Hot Air’s been burning the midnight oil debunking the various fabrications and accusations, opinion pieces disguised as news stories, and misleading to just plain ol’ untruthful Obama campaign claims, and today was no exception. Make sure to check out the following posts:
—— Ed Morrissey wrote this morning about Obama’s criticism of McCain’s call for a bipartisan commission to study what led up to the Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae/AIG/Lehman Bros. mess and how to fix it. Obama claimed that the word “commission” was Washington-speak for “We’ll get back to ya later.” While most of us would agree that commissions are pretty much useless when it comes to resolveing anything, unfortunately for Obama, as Ed points out in his post – with video included – Obama’s been a staunch advocate for commissions on a number of occasions. But this is one of those times that when a Republican advocates it, he’s going to be against it … just because. So much for “bipartisanship” – but then again, we already knew Obama’s claims to have a special skill in that arena were and are, simply put, flat out bogus.
—– The far left have been wetting themselves today over various reports from the mainstream mediots (reports, I should note, that were no doubt inspired by agenda-driven liberal bloggers) about how McCain supposedly either “dissed” or “did not know” who Spain’s prime minister is nor where Spain was on a map while doing a radio interview on Hispanic-related issues. AllahPundit chokes the life out of the argument here, while Pajamas Media’s Soeren Kern nails the final stake through the heart of this severely crediblity-challenged story.
And as a side note, isn’t it mighty interesting that the far left jumps all over this story as an example of McCain’s alleged “cluelessness” when it comes to foreign policy, yet they appear to have no issues whatsoever with Barack Obama’s vow to meet unconditionally with, well, anyone – including the despotic “leaders” of countries like North Korea and Iran?

There’s just something compelling about a train wreck.
As they say, comedy is born of tragedy…
Let’s also not forget that Obama thinks there are 57 states.
…yet they appear to have no issues whatsoever with Barack Obama’s vow to meet unconditionally with, well, anyone
I think you should talk to these guys too. They obviously do not know what they are talking about.
Excuse me, alchemist? What makes you think I haven’t researched the issue, weighed the pros and cons already and made up my own mind on the issue? Why can’t you give me YOUR opinion instead of someone else’s? Why should I give their opinion any more weight than I do the other foreign policy heavyweights who agree that it’s not a good idea to meet UNCONDITIONALLY with any despot?
HAHAHAHA!!!! Kissinger?!?!?!?! Are you kidding me??? I wouldn’t let him negotiate a deal for brats for me at my local butchershop. As far as Halfbright, give me a break she is an idiot without compare. “We were deceived halfbright” is, is….. There is NOTHING in the universe to compare her stupidity to. She couldn’t tell that North Korea was lying to her, and now we see the consequences of that stupidity. Infact her deal with NK is the one of the best reasons that it is sheer stupidity NOT to have pre-conditions. Wake up Alchemist.
The only person I might, just maybe listen to out of that group, if I were President, would be just maybe Colin Powell. But since he did nothing and allowed poor Scooter Libby to take the fall for his boy, I probably wouldn’t listen to him either. I lost ALL respect for Colin after it was reported that he stood silent while an innocent man took the fall for something his office did. – Lorica
Well, I generally trust people with 20 years more experience than me in such matters. I have no idea what your experience is in foreign policy, but if I had to choose between your view and Powell/Kissinger/Albright/Baker/Christopher, I would probably side with them.
Doesn’t mean they’re right and you’re wrong. There are certainly other foreign policy advisers who don’t agree. But it does mean that you can believe in negotiations and not be …. ‘naive’.
Only proving just how gullable you are Alchemist. – Lorica
WTH are you talking about, alchemist? Did you not read what I wrote? I didn’t come up with this opinion out of thin air. I READ the opinions of other foreign policy heavyweights and made up my own mind. Why did you distort what I wrote to make it sound like I had no basis for my opinion other than my biases? Here is what I wrote, again, this time with emphasis added:
“What makes you think I haven’t researched the issue, weighed the pros and cons already and made up my own mind on the issue? Why can’t you give me YOUR opinion instead of someone else’s? Why should I give their opinion any more weight than I do the other foreign policy heavyweights who agree that it’s not a good idea to meet UNCONDITIONALLY with any despot?”
I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt in other arguments, alchemist, but not this time. I didn’t ask you to trust MY (apparently to you unresearched) opinion over the opinions of Albright, etc, but instead told you that I had based my opinion on doing my own research and reading what other fp heavyweights (and others who know fp well) have to say about the issue. You deliberately distorted my argument, and you should know better.
I’m still trying to figure out what exactly they are going to negotiate. This is a nation that has supplied weapons to Iraqi insurgents that have killed U.S. soldiers, anyone remember that?? That, in and of itself, eliminates any chance of negotiations in my book. Stop killing our soldiers and we’ll talk. Get that Obama apologists????
This is a nation led by a man who thinks it is God’s destiny that he wipes Israel off the map, anyone remember that? What are you going to negotiate? That he agrees to kill only half the Jews in Israel??
This is a nation that supplies Hezbollah, a known terrorist organization. What I don’t understand is if it’s ok to negotiate with Iran, who has just as much blood on their hands as Hezbollah, why won’t Obama negotiate with Hezbollah???? What’s the difference?
