Like certain academics at LGM — who seem to think the problem conservatives have with the Obama SuperPac ad depicting a wife’s death from the callous disregard of employees by the vulture capitalism of Bain Capital is that it is just so terribly effective, not, as is actually the case, that it is built on set of flat out lies and errors of omission.
So. Because a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on — and because that’s exactly what those who wish to replace things as they really are with a version of “truthiness” of their own concoction in order to correct the sadly non-progressive bent of reality — here:
And just to head of the inevitable leftist defense of Obama — this ad was put out by a SuperPac and the Obama campaign knows nothing much of it in terms of the specifics — uh, no.
Meaning SEK and the rest can just skip that and go straight to calling us RACISTS for noticing.
Which is the same as blaming the victim for inconveniencing the poor villain with a conviction. Or blaming you for impinging on someone’s sensitive feelings for enumerating their offenses and expecting redress and reform.
Which, then, defines leftism as a disorder, and conversely, its various hives as congregations of the disordered.
Which, in turn, calls out the folly of political tolerance and the lie of its presumed benefits.
…and Soptic needs to end his denial.
Ace has another catch on this which, while not conclusive, well…you make the call.
Oh, speaking of vultures, I (really don’t) wonder what SEK thinks of the fate of former Delphi employees and other hapless victims of Obama’s business acumen.
“Oh, wait! They told lies that I can repeat! Who needs reality?”
See? I already knew.
Pablo, maybe he just likes that shirt cause it brings out the bags under his eyes.
“Ad Pins Woman’s Death on Romney”
Big Deal. Obama killed the American Dream.
The Left is fundamentally a “shame” culture (like most Middle Eastern countries) instead of a “guilt” culture. When we point out their wrongdoing, we are responsible for their shame.
Don’t lie much do they.
Total victory, bitches! Is what a slew of taxpayer funded bankruptcies is. Thank God those laid off workers have Obamacare, amirite? Now they’ll never die!

Dude looks like some alien diplomat from Star Trek: Next Generation. Where’s Obama to remind us that the Prime Directive forbids campaigns from meddling in the affairs of SuperPACs?
The Golden Rule for proglodytes is, “Do unto others as the voices in your head tell you they would do to you if your back were turned.”
I thought he looked a bit like Bob Newhart.
I’m still unclear on why I should care what Squat Kweefman “thinks”.
But, frankly, I gave up listening to the left about the 5,000th time they informed me I was “racist” for opposing race-based preferences, and “greedy” for not wanting to steal other people’s hard-earned money.
Apparently, the explanation for this in the fevered swamps of the Left, is apparently that Soptic is actually a Romney plant, who told a false story to the DNC, in order to embarrass Obama.
I’m not sure whether to condemn the Republicans for their lack of morals or praise them for their evil genius.
Aside from knowing what your enemy is up to, you shouldn’t.
While I’m pleasantly surprised that CNN has been hitting this as hard as they have, they’ve completely overlooked another lie in the ad. Romney didn’t close the plant down, as he was not at Bain when it happened. Rather, Bain’s Managing Director at the time was Obama bundler Jonathan Levine.
I love Bob Newhart. Bob and Don Rickle’s are best buddies and travel the world together with their wives. I think that’s awesome.
Just in case anybody’s in the San Diego area this weekend, I’ll be working in this game, I get freebies and you’re all invited.

It’s on Sunday at 6:00PM local time.
Carry on all.
Donald, I’ve gotten emails promoting a bunch of sketchy stuff from your email address, which led me to think you’d been hacked. If your comment here means you’ve regained control of it, I’ll be happy to kill the spam trap I set up at my own email domain.
So, the parents of the dead wife in this story are friends of the family. Although I’ve never met the guy, what I’m told by people who are in a position to know is that Soptic is a dick.
Just for the record–because I know her parents and what kind of people they are/were–it was pretty clear from the beginning that there were shenanigans at play here, full stories being hidden, etc.
As if that wasn’t already clear considering the source…
Hey McGeehee,
Yeah, I had some problems with it. It was transmitted to anybody I had in my address book. I’ve eliminated the entire book which ended that.
I’ve sent out a lot of apologies on that, I just happened to open up a link one day, then BAM.
What’s listed there is the Perfect Game website showing the rosters, it’s not through my email at all.
I’d offer you a ride, but it’s a long way, so…
Excellent. Best of luck with the game.
The Obama gambit is a repeat. You betcha.
This is how you know you’ve lost the argument. But don’t tell Squat, it would ruin his day.
Get real, Pablo. Squat hasn’t ever lost an argument in his life!
And he’ll tell you so in 3500 words!
