For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Gotcha Politics.

By now, you've likely read about or seen Barack Obama's Muslim faux pas on Sunday's "This Week." As I watched it in real time, I didn't think much about it, but began receiving e-mail and private messages from members and readers. Two of the editors conferred, and agreed that in the full context of the discussion Obama and Stephanopoulos were having, this was an innocent mistake. FWIW, Hot Air's Allahpundit saw it the same way.

In the end, there were a lot more important issues Obama discussed Sunday that should enrage citizens such as his error concerning selective service, what he said about tax cuts being delayed, and abortion.

Aren't those more important than an obvious slip of the tongue during a lengthy interview? Or is gotcha politics the way of our world, and we should all just get used to it?

I agree that the "muslim religion" comment was a slip.  Nothing sinister.

The part that really got me was when he tried to "clarify" what he meant by his comment concerning not wanting his daughters being punished by a baby if they made a mistake.  He floundered painfully for way too long before I got so disgusted I had to leave to get another cup of coffee in the kitchen.  Not sure when he shut up but it was painful to watch and listen to.  His "...uh...uh...uh..." thoughtful pauses were in overdrive!  

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."  - Paul (Rom. 13:1) 

I don't think Obama is a Muslim either

and I said that yesterday when I posted the video, but I do think it's a funny Gaff that the media would be all over if it were a Republican. So I say it's a fair laugh.  

I do think his faith is phony and a political calculation rather than anything true and meaningful.   He sought out Trinity United and Rev Wright based on what it could do for him politically.   I doubt to many faithful Christians would ever make that type of Gaff, but a non-religious person pretending to be religious easily could.  

In the end, it doesn't really make any difference to me.  I don't need a candidate to share my faith, only my values.  I could vote for a Muslim candidate if they were a loud outspoken critic of the terrorists and radical Islam and were committed to defeating them.  They would also need to be outspoken about Israel's right to exist.  Other requirements would be that they are against abortion and activist judges and believe in freedom of religion (not from religion) and support small government, low taxes and  capitalism

I could vote for a Muslim

I could vote for a Muslim candidate if they were a loud outspoken critic of the terrorists and radical Islam and were committed to defeating them - And I say no to a Muslim.  That is a bridge too far akin with worshipping idols.  Only if trhe other choices were really bad, and I mean catestrophic.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

 Helen,  all that is well

 Helen,  all that is well and good, it may have been a slip by Obami (I happen to think it wasn't, I believe he is a Trojan Horse).  But they hammer McCain on his obvious slip up when he said we'd be in Iraq for 100 years.  He didn't mean at the present levels.  For God's sake, we've been in Japan and Germany for 63 years after WWII.

Everything it appears doesn't work both ways.

I don't know

"My Muslim faith" did sort of easily roll off his tongue.

Here's a test.  Try saying those three words out loud and you'll understand my point. 

Good thing Steffie was there to tell him what he really meant to say.

Hey Cool Arrow: # of Islamic states? 57

Lump that comment with his 57 states comment (the number of states in the Islamic Republic) and I see a trend here.

I was thinking about how

I was thinking about how Palin is being called a right-wing extremist, yet we never hear Obama or Biden called left-wing extremists. 

As I was thinking about this it occured to me:  isn't it strange that it is considered extremist to believe a human embryo is a human life, yet it is perfectly reasonable to believe that if a baby survives an abortion attempt, it's OK to kill it? 

And it's intolerance to believe marriage is for a man and a woman, or defending ourselves against terrorists and tyrants is warmongering, or prosecution of criminals is fascism, or...you get the point.  Who are the extremists?

matt, I learned a long time

matt, I learned a long time ago that there ARE no "left-wing extremists;" whatever stance liberals take is "moderate" or "centrist."  There are only "normal" people and "right-wing extremists."

mb...I agree, to a

mb...

I agree, to a point. I have long ago stopped calling anyone on the left an extremist, because over time they have proven, at least to me, they should simply be called STUPID! Yeah, I know that's not nice, but I can no longer help myself. They are what they are!

Yeah, I am tired of fake

Yeah, I am tired of fake outrage on both sides. I cannot vote for Obama because of ideological reasons. I honestly could care less if he were Muslim. What I do care about is whether he loves America (which I believe he does), whether he has what it takes to make hard decisions (No), whether his vision for America is good for America (double No).

His associations concern me because they speak to his deepest convictions, birds of a feather, you know.

