McBush Would Rather Lose His Integrity Than Lose an Election

Priceless quote from the Obama campaign:

Today on "The View," John McCain defended his campaign's latest ad campaign, which has been debunked repeatedly as both false and sleazy. In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it's clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election.

I hope this isn't the end. Here's a suggestion for Obama: Use this in a TV ad!

PUMA = Rethuglicans

(Proudly cross-posted at Clark Community Network)

I know, I know. I probably shouldn't be talking about a sorry bunch of Rethuglican trolls... Except that they're now out to publicly smear Hillary Clinton's legacy and give Democrats a bad bname everywhere! These frauds must be exposed!

It's time for us to just say no deal to the PUMA liars once and for all!

I'm sure many of you have already seen this flaming pile of garbage...



And you're wondering just what the deal is with this person. And you may also be wondering why the "PUMA" crowd is cheering this new lie...



Well, here are the facts. First off, this supposed "martyr" Debra Bartoshevich has always been a McCain supporter. Despite her crocodile tears about being kickied out of the Democratic National Convention's Wisconsin Delegation because "she was a Hillary supporter", the truth is that she was removed because Democratic Party delegates do NOT support Republicans! She broke the rules, so the state Democratic Party replaced her with a true Hillary Clinton Democrat.

And now, Debra Bartoshevich is proving her Republican bona fides by lying in a national TV commercial for McCain. She refuses to mention McCain's embrace of all things Bush-Cheney. She doesn't mention how John McCain now stands for more wars, fewer protections for the middle class, more environmental destruction, fewer real energy solutions, more extreme-right judges "legislating from the bench", and fewer civil rights for all of us. Oh no, Ms. Bartoshevich refuses to tell the truth. She just lies for her beloved "Johnny Mac". And really, we're supposed to believe she's a Hillary Clinton Democrat?







Yeah, right!

Oh yes, and what about McCain's point about Barack Obama "snubbing" Hillary Clinton? Well, it simply isn't true! Don't believe me? Believe Hillary Clinton!

"Now, I understand that the McCain campaign is running ads trying to divide us," Clinton said. "And let me state what I think of those ads: I'm Hillary Clinton, and I do not approve that message."

"Let there be no mistake about it, We're united, and we're united for change. We are, after all, Democrats, so it may take (pause) a while. (Laughter). We're not the fall in line party. We're diverse. Many voices. But make no mistake, we are united. We are united on behalf of the Democratic Party values we hold dear."

Still don't believe me? Again, listen to Hillary.



I've said it before, and I'll say it again. "PUMA" is nothing more than a Rethuglican front group! They want to sow anger and division among us Democrats, just so that John McCain wins this fall and their beloved GOP can have at least four more years to destory this nation some more.

I've had it with their lies. I've had it with their attacks on Democrats. Before the corporate media slavishly laps up the "PUMA" falsehoods any more, it's time they hear from us on what the truth really is.

During the Democratic Convention this week, we'll finally see the party unite to win this fall. Hillary Clinton will speak once more in support of Barack Obama. Barack Obama will show his support for what Hillary Clinton and all of her voters support. And once and for all, this false meme of "Democrats in disarray" can finally be disproven.

As a Hillary Clinton Democrat myself, I've had it with Rethuglican tools like Debra Bartoshevich, Darragh Murphy, Will Bower, the Alegre's Corner pack of turncoats, and Riverdaughter's den of liars. I've had it with the "PUMA" faux-movement, and I'm speaking up now to expose them for what they are!

Truth Fights Back

Terrific! Here's another great weapon we can use to fight back against the right-wing smears against Democrats. We can thank John Kerry & his team for this one. Kerry knows what it's like to be "swift boated", so I'm glad to see him do this.

So anyways, please check out Truth Fights Back to see the GOP's rumors, myths, & outright lies debunked.

Now Showing at Yes to Democracy...

Check out my new diary on the new lows of "PUMA" hypocrisy. Jeez, those GOP trolls never cease to amaze me! They're now going after our patriotism!

Have you ever heard a "PUMA" talk about "putting country before party"? Well, that's a big crock of crap coming from them! If "PUMAs" love America so much, why are they so willing to risk our nation's future by allowing John McBush & the GOP four more years to cause more damage?

