The Method to His Evasiveness

Recently, in the comments under my posting of the Sarah Palin debate flowchart, I called on our readers to point me to some good anti-Obama graphics. Adam in Texas, who calls in to the show and posts comments here regularly, took the challenge to heart by actually creating one of his own. And I have to say, I think his Barack Obama Associations Flowchart pretty damn clever and very well-constructed. Judge for yourself…

There is one glaring factual inaccuracy, which is the suggestion that Bill Ayers tried to murder people with his bombs, or that he has stated he wishes he had committed murders. That’s quite far from reality, as Adam well knows, but I guess in this age of propaganda, it’s what we wish our adversaries said or thought or did that matters, not so much the truth.

Anyway, I still thought that was a damn good graphic. If anybody else has treats to share, send them to me at myfirstname @petesbigmouth.com (my first name is Brian).

    I don’t think it’s quite that far from reality, Brian.

    ”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.” Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970’s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground

    He went underground in 1970, after his girlfriend, Diana Oughton, and two other people were killed when bombs they were making exploded in a Greenwich Village town house.

    This particular bomb was meant for an officers club dance. The bomb was packed with Nails intended to kill people.

    We must not forget this nation was formed when men with 2 legs and 2 arms and small arms decided the “government” was bad for them and for business. They took up arms and took shots at the British Army who were in fact not much different from the Army of the USA today. They had had enough of the tyranny. They took up arms against the LAWFUL government.
    Thomas Jefferson said:
    “God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
    The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
    wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
    they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
    it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
    And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.It is its natural manure.”

    WIll you sheeple go along quietly to the camps and the soup lines?

    Now can the right wingers stop whining that they are not getting enough time on Pete’s Show? When will both sides stop complaining about the media and just step up and do the right things?

    Oh and this graphic, horribly inaccurate and disturbingly xenophobic.