And finally (but most importantly), I made a vow some time ago to never vote for a Pro-Choice candidate. Never.

Hey Roger

I was actually at the game yesterday. It was weird, the Pirates had a no hitter going and all of a sudden The Giants exploded with 10 runs in one inning. I'm not a regular fan of baseball, but I know that does not happen very often.

Pretty exhausted, I was in Lake Tahoe on Friday, The Giants game yesterday and tonight I will be going to the Raiders on MNF. Tomorrow I will be back at work :-(

PS, I am awfully tempted to comment on your "greatest show" link, but It will get me in trouble :-)

"Or is gotcha politics the way of our world, and we should all just get used to it?"

I think it's fair to say that "gotcha politics" is the way of the Democrats, and the MSM. Maybe when you're in a pie fight, you throw pies.

I wish it could be about the issues, but since the lefties lose in that arena, expect them to play "gotcha" for the next two months... and beyond.

The "Muslim" thing was a

The "Muslim" thing was a slip of the tongue.

The "Selective Service" thing was a deliberate attempt to deceive, just like HRC's "I tried to join the Marines" line.

However, his stance on tax cuts shows that he doesn't even have the basic knowledge that I, a homemaker, have about taxes, just from  being fairly well-read.

He says of McCain:

John McCain likes to talk about fiscal responsibility, but there is no doubt that his proposals blow a hole through the budget,"

But his idea to raise more money is to raise taxes.   He doesn't think that people's behavior will change as a result of tax policies. 

 

 

I too think the Muslim

I too think the Muslim thing was a slip of the tongue...on the other hand I would advise the crew that works for Obama., and Obama himself to quit bringing up the Muslim issue himself...he always does it first most times with his own words saying this is how the repubs are trying to paint me...blah blah blah...same as he had done with the race issue...

If you don't want this constantly brought to attention...shut your own mouths.

McCain has never brought up either issue that I know of...especially in any derogatory way...in fact he has gone out of his way to do the opposite, including throwing a few people under the bus along the way.

Quintessential chauvinism is to have a female train the male to be her boss.  It's the ultimate put down.  This is so condescending to Hillary as a woman that I actually feel sorry for her even if she is a Democrat.  Hillary has been forced to work (sell out) for Obama to pay off her campaign debts, this is definitely having her face rubbed in it.  Take note Feminists, not only were you to be joyful in servicing Bill Clinton for his amusement now you have to do Obama and Biden's work for them to prove you're a loyal Democrat.

Abortion issue

Glad to see the abortion issue in the news again. Joe Biden is another one of the liars who claim to be Catholic and yet support killing babies in the womb. Joe, you are a plagiarist, but you are not a Catholic. Go ahead, be whatever you want to be, but you are not any more a Catholic than are Pelosi, Kennedy, or Kerry. Why can't these people and Barry O. simply admit what they are? We all know the answer to that, don't we.

Yeah, I'm with you. How do you accidentally say "my Muslim faith"? That's like accidentally saying "my gay lover". I didn't listen to the whole interview, so maybe he did make an innocent mistake. Hope he cuts out those innocent mistake if he makes it to the White House. I'd hate for him to hit the high gas price button when he meant to hit the low gas price button. ;)

One of the most interesting parts of the interview to me was when he said we need to stop comparing the resumes of the candidates, lol.

Yeah, I bet you do want to stop with the resume comparisons. I don't blame you....I would too.

My Muslim faith" did sort of easily roll off his tongue - I am reminded of teh scene in Legally Blonde where the lawyer is quetioning a witness.  The defendent is accused of murder and the witness is supposedly her boyfriend.  He is homo and the lawyer makes a barrage of questions and at the end the lawyer asks "and your boyfriend is" and the witness says some name.  In the same way Barrack made a slip of the tongue, I believe he is in the religion game as a shortcut to political power.    nothing more.

Read a great lefty rumor this morning.

Because of Sarah Palin, Obama is reaching out to Clinton, and that Biden will soon withdraw from the ticket due to "illness" or for "personal reasons". Clinton will then join the ticket. 

If I were Obama, and it did/does happen, I would worry SERIOUSLY about assassination. Does anyone honestly think she would be #2 for four to eight years? (Granted, Bill has been treating her like she's #2 for at least 20, but that's another story....)

