Why Do Conservatives Hate Americans? Part 3

Repuglican Representative Hayes is a coward. This past weekend in front of a McCain Mob he was all tough as he declared that liberals HATE real Americans, yet when confronted about this statement by the press and the liberal blogosphere, does he have the courage to back his words?

No the lying coward tries to deny it. He lies and says he never said any such thing. Yeah, too bad it was caught on tape, you liar. Have you ever heard of a recording device? I hope Jon Stewart picks this one up, and skewers Liar Hayes. Just so people remember, the exact quote was "Folks, there's a real America, and liberals hate real Americans that work, and accomplish, and achieve, and believe in God."

Crazy Rightwing Bachmann Denies She Ever Called Obama ‘Anti-American’»

I blogged a post last Friday after right-wing nutjob Representative Michele Bachmann appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball (see my post here) where she called for a McCarthy like investigation into the “anti-American views” of members of Congress. This of course ignited the Liberal Bloggasphere and Bachmann has come under a withering storm of criticism. Her opponent — Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg — has raised over $640,000 since Bachmann’s nutty comments.

Yesterday morning, Representative Bachmann tried to undo the damage she had done to her self. Appearing on the CBS affiliate in Minneapolis, St. Paul, WCCO, Bachmann denied she ever called Barack Obama’s views “anti-American.”

HOST: You do feel his [Obama’s] views are anti-American?

BACHMANN: I feel his views are concerning. I’m calling on the media to investigate them. I’m not saying that his views are anti-American. That was a misreading of what I said. And so I don’t believe that’s my position. I’m calling on the media to
take a look at what his views are.

This of course is a comple and utter lie, noteful only in how bold a lie it is. Here’s what Michele Bachmann actually said during her Hardball interview:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: So you believe that Barack Obama may have anti-American views?

BACHMANN: Absolutely. I’m very concerned he may have anti-American views.

Also in her Hardball appearance, Michelle Bachmann said:

“The news media should do a penetrating exposé [into the] views of the people in Congress and find out if they’re pro-America or anti-America.”

Campaign Suspended?

I just heard about 5 minutes of CNN on a break room TV, and in that time I heard Wolf Blitzer again and again say that the McCain campaign had been suspended. But what does that mean?

Just this morning, in New York, John McCain was pretty straightforward about his perspective on the campaign: "I cannot carry on a campaign as though this dangerous situation had not occurred, or as though a solution were at hand, which it clearly is not. As of this morning I suspended my political campaign."

Yet his suspended campaign looks pretty much like his active campaign.

* McCain campaign offices in battleground states are open and operating, just like yesterday.
* McCain's television ads are on the air, just like yesterday.
* McCain media flacks are all over the news networks, just like yesterday.
* McCain's campaign staffers are working, just like yesterday.
* McCain's campaign website is up, soliciting contributions and promoting McCain's message, just like yesterday.
* For the big White House meeting today, Barack Obama was told not to bring any campaign aides, so he brought a legislative assistant from his Senate staff. John McCain was seen bringing a campaign advisor.

Nothing has actually changed at McCain Campaign HQ. Just one more bit of proof that McCain is no longer the honorable maverick he once claimed to be.

Count the Lies

The DNC's New McCain Lie Counter is here.

Though I wish they had created an actual counter that I could embed on this site, the Democratic National Committee will count and chronicle the lies of John McCain on the McCainPedia's "Count the Lies" page.

Currently the DNC has 52 lies that John McCain and his campaign have told the American public over the last few months. To date, independent, nonpartisan fact checkers have published more than 50 fact checks debunking John McCain's lies and distortions.

Check out the site and see what you think.
