MUST SEE: Senior Obama Campaign Advisor Robert Gibbs Refuses to Condemn Ad Calling Romney Murderer

By: Ben Howe (Diary)  |  August 8th, 2012 at 08:39 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Let me warn you up front that this is a 9 minute video. Let me further warn you that it is from this morning’s edition of Morning Joe on MSNBC. But let me urge you to watch anyway so you can see the depths with which the Obama campaign is unwilling to condemn something as blatantly outrageous as accusing Mitt Romney of being responsible for the death of a cancer victim.


My favorite part? When Gibbs was presented with the hypothetical that an ad was over the line by his own standards, he still declined to condemn it. He declined to condemn an ad that didn’t exist! That’s spin folks.

    listento Gabb’s tortured logic a 2nd time.
    There is no question that Obama’s people are desperate and will do anything to make Romney the issue. Soon they will accuse him of being a member of a racist church. The worse their prospects become the lower they will go.
    Romney needs to take the gloves off

      If the Obama campaign is this desperate now, it seems to me that it means that Romney has been more effective than they anticipated. If I were the Romney campaign, I would simply continue what I was doing already, and let them get more desperate by the day.

      I’m not in the Romney camp, and I personally would like to see Obama and his corrupt snake’s nest exposed. But I find it difficult to fault the logic that says “Romney is doing fine already, and should change nothing.”

        As bad as this economy is, and as unpopular are so many of the Obama administration’s policies, Romney should be up by a lot more than he is now. It’s not enough that he’s up by a tick or two. This election should end in a landslide for Romney, and although of course I’ll settle for a Romney squeaker victory when all of the votes are counted, it’s time to start separating himself from Obama.

    in trouble for hitting their sibling. don’t go on the air if that’s all you got. Joe’s comparison of him was pretty apt in my opinion. At the end it even got worse with Gibbs basically saying “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil).

    If ever anyone must be convinced that the greatest commodity in the eyes of many is political power, this lying TV ad, and all the others endured over time, serve as damning proof.

    There is no mistake or miscalculation in the carefully created narrative that Mitt Romney killed a man’s wife. Desperation and morale vacancy.

    We shouldn’t even have to give passing thoughts to these liars.

    Do you think they would be running this kind of gutter attack if they had internal polls showing them up in all the swing states like we recently heard from CBS/NYT? Increasingly, I am believing people like Wayne Allyn Root who are predicting a Romney landslide. Because the Obama campaign is certainly acting as if their only chance of winning is to disqualify Romney.

    I think Romney is boring but I don’t think he has any big scandal in his background that this tactic is going to work. It ends up just making the whole Obama team, including the Preezy of the United Steezy, look like a bunch of political hatchet men and hacks. My $.02.

      What do you mean “making the whole Obama team, including the Preezy of the United Steezy, look like a bunch of political hatchet men and hacks”?

      They ARE political hatchet men and hacks.

      They are showing their true in-the-gutter they-bring-a-knife-we-bring-a-gun colors. They are NOT nice people. They are willing to destroy people to win. This is the Clinton teams politics of personal destruction on steroids. This is Alinsky taken to the max.

      And every Obama flak that is falling in line to approve of this has now lowered their standards to the sewer level.

      The LACK OF HONOR shown should be punished by the voters.

      • Common_Cents

        They are grown adults acting like young kids.

        The media has stooped so low to allow this and are full-on lefty propagandists.

        It is war.

        I hope Republicans wake up to this someday.

        You cannot have a rational conversation with irrational, slimy, liars.

        • tnfriendofcoal101368

          How do you deny “sits around plotting the cancer death of steelworker’s wives”. A charge so disgusting, Wolf Blitzer couldn’t stomach trying to sell it.

        • lineholder

          If the lie is a means whereby they can further their agenda, then they’ll lie.

          If putting the “boot on the throat” of America’s business owners via excessive regulatory measures will allow them to generate the kind of situation where it increases unemployment and dependency on government, then off into totalitarian, dictatorial, over-reach-of-government regulatory madness they will go.

          They really don’t care about human beings as individuals. Anything pertaining to the individual that could remotely be an obstacle to their agenda has to be destroyed (individual freedom and liberty, particularly religious freedom and liberty, being good examples of such)

          But I they’re underestimating the American people. Most Americans do have a strong vein of common decency that encourages honesty as a moral imperative (Some more than others, granted, but it exists all the same)

          People don’t like being fed lies over and over again, and then finding themselves deceived after the fact. It leaves a bitter taste in their mouth and generates a high level of distrust.

          I think we’re much closer to seeing the American people respond with a major “gag reflex” response to the constant and repetitive lies of the left than Liberals might want to acknowledge the truth of.

