“sarah p” seems awfully illiterate for someone working as a professional in marketing for a presidential campaign, particularly one as well-financed as Obama’s. You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to do marketing, but any outfit that the Obama campaign would hire expects people to know the difference between one’s “conscious” and “conscience” (hint: the former is psychological, the latter is spiritual), “moral” and “morale,” as well as basic grammar, punctuation and spelling. Marketing is full of English majors who failed to become real writers, but they do know how to write properly. This comes off as the work of a person who first learned to write in the age of IMs and text messaging.

Shouldn’t we do something here like Ted Barlow suggested when Jonah Goldberg was hyping similarly ridiculous and anonymous smears about Kerry? That is, let’s flood rightwing blogs with fiction about the Obama campaign’s tactics — make it plausible to the ‘wingers, but throw in something that would be obviously ridiculous to anyone who stopped to think. I’ll send my 18-month-old iPod shuffle to anyone who can get Limbaugh to tout his/her made-up story on his radio show.

Remember when Obama suspended his campaign to visit his sick grandmother and right wing nutters claimed he was rushing to Hawaii to plant a forged birth certificate?

Well Obama is going to suspend his campaign for a few hours to trick-or-treat with his daughter, aka in wingnut parlance, reaffirm his signed contract with the devil with a human sacrifice.

I don’t forget stuff. I remember all the crazy stuff people have been saying about Obama, and I’m going to hold it against those crazies for the rest of their lives.

Look, it was bad enough when a bunch of Republican partisans failed a big moral test by supporting GW Bush’s endorsement of the use of torture and secret prisons. But the outright crazy, unhinged shit they’ve been peddling about Obama, while not morally worse, is indicative of a deep-seated dishonesty and gullibility in service to such a disaster of an ideological movement that I can’t help but think that the anti-Obama talking points represent deep personal failures on the part of the perpetrators. And I’m not going to forget “where they were” in 2008.

I have to disagree with Jaytea’s conclusion, is it possible that Obama is flush with cash because he hasn’t wasted it, and is it possible that McCain wasted his money on just this type of crap. I submit that JayTea probably stumbled across this story while surfing various right wing nutblogs, and that the story was possibly posted by someone working for the McCain campaign. Could Wizbang be a McCain funded site???!!! Gasp.

From Atlas Shrugs – “Barack Hussein Obama Jr Malcolm X Barack Hussein Obama Sr. Barack Hussein Obama Sr., Tom Mboya, and Philip Ochieng, all share common physical features of the Kenyan Luo tribe: Modest stature under six feet, round faces, small chins, wide set eyes, slanted back foreheads, and retracted hairlines…none of these features are shared by Malcolm X and Barack Hussein Obama Jr.”

Nazi science at its finest.

I couldn’t read it all – it’s almost as long as Atlas Shrugged. Did they forget to mention his stint in a Madras? Maybe I’ll get to that part.

So I went to Wikipedia like they ask and read the blurb about the road to serfdom. Here it is –

“Hayek argued that within a centrally planned economic system, the distribution and allocation of all resources and goods would devolve onto a small group, which would be incapable of processing all the information pertinent to the appropriate distribution of the resources and goods at the central planners’ disposal.”

It’s supposed to be a description of socialism but it sounds like monopoly capitalism to me. Pissed off.

“Oh. My. God. This is now officially my favorite post ever at wizbang. Kevin, I think you should make it your personal crusade to uncover this vast left wing conspiracy before it destroys America!

Good luck and Godspeed.”

And here’s our good friend Kim Priestap suggesting that McCain’s campaign should get a boost from Osama bin Laden:

It seems Osama bin Laden wants Barack Obama to win…This ties nicely into John McCain’s national security message that he discussed on the campaign trail this morning.

The point of all this is that it ain’t just that one post at Wizbang. The place is a cesspool of panicky, desperation.

Jay Tea, any comment?
