1. The source, AND ONLY SOURCE, for this is the Michigan Messenger who today has a headline "Michigan Jewish Voters Targeted in "push poll" ...same folks who run the Messenger run the Washington Independent and just one look at either of these BLOGS will validate where they are coming from. In addition they share consulting firms with the Democratic party.
2. It, of course, was denied by the Republican party of Michigan and part of their statement said....
"I quite agree that IF the various Democratic Party committees were truly interested in ensuring that Michigan voters were not challenged based on foreclosure lists, then "best practices" would have included reaching out and suggesting a non-partisan approach to ensure such challenges are not made by either party (especially as the MI GOP had already publicly stated it will not engage in the practice). INSTEAD, the Democratic lawyers called a nationwide press conference to publicize a tactic they admit the Republicans have disclaimed, and filed a suit in Michigan and a letter with the Attorney General of the United States--all based entirely on a blog-reported statement by a single Michigan County chair who denied making it.."
3. That "Olberman" would pick this up and interview a man who actually knew not one thing about this specific incident is of course NO SURPRISE and I suspect that since you even mentioned it, you know his lack of credibility.
4. You mention Steve's "spin" yet you post a story from ONE BLOG....however should anyone post a story from other more mainstream blogs about your candidate you would yell loud and clear and there are many many of them, more serious and more credible than this one, therefore I find your "crtiticism" of Steve somewhat laughable. I dont know if it is true or not..if it is...shame on whomever did it, but your credibility is surely in doubt when you post a story like this from ONE SINGLE BLOGGER with questionable motives and credentials.
5. I am curious what the motivation to post such a story might be ? It has not validation...it is from ONE SINGLE BLOG on the internet....is this just to try make a point that the party that opposes your candidate is evil and your party is saintly. I just wonder what point was to be made ?????
6. I never once, but could be wrong, ever saw Steve say he was voting for Sen McCain because he was a POW nor do I recall him saying he was voting for Gov Palin because she is a woman, and I surely do not understand your remark to Steve "Time to start worrying about the rest of this country." From what I have read, Steve has served this country well and continues to do so and does not deserve this kind of rhetoric.
Again, if this report is true, it is wrong and should be stopped. I still dont get the purpose of posting this as you would rebuff any negative blog reports on Sen Obama and enjoy lampooning them !
