Obama Whines Again That McCain Is Questioning His Patriotism; the MSM Heartily Agrees
— Ace

Obama's theme this week: I'm a Tough Guy and we won't get rolled again.

"I have never suggested and never will that Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics and personal ambition," Obama said. "I have not suggested it because I believe he genuinely wants to serve America's national interests. Now it is time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same. Let me be clear-I will let no one question my love of this country. I love America, so do you, and so does John McCain."

A day earlier, Senator McCain told the same conference that Senator Obama had put his own political ambitions ahead of the national interest by trying, in McCain's words, to legislate failure in Iraq.

Truth is a defense to libel.

McCain says he's not questioning Obama's patriotism, merely his judgment.

I won't insult you by suggesting that's precisely true.

But what else can one make of someone who is still hellbound to lose a war even when it's nearly won? Obama's position was defensible when the war seemed (for some, with some good reason) to be unwinnable. Now it appears to be not just winnable, but rather difficult to lose, but damnit, Obama is still going to do his level-best to lose it.

And largely because he's captive to a revanchist left who craves defeat in Iraq like a heroin addict craves his next injection.

He is elevating his personal political needs far, far above the national interest. I'd say he's doing a rather good job of questioning his patriotism without any need of help from McCain.

Like clockwork, TPM claims that the media is giving McCain a "pass" on all this terrible patriotism-questioning:

This bears repeating a thousand times: The national press is basically giving McCain a pass on the McCain campaign's double-talk about Obama's patriotism. McCain, after all, has repeatedly said that Obama would rather lose a war than lose a campaign. McCain also said -- just this week, in fact -- that Obama's desire to lose in Iraq was driven entirely by "ambition."

And finally, the McCain campaign sent out to reporters those remarks by Joe Lieberman, in which Lieberman said Obama hasn't always put his country first. That constitutes an official campaign endorsement of Lieberman's assertion.

These facts deserve to be mentioned in every story about McCain's remarks today. But they will get scattered mention, if that.

In addition to the fact that McCain isn't being held accountable for these glaring inconsistencies in his own claims, he's also getting a pass on the assertions of his own surrogates from the very same press corps that aggressively held the Dem candidates accountable for every syllable that came out of their surrogates' mouths during the Dem primary.

I clicked on that from Google News, and knew, before the article popped up, it would be authored by Greg Sergeant, who is one of the most braindead, kneejerk idiots out there on the leftosphere.

So is the press giving a "pass" to McCain on this? Well, Newsbusters actually does what Sergeant doesn't bother to do: They watch the news and digest it, providing quotes and facts.

Is this a "pass"?

“Patriot games,” CBS Evening News anchor Harry Smith teased, “Barack Obama fights back.” Viewers then heard a clip of Obama before the VFW: “I will let no one question my love of this country.” Reporter Dean Reynolds described how “Obama is pivoting toward a more combative style, rebuking the Republicans for habitually turning differences over policy into questions about patriotism, a habit he said John McCain has readily embraced.”

Yes, Greggie, the media is giving McCain a pass, except for the national CBS and NBC broadcasts scolding him.

Greg Sergeant, and the rest of the Media Matters-type Soros brigade, has what might be called media bias envy. These idiots know damn well the media leans left, but they seem to envy the right's David vs. Goliath status, so they are forever claiming the "conservative" media is stacked against them. They're not really attacking the media-- they're deliberately defending them. The media usually defends charges of liberal bias by claiming "some on the right criticize us, and some on the left do too, so that must mean we're getting it basically right."

And it's the likes of Greg Sergeant who knowingly offer up spurious claims of "conservative bias" so that his media buddies can offer this exact defense.

Doing a media-bias post is very easy for someone on the right. It's so easy it often feels cheap. But cheap and easy though it may be, it's, you know, usually right.

