FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

The Obama campaign’s pre-debate media flack points.

Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller earn their corn for the day.

Sure, they all do it. So stipulated. It’s still nice to see that the Obama campaign is deliberately (and quite hypocritically) trying to play angles like “erratic” and “dishonorable” and – ooh, this is a good one! – “unsteady.” It’s even nicer for them to give us a clear link ahead of time to the most egregious talking-points repeaters among the media. If you see any of the below mentioned, then you know who fed it to them in the first place.

But nicest of all is the screw-up. Although I do wonder how many reporters blanched and deleted the email unread.

Full list after the fold.

Moe Lane

PS: Nice try, Barry: but you dared him to bring up Ayers in the first place, remember? So don’t go all wobbly because the scary old guy decided to call you on it…

“* This is John McCain’s last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn’t disqualify him from being President.

“* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to ‘whip Obama’s you-know-what’ at the debate, and he’s indicated that he’ll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters.

“* So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.

“Obama continues to lead on the economic crisis with a rescue plan for Main Street.

“Over the course of the campaign, Barack Obama has laid out a set of policies that will grow our middle class and strengthen our economy.

“But he knows we face an immediate economic emergency that requires urgent action – on top of the plans he’s already laid out – to help workers and families and communities struggling right now.

“That’s why Barack Obama is introducing a comprehensive four-part Rescue Plan for the Middle Class – to immediately to stabilize our financial system, provide relief to families and communities, and help struggling homeowners.

“This is a plan that can and should be implemented immediately.

“Obama has shown steady leadership during this crisis and offered concrete solutions to move the country forward – and his Rescue Plan for the Middle Class builds on the plans to strengthen the economy and rebuild the middle class that he’s laid out over the course of this campaign.

“Already in this campaign, he’s unveiled plans to give 95 percent of workers and their families a tax cut, eliminate income taxes for seniors making under $50,000, bring down the cost of health care for families and businesses; and create millions of new jobs by investing in the renewable energy sources.

“John McCain has been erratic and unsteady since this crisis began – staggering from position to position and trying to change the subject away from the economy by launching false character attacks.”

    I am trying to get the transcripts from 980 KMBZ in Kansas City this morning. As I was driving into work at about 7:30 they had Sam on the phone and I swear I heard just about everyone of these talking points come out of his mouth. When I read this on the Drudge Report my jaw about hit the floor.

    Not are they only biased they are taking talking points straight from the campaign.

    This must stop and must be brought up in the “debate” tonight, if debate is the correct word to use.

  • E_Pluribus_Unum

    The Obama talking points and the Treason Media’s talking points are indistinguishable to me.

    Maybe it’s just my lack of perception I guess.

  • Dee

    But this continually use of words such as dishonorable towards him, the calling any legitimate issue with Obama and his polices distractions, has finally made me angry.

    If Obama fights this dirty to win the election, just think how hard and nasty he will fight to complete his agenda and maintain his power. Yes, I am scared and sad.

    We live in interesting times.

    how would the MSM know what to talk about?

  • Republicanuck

    Where’s the talking point about the Philip Berg lawsuit, or has the Great One (sic) come up with his birth certificate yet?

  • PaRep
  • KBDay

    Teflon Barry Teflon Barry…

    They’re doing the subliminal thing. Ayers is master at that in education.

  • alpharob1

    By the way, his email address is sean.smith@barackobama.com , simple google revealed the correct syntax based
    on other emails.

    Anyhow, here is what I sent Monsieur Smith:

    Hi Sean,

    ha ha ha… I guess not EVERYONE in the MSM is shillin’ for O. Thank you Matt Drudge!

    By the way:

    “So we know that Senator McCain will come ready to attack Barack Obama and bring his dishonorable campaign tactics to the debate stage.”

    No. He’ll just point out that Barack Obama has some pretty nefarious friends.
    Crooks, liars and America haters, wouldn’t you say if you were honest? Why
    shouldn’t everyone else hear about it?

    ….

    I haven’t heard back yet. lol

  • DenveRockwell

    hear back, I mean.

    You see, “Monsieur” Smith has an election to win. Why would he waste his time replying to an angry, hate-filled message?

    While McCain is bringing up Ayers, perhaps he’ll bring up his own “nefarious” connections, eh?? If he’s so “honest,” that road will go both ways.

    I think we all know that it won’t happen.

  • Moe_Lane

    …I suggest that you go back to it.

