Right-wing smear machine falls for fake Obama quote labeled as "satire" (Media Matters)
   
October 23, 2009 9:00 pm ET — 12 Comments

Right-wing media figures trumpeted a blogger's fake report that in a college thesis -- which the post's author claimed was obtained by Time's Joe Klein -- President Obama attacked the Founders and the Constitution. Lou Dobbs ran with the claim even after Klein had denied the story, Michael Ledeen had apologized for having repeated it, and Rush Limbaugh had acknowledged that it might not be accurate ...

Yes, because liberals never, ever fell for any fake quotes and events attributed to Republicans.

You know, other than...

...TANG memos...

...Palin in a towel...

...Trig being Bristol's kid...

...Bush saying God told him to attack Iraq...

etc. ad nauseum

What smear machine? It's pretty ineffective, because this is the first I have heard of it.   However, I do remember Lord Zero making comments about the Constitution, that showed he had little respect for it.  There are videos out there .

The only smear machine that I am aware of is on the left.  The right doesn't make up crap or use made up crap.  We use the actual, recorded words and actions of liberals to show them for who they really are.  The left uses evidenceless nonsense pulled straight from their sorry behinds to viciously attack Republicans.

Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America by Ann Coulter is a scathing expose on the non-existant "right-wing smear machine" and the very real liberal smear machine, from ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN

The fact of the matter is that Obama did attack the Constitution and the Founding Fathers when he referred to the Constitution as a "fundamentally flawed doccument"


Quote
It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.

Yeah Rush brought it up then the second he found out it was a hoax (the thesis not Obama's attitude) he told us it wasn't true.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.