Sounds interesting but,

I don't think John McCain needs to do gotcha politics. Obama is an open wound.  Read David Freddoso's The Case Against Barack Obama.  You will see from the FIRST chapter that Obama is NO agent of change but a spoke in the wheel of big government and Crook County corruption. 

He's the same old same old.

As Larry Kudlow pointed out...Obam's tax cuts are actually tax credits. i might have missed it, but i have not seen one marginal tax rate proposed by Obam's yet.  Oh then again that would mean stating something specific, which he will avoid like the plague

It's Monday, here's a joke...

Considering the number of lawyers on the lib side of the ticket this year, I thought I would share one of my favorite lawyer jokes with y'all. It also displays the sort of down home, common sense logic you'll find in the good ole state of Texas... Having lived there a few years, I could almost believe this to be a true story! ;-)  (and if you wanna have a real laugh, you could pretend the lawyer was John Edwards!)

A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy.  
He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer
from New York and is certain that he has a better education than any
cop from Texas. He decides to prove this to himself and have some
fun at the Texas deputy's expense.

The deputy says, 'License and registration, please.'

'What for?' says the lawyer.

The deputy says, 'You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign.'

Then the lawyer says, 'I slowed down, and no one was coming.'

'You still didn't come to a complete stop', says the deputy. 'License and registration, please.'

The lawyer says, 'What's the difference?'

'The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law...
License and registration, please!' the Deputy says.

Lawyer says, 'If you can show me the legal difference between slow down
and stop, I'll give you my license and registration and you give me
the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.'

'That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,' the deputy says.

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating
the daylights out of the lawyer and says, 'So, do you want me to stop, or
just slow down?'

The gotcha game is just a

The gotcha game is just a diversion from the real issues when they don't help your candidate, that's why the Dem mouthpieces, the MSM play the game. In fact, I'm more inclined to believe the MSM will opportunistically cover the blogs responding to it in an agent provocateur manner to discredit the blogs. 

However, I have a gotcha and substantive issue rolled into one.  You think the MSM will cover it?  My bet, not even as well as they did the Edwards cheating story. Because if they did, the entire house of cards would come tumbling down and we would have Clinton crying for a "do over" to take the empty suit's place.

Unfortunately his views are the norm for his ilk in the British media. He has a show on BBC radio. And the BBC News as a whole is so far in the Tank for Obama, it's like they are twinned with MSNBC.

Fortunately, this unhinged Palin hatred continues to hit the Dems and helps the Reps. Look to the polls.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

POTUS Health Concern

I'm tired of all these remarks that John McCain is not healthy enough to be President because he is old. There is statisical evidence that Obama could be just as much at risk.

"Death rates for black men are higher than for whites at all ages below 84, but the divide reaches its peak between 45 and 64, the years when diseases that afflict many older Americans begin to hit black men sooner and harder. Stroke and diabetes killed black men between 55 and 64 at about three times the rate for white men their age in 2000, according to the National Centers for Health Statistics, while cancer and heart disease killed black men in that group at rates 50 percent above those for their white peers."

Palin's "gaffe"

Its being reported a gaffe, but she is correct and the so called experts should all be fired.

http://www.huffingto...

With Sarah Palin

With Sarah Palin, a person has to listen and use a bit of logic.  Neither of those traits are liberal strengths.  Liberals tend to go for the emotional rather than the logical.  (I can't wait for the VP debates.  Unless Biden is put on Prozac, he'll be hurling sexist insults at Governor Palin within 15 minutes).

I agree that ALL experts

I agree that ALL experts should be fired.

There is something fundamentally wrong when two people spend a lifetime on a subject and come up with completely opposite conclusions.

When this occurs, they should both be ignored because it is obvious that they have injected their personal feelings into their conclusions.

 If both had been dispassionate, they should  come up with identical conclusions.

Remember the definitions of an EXPERT:

An EX is a has been, and a SPURT is a drip under pressure.

Fannie/Freddie

So now the members of that elite society with the 75% disapproval rating get to skate! A little history is in order here. it wasn't long ago when the mortgage companies were accused of "redlining". A process that congress called racist. It was no more than a method of qualifying potential mortgage clients. I remember Schumer declaring that "every American has a right to his own home." The fact that every American needs to pay for his home was noticably missing. Now Congress gets to walk away, those Americans that deserved the home get to walk away and the Americans who continue to pay for their home, get to pay the tab. I can't remember a larger transfer of wealth! 

US Weekly Updated

For everyone who was furious at US Weekly's sliming of Gov. Palin on their cover last week (Babies, Lies, Scandal)...

