Did anyone see the hit piece on Obama on Fox news at nine last night? Disgusting. Especially disgusting when they had a repug shill like Lindsay Graham whining about bi-partisanship. Democrats- It’s time to put our foot down- no more moving to the right. Stand strong, win strong.
Did anyone seen Graham and THIS? http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/26/graham-reconciliation/
These people are ridiculous. Anyone who votes for Republican hypocrites and con men like this are completely devoid of reasonable thought processes.

I didn’t see that particular piece, but I am definitely noticing that the number and variety of attacks on Obama are really ramping up.
Silly Season is upon us.

It’s really not that silly:
* Barack’s entire record of state legislation that he touts now was done in his first year as a state senator, so that he could have some record when he wanted to run for higher office, immediately. But he lost a Congressional run in 2000 because he was like four years old.
* Then, in 2002, black Democrats took over the state legislature and were led by the powerful Majority Leader Emil Jones Jr. (“a gravel-voiced, dark-skinned African-American known for chain-smoking cigarettes on the Senate floor”). Since Jones was powerful and black, Barack — and this has been reported before — asked Jones to make him a U.S. Senator. “I’m gonna make me a U.S. Senator,” Jones said to a friend.
* Jones “appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.” And then Jones “further helped raise Obama’s profile by having him craft legislation addressing the day-to-day tragedies that dominated local news headlines.” What didn’t Jones do? Is Barack Obama just a hologram of this “Jones”?
* Then Obama ignored black community issues in his district, to avoid being the black candidate, which some Clintons still think he is. “Obama’s aloofness on key community issues for years frustrated Lucas and many other South Siders. Now they believe he was just afraid of making political enemies or being pigeonholed as a black candidate.”
* In 2004, the article’s author profiled Barack Obama and included many complaints from other black politicians in the state legislature, about Barack’s cheating record.
* Then, the climax: Obama YELLED AT THIS REPORTER ON THE PHONE, ANGRILY.
