Obama's latest strawman

[coadie]

Barack Obama's latest straw-man style of attack is focused on the United States Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has earned his ire by being a free-enterprise group, and one that is practicing its First Amendment rights to criticize an administration bereft of officials with real-world experience but chockablock with animus toward capitalism. Obama's latest claim is that the ads run by the Chamber are funded by foreign sources.

Yesterday Axelrod says the claim is true. He hasn't proven it but says the duty of theChamber is to disprove it.

Who is helping perpetuating this claim -- for which there is no evidence? George Soros: Obama's pal and donor, and a man who wielded his power over his 527 groups to help power Obama to the Oval Office.

Soros is a convicted felon that tries to manipulate markets and currencies.

Even the White House was eventually forced to own up to the rhetorical ruse:
White House officials acknowledged Friday that they had no specific evidence to indicate that the chamber had used money from foreign entities to finance political attack ads.


"The president was not suggesting any illegality," Bob Bauer, the White House counsel, said. Instead, he said Mr. Obama's reference to the chamber was meant to draw attention to the inadequacies of campaign disclosure laws in allowing groups to spend large amounts of money on politics without disclosing their donors.

Of course, their admission happened at the end of Friday -- always the dumping ground for embarrassing admissions -- timed to a news cycle that all but takes weekends off.

So Obama is allowed to make false claims and not back them up with facts. I will let Twisp know.

Though one were raised from the dead Twispy would not believe. The facts only confuse him.

Remember Obama/Hillary/Democrat top fund-raiser and convicted fraudster/campaign finance crook Norman Hsu.

Remember Obama/Hillary/Democrat top fund-raiser and convicted fraudster/campaign finance crook Hasan Nemazee.

Remember soft-on-China Obama Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, shady Buddhist temple cash collector.

Remember Senate Democrats raising funds in Canada.

Remember Obama’s presidential campaign soliciting foreign donations on its website (via Doug Ross):

David Axelrod, who reminds me of a composite of every vermin I’ve ever refused to by a used car from, went so far as to call the US Chamber of Commerce “a threat to our Democracy.” Even Bob Schieffer, who is no Tea Partier, had to reply, “Is that the best you can do?”

I wonder how taking foreign money is a threat to democracy when Soros and his clan brought in 2008 funds by the boat load.

The word is out. The Libs want the Chamber donor lists so they can intimidate the donors. Sending the IRS out for compliance audits is a handy dandy way.