Greg Sergeant's absurd claims do not have that saving grace. He tosses around kneejerk claims of "conservative media bias" without evidence or citation because they're easy posts to write. Easy, cheap, and wrong, but they serve their purpose. He and his lefty buddies get to pretend they're brave outsiders besieged by a hostile press, and the press he defends and loves gets to pretend they're equal-opportunity offenders as regards bias.

Everyone wins, except the truth, but Soros isn't seeding money to the left to produce the truth.

Perhaps Greggie should ponder how the MSM just happened to seize upon the notion that "questioning one's patriotism" is the greatest political offense possible. It's fair game, it seems, to question a candidate's intelligence, sanity, sobriety, humanity, and compassion. The media never squeals when a lefty politician claims Republicans conspire to make the lives of the poor more difficult, or to destroy cute fuzzy animals and noble trees just to make a buck for their fat-cat friends.

Those are rather deadly -- and personal -- charges. And yet they're perfectly fair. We never hear the media accusing a Democrat of "engaging in the typical game of questioning Republicans' basic compassion and humanity for their fellow man," or for their fellow earth-creatures.

How is it that patriotism came to be the one virtue it is impermissible to question?

Could it be, Greggie -- just spit-ball this with me -- that "questioning patriotism" hurts Democrats whereas all the others tend to hurt Republicans, and that is why questioning patriotism -- and questioning no other virtue or passion -- has become, in the media's eyes, the one impermissible tactic in campaigning?

"Questioning patriotism" is impermissible only because the MSM claims it to be, and they claim it to be such precisely because Democratic politicians and the leftist commentariat insisted it should be from 2001 to the present.

How come the media gives the left -- and itself, of course -- a "pass" on that, Greggie?

Oh... Bear in mind this is the same TPM that breaks out its "racial attack decoder ring," as Allah calls it, every time a Republican opens his mouth.

And of course TPM and the leftosphere is usually able to push these charges right into the MSM -- into the NYT, the "Paper of Record" -- within 24 hours of making them.

Yeah, the media is really stacked against you guys all right.

Am I to understand that "questioning patritotism" is off-limits whereas constantly claiming someone is a racist is perfectly acceptable grist for the mill?

1 You really got to read the comments - it's a massive whine tasting with no cheese. Some real howlers. Sample:

The robber baron media is as entrenched in the "old school' mindset as the beltway is. This is a perspective that is as moldy as McCain. It hinges on notions like "Don't speak ill of the dead." Respect your elders." Silly business of that sort. It's why Bob Schieffer nearly had a stroke when Wes Clark suggested that POW status isn't a qualifier for the Oval Office. It rankles all of the ingrained pedestrian notions that require only knee-jerk responses, not thought.
They FEEL honest and that's all that these prosaic, self congratulatory sorts require in their self review.
After all, they have risen in the halls of power, that is their "proof" of meritorious capacity.

Ohmygodthey'recompletelyretarded.

Having a little buyer's remorse over there, Obamatrons? Good.

4 "These idiots know damn well the media leans left..."

I'm not convinced that that is the case for all on the left.  In my experience with the left, I have known many who view anything short of calling for the establishment of a Marxist utopia NOW as shilling for the right.  Feminists often see any criticism of even their most strident BS as evidence for the "right wing media."  Many Marxists that I have dealt with consider "The Nation" to be a wimpy moderate magazine.

The other day a faculty member who is heavily involved in all the campus indoctrination that goes on, particularly with freshmen, in classrooms, orientation, and residence hall workshops, etc, was justifying it based on the need to counteract all the conservative inculcation the kids have received from the media and, worse, their parents.
But I don't doubt that a lot of folks just punt that claim out there for the balanced defense.

“Obama is pivoting toward a more combative style, rebuking the Republicans for habitually turning differences over policy into questions about patriotism, a habit he said John McCain has readily embraced.”

They of course then went on to provide the evidence of McCain doing this, thus proving he embraced it.  Right? Right?

