DNC scrambles to deflate Obama video before Daily Caller story published
2012-10-03
The Democratic National Committee -- armed with the help of dismissive tweets from a variety of journalists -- scrambled Tuesday night to attack The Daily Caller for its videos of President B.O.'s controversial race comments in 2007 before the story was even published.

Using comments from news hounds speculating on TheDC's report, the Democrats quickly worked to dismiss the story it hadn't seen yet -- which was teased Tuesday afternoon on Sean Hannity's radio show and on the Drudge Report -- by calling it "lame."

At about 7:30 p.m. ET, the DNC Rapid Response team sent an email to news hounds titled "That was Lame," listing "instant reaction to the latest lame Drudge/Hannity desperation tactics."

The email merely included tweets from journalists -- before the story was published -- expressing skepticism and disinterest and the mistaken claim that the video had been published before.

The tweets used by the Democratic National Committee came from news hounds at organizations including Politico, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, The New York Times

, New York Magazine and the Atlantic.

#9  Angiting Snore1647 is a bot: he's repeated the same comment in another thread, and probably a few others I haven't looked at.

#7   I have no idea how many of you people were around for Carter and the start of the fake war with finger dude from Afghanistan and the group that has been destroying our country from within for better part of 50 years give or take but my hats off to all of you! What better than to USE a black man in the White House to get the blacks all stirred up and minority against majority through using class warfare and race, itÂ’s been done everywhere BUTT nobody has ever used a black man and so many stupid ass white people before in all of history! The United States has no borders at all and who is killing agents minorities and illegals! These people donÂ’t care about money they donÂ’t even know how to make it, it is about control and power! All those stupid ass artists and the like only a matter of time, gays only a matter of time disabled only a matter of time! Food supply has been turned into a bio weapon why else do all of the countries troops need POWER drinks they never did before! It is the protein that is being compromised from plant to animal to human in the food chain taste difference was noticeable over 10 years ago in beef and meats rotting in less than a week in some cases!
What better than to groom a black man who is half white country club black man to undo the country and turn it upside down for a group of inbred white crackers with no souls and believe they have no souls watch them move and talk they canÂ’t even respond correctly in conversation in any job title! They always try to project and talk down and dissuade from the truth and obfuscate all facts and bend it to their sick end! The fact that so many people can be fooled by so few is pathetic at best remember give the people what they DESIRE and leading them all around by the nose takes no effort at all! The kindness and political correctness is nothing more than an artificial mask they create to meet their goals and end game they have no souls what so ever!
Serbia the only currency was quote HARD CURRENCY and they all demanded German currency for pay offs and trade from the beginning the bank money was not from guns and oil what country in Europe now has all the money? Some of the very people who fought in World War 2 back up the theory of what these people really are and how they have all been duped and fooled like birth defected children born 3 cans short of a six pack! Anyways kids remember MONEY TALKS AND TALK IS CHEAP take it for what it is but remember life is priceless you have ALL BEEN FUCKED FUCKED FUCKED AND RE-FUCKED LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! May you all find what it is you seek in your Alice In Wonder Land Fucked Up World and remember when it does hit the fan remember what you are fighting for the real War is In Country that would be The United States of America! DonÂ’t believe the LIE! PEACE!

#6  Over at Belmont Club, the commenters on his mirroring post on this topic are speculating that the MSM will call for Romney to repudiate the video, on grounds that it is degrading the campaign.

Romney should refuse: This is to 0bama what the 47% tape is to Romney. BOTH were released by outlets independent of the campaigns. BOTH are videos of the candidates. BOTH are being offered as "the true character of the candidate". BOTH have gaps. The problem for 0bama's crew is that they have no idea how BAD 0bama is in the gap and so would fear another "joe the plumber" moment if they callled for release of the full video. In contrast, while Romney may not really remember what he said at that fundraiser, he knew he would NEVER have uttered a "joe the plumber"-class boner, and thus had no problems calling for the full video to be released. Mother Jones blinked, while the Daily Caller would LOVE to have the full tape.

I'm arguing that Romney should say "Your media had a video on me, and media supporting me has a video on your candidate. I support Free Speech, even speech that YOU don't agree with or YOU find embarassing to YOURSELVES."

The 0bama video is what the left fears the most: A SYMMETRIC RESPONSE. Tit for Tat. Punch back when hit. Like their fellow losers, the palestinians, they NEED a playing field tilted toward them and referees in their pocket to hold their own and have a chance of winning. Deny them those advantages, and they go down squalling "It's not fair!"

H*ll, when asked to repudiate it, he should point out the gap and call for the release of the full tape "to see everything before I make a judgment." Measured, Reasonable, Presidential.

Mitt's response will determine where my "playmoney" from the next paycheck goes.

#5  Bet they are on maximum turbo-twist trying to spin the racist comments and faux accent after last night. I just wish every Dem could see it--just don't know how when they have a lock on all the media the left views.

#1  What is lame about seeing O's true character?

Remember this great man said "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Evidently the O has not taken to heart the meaning of these words nor their intent to unify a nation.
