Keeping Up

Ok, so I missed a day... so let's get to it! I've been busy following this, stirring the pot and commenting and emailing wherever I can.

In a previous post Beyond Repudiation, I discussed the smear campaign in Pennsylvania targeting the Jewish vote with an email linking a vote to Obama to the Holocaust. I filed an action request with the Anti-Defamation League and got a direct email response. I hope I was one of thousands that asked for action. In any case, their response was appreciated. The Press Release has helped raise some additional media attention. Sadly, it seems that CNN has not seen fit to PRINT a single word on this whole mess. NOTHING!! I sent the tip to them, suggested the story to them, then sent a message to AC360's Keeping Them Honest, blasting their producers for ignoring it. Since, I've heard Lou Dobbs mention it, and one other reference to liberal bloggers, but no call beyond my own for action on the part of the McCain campaign to repudiate it's signatory, who is still on his national staff. I guess it would be too much to expect of the McCain campaign anyway. At least there is this:

And then there is this story that went out on the AP: Ex-PA judge - Sorry

It's getting picked up by AP affiliates all over...
CNN - they had their chance. I think they've lost their edge.

Sen. Lieberman - Speaks at RNC? - Huh?

OK,
So we all know that Senator Joe Lieberman is a Democratic 'traitor', but he must now be suffering from more than mild Alzheimer's.

He actually came out and spoke in support of Sarah Palin.. yet
she stands against pretty much every thing that Joe Lieberman has voted for!

Hey Joe, have you forgotten your entire voting record? Have you forgotten every old campaign speech you ever gave?

I won't go into the rest of the lies he spoke from the RNC podium; there's plenty to read on CNN about that here.

I feel sorry for him... if anyone thought that he had any credibility, surely he has none now.

How obvious can he be, pandering himself to the Republicans and his new best war-mongering friend John McCain in hopes of gaining a position in a Republican administration. I have to say, he is right about one thing; he'll never stand a chance of gaining a position in a Democratic administration. He killed any chance of that with his political missteps long ago.
