More lies from the liberals

I received this email from a democrat, as did a lot of my friends. I don't know why it inflamed me the way it did, but I researched every false claim and fired it right back at the sender, you have my permission to do the same when it is sent to you. The original email is in normal type while my replies are in red and italics.........





OK......How bad does it have to get before we see the light?????????????



I ' m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....



If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're

"exotic, different."

However, grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you're a quintessential American story.



Two entirely different stories, Obama himself was the one who has labeled himself “exotic and different” Remember the comment about the pictures on the treasury bills? I can find that video if you would like. Nobody that I’m aware of labeled the Palin Family as “quintessential” unless you are including this letter of course.



If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic "Muslim" (who, by the way, is a Christian).

However, name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a "maverick".

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

However, attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.



Barack is a derivative of an Arabic word Barik. We know he’s a Christian by the way! The next comment is pretty offensive, just because the Palin’s haven’t named their children “conventional names” you consider then mavericks. What does that say about Obama’s parents who named him Barack? The next statement goes on the assumption that Obama attended only Harvard. He attended Occidental College, Columbia University, and THEN Harvard. So in your line of reasoning, You see Obama more grounded because he attended two less schools of higher learning? Senator John McCain attended 20 some schools in his youth, does that make him somehow more uneducated?





If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,



Let’s dissect your claim; better still let’s use Obama’s own words and the people who worked with him:

According to Mike Kruglik, a fellow organizer at that time, Obama was the best student he had ever had in his 10 years of training organizers. "He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. He could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better." Although being involved in the Developing Communities Project as President, Obama admits in a 2007 inverview that, “"For the most part I would say I wasn’t wildly successful," The victories that we achieved were extraordinarily modest: you know, getting a job-training site set up or getting an after-school program for young people put in place." Obama was also involved in a group called Gamaliel Foundation which, provides training and consultation and develops national strategy for its affiliated congregation-based community organizations.













become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters



These statements are true….



12 years as a Constitutional Law Professor,

Not true I’m afraid, he did work 12 years for the University of Chicago Law School, but this is where the truth ends. Of his teachings in law, in only one class did he teach anything relating to “constitutional law”. The New York Times reported his classes as such:



“According to research conducted by the New York Times and published on July 30, 2008, Obama is described as having taught three courses. These included a Voting Rights class which, "traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance...he taught districting as a racially fraught study in how power is secured." He also taught a class on Due Process and Equal Protection and, "His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law."





His title was not professor but that of “Senior Lecturer,” he was however offered a professorship to keep him from Leaving the University of Chicago Law School after his first run for state congress after his 2 to 1 loss.



spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with


over 750,000 people,



True



become chairman of the state Senate's Health and

Human Services committee,



True, but his two terms in the state senate were far from illustrious, as he was only personally responsible for 3 pieces of legislature, racial profiling guidelines, video taping of homicide suspects, and death penalty reform. In reality, Barack Obama was just 1 of 59 State senators in Illinois, a rather small fish in a big pond.



spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing

a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the

Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs

Committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.


In Senator Obama’s first two years in the US Senate he had the ability to vote on 200 bills before him.This caring individual, a self- appointed spokesman for the “little guy”, and the downtrodden has had been recorded as a NO VOTE 143 times. So important was this position to him, and yet he was either absent or it was his choice not to vote 71.5% of the time,thereby shirking his responsibility of the job he has been paid to do. In a move of arrogance, he has chosen to introduce or co-introduce 573 bills of his own, showing that he believes his legislation to be more important then any one else’s. Senator Obama was “installed” in these committees by powerful Democratic leaders to groom him for his run for the Presidency; personally I’d like to see how many meeting of these committees he actually attended. The population of Illinois is 12,419,293, so again an exaggeratation, divide that in half because Illinois has two US Senators, and we see he now speaks for 6,200,000 people and not 13 million.

However, if your total resume is: local weather girl,


This statement has been made to belittle Sarah Palin’s journalism degree; unfortunately this is where most in TV start. I'm sure Obama didn't start trying cases when he first started with his law firm.