[…] search through her squares. If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this […]
It just gets better and better. Bain offered Soptic a buyout before the plant closed, which he declined. Then, when he got another job, he declined to purchase health insurance through it.*
Wait — I’d heard about the buyout offer, but not that Septic declined insurance from another job.
In the immortal words of Yakko Warner, “Dumber than advertised!”
Before the nomination was 100% locked up, I was eating at the Italian joint over on Rainbow Blvd. (a quarter mile from the Misery line for those unfamiliar with KC) and in the next booth a guy was telling his wife/gf how he couldn’t vote for Romney because of how his friend lost his job at GST. I bit my tongue and didn’t engage him, but I had a feeling this was the kind of attack we’d see.
Not a word about how those people would have lost their jobs years earlier had the buyout not happened.
Quoth Insty: “It is becoming clear that Obama is not only intellectually, but also morally unfit to hold the office of President.”
Cue: Iron Eyes Cody, squeezing out a solitary tiny tear for moronic America.
And too, about this Soptic fella, we see what an asshole he is and is perfectly willing to display of himself: are we to think his wife was unaware of who he is?
“Thank God those laid off workers have Obamacare, amirite? Now they’ll never die!”
Hmmm, generally speaking, I am not a thief – but I am really considering stealing this one.
It wants to be free, LTC John.
– “…..That asks the question; Is there anything too extreme for the Left? Can they possibly get any lower?
BBH — just an accident that they have him beating up white women, right?
“Thank God those laid off workers have Obamacare, amirite? Now they’ll never die!”
At least according to voter rolls…
– No one ever dies in the Democratic party. They just become more pliable participants.
If an ad showed Obama beating up white women, Ed Schultz’s head would explode, splattering the camera with blood and bits of cranium and brain.
So who wants to make that commercial?
“….and when you grab a Progressive by the toe…..Because really its only “fair” when they get what they want.”
– I don’t feel their pain, in fact its really quite enjoyable.Hopefully after November they’ll have years of pearl clutching to endure.
– They’ve earned it.
‘Romney Murdered JonBenét Ramsey,’ New Obama Campaign Ad Alleges
Where’d the brain come from? Out of his mouth?
– Obama’s camp channels Kerry:
– “We knew about that story, but that was before we didn’t know about it.”
– Apparently the lying and viciousness is getting so bad some are finally calling Jug ears out on his campaign “bullshit”.
Surely Mr. Buchanan can’t believe any such question matter to the Chicago thugs running this operation. Have they ever tried to unite the country? Have they ever cared about reaching across the aisle? Have they ever cared what regular Americans want?
The only question is how to remain in power, and how to extend that power as far as possible without inciting a rebellion. And I’m not sure they even care much about that last bit.
Obama: Let’s repeat auto industry success
– Meanwhile back at camp Rasmussen, where the natives are all pumping their armpits as fast as possible, the rubber Obama parrot just refuses to stay inflated:
Romnet 47%, Obama 43%.
Thus does the salvaged US auto industry roar back.
– More Obama supporters out there than you can shake a stick at.
– Or maybe not.
– Well, you knew it was bound to surface sooner or later. Force multiplying only works as lomh as you can keep all those balloon fences in the air at once.
utopia is near
Next from the EPA: Four-Gallon-Minimum Gas Purchases
A four gallon minimum purchase? That will work well. When I top off my bike I usually need less than two gallons and it only holds 3.2 gal. Guess I’ll just have to pump the rest into the trash bin, huh?
The candidates can point to the election law that says SuperPacs are independent all they want, but the voters aren’t lawyers. When they see a nasty attack ad they’re going to associate it with the candidate regardless. That makes this sort of nasty and demonstrably false attack ad doubly stupid, it makes the guy they’re supporting look like a liar.
Re: newrouter @ 3:56
Politico has “fixed” the story for O!.
Not the orifice that first springs to mind…..
I have a hard time getting riled over people that mistake the Onion for real news these days.
Faux is an idiot.
Findley Market is in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine. While much of the market’s stalls are boutique shops, the neighborhood is a malt-liquor environment. If she was in an Romney ad and The Won lost, well, does anyone doubt her store would be trashed?
Ahem.
That he is in fact a liar doesn’t exactly help.
On the other hand, he’s a Big Lying liar, so they got that going for them.
It doesn’t surprise me at all that SEK is pretending to blaze the fake but accurate trail, while pretending that trail has never yet been traveled.
It’s fake but totally archetypal of the healthcare debate.
Oh. The healthcare debate is strictly about fakeness, maybe. Go ahead; run with that.
First typing of the above accidentally had “run” as “ruin”, and I was sorely tempted to keep it that way.
Obama’s Mom’s fake story, now this one: so many “archetypal stories,” so little time.
Oh. And no real stories. But that’s just because, well…RACISTS!