Michelle Malkin today has an item on what was INSIDE that very same issue. 

No, not the story about the Palins....this was an homage to Michelle Obama's fashions in the campaign.

Obama should have to claim Viacom as an "in kind contribution."

Balak and Balaam

I see a correlation between how the drive by media is treating Gov. Palin and the story of Balak and Balaam. If you don't know the story from the Bible, Balak hired Balaam to curse the nation of Israel. Everytime he did God blessed the nation. The media is getting their Balaam's to curse Gov. Palin. One problem. She is getting stronger and more support from these attacks.

One other thing. Balaam's jackass talked to him.  

If pro is the opposite of con what is the opposite of progress? Congress!

Not getting much play

It seems like the Muslim faith gaffe is not getting that much play, even on conservative blogs.

Sarah Barracuda

Here is a fabulous commentary by Jack Kelly about Sarah Palin. (h/t WND) 

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

 I have a concern about

 I have a concern about Russia moving war ships into the Caribbean Sea.  Not to war monger, but, I believe Mr Bush is within his rights to invoke the Monroe Doctrine if this does happen.

Theodore Roosevelt set the example for this with Germany and Venezuela a little more than one hundred years ago.  We cannot let an aggressive country, which Russia is, to get a toehole in the Western Hemisphere.

"Fighters are fun but bombers make policy"

Others have noted this

Others have noted this before: It's not so much that Barack makes gaffes, it's the nature of the gaffs he makes that causes heads to turn. It's as though he were not properly programmed in basic thinking skills. There's a CPU problem in his head, more than a simple "Opps" gaff. That happens sometimes when a person is in a post-hypnotic state.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

Obama now putting people on a "Watch List"

From all the reports, Lawrence Sinclair is a just a gay who hasn't committed a crime for over 20 years (his crimes were petty theft and nothing violent).

The Obama campaign will not address Mr. Sinclair's charges of drug use and adultery with him.

David Axelrod though did though put Lawrence Sinclair on a watch list by the Secret Service when Mr. Sinclair has not gone anywhere near Obama.
Sinclair though was at the Republican Convention protesting the Obama campaign and is a supporter of Gov. Sarah Palin.

Lawrence Sinclair made a watch list. Just how many people on Newsbusters are on "person's of interest" lists by the Barack Obama campaign?
I have had their operatives at Yahoo illegally going through my mail, an operative at Microsoft phishing for my information and my blog is being messed with from inside Google.

For some reason the right wing media remains silent in all of this, but what are they going to do when President Obama starts throwing them in prison. Mr. Bozell is going to get no support whatsoever from the press.

Maybe Newsbusters should be looking at who is on Obama's watch list of Americans, as it is certain terrorist Ayers, Middle East terrorists are not on any Obama watch lists.

Where do I sign up for this

Where do I sign up for this watch list, I demand to be on it! I want to be counted as someone whom Obama and his operatives believes to be a real threat to his political career.  I will be extremely disappointed if I'm not on it because it means I'm not effective enough.

Pelosi & her abortion stance

Seems the Archbishop wants to have a "conversation" with Her Speakerness on the topic of her misstatements about the Church's stance on abortion.

Any bets we'll never hear about the upshot of that conversation? 

David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive

 

Blonde, maybe The Pope will ex-communicate Peloser.

It could happen.  :-^)

Pop goes the weasel.

Where is the "Who's Online" display? I don't know who's here.

LOL-I mean, how are we supposed to track down our trolls?

-Dave.

Pop goes the weasel.

Dave!

It comes and goes... I was about to ask the same thing. It's annoying when it doesn't work. :(

Btw....

chat?

 

Obama... a total fraud. Palin... a total hottie.

 

Shy, why do we have two windows displaying the exact same ads?

LOL-Sure hope Matthew is getting a two-fer.

-I liked it better back when there were no ads here at all.

Too busy visually around here nowadays. Might just have to activate my trusty ad-blocker. Again.

-Dave.

Can't help you with that one. :p But NB does run duplicate ads sometimes, I know... the tall ones, one in each column.

I think the webmasters here have to figure it out with Google, who are often used for ad space real-estate, as they were for my Shy ads...

Btw, no one's in the chat room now, but check back in later... I PM'ed a bunch of people. :) 

 

Obama... a total fraud. Palin... a total hottie.

Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief.  Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.
