Here’s the audio of Obama endorsing Infanticide from the floor of the Illinois Senate
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 09:07 PM |
This is on YouTube. It’s his voice. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of it, but I trust the friend who sent it to me. In the audio, Obama raises a new argument against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that he has not raised in public during the present discussion. The description of the YouTube clip sums it up: In this audio Obama coldly | Read More »
Captain Bulls*** Strikes Again
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 05:08 PM |
Obama won’t accept PAC money. Using campaign appearances, e-mails to supporters, and Iowa TV ads, Illinois Senator Barack Obama has repeatedly reminded voters that his presidential campaign does not accept contributions from lobbyists or political action committees, casting his decision as a noble departure from the ways of Washington. Obama, you see, is pure as the driven snow [Ed. — Begin the countdown until some | Read More »
A Point Well Made on Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 02:07 PM |
A caller to Rush Limbaugh’s show made a great point well. It’s one I have not heard made as well. Let’s go back to Saddleback. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that Obama via Andrea Mitchell is telling the truth: John McCain had advanced knowledge of the questions (yeah, yeah, I know it is not true, but let’s pretend it is. Let’s humor Barry). Okay, so | Read More »
Ben Smith of Politico Admits Obama Supported Infanticide
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 12:52 PM |
It’s great that members of the mainstream media are now getting in on the act and admitting that Obama did support infanticide in the Illinois State Senate. Check out Ben’s post here. What? Don’t see the admission from Ben that Obama did support infanticide? Go read it again. That Smith is slinging Obama’s mud against Jill Stanek is proof positive and a total admission that | Read More »
Embracing the Axis of Evil: An Obama Adviser Goes To Syria and Comes Home Unsure if He Was Used
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 10:51 AM |
Obama has previously said he would unconditionally meet with the presidents of Syria and Iran. Now one of his advisors has gone to Syria to offer some advice to Syria’s leaders. Daniel Kurtzer, one of Obama’s many, many foreign policy advisers, went to Syria and met with Syria’s Foreign Minister, Walid al-Moallem. Kurtzer and the Obama campaign say this was unrelated to the campaign. There | Read More »
The Vice Presidential Nominee
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 10:14 AM |
I’m going to call it. Barack Obama’s Vice Presidential nominee will be Tim Kaine, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. I’m perfectly open to being wrong, but I do not think I am. Both Obama and McCain really need someone with executive experience. That rules out Joe Biden, who was raised by the wolves in the Senate. That leaves Evan Bayh, Tim Kaine, and wild | Read More »
BREAKING NEWS: Obama campaign caught lying about free tickets to convention speech.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 09:11 AM |
Channel 4 News in Denver, CO is reporting that the Obama campaign has been lying about tickets to the Obama speech at Invesco Field in Denver, CO. Reporters discovered a hidden link on the Obama website targeted to known high dollar donors. The Obama campaign solicited those donors for $1000.00 in exchange for tickets to the event. This is directly contrary to what Obama’s campaign | Read More »
First Obama Accused McCain of Racism. Now Obama Accuses McCain of Questioning Obama’s Patriotism
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 20th at 08:56 AM |
We’ve hypothesized all along that Obama cannot take a punch. We’ve had evidence all along that this is the case. Now, let’s go on and call it proof positive. First, Obama has had to use distorted McCain quotes in attack ads designed to scare voters about McCain’s economic policies. It’s no wonder considering polls now show McCain running ahead of Obama on the economy. Second, | Read More »
McCain’s Pro-Abortion Running Mate
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 10:32 PM |
It is just too damn coincidental that McCain kicked Obama’s butt all over Saddleback Community Church on Saturday night and now all of a sudden the media is filled with stories about McCain eyeing a pro-abortion running mate. It’s as if someone wants to undermine every gain McCain made on Saturday in a way the “McCain cheated” meme failed to do. What say you? Where | Read More »
The Battered Spouses of the Left
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 09:34 PM |
Our side expects McCain to name a pro-life Vice President. He will. The left expects Obama to obstruct FISA. He folds like a cheap suit. The left sends him more money. Our side expects McCain to change his mind on domestic oil production. He does. The left expects Obama to continue his obstruction of offshore drilling. Obama caves on the issue. The left sends him | Read More »
