        Actually, no, he didn't. Harvard Law School has very high admission standards. His father didn't go to Harvard Law School. He attended on a graduate fellowship in economics.

        I'm not sure that's entirely correct.

        Also, judging by how well he did scholastically, and that he was the editor of the prestigious Harvard Law Review, and graduated at the very top of his class, I think admitting him was a sound decision for the high academic standards and legacy of the university.

        Mike Huckabee is just trying to muddy the waters here. He knows better.

      Mr Huckabee why must you make the baby Jesus weep with your lies?
      Is that what Jesus would do Mr Huckabee, lie about something to mislead people?

      Alright, we all know this is an attempt to create the illusion about President Obama being "non-american" or something alien. We could have paid down our national debt with all the money spent on promoting these lies.

      The sad part is this strategy works with so may americans. We foster this mistrust of government, we promote conspiracy theories. Worst of all we use marketing and branding for political gain.

      America is a fat druken trollop..craving more attention and drugs...Our demise started in the embryo of movement conservativism...how they encouraged pseudo-think tanks, pseudo science, fake religion and consumerism. We are a true fascist state thanks to republicans...ahhh the stench of lies....the reak of decay that fills my nostrils.

      Huckabee's remarks are so absurd that it is hard to know where to begin.

      Does anyone see the irony in condemning Obama for feeling guilty about pushing a girl decades after it happened, but excusing Romney for "forgetting" about leading a posse to assault a boy, because he had long, bleached hair?

      The media gave Obama a pass on past cocaine use, even though it was widely covered by the media when he was running for President. (The fact that the media learned about the incident by reading about it in the President's bestselling book is another irony.) Maybe we are misunderstanding Huckabee’s criticism. Perhaps, his complaint is not that the media failed to report the story at all, but that they did not cover it yesterday. Only Fox would consider Reverend Wright, Obama's cocaine use, and his passing acquaintance with Bill Ayres to be current. Someone should tell Fox producers that "news" contains the word "new".

      I am still marveling of the statement that the fact a person does not tell his sister or his parents about an embarrassing and traumatic event in college means that it did not happen. Great, months of my college life just disappeared.

      What about all the witnesses who participated in or saw the incident and, unlike Romney, remember and remain troubled by it?

      Of course, we also have the old stories about the former editor of the Harvard Law Review being a lousy student or Obama's a foreigner. Huckabee reminds me of the cowboys in the Pace Picante sauce advertisement who love to make fun of "city slickers". Hey, if you are not like me, you must be foreign or at least not a real American.

      Huckabee is delusional.

        Sean Hannity includes a nightly segment called "Vetting the President." His theory is that Obama's election was evidence that the media failed to do it's job in "vetting" the Democratic nominee for President in 2008, because if they had, of course the Great American People would never have elected him. Hannity's idea of "vetting" Obama is to drudge up all the cartoon villains of 2008- Ayres, Wright, etc.- and of course add Van Jones and assorted others- and retelling a series of whiny complaints which were aired and dismissed by 53% of the voters four years ago. I don't know why anyone finds any of it interesting in the slightest.

          It's a form of reinforcement. People confronted with reality that slips through the right wing filter during the day can tune into Hannity each night and have their fabricated world view reinforced.

        Jason Horowitz is the Post's Politic pages man on Romney. As a reporter on long-term assignment, it's not surprising this came up. Check the link and you will find pretty rounded coverage of Romney and his campaign. W.P. Co. considers the Post a newspaper and as such it's reporters have some degree of autonomy.

        That the Washington Post is "liberal" has been canon in the GOP since the Watergate Scandal. Of course, that wasn't the Post being liberal- just an example of two reporters doing their job as journalists, for which their paper (whose owner was barely supportive of their efforts, being closely attached to the establishment) has been forever damned.

        The Post wasn't pro-Obama in 2008, but it was anti-Hillary, which is why I stopped reading it that spring, after being devoted to it from the day I started attending college in the DC area 26 years earlier. It's basically pro-establishment and leans ever so slightly toward the Democrats, and is pro-Obama only in comparison to the rank Washington Times.

      The biggest whopper I heard last week was Marco Rubio's "there is more diversity in the GOP on the issue of abortion rights than there is in the Democrat (sic) party."

      This week, the prize goes to Brian Kilmeade, who told a guest "you know, even his critics admit that George Bush never cared who took credit for military victories, he never put the spotlight on himself...."

      Yes, he really said that about President Landing on an Aircraft Carrier in a Flight Suit and Telling a Reporter 'I flew it' before speaking under a Mission Accomplished Banner. The only unbelievable thing about these guys is that they keep managing to top each other.

      Because, in Huckabee's world, there's no way a POC could get into some of the best colleges in the nation, except by using some "unfair" advantage. We're not intelligent enough to get in because of our academic record. I graduated from the University of GA in 1974, after three years, but some of my colleagues, who had also graduated from UGA, were never able to accept the fact that I was accepted in the first place, or that I graduated in three years instead of four. They seemed to think that being a Black female automatically made me an affirmative action student. Never mind that I had good grades and a good SAT score or that I was on the Dean's List at UGA. Those were just flukes. It's pitiful that some people in this country continue to feel/think that race determines intelligence in the 21st Century. Although they see black teachers educating their kids, receive medical care from black doctors, have black persons handling their financial affairs, etc., they still refuse to acknowledge that Black Americans and other POC are intelligent individuals who contribute quite a bit to this society.

        This is what's so disheartening about the GOP. They're quick to point out statistically higher crime rates and jail populations of black Americans, but slow to praise black Americans who overcame diversity and poverty to achieve great things. Yet ironically and hypocritically, they are quick to condemn those who mention historic inequality and systemic discrimination as "America haters".

        If they really believed the "everyone can be rich in America" dogma they frequently employ, they would be citing the success stories, rather then trying to undermine them by making claims of "affirmative action president" and "immigrant admissions".

        Do they not want to see Americans of all colors and ethnic backgrounds make the most of their lives and talents and work together for a better nation? The evidence would suggest that they really don't.

        This is actually a sentiment that is being echoed by sheep on the right.

        Their main argument? "Obama hasn't shown us his school records so he MUST be hiding something. And what could he be hiding? The fact that his records were not as good as he claims the to be. After all he was a druggie and pretty much got to where he is today due to "federal assistance"."

        Conclusion? Obama is a fake. Based largely on something that they don't know, but utterly believe in.

        What does perfect propaganda mean? As you've seen through it so easily, how is it such a excellent example of propaganda?

        I mean we shoot down talking points daily. Just to see them return, sometimes the next day, sometimes by the same poster who had his talking points debunked. What advantage does propaganda do us when certified facts can be ignored so easily by your average wingnut?
