Campaign Admits Obama Lied About Abortion Vote, Media Asleep

[TheSarge]

Question: Isn't it big news when a leading candidate for president of the U.S. admits that since 2003 he has been lying about a vote he once made? Even more to the point, isn't it big news when the candidate himself was on TV not long before that admission saying that everyone else is the liar? So, why is the media silent on the 180 degree about face that the Obama campaign has just made concerning Obama's BAIP vote?

As NewsBusters reported on August 13, the media pretty much ignored the great work by Jill Stanek in uncovering the truth that contradicted nearly 6 years of claims that Obama made concerning his vote on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act when he was in the Illinois State Senate. Obama claimed that the Federal "neutrality clause" wasn't in the Illinois bill and that if it were he would have voted for the bill instead of against it. Stanek proved that the exact same clause Obama said wasn't in the bill was actually placed in the bill by the very committee Obama chaired. Yet he still voted against it.

when you are in the tank for the guy, you are in the tank for the guy.  it's also the same reason that john edwards got away with (a) having an affair (b) while he was a leading dem candidate for president, and (c) putting her on the payroll of his campaign (d) more or less around the time she became pregnant (e) with may or may not be his kid.

the MSM is becoming so unfailingly uncritical of The BarckStar! that their refusal to cover legitimate stories could give artificial credibility to some
of the loonier silliness being bandies about, e.g., he's a muslim, his birth certificate is forged, he isn't american . . .

Everyone knows that Dims don't have any morals, so they can't possibly do anything actually wrong.  Only repukes have morals, can do the wrong thing, and can be held responsible for doing something wrong.
