Republican Ratfuck alert
Posted by Jill | 8:04 AM
They must think we're stupid; that we aren't wise to the tactics used by wingnuts to make it look like Democrats are radicals. Another Republican ratfuck busted:

Earlier today, some extreme rightwing blogs went into outrage overdrive as someone "discovered" an anti-semitic blog over at the open-registration "community blog" my.barrackobama.com. Israel Matzav declared “Barack Obama Explains how the Jewish Lobby Works.” Doug Ross was a little better off with the “Official Obama Blog.” LGF, in a classic pot-calling, said that there was "something deeply wrong with a presidential candidate who attracts so many of these hateful psychotics."


Kyle and Matt over at Comments From Left Field, however, would like to point out that - as usual - the outrage is entirely manufactured. The truth is that it's a "ratfuck" operation, reminsicent of Roger Stone's infamous "Socialists for McCloskey" scam in 1972.


How? Matt explains:

- The original “Jewish Lobby” post, copy-pasted to my.barack.com by a “Juan Carlos”, appeared in April in on a site called “Real Jew News”, run by anti-semite nutcase “Brother Nathaenal”.


- All anti-semitic comments originally appeared on the Real Jew News post, with corresponding timestamps. For some reason the comments at my.barack.com have my.barack urls, even though they appear to have been directly copy pasted from Real Jew News.


[snip]

Let's repeat that for the hard of understanding : The anti-semitic post and its hateful comments were ported directly over from the rightwing Real Jew News site; the names and time stamps weren’t even changed to protect the innocent. Only two comments were made on the actual Obama site - and they were both complaints about the post.



You know, that the wingnuts are doing this tells us a lot more about them than it tells the world about us. They are frightened, cornered animals, who are always the most dangerous. I'm sure some of your friends will get e-mails about this alleged anti-Semitic post at My.Barack.Obama. It's our job to set them straight.

one of my favorite quotations from the often misquoted or misunderstood sun tsu is regarding the importance of a good commander leaving the enemy a viable route of escape. he says this is important because:

men always fight hardest for an undefendable position.

oh yeah, they're coming, they're desperate, crazy and without benefit of principle.
