Couldn’t Help But Notice (031408)

As you can see from the comments (starting here) at this BizzyBlog post from December 2006, yours truly was on to the idea that the house of worship frequented by the candidate I refer to as BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama) might come back to haunt him:

….. The better question is how the beliefs described here ….. might affect the ability of Obama to be president of all of the people:

Exactly what is *the Black Value System*?

I suspect that if the candidate I refer to as JS3M3 (John Sidney the Mad Maverick McCain III), or the one I refer to as HR4C (Hillary Rodham Cackling Crying Complaining Clinton) attended a church that placed importance of “The White Value System,” that they might have faced difficult questions and marginalization about 15 minutes after they announced their respective candidacies.

15 MONTHS later, a lazy Old Media that didn’t do its homework is finding that the pastor of this church is about as unhinged as one can possibly be.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Old Media does the candidates it instinctively likes and the party it is obviously partial to no favors when it fails, as it clearly has in this case, to subject them to the level of scrutiny routinely exercised on the candidates and the party they’re predisposed not to like. The truth often catches up at a very inconvenient time. This is one of them.

So now, 15 months and 26 primary victories later, the Democratic rank and file gets info about its leading candidate it should have had early last year. Many who have already voted for him, if they’re honest with themselves, will consider what’s involved a dealbreaker and get a case of buyer’s remorse. But many of Obama’s year-long fans, with so much already invested, will find themselves contorting themselves to the breaking point trying to excuse this (Update: Example here).

What happens if the party collectively has buyer’s remorse and, as it clearly has given itself the right to do, reverses the expressed will (uninformed yes, but expressed nevertheless) of millions of its members?

Oh, and a memo to Rush: This info about Obama could have, and would have, waited another few months. Your keeping Hillary alive hastened its arrival. Though it’s too early to be certain, it’s becoming pretty clear that Obama would be the weaker general election candidate. What if, because you kept Hillary’s campaign on life support when it could have been over on March 4, she becomes the nominee instead?

The BBC gets nailed claiming, with “pictures,” that a slain terrorist’s home was bulldozed by Israeli authorities, when it was still standing (HT Michelle Malkin).

Disgraceful comment of the day:

Show me a rich and powerful man between the ages of 35 and 60 who has never paid an escort for sex, and I will show you a man who is a very rare exception.

Apparently “Ruth Henderson” needs to get away from New York City. I doubt that what she claims is true even inside Gotham.

This would be in the “too good to check” category, but given the ultimate source, I have no doubt that it’s true (HT Michelle Malkin).

It’s from Eamon Kelley, a soldier who spent four hours in front of the Marine recruiting office in Berkeley that Code Pink, Berkeley city fathers, et al have under siege:

“While we were at the protest in Berkeley from 12 to 4 PM a white volvo drove by and a man spat upon code pink. They chased him down the street and got into a verbal altercation. The police were NO WHERE in sight. That’s not the best part, ready for this? Medea Benjamin yelled and I quote “Marines!” she actually yelled for our help because this man had stepped out of his car. Lol. I even asked her if she was yelling Police and she told me “I said Marines” then put her arm around my friend Allen (the Marine vet) Ironic?

Medea Benjamin is a co-founder of Code Pink.