The Annenberg Records Will Show Obama’s Connection With Bill Ayers Was Direct and Substantive
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 09:02 PM |
If you haven’t paid attention to the coverup related to the Annenberg Challenge on Excellence in Education, you need to catch up. This is a ticking time bomb for the Obama campaign. They are doing their best, through proxies, to stop the release of the Annenberg records from the University of Illinois Chicago (“UIC”). Why? Because as Rick Moran points out the release of the | Read More »
David Brody Thinks I’m Shrill. I Think Brody Is Letting Perceptions About Objectivity Get in the Way of Facts
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 06:40 PM |
David Brody gets good access to Barack Obama. Obama, after all, is making superficial outreach efforts to the evangelical community (probably not for much longer). As a consequence of this access, Brody has every reason to play it straight, even to the point of being unwilling to connect the dots himself regarding Obama’s support of infanticide, dots that are abundantly obvious. By not doing so, | Read More »
Barack Obama Finally Admits He Supports Infanticide
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 19th at 11:00 AM |
Barack Obama has finally admitted he did support infanticide in the Illinois State Legislature. Naturally, he won’t phrase it that way and naturally the media won’t cover it, but in fact, he has now admitted he supported infanticide. I have my weekly “RedState Under the Radar” column up at Human Events examining this topic. The column is based on the work we’ve done here at | Read More »
Obama Campaign Admits He Lied When He Called National Right To Life Liars
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 18th at 12:27 PM |
Yesterday, Soren noted that Barack Obama called the National Right to Life Committee liars. NRLC, if you will recall, noted that the Chicago Tribune quoted Barack Obama’s explanation of his vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act on October 4, 2004. The Tribune wrote Obama said that had he been in the U.S. Senate two years ago, he would have voted for the Born-Alive | Read More »
How do we know John McCain Did Best at Saddleback? The Media is Pushing the “McCain Cheated” Theory for Obama
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 18th at 10:09 AM |
“McCain did well because he understands the issues close to the hearts of the people at Saddleback. Obama did poorly because he does not understand those issues and only built up the ‘I’m a man of faith’ narrative to hide that fact.” Remember back in 2004 when George Bush trounced John Kerry in the debates? The left saw a funny shape under Bush’s jacket and | Read More »
Rick Warren Sells Out to the Pro-Abortion & Anti-Israel Crowd This Weekend
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 15th at 07:39 AM |
As John McCain and Barack Obama head out to Saddleback to sit down with Rick Warren and avoid tough questions about Obama’s support for infanticide (yes, yes does support it, but Warren won’t be filled with enough of the Spirit to ask him about it), the Chicago Tribune is breaking news today with an exclusive about John McCain. Sen. John McCain, who is known for | Read More »
Obama’s America to the tune of “American Idiot.”

The AP Pimps the Obama & Russian Talking Point With Democrats As Objective Observers
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 13th at 04:36 PM |
This is so typical. John McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser and his business partner lobbied the senator or his staff on 49 occasions in a 3 1/2-year span while being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the government of the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Yes, it is the same talking point Obama and the Russians have been using all week. This time they | Read More »
Alan Colmes needs some help clearing up his misunderstanding on Barack Obama’s support of infanticide
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 13th at 11:34 AM |
Barack Obama supports infanticide. This is not subject to debate and is an accurate reflection of Obama’s voting record in the Illinois legislature. Consequently, the left has has to obfuscate the issue. On several occasions, Obama voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in the Illinois legislature. Doing damage control for him, last night Alan Colmes attempted to spin the issue into confusing. Interviewing | Read More »
Barack Obama is so pathetic, even his own team calls his latest tax scheme bad
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 12th at 10:28 AM |
Just how bad do you have to be to get your own side saying you’re out of freaking mind? Answer: As bad as Barack Obama. The Associated Press reports even Obama’s own team thinks his latest tax plan, designed to distract from his plan to increase taxes on everyone who earns more than $42,000.00 a year, is terrible. The Obama campaign says the idea would | Read More »
