Perry Smear Campaign

[Ritty77]

Rick perry has been a candidate for President for about 4 days. Use this thread to document the attacks.

Hardball host Chris Matthews on Tuesday smeared Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry as "Bull Connor with a smile," referring to the segregationist Commissioner of Public Safety who famously used attack dogs and fire hoses on civil rights protesters in the '60s.

On Monday's "The Ed Show," the host edited Rick Perry - in mid-sentence, mind you! - to falsely accuse the Texas governor of making a racist remark about America's first black president...

MSNBC's Al Sharpton repeated the deception started last night on Ed Schultz' program claiming that Gov. Rick Perry referred to President Obama as "a dark cloud hanging over America". Breitbart.tv exposed the deception earlier today and revealed the video of Gov. Perry's full quote that proves he was talking about the nation's debt.

Despite the evidence, Sharpton went on his program this evening claiming that Gov. Perry was implying that President Obama was that "black cloud".

When you can't debate the message, attack the messenger. Same stuff. Next day.

Rick Perry, you mean Bush Jr.? The second coming of Bush? Bush II: The Wrath of Texas? Perry=M(Bush²)? Episode VI: The Revenge of Bush? Bush again?, but we just had Bush! ?

Larry, I take it you're being sarcastic.

[leisuresuitlarry]

Yes, just poking fun at the libs and coming up with nick names for their new Bush Poster Boy.

I was slightly concerned for you there for a minute.

This one comes from a Ron Paul supporter.

Perry stated that he’s not convinced by evolutionary theory and in Texas they teach both evolution and creationism in schools. That’ll give his opponents something to concentrate on.

Nope, the MSM isn't biased.

I find it interesting, and at the same time hopeful that some of the nation's most ardent conservatives are jumping on board this election. I believe that even some liberals are tongue in cheek with the encroachment of the progressives and their swamp like lifestyles and exploitations. Me thinks America might be turning back to God...just saying. And, if you think the media's rabid thirst for sensationalism was alive the last election, watch it this time. There are plenty of fish in the sea (so to speak) in the Republican arena, speculating and spending millions already to attempt to turn the tide in this country. If it isn't social conservatism, it certainly will be fiscal conservatism. Perry will be in their cross hairs, as will be Bachman. Perry's advancement of the evangelical ideology won't sit well with the media, to include Fox News. Actually, IMO, Fox News partook of the Obama mania because it was news and their support for him was clearly obvious. I used to scream at some of their comments, but then I remembered Murdoch and everything made sense. Make no mistake, Perry will take a beating simply because he mixes his spiritual walk with his political walk. Only God knows the outcome of this election. I pray for someone who walks with God because any other walk has proven to have too many thorns for my liking.
