The introduction to conservative author David Freddoso's forthcoming book, The Case Against Barack Obama (Regnery), which Media Matters for America has obtained, is titled "The Rhetoric vs. The Reality" and purports to explain "why this book needed to be written." The introduction and first few pages of The Case Against Barack Obama, however, are marked by false and misleading assertions about Obama, accompanied by dubious citations.

I understand why the right-wing would attack Obama over his first election win. If the only way you could get ahead was by breaking the rules, wouldn`t you hate the guy who wins by enforcing them?

Obama got rid of old-style Chicago politics by being the one who enforced the rules. He obeyed the election law, and they didn`t. Hence, they got thrown off the ballot and he did not. If you cannot read and follow the rules, nobody but the old-school Chicago players would want you in govt anyway.

Good for you Obama!

What's the point of this post? You aren't going to change their minds with factual information. Facts don't matter, spin does. That's the Republican campaign MO.

Great article. Too bad none of the radical, fringe right haters will bother to read or indeed understand what they will surely attack. For them it's easier to spin than it is to accept. C'est la vie.

Why is Obama allowed to have supporters like the World Communists Party and the New Black Panther Party and still be the Democratic pick for president? Because he's black, that's why! He actually had the endorsement of the Black Panthers on his website for a few days. Can you imagine ANY white person running for president with an endorsement from the KKK? It's the exact same thing. BUT, because Obama is half-black he's allowed to get away with being an anti-white racist! Can you say "double-standard"?

  You act as if there aren't any unsavory organizations and charaters who support McCain without repudiation. Obama does not want nor seek their endorsements but you continue to put out this misinformation. Pathetic.

Interesting how you chose not to SUBSTANTIATE this claim. Just say what ever you want, and just as long as it reflects your kool-aid fueled, liberal beliefs, it must be true without having to backing it up, huh?

BACK IT UP!!!

IS THAT SO HARD?!!!

WHAT"S THE MATTER? DIDN'T READ THE BOOK?!!!

THIS IS AMERICA!!!

NOT WWII NAZI GERMANY!!!

What misleading assertions?!!!

What dubious citations?!!! Care to point them out for us?!!! I didn't think so, you just wanted to point out how much of a whinny liberal you are!!!

JUST BACK IT UP!!! Is that too much to ask?!!!

If reading this book doesn't substantiate every single reason why one should not to vote for Obama, I don't know what will.

If you actually read this book, it will undoubtedly make it clear that McCain is the only choice when compared to Barack. It will MAKE THE CASE, and you, as the jury, will be unanimous in your decision to not vote for Barack.