Its just become so standard.  Its the method they use for the swiftboat vets.  You have your declaration of "They're lying its completely false."  Never actually say where the lies and falsities are.  You never need to prove it was a lie, and after awhile it just becomes "the debunked claims of blah blah blah."  It'll be done with the new Obama book that Corsi wrote.   Nothing in it will actually be analyzed, and it will all be whitewashed (racist!) as a smear with no truth.  But you will never hear any of the claims the book made and the evidence to disprove.  And so it will go with this.  Obama has claimed McCain questioned his patriotism, so it is now accepted fact that he did.  Nevermind if you can't come up with actual instances of it.

9 Greetings: Many years ago, I had a temporary job with the Federal government adjudicating worker compensation claims. One of things that I was taught to keep a weather-eye out for was referred to as "subjective reports of pain." This referred to medical reports in which the examining physician found no objectively verifiable indication of injury and was basically just reporting the patient's own words. It seems to me that Senator Obama asserts a patriotism that is not exactly objectively verifiable. He may, in fact, be patriotic, but that is an internal emotional state for which he certainly wants us to take his word. His political ambition, on the other hand, has been objectively verified by both his political tactics and his ongoing efforts to gain higher offices.

11 I just tune ALL these things out now. What Obama has already successfully done for the charge of racism (ie. make it almost totally meaningless and ineffectual), he is now determined to do for the 'don't question my patriotism' meme.

When the objects of your complaint are too busy laughing to pay serious attention, I think you have to say that the complaint has pretty much used up its shelf life.

I'm sure that Obama did not intend to defenestrate the 'racism' and 'patriotism' gambits. He and his 'friends' desperately need them.

But he has.

So ---- Thanks Barack. You done good.

12 Yeah, the thing I keep coming back to over and over with obviously un-patriotic leftists who deny it is that I cannot imagine how they'd be any different if they were suddenly to admit their lack of patriotism.  How much worse could they be?

You can't question Obama's patriotism -- he wore a freakin' flag pin at the VFW speech yesterday for goodness sakes!

Now Obama of October 2007 would question Obama of 2008's patriotism, but you can't.

You racist.

Posted by: hit and run at August 20, 2008 09:53 AM (jjNS6)

14 So, being an instinctual blame America first, with heavy sympathies for communist dogma, anti-American terrorism, and racial grievances, isn't being unpatriotic.  Obama should embrace it, to do otherwise makes him sound wishy washy.  Every answer is a criticism of America's failings.  Hell, his Berlin speech praised Berliners more for their cargo-cult like anticipation of American goods falling from the sky than for the American determination that made it happen.

BTW, America's greatest moral failures do not include stinginess or not helping people.  Instead, these failures include abandoning South Vietnam in 1974 and the abandonment of Kurds and Shiites in 1991.  Captain Uh would gladly repeat those failings again by abandoning all of Iraq to AQ.

If, say during a nationally televisied debate for instance, John McCain openly challenged Bucky HopeNchange's patriotism? Like, maybe by saying something like, "I am no longer comfortable with questioning your judgement, so I am therefore forced to question your patriotism..."?

Well, I'd happily and cheerfully vote for him.

I do question it - I think he's a socialist, citizen-of-the-world tranzie and any love he has for America is conditional on his getting elected President.  In his own mind he has inverted JFK's "ask not" mantra.  I think he reflexively takes the side of America's enemies rather than her allies. 

I don't think this is because he has a funny name or went to school in Indonesia;  I think this is because he is a typical hard-left, knee-jerk liberal, who went to Ivy League schools and lives in Hyde Park and frankly isn't bright curious enough to question the leftist assumptions he has been fed by his surrogate parents, teachers and political mentors.  The people who support him most ardently (DUers, KosKidz etc) revel in their very Anti-Americanness, lack of patriotism and preference for the enemy, so they must see something kindred in Obama.

I've been reading David Freddoso's book and am nearly incoherent with anger that the bloody Democrats are about to nominate this charlatan as their candidate for President.  Any substantive criticism is out of bounds - anything other than cock-gobbling worship is a "personal attack", "old politics" and "doesn't help Michelle's children".