  • moprwalt

    During the debate you could see he never answers a direct question, he goes on to his campaign speech. “well we can’t afford another four years with bush economic policies. Mccain should have said we sure can’t afford another fannie mae and fannie mac. he is condecending as he smiles half laughs when he hears facts instead of the TRUTH which i believe in my heart many people don’t want to hear. this election has been bought and paid for by the left, with every penny they can ponny up. i could better see Barrack Hussien Obamas (it is his name although he does not like it mentioned in public says people only say it cause they,re racists) as President if he had a record i could determine his fitness as commander and Chief.he is not a good debator, he constantly dodges questions on his socialist views for america. this is a time we need a known quanity he is a far less known quantity than Jimmy Carter or William Jefferson Clinton.Economically we are drifting toward Socialistic control of banks,transportation, Automotive industry, Health Care , Union open ballots. with an Obama administration we will drag out a major recession into maybe a depression.But as i have said Americans don’t want the truth , because they think thier politicians will provide
    the answers. to get the real low down we must do our home work, online you may look at both candidates voting record or lack of one. Barrack Obamas has hardly any record to compare with Mccains, Obama likes voting present which leaves voters with a sense of WELL at least he dosen’t have a record one way or another. he’s almost a MANCHURIAN TYPE of official. he has no record of any substance, but he takes the high road of i’m gona give 95% of joe and cindy clueless a tax refund which is just another word for WELFARE how? by printing moe money and hyper inflation.Reverand WRight had it right,and Nation of ISLAM leader SAID BARRACK HUSSIEN OBAMA!!! will be our DEliverence from White oppression and they alone(whites) created the AIDS viruse and turned it loose on the minorty masses. with mentors like this we should all be just clamoring to vote him in a landslide.

    AS much as i respect Jhon Mccain, I realize he’s not the attack type that we needed. he’s probably realized the country is headed full bore into the Socialist republic of America. its a mess the Democrats created so lets see them spend they’re way out of this global crisis. only where do we fit in when the rampant inflation sets in, due to the massive influx of monopoly money. when foriegn lenders like China and Saudi Arabia see thier money is better left in thier own banks and stop lending. after all why would China loan America Money so we can buy thier cheap goods, or Saudi Arabia loan Us money to loan out so we can keep buying thier oil? This is where it gets really bad for President Whomever promised the mostest. he will have to tap dance his way through the lines of unemployed car manufacturers he promise billions, and hospitals which have no operating funds to pay staff, or the long lines at his alternative fuel stations that have no fuels, and lets not forget his millions of greenbelt jobs that never come to fruition because? are you listening, easy credit is gone forever ,credit is tightening up already, no car loans no car sales, Good bye GENERAL MOTORS goodbye FORD. no AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY no UNION!!! no detroit michigan.If we are ever going to recover we have to attract investment. investors want low overhead and they they don’t want mandated health care requirements. SEN OBAMA is for redistribution of wealth from the bottom up, most of these people on welfare at the bottom have better health care than we do in the lower middle class. so whose money is he going to redistribute so we all can have the same set of benifits. he says we will have the same health care as CONGRESS CAN YOU IMAGINE BARNEY FRANK AND CHRIS DODD AND BARRACK OBAMA AT THE SAME DOCTOR GETTING THE SAME HEALTH CARE AS THOSE AT BOTTOM IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. IT IS A LIE, although a smooothly orhestrated OBAMA lie.the bottom line is Obamas economic plan is thirty years to late it is 1960′s welfare state mentality. Industry will pack up an move to countries that provide the lowest tax base and the least overhead.the big sucking sound ross perot talked about is whats left of our industry leaving waving BY, BY BARRACK.READ THE NEWS PAPERS, GENERAL MOTORS AND FORD ARE ON THE BRINK OF NON_EXISTANCE BANKRUPTCY IS NOT AN OPTION. HIS APPROACH IS FAIRYTALE OBAMANOMICS. maybe ACORN, RESZCO, HIS FANNIE MAE PALS,FANNIE MAC, AYERS, will all get together and come up with an alternative plan to finally flush us down the third world sewer to socialism.WAlT

    THEY CAN BE BASED OVERSEAS AVOID CAPITAL GAINS HEATH CARE MANDATES AND STATE EXISE TAX, AND STILL OWN DRILLING RIGHTS ON THE OIL AND REMOVE THE OIL.BRITISH PETROLIUM INVESTS IN OIL EXPLORATION ON THE OUTER CONTENENTAL SHELF. EVEN IF THEY OWN DRILLING RIGHTS, DEPENDING ON THE PRICE OF OIL PER BARREL IT DOSEN”T MATTER HOW MUCH OIL IS THERE IF THEY ARE ONLY GETTING ONE DOLLAR FOR EVERY DOLLAR EXPENDED THEY”LL LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND.EDUCATE ME IF I AM WRONG, THIS COULD BE THE CASE.WALT
