Does Obamanation REALLY Want To Go There?

It all started with an ad from a pro-Hussein group touting what a wonderful family man the Savior of Socialism is - which is a curious thing to need to reinforce with an ad if the claim is unassailably true.  Unless the ad, between the lines, isn't really about Lucifer:

I don't know about you, but I seriously doubt the Christian bona fides of anybody who can delude him/herself into believing that Barack Hussein Obama holds "pro-family" positions.

More to the point, though, is the tell-tale lack of discretion that seems to pervade not only BO but every last one of his swooning Kool-Aid swillers, which in this instance confirmed that they weren't really trying to tout their guy as the next Ward Cleaver:

"Well, I don't know a lot about John McCain's family history, I do know, however, that as recently as last week I think it was, the senator made a comment in South Dakota regarding his wife entering some Buffalo Chips contest which is this topless deal and if she were to enter she would probably win it and my personal opinion and based on my understanding of the Christian faith, that's not, not, N-O-T, not the type of expression that a presidential candidate, or anyone for that matter who is a follower of the Christian faith, ought to make," said the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell. "I don't know if that is a perfect case in point, but it surely does help to juxtapose the DNA of Senator Obama, if you would, versus the DNA of Senator McCain."

My first gut reaction?  If Reverend Caldwell admits he doesn't know a lot about Sailor's family history, then he should not attempt to speak about things of which he is blanketly ignorant.

My second gut reaction?  He obviously wanted to speak about it anyway because he wanted to personally trash McCain, and cited the "Buffalo Chip" quip - which could hardly be anything other than an obvious jest on Maverick's part - because that's how meager Lord Queeg's dirt pantry is.  Which makes Caldwell's attack beyond lame.

Leading, inexorably, to my third gut reaction: could the "DNA" metaphor not unreasonably be interpreted as a racial slur?  And would it not be if a McCainiac had used to vis-a-vie Obama?  Which, by the way, McCain would never have permitted, as we've already seen this summer.

The Phil Jackson-esque Rick Warren, another oxymoronical "liberal pastor," was evidently bolder than President Bush's vickar, though, as he weasely upped the personal ante:

Caldwell then invoked comments that Rick Warren made about adultery in a Thursday interview with ABC News' Jake Tapper to raise additional questions about McCain. 

"His marital history has been duly recorded," said Caldwell, referring to McCain, "and as recently as yesterday I think it is, our pastor from Saddleback, Rick Warren indicated that he would not feel comfortable voting for an adulterer and I don't know exactly to whom he was referring but I think the data speaks for itself, and again, at the end of the day, and I really appreciate you raising this because, at the end of the day again I think the American public deserves full revelation of the candidate's character and competency. Character and competency. So, whatever questions that should be asked that would give the voting public an indication as to who they are and what they've done should be fair game."

Innuendo that is about as subtle as a kick in the groin while wearing ski boots.

As to the hypocrisy, AP exit-questioned that quite effectively:

Which opportunistic reversal is more shameless? Democrats suddenly deciding that infidelity is a serious electoral issue or Democrats suddenly deciding that no, on second thought, military experience isn’t essential in a commander-in-chief?

Oh, man, that's like getting extra hot fudge on your triple-decker ice cream sundae.  The third decker being an Obamanoid touting the competency of He Who Descendeth With A Career Resume Thinner Than The Anorexic Olsen Twin.

The Matthew-25ers share that level of competency, methinks, at least as it pertains to their political acumen.  It reveals how suddenly nervous they are about the emerging campaign trends, how in a cycle this purportedly pro-Donk Light-Bringer should be running away with the race at this point and is instead in a flat-footed tie.

It also suggests they don't realize what kind of Pandora's Box they are opening, judging by Team Sith's simultaneously sharp and blunt retort:

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers has responded to Caldwell’s criticism by saying: “These people are Obama campaign surrogates. These kinds of personal attacks are disgraceful. This absolutely exposes the hypocrisy of Obama’s claim to represent a ‘new kind of politics.’”

A Republican strategist speaking on the condition of anonymity reacted to the Caldwell comments by telling ABC News: “My advice to the Obama people: ‘proceed with extreme caution.’ They don’t want to get into a discussion of character and background. They are opening a door that they will not be able to close. They are putting on the table issues and personalities that they do not want to discuss.”

Issues and personalities like...Jeremiah Wright.  And Michael "Father" Pfleger.  And the Weathermen terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohn.  And Tony Rezko.  All that stuff that Obama is still trying to live down and put behind him, and which McCain has been scrupulously leaving alone.

The message to Obamanation couldn't be more crystal clear: "We don't want to go into the gutter.  We never have.  But if you insist on dragging the campaign down into the muck, you'll drown in it long before we will."

Don't think so?  Look at how badly the Chicago Cherubim is floundering just in attempting to defend himself from a couple of center-right exposes of his "issues and personalities".

Or maybe the Dark Lord of the Sith will simply let the Bread of Death drown himself.

Running up the score just wouldn't be comitous, after all.

UPDATE: Add the DNC to the "don't know enough to bleep or go blind" list:

Oh, Lordy, where to begin?  How about that Abramoff was not a "Republican" lobbyist but was quite bipartisan in his shady dealings?  Or that the best Howard Dean's crew can do is McCarthyistically smear McCain with Abramoff links through Ralph Reed, who was himself smeared with bogus Abramoff links by a hard-left hatchet group named "Defcon"?

Or that False Messiah himself held a fundraiser just last fall at Abramoff's law firm?:

Last fall, Barack Obama quietly slipped into the Miami headquarters of a major law firm scarred by the scandals of Jack Abramoff, its once-powerful Washington lobbyist who now sits in jail.

Arriving a little after 10 a.m. on Oct. 1 [2007], Obama spent the next three hours schmoozing, speaking in a video conference to branch offices and raising money at Greenberg Traurig, a billion-dollar firm with one of the biggest lobby shops here.

Obama has now raised about $125,000 from Greenberg Traurig employees — nearly half of it at the time of the event — more than from any of the other top law and lobby firms.

Symbolically, it was a starkly contradictory event: an appearance by the candidate who crusades most adamantly against lobbyists at the onetime firm of the poster child for out-of-control influence peddling.

Public anger over the Abramoff lobbying scandal led Obama to institute the ban on lobbyist money in the first place, an aide said last year.

And McCain is "more of the same old politics"???

At the rate BO's surrogates are going, they're going to inadvertently have Obama out on poontang hunts with Sick Willie and Opie Edwards.  Or is that where we came in with this post?
