Taylor Marsh in 2007, predicting Obama's Social Security capitulation

Obama is Not the Anti-Hillary


by Taylor Marsh


Posted: November 12, 2007 02:57 AM



...This guy is so far off the Democratic party reservation I don't know where he's planting his primary flag, but it's nowhere a progressive Democrat or our party should willingly go.

It's bad enough that Mr. Obama continues to use wingnut talking points on Social Security. My friend Dave Johnson said it well yesterday: Senator Obama, Please Stop Echoing Right-Wing Lies About Social Security! Paul Krugman asked nicely, Why, Barack, Why?, then took him out.

But a determined defense by progressives in the media, on the blogs, and in Congress beat back one spurious argument after another, while the American people made it clear that they really want a program that guarantees a basic retirement income that doesn't depend on the Dow. And Social Security survived.

All of which makes it just incredible that Barack Obama would make obeisance to fashionable but misguided Social Security crisis-mongering a centerpiece of his campaign. It's a bad omen; it suggests that he is still, despite all that has happened, desperately seeking approval from Beltway insiders.

Lying Clinton hack, Taylor Marsh, exposed by Las Vegas Sun

<..> Incident at Paris Las Vegas (UPDATED)

... about a claim by two union Clinton supporters that a co-worker had been intimidated into supporting Obama -- even though the co-worker denied she had been intimidated -- and turned it into something much larger and far more sinister...

Culinary Union Intimidating Members to Vote for Obama.

The only problem: once again, Marsh was lying.

5. So some are more concerned with being right, than waiting for the
facts? Gotcha.
