Obamites bully opponents, claim discrimination

  Journolist is still alive, apparently, in the conveniently placed "Romney is a homophobe" story placed the day after Obama comes out to support gay marriage.
  And, wow, this was so spontaneous on the part of Obama that they're selling t-shirts advertising his support of gay marriage 3 days later and, gee, they're not even back ordered.
  It looks like the ridiculous WaPo smear job continues to fall apart.
  The best takedown is over at Spectator.
  Here John Hayward lays out the totality of the smear:
The piece does a great deal of mind-reading to insinuate homophobia, and in an amazing set of concluding paragraphs, heavily implies that Romney essentiallymurdered this poor kid with his scissors – it just took his body four decades to collapse around his broken spirit.  John Lauber died of liver cancer in 2004, an even the Postdramatically contrasts with Romney accepting the Distinguished Alumni award from the Cranbrook prep school, concluding with a melancholy salute to Lauber’s hair, which he never stopped bleaching blond.
  Hayward runs down the entire extent of the damage the Post did to itself with their inaccurate and overblown story, including the fact that when they were discovered to have been wrong on at least fact, they went back and changed the story without acknowledging it, only admitting they did this when Breitbart demanded a retraction and got it.
  But Hayward also illustrates acts of valor Romney has committed dating back to 1994, something pretty much unheard of in the press. Indeed those three incidents are dramatic enough to be interesting to a Hollywood script writer, if Romney were instead a Democrat candidate for the presidency.
  So this how they accomplish their attacks on character.
  The meme is thrown out there, then they cite themselves and interview themselves reacting to the false story.
  We can already see the results; they throw out a false and unprovable (and therefore pretty much irrefutable) story out there, then keep the story alive by repeating the story and discussing the public and journalistic reaction to the unproveable story. 
  Witness this video of a "moderator" scolding a guest for questioning her motives for repeating the story. The "moderator" condescends to the guest by cutting him off for not being willing to be cut off conversate.
  So now that the story is out there, we have hacks like Paul Begala writing hackster pieces like this at The Daily Beast: Paul Begala on Romney: Once a bully, always a bully.
  Now those informed among us could say the same of the current POTUS, who famously admitted bullying a fellow student but Begala wouldn't be interested in that extrapolation.
  In fact, any objective observer understands that the entire piece that Begala writes really is far more applicable to the current POTUS than Romney. Indeed, the comments at that article reveal that people are onto the Begala bait and switch. Criticize Romney for something of which Obama himself is guilty.
  The real bully is Obama.
  Heck, the Democrat party is even training House members how to accuse anyone who opposes their wishes of racism.
  As if they don't know how to do that already. What a cottage industry.
  Will these Democrat hacks denounce the tactics employed by the Obama team, which include running opposition research on donors to the Romney campaign who have nothing to do with politics except to donate to the political party of their choice; in the case of VanderSloot, he has lost business and friends as a result of the smear:
That changed in January, with the first Super PAC disclosures. Liberal bloggers and media have since dug into his past, dredging up long-ago Idaho controversies that touched on gay issues. His detractors have spiraled these into accusations that Mr. VanderSloot is a "gay bashing thug." He's become a national political focus of attention, aided by the likes of partisan Salon blogger Glenn Greenwald and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. Bloggers have harassed his children, visiting their social media accounts and asking for interviews and information.
  These are really nice people, doncha think?  
  Meanwhile the press is already starting to inoculate the POTUS from repercussions from the Black community.
  So we have a dope for POTUS who can't work his way out of a paper bag, who values the golf course more than executive office, who loves to party but hates to work, who loves hobnobbing with the rich but forgets how serious the recession because of his wealthy insularity of which he accuses his opponent.
  And how does the press respond?
  Obama's too smart for the job?
  How do we know this? We haven't seen his grades, his transcripts, his writings, his scholarship material....
  Oh,well, we'll just have to take his word for it.
  Here's the LA Times article, in which the author concludes that there's just no room for smart people in the Oval Office anymore, whose potential hasn't been reached but, rather, has been "held back" by the Oval Office and, thus, we who are not worthy.
  Last question: is anybody else creeped out by the fact that Barack Obama sits around bare chested wearing a sarong on Sundays?
