how the right wing will frame the debate.

Buckle up.
