There’s a mini-brewhaha forming over the use of a phony Obama image by WTKK’s Michael Graham on his website. Some Obama supporters are unhappy with the fauxtography, as it includes a backdrop of the late Cuban Marxist leader Che Guevara.
With so much bona fide political ammunition to use against Obama, especially his ties to radical fringe organizations engaging in voter fraud and other misdeeds, why fake images? It only serves to give uptight blue state snobs a reason to go on the offensive.
Particularly hard to defend is Graham’s response to complaints:
Please be sure to read the comments below, particularly those demanding I remove the photo above because, they “say,” it’s not real! What? Not real! Why, it’s as real as the claim that Sarah Palin charged rape victims for rape kits, or the Obama campaign’s ad claiming that John McCain is an anti-Hispanic bigot and supports Rush Limbaugh’s immigration policy.
One poster below suggests the photo above might be some kind of “joke.” Joke, sir? Didn’t you know that the Obama campaign has outlawed frivolity? Keep hope alive! Change can happen here! Long Live the Revolution!
After so many scandals involving ethics and honesty at WTKK, one wonders why they still seem to care so little about public credibility.
At the same time, the image really underscores the baggage issue that may yet deny Obama the presidency: had this not been pointed out as a fake, how many would draw that conclusion on their own?
Barack’s an extremist and the average person in this country simply doesn’t share his views. Whether he succeeds in scamming enough voters on election day is another story.
WTKK has nothing on WRKO when it comes to faking pictures of people like “Reese Hopkins.”
However, Brian couldn’t be more right. The best stuff is the stuff you don’t have to make up, and with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, the truth is much better than fiction.
If John McCain would only bring it up at Wednesday night’s debate, and say to hell with the moderator and the questions that no one cares about, except for liberals trying to protect Barack from Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, and Michelle Obama’s own words.
Late addition: Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson.
The more I see liberals squirm and claim that ties to Barack’s former and current associates “won’t work” against Barack’s campaign, the more I think a reminder of Barack’s friends saying, among other things, “G-D Ameri-K-K-K of A” would do John McCain’s campaign a world of good, if John McCain would say these things.
And since the liberals’ defense of such statements is that they “won’t work,” it’s time to hammer them home tonight and for the next three weeks! Let’s prove them wrong!
Sarah’s proven she wants into The White House.
Where’s proof John McCain wants the same?
This is a little surprising coming from about the closest thing we have around here to a respectable (BZ aside) radio station, but I have to say…
If That One is elected, I look forward to cutting him exactly the same amount of slack that the liberals have given George Bush the past 8 years. Now I can get in on some of the fun.
I’ll criticize and ridicule the guy at every turn. I’ll claim that his election was rigged. I’ll assume the worst about every policy that comes out of his administration and everyone he appoints to any post. I’ll pass around pictures of the guy’s face photoshopped onto chimpanzees and pictures of him pasted into photos with communist dictators (although those might be easy to find real ones of once he’s in), and I’ll find stupid “Obamaisms” (which will NOT be hard to find on a regular basis, despite what the YesWeCanHopeChangers think) and use them to accompany unflattering screen-grabs of him so that I can forward them around to all the demented Bush-bashers that I know.
At the very least, it’ll help pass the time during the terrible economic future we’re looking at when Obama-Pelosi-Reid are in charge.
I love it – the right-wing nutjobs are causing the poll numbers to move up for my man O and plummet for your guy John!
Keep up the good work, and my man O will win a majority, not just a plurality!
And Michael Graham is the number one rube on WTKKK, surpassing even Jay Severin. Graham still has hayseeds on the back of his Sunday-going-to-church suit, I bet… losah. Graham, go back to standup. I bet you were funny there (see my eyes rolling?).

Brian: I am not an Obama “supporter.” If you guessed whom I plan to vote for, I’m sure you’d get it right. But that doesn’t make me a supporter. I vote, but I support no one.
joe give it a rest with the reese comments you’re pathetic beating a dead horse for god sake
You’re giving beaten dead horses a bad name by comparing them to “Reese Hopkins.”
It’s interesting to note that Mr. Ayers has two pictures on his college office door: One is of a cop killer. The second is of Che Guevara. How appropriate. Didn’t Obama have a campaign headquarters in Houston Texas with a picture of Che Guevara on the wall? Isn’t Mr. Ayers a friend of BHO? Oh, I forgot. It’s just a coincidence.
How soon we forget. I was a neighbor of the Shroeders, who lost a father/husband to Lefty Gilday, (a member of the Weathermen and Ayers protege) in a Boston bank holdup/shootout. McCain isn’t afraid to renounce waterboarding. Why is Obama afraid to renounce Ayers? Every time he is mentioned, Obama starts dancing like Fred Astair. To this day, Ayers has not come out against the 9-11 hijackers. (He announced his support of them right after 9-11). This is shaping up as a long four years.