          As to some of our elected Repubs, particularly the “old guard” who have been in there for a while…a lot of them have been beaten down into a state of submissiveness to the Dems over time. Some of these are in positions of leadership. And we badly need “new blood” in there who will stand up to the left.

        Annihilated!! Eradicated and tossed into the ash heap. I feel it in my bones. Landslide! Earthquake. Tsunami. Call it what you will, patriots are awake, angry, fed-up and engaged.

        • emptybucket

          heh, heh…there are moments we feel the same why you do but then we’ll turn on the dish tv news shows and with the exception of Foxnews hear all about how far behind Romney is. How great Obama is doing, etc.

          This is an emotional election coming up…the Libs are going to go vote again based on a person’s speaking ability and skin color. If the Republicans don’t go out to vote in HUGE numbers, Obama will win.

          As an aside, I never figured out why folks think Obama is such a eloquent speaker? From the get go he has inserted so many ahs, ehs, uhs, ers, etc. while he talks that we wonder if he is able to say more than 5 words at a time!

  • prof_jay

    Was I the only one that watched the clip and wished we had a better representative for our side. I kept wishing, futiley I know, that Steele would just stand up and say that Romney’s add was accurate and that the Obama add was completely misleading. Wouldn’t it have been great if he tied it to Obama’s previous lie that his mother died of cancer because the insurance company wouldn’t pay for treatment.

    • funwithknives

      even walk in the Front Door of an NBC building?
      Even in a Bio-Hazard suit you just might catch something virulent

      Steele does it, ’cause no one else is buying what he’s selling.
      Buchanan’s on Fox. He was just not ‘makin’ it happen’ at MSNBC, and how telling was that ?
      Steele proved himself to be a Fence-Straddler,an embezzler, and just is not credible. Who else uses him?

      ‘Nuff said.

  • califgal

    It works with 1)some likely voters because those voters are simply dullards and 2) it works to move the polls because a lot of unlikely voters are in those samples; polls, as we know, create realities.

    The way to fight back with all these specious attacks is to create a Romney response team/ad team that does NOTHING but push the Chicago Politics theme, all the way from educating the public about how Chicago Obama used the dirty tactic of leaking divorce papers against his Illinois Senate opponent to Chicago Rahm ….Chicago Politics, Chicago Politics, Chicago Politics invading the White House, Chicago Politics in the Oval, Chicago thugs posing as decent upstanding leaders, over and over and over.

    Everyone knows what Chicago Politics means. The city’s ties to Capone, to bully Daley, to the thuggery in all things political MUST be mentioned anytime Obama’s name is mentioned. I can’t believe that any opponent doesn’t tie this guy to all we know about Chicago: find a guy with a good smile, put him in a suit, have him do what his puppetmasters tell him, and send him out there.

    The second strategy that MUST be used in almost all ads is to show Nancy and Harry over and over and over–preferably with Barry. I know dems who have negative visceral responses to Nan and Harry and I have to believe the country can’t stand them either.

    AFter all, the country HATES Congress so why let the Dems and Barry blame Congress for Barry’s failures. Put Nan’s face and Harry’s face all over the place–with Obama.

    Ask: Do you want this Triumvirate to lead the country again? These people who pushed through a 2700+ takeover of your medical coverage? These people who inserted themselves into your relationship with your doctor? These people who are destroying the economic security of your life and the lives of your kids and grandkids? These people who wouldn’t even sit down and talk with Paul Ryan or or Mitch McConnell about a law that would climb into every private inch of your life? Every private INCH OF YOUR LIFE?

    Chicago Politics and the Triumvirate….these are what he has to use to combat the crap they are throwing at him. As long as the media provides cover for Obama and his dirty tactics we won’t be able to ONLY talk of issues–we must attack back and the attack has to be on the basic dishonesty of Barack Obama and his band of Chicago thugs and on his two right hand henchmen, Ugly Nan and Harry.

    • lionelpeach

      so what’s Romney waiting for?

  • noveldog9

    Shock: Gibbs refuses to condemn lies referring to Romney as a murderer. So who is surprised? The whole motley crew that Obama has assembled around himself are as much like their leader as possible. Like Lucifer who is the father of all liars the truth is not in them.

    What more is there to say? Anyone who seriously listens to them has to be mentally retarded. They are like zombies and are mere puppets who have been enslaved by Satan’s lies and deceit.

    The bottom line is we are in BIG TROUBLE! When the average citizen believes habitual liars like this they win and you lose. Only and act of God of great earth shaking magnitude will unearth them from their stupor. Start praying and don’t stop because this is going to be a close one!