So anyways, check out my new rant at Yes to Democracy. Hopefully, anyone even considering going "PUMA" will consider what I & others here have said. As Hillary Clinton has said herself, there's just too much at stake to give the Bush-Cheney GOP cronies (including John McBush!) four more years to continue hurting America.

More Facts for Friday

If you've seen the latest McBush scare tactics, don't believe them! Here are the facts:

"Swift Boat" Attacks Unfit for Publication

FYI, this is HUGE. Democrats are saying no more to right-wing "swift boating". See below why these new attacks are simply unfit for publication.

C4O Reader --

Yesterday, you learned about the right-wing's latest attack: extremist Jerome Corsi and his book of the same old smears and lies.

Today, you can take the next step.

Tackle this smear campaign head on. The Obama research team released a 41-page rebuttal called "Unfit for Publication," refuting Corsi's rehashed distortions point-by-point, leaving no smear unanswered.

Arm yourself with the facts and write a letter to your local newspapers telling them to do their job by debunking this kind of garbage. The media are not playing their role as watchdogs. In fact, they are fanning the flames of controversy and legitimizing a discredited political bottom-feeder.

Take action now and tell the media to report the truth, not debunked lies and smears that are unfit for publication.

The right-wing smear machine is in full force -- blasting out Corsi's stale fabrications far and wide to a media that's so far been eager to pick them up. In just three days, Corsi's made front page news in both the New York Times and Washington Post.

We've posted the full truth online so you have the tools to fight back in your community and local papers.

Can you write a letter to the editor exposing Jerome Corsi and his book for what they really are -- another hack job by a desperate right-wing fabricator?

In 2004, Corsi helped launch the Swift Boat smear campaign with a book of distortions and lies he wrote about John Kerry. This time we won't be Swift Boated.

Keep up the good fight,

ACTION ALERT: Tell MSNBC to Tell the Truth About "PUMA"

I've been told by a friend that the infamous Will Bower will be on MSNBC's "Hardball" tonight to discuss the "PUMA movement". While "PUMA" claims to be a group of "Hillary Clinton supporters fighting for democracy", we've pointed out repeatedly their real motives of aiding & abetting John McCain & the GOP agenda. Yet for some reason, the corporate media continues to allow "PUMA" a national podium to spread their lies.

We need to speak up. We need to let the corporate media know that neither Hillary Clinton nor we Hillary Clinton Democrats stand with "PUMA" in their scurrilous attempts to smear & trash Barack Obama. We need to tell the media that "PUMA" does NOT speak for us!

Please send an email to hardball@msnbc.com & urge them to tell the whole story about Hillary Clinton Democrats!

With every lie "PUMA" people tell about Hillary Clinton implicitly supporting John McCain or Barack Obama not being "a real American" or the media not being "fair" in only giving them 15 minutes of infamy instead of 45, they slander Hillary & trash her reputation. With every ugly, low-blow attack they toss at our Democratic Party, they attack all of us. They claim to be speaking in our names, and it's time we stop their lies & tell the truth!

Please email hardball@msnbc.com & ask them to ask the tough questions about "PUMA" and consider inviting someone like our friend Christina from yestodemocracy.org to debunk the "PUMA" smears. There's no time to waste. We can't let "PUMA" stand unchallenged, so please email hardball@msnbc.com & ask them to tell the real story on the "PUMA" con-artists.

Thanks.

The "Swift Boat" Mudslingers Are Back

Are you as sick & tired of right-wing lies & smears as I am? If so, watch out! The same liars who spread untrue smears against John Kerry are back... And they're out to spread the ugliest lies about Barack Obama.

Please check out this urgent message from DNC Chairman Howard Dean... And please take action to stop the lies!

C4O Reader --

This morning our team here sent this email to a group of dedicated supporters, but I'm sending it to everyone I know.

In 2004, the media let right-wing crackpots like Jerome Corsi spread lies about John Kerry. Now Corsi is publishing another hit piece attacking Barack Obama.

This year I'm drawing the line -- we're not going to let Corsi and the Republicans get away with it again.

Go here to check out Corsi's track record of ideologically driven lies and conspiracy theories, then sign up for the DNC Rapid Response Team and help keep these dirty tricks from ruining another election.

I hope you'll forward this to everyone you know, too.

Thanks,

Howard Dean
