How to translate Obama-speak: an essential giude
Advertisements [?]
http://www.bartcop.com/

Excerpt:
Claim:
In December and early January – Hillary’s panicked supporters played nearly every card
in their political deck to salvage the dream of putting a second Clinton in the White House.

Fact:
It's called, "fighting back," and it's something all Democrats should try at least once.
Claim:
Sen. Clinton and her feminist backers appealed to women to get behind one of their own;

Fact:
Just to be clear - it's wrong when women do it but it's perfectly fine when Blacks do it.

Claim:
Clinton operatives insinuated that Obama’s youthful drug use would make him unelectable;

Fact:
They stated a fact: Use of illegal drugs can haunt a politician and Obama has admitted to
cocaine use 'back in the day,' something no other presidential candidate has ever done.

Claim:
and Bill pulled a page from Karl Rove’s playbook in attacking Obama
on a perceived strength, his early opposition to the Iraq War.

Fact:
A. How many times are you going to make that same charge?
B. When did it become "Rovian" to fight back?
C. Is Robert Parry going to give us his Nancy Grace Guarantee that Obama's
"early opposition" to Bush's war was consistent, vigorous and constant?

Claim:
Central to this Clinton comeback was a readiness to do whatever was necessary,
from seeking sympathy to sliming an opponent.

Fact:
There you go again - reading Hillary's mind and then tattling on her inner-most thoughts.
If you had gone to Vegas the first time you claimed you could read minds, you would be a
millionaire by now, yet that trip remains unrealized and I have to wonder why.

How dare you make a wild assumption and then elevate that wild assumption to a fact.
