    Liberals are certainly Americans. Just not very good ones.

    It is one in the same and you know it.

    You can't tell me a group of liberals sitting around in an editorial meeting aren't going to be at least a little bit biased in the way they think about covering politics or social issues.

    It is like this whole "Mitt Romney beat up some queer - who wasn't out until years later by the way -- guy 48 years ago, let's magically run it the day after Obama comes out for gay marriage....."

    You mean I am supposed to believe a story like that, which required that much legwork and research wasn't originally targeted for a Sunday edition - where readership is the highest - but was pushed up for the impact it might have?

    C'mon, don't be so naive.

    " . . . and you know it." is not an argument.

    You know BO's staff has stockpiles of similar strains of smelly history ready for launching.

    I mean, with the Ken Doll, it's just too easy.

    It was a pretty rough primary, and his Republican opponents basically hate the guy.

    Maybe the media finds out some more, but I doubt the Obama campaign has a stockpile.

    Opposition research is largely limited to going through news accounts, writings, speeches, and public records. It doesn't include independent reporting like the Post did to uncover this story.
