In yet another case of “m-fer” cons trying to infopimp outright lies that are easily debunked, notorious Aussie conservative and m-fing bigwig Rupert Murdoch hopes to help Sen. Hillary Clinton’s quest for the Democratic nomination with some bullpuckey about Sen. Barack Obama’s victory speech after the recently held Iowa caucuses. As if lying about Sen. Obama’s upbringing and his Christian faith weren’t enough, now they need to lie about something as simple as musical selections at rallies?

A bald-faced lie from Mr. Murdoch’s New York Post “Gossip” page (maybe “gossip” has something to do with it being a complete lie… still):

January 14, 2008 — PRESIDENTIAL hopeful Barack Obama claims to run a clean campaign, but someone in his camp took a swipe at Hillary Clinton through the candidate’s theme song. [U2 and Stevie Wonder are controversial?]

As Obama and his wife, Michelle, strolled triumphantly into his victory party in Des Moines, Iowa, on Jan. 3, Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” was blaring. In it, Jay raps, “I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one.” [Umm, didn't happen liar.]

Some listeners took it as a not-so-sly reference to Hillary. [What "listeners"? The song wasn't played.]

“We didn’t know he used that,” a shocked Clinton spokesperson said. [Because he didn't. Shocking, I know.]

Unfortunately for Mr. Murdoch (and the unnamed Clinton staffer who plays along), not only were people there but TV cameras were also filming and the Boston Globe already noted the playlist (no rapper in sight):

At the rally when Obama was more than a half-hour late, Thompson, an Austin, Texas, native, had the responsibility to keep the crowd happy and anticipating. To help do that, he mixed in oldies with some newer choices by Natasha Bedingfield and India.aire, keeping the message close to Obama’s themes of hope and possibility.

Here are the songs on the Obama playlist on Saturday:

  1. Marvin Gaye, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
  1. John Parr, “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”
  1. Tina Turner, “The Best”
  1. The Doobie Brothers, “Takin’ It To The Streets”
  1. Earth, Wind & Fire, “Shining Star”
  1. O’Jays, “Give The People What They Want”
  1. Sam and Dave, “Hold On I’m Coming”
  1. Kool & the Gang, “Celebration”
  1. Natasha Bedingfield, “Unwritten”
  1. The Isley Brothers, “Shout”
  1. The Temptations, “Get Ready”
  1. India.aire, “There’s Hope”
  1. McFadden and Whitehead, “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now”
  1. Staples Singers, “I’ll Take You There”
  1. Orleans, “Still The One”
  1. Sly and the Family Stone, “Everyday People”
  1. The Doobie Bros., “Long Train Running”
  1. Stevie Wonder, “Sir Duke”
  1. John Fogarty, “Centerfield”

Also noted: Obama took the stage to U2’s “City of Blinding Lights,” and he departed to Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.”

Sounds like a decent, uplifting playlist suitable for any political gathering (left or right).

Why do these “m-fers” continue to promote blatant lies as if honest folks can’t just go online and tell the truth?! How stupid do m-fer conservatives think Americans are?

What’s next? Will conservatives claim they heard Sen. Obama cussing while ordering iced tea, m-fer?

(For those who don’t get the joke and are wont to complain, the multiple “m-fer” references are to conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly’s racist “observations” about black folks eating dinner in a restaurant.)