Here's what Republicans get accused of in every election, right down to the city council level, and it's never questioned by the MSM:

1. Shilling for Big Business (i.e. not supporting massive tax increases and regulations on corporations and small businesses that employ 90% of Americans)

2. Intolerance (i.e. not supporting sexual perversion and same sex marriage, or illiegal immigration)

3. Sexism (i.e. not supporting abortion on demand)

4. Hatred of the poor (i.e. not supporting massive government giveaways)

5. Opposition to public schools (i.e. opposing the NEA and supporting school choice)

6. Raping the environment (goes without saying)

These memes are repeated ad nauseam by Democrats every single fracking year.  Why is it that only Republicans get called out for pushing their own memes that Democrats are generally traitorous tax-and-spend surrender monkeys?

That's why they feel to comfortable to go on the dumb benders attacking McCain's cross story that could be disastrous for them if the media actually reported and revealed their vile desperation. The lefttards know the MSM won't report on their retardations in order to protect O! and will not assist McCain in additional POW reminders and would ONLY cover it if the leftards did uncover some detrimental to McCain aspect. The leftards have MSM journalists on the private political strateeegery email list serv, Townhouse for godsakes.

I would like to see McCain say on a nationally televised event: "Barry, you do not have the judgement or experience to be President of the United States". And then challenge Barry to debate the point in a nationally televised debate in a town hall format with NO prearranged questions and NO media "moderators'.

Barry would sink like a stone.

24 #9: It seems to me that Senator Obama asserts a patriotism that is not exactly objectively verifiable. He may, in fact, be patriotic, but that is an internal emotional state for which he certainly wants us to take his word. His political ambition, on the other hand, has been objectively verified by both his political tactics and his ongoing efforts to gain higher offices.

Interesting thought - it's a theme I addressed today in part elsewhere on the web.  The Dictionary.com definition of "patriot" is "a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion."  Your  observation regarding an internal emotional state directly addresses the issue of  love of country:  It's empirically unmeasurable.  Supporting and defending one's country, though, are external acts that can be quantified, and it appears as if Senator Obama has no currency to spend on these issues.  I have yet to see him praise the US without some sort of qualifier, and he's constantly talking about (paraphrased) returning the US to its former glory.  I've never seen him unequivocally defend the country. 

When Sen. Obama says, "Now it is time for [Senator McCain] to acknowledge that I [genuinely want to serve America's national interests]. Let me be clear-I will let no one question my love of this country," he is plainly and publicly demanding Sen. McCain acknowledge his patriotism.  The facts do not appear to support an objective determination that Sen. Obama is in fact a patriot, though, and Sen. McCain is not obligated to campaign for Sen. Obama.  Sen. Obama's rhetoric is presumptuous, disingenuous, and altogether insubstantial.

Thus far, he has successfully used his 'victim' status as a shield, which has allowed him to shield past activities and affiliations from scrutiny other candidates would face, and further his own belief that he is preaching from the high ground when fumbling after an attack.  The strain of hiding what he has been while trying to be everything to everyone has to be tremendous, and every now and then, the mask slips.  If the worst case scenario comes to bear, and he gets to sit in the big chair, expect more "Can't I just eat my waffle?" moments when someone comes to him with a difficult issue that doesn't require him berate and apologize for America.

I think the reason members of the media get their panties in such a bunch over the patriotism issue is that they are, predominantly, unpatriotic.  They like to say they love their country, but its the kind of immature love that is all expectations and rights, and no obligations and responsiblities.  The indignation, or heartache, is the consequence of their own perpetual adolescence and immaturity.  Is there anything more petulant than a teenager accused of a deed he did in fact commit?

Several commenters including not_steve hit upon it; it's worse than the righteous indignation of "having their patriotism question", it's the deeply hidden resentment of having to "defend" themselves of something they in fact deeply revile.