4 years on the city


council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people,


Wassilla, AK has a population of 9780 people, and this minimalistic statement does come close to describing her total single handed commitment to ridding her state of corruption by her own party.


20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're

qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive and next in

line behind a man in his eighth decade of life.

Hardly worth replying to

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising

2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real

Christian.


John McCain has now been married to Cindy McCain for 28 years, and have adopted 7 children from different nationalities, all with physical disabilities, showing their “deeds by example” of their pro-life, pro-humanity stance. Being Protestant certainly doesn’t give you the moral high ground. Alliance to the Trinity United Church of Christ is at this point a totally indefensible position; let’s not EVEN venture there!


However, if you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left

your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a

true Christian.


McCain’s extra-marital affair wasn’t with his now wife Cindy, and as reported he had an affair in 1976 and didn’t meet Cindy until 1979. McCain’s “disfigured wife” was actually diagnosed as disabled, and got that way from a car accident in 1969 (while McCain was a POW) to which, The settlement included two houses, and financial support for her ongoing medical treatments due to her 1969 car accident; they would remain on good terms. John McCain remains a Southern Baptist, much the same as Bill Clinton does.


If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including


the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.


When questioned about age appropriate, Obama replied that it would include younger children, the interviewer asked “kindergarten?” He laughed at first but then said he wouldn’t take anything off the table, non-committal to say the least.


However, if, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no

other option in sex education in your state's school system while your

unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible

This is untrue, she is Christian and pro-life, but also a supporter of birth control: she's a member of Feminists For Life (FFL), an anti-abortion, pro-contraception organization. In 2002, she wrote a letter to FFL stating that she had "adamantly supported our cause since I first understood, as a child, the atrocity of abortion." She supports the teaching of creationism in public schools, alongside evolution.


If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in

a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city

community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values

don't represent America 's.


In 2002, Michelle began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May, 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs. She still holds the position, though she is working part time in order to devote more time to being a mother.Just a few months before he joined the presidential race, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) co-sponsored a little-noticed proposal to require the Pentagon to spend $2 million on brain trauma research for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The beneficiary of the Aug. 2, 2006, earmark from him and Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) was undeniably close to home: the University of Chicago, where his wife, Michelle, worked as the university hospital's vice president for community and external affairs. According to NPR, Michelle Obama was promoted to a vice president at the University of Chicago Hospitals; her salary nearly tripled, from $122,000 to $316,000 a year for a part time job. I’ve never know ANYONE who gets that much money for a part time job but I would suppose that once a person gets that sort of raise I believe she can “donate her time” to worthwhile projects. To be honest what does this have to do with anything? She isn’t running for office right?





However, if your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI


conviction and no college education

At LEAST? Todd Palin had one DWI conviction, and spent more time in jail for that violation then Edward Kennedy did for his responsibility in death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Todd Palin did take college courses but never graduated with a degree. Barack Obama's father died from a car accident while driving drunk.


who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA


From 1995 to 2002 he was registered to vote as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.Yes the AIPwhen first started avocated Cessation from the US but that was in 1958, long before Todd palin was even born. Now the party is a viable third party with real candidates, and values. Since that time Todd has registered as “uncommited.” And this man is running for what office?


your family is extremely admirable.

In my own opinion, Barack Obama, his wife, his family, or his campaign, have shown me nothing to be admired. His arrogant conceited books show me nothing but contempt for the very country he says he loves, but has shown no proof to that effect. His career has been constructed entirely around this run for the Presidency that he is involved in right now. His actions show the true “Audacity of HIS Hope,” and not his dream for America’s hope or future.


OK, much clearer now.


Actually once we have the FACTS things become clearer still! Anyone with a computer can verify what I have through, Wikipedia, and all the normal news sources. The problem with America is that not many take the time to do it, and trash emails like this continue to circulate, that is why this needed to be nipped in the bud!


If anyone wishes to ask for resources on any of my rebuttal info I will gladly comply just email me directly, unlike the person that made all these wild claims, and outright lies.
