Conservative PAC Holds Press Conference, Accuses Obama of Everything Ever

stop_obama_tour.jpg

Earlier today, the Our Country Deserves Better PAC concluded its nationwide "Stop Obama" tour with a press conference at the National Press Club in downtown Washington DC. The speakers — who included a conservative talk radio host, a Marine mom, and the singer of a Sarah Palin tribute song entitled "Sarah Smile" — and their supporters gave voice to all of the paranoias that have come to grip the conservative base in the closing days of the campaign. Obama is an authoritarian thug who will deny First Amendment rights if he is made president; he attacks anyone who speaks against him; he will put the country at risk of terrorist attack; he will make America a socialist state; he wants to give American money to Africa; he himself may be foreign-born.

Herewith, a collection of all the things of which Barack Obama stood accused:

- He doesn't understand that inalienable rights granted by God are what make America great. America is a shining* city on a hill and "there are those around Barack Obama who would extinguish those lights."

- He and his supporters "vilify" anyone who questions him.

- He "mocked" and "laughed at" Joe the Plumber at a recent rally because Joe thought he could make $250,000 despite being a plumber.

- He is having talk show hosts who speak out against him "slaughtered," by having Obama-friendly advertisers pull their contracts.

- He very likely will take away dissenters' right to free speech if elected president, keeping them from publishing their views in the newspaper or from voicing them on television and radio. This is in part due to the "storm troopers around him."

- He benefits from the fact that voters who oppose him are hesitant to declare their feelings publicly, for "fear of being attacked at their place of work, or in their homes, or their children being retaliated against in school."

- He will try to "extinguish" our freedom of speech. Reporters who question Obama and Biden are already being "silenced."

- He hasn't come clean about his birth certificate or the country of his birth. While the speakers said they did not want to put on their "tin foil hat" and speculate about the nation of Obama's birth, one said he would give only "even money" that Obama was born in the United States.

- He would probably have trouble passing the tests required to become an FBI agent. His associations make him unfit for office.

- He wants to use the Global Poverty Act to give $800 billion of US taxpayers' money to poor countries, "mostly Africa."

- He does not understand the plight of military families. Unlike John McCain and Sarah Palin, he does not have a son serving in Iraq.

- He had the opportunity to join the military during the first Gulf War. Instead "he went to the University of Phoenix to write books about himself."

- He is supported by leftist leaders in South America, Muammar Quaddafi, and the "maniac from Iran."

- He has "crazy ideas, dangerous ideas in dealing with those who would like to lop our heads off."

- He continues to ignore the fact that we did find WMDs in Iraq. In fact, 500 tons of WMDS were transferred out of Iraq this year.

- He has no record from the Illinois State Senate. He has no record from the federal Senate. He never introduced major legislation "probably because he is too busy writing books about his life and convincing us he should be president."

- He is the most liberal Senator in the US Senate.

- He "breathes air and fluff and words."

- He is at most qualified for middle management. Yet he as the "audacity to hope" we will make him president of the United States.

- His vice presidential pick is like "training wheels on a tricycle."

- His presidency "will change America as know it and love it, and not in a good way."

- He would create an America characterized by "socialism and servitude."

- He seeks to deny the American dream through wealth distribution.

- He is part of a "repo team" with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

- He cannot talk about the needs of small business owners. He has never run a small business.

- He has the middle class "in his sights."

- He comes out of the Chicago Democratic machine, which spells politics M-O-B.

- He benefits from a biased liberal media. The LA Times, the NY Times, and the Washington Post are "organs of the Obama campaign."

- He doesn't finish what he starts. He began as a lecturer at the University of Chicago, but didn't become a full professor. He was a lawyer, but never became a partner.

- He "believes he is entitled to the president of the United States."

I am deeply saddened that so many Americans feel that they can vote for a man who supports this.

So these people think that Sen. Obama has some kind of magical super powers that will enable him to do all of these things? Damn! I sure want to be on his side when he's president!

Jonathan, you elitists just can't handle the truth!

What is there left to say to those without ears to hear?
It's time to vote...for OBAMA!

Wow! And I thought that Obama was just the anti-Christ. I didn;t know that he was this bad. I'm voting for McCain. Even thought he never owned a small business, even though he has the worst voting record in the Senate, even thought he supports Joe the Plumber (who is a total dumb ass) and even though he REALLy has "storm troopers around him."

I love it when they get desperate. It makes them so pathetic. Boo hoo. Cry you little bitch!

remember when the whole "anybody but bush" vibe permeated the 2004 election, but failed because -- among other reasons -- "anybody" isn't really a viable candidate. interesting to see republicans adopting the same losing strategy. at this point, they don't support mccain, they just oppose obama.

You got it almost right... but, America is not "a city on the hill", America is the "Shining" City on the Hill. Ronald Reagan coined it, wouldn't expect you to fact check, but thank you for the ink!

Mark Williams -- if you're such a f***ing genius why can't you avoid double-posting?

It must be hard trying to be a Rush/Hannity/O'Reilly clone.

Actually, I take that back. It's not hard at all. Start by saying Hussein every two minutes. Take a few phone calls from unemployed racists. Call Obama a marxist, a communist, interview (and by interview I mean give a handjob to) drama queen Joe the Liar and maybe one of the Republican perverts in the House or Senate and it's a wrap.

Next time you wander over here try putting on your big boy pants and find something substantive to say supporting your candidate instead of just denigrating your opponent. I realize that's almost impossible to do so I don't expect you to drop by again unless you (again) are just trying to grab a little reflected glory by associating yourself with Mother Jones.

Our point exactly! Wow, you got it Jon Boy! I couldn't have put a better bow on our talking points myself. You are the firsts Moon Bat to actually report what we have been saying rather than making stuff up.

Hi Mark, thanks for dropping by. You're absolutely right, I screwed up -- that quote should read "shining city on a hill." I'll fix now.

Pitiful indeed , the McWar express, grasping at straws. For some under- publicized but all to "real" nasty info on McCain , see: http://www.cain2008.org

McCain dirty little secret.
