No, Obama is NOT Tied to Idiot Blagojevich

This, of course, doesn't stop right-wing media clowns and liars from attempting to do so. The invaluable Eric Alterman utterly destroys the latest attempt here. Key section:



We also learn below that not only did the governor constantly complain about Obama's refusal to play ball with him, but also, via Lynn Sweet in the Chicago Sun-Times, "Blagojevich was under a cloud during Obama's entire presidential campaign, and the Obama team kept him at a distance. The Illinois governor never stumped for Obama -- they did not want him -- and unlike other Democratic governors, he did not play any significant role in the campaign." What's more, "In a sequence of events that neatly captures the contradictions of Barack Obama's rise through Illinois politics, a phone call he made three months ago to urge passage of a state ethics bill indirectly contributed to the downfall of a fellow Democrat he twice supported, Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich," Mike McIntire and Jeff Zeleny write in The New York Times.

Don't let the Right's lies continue. Attack their falsehoods at EVERY turn.

If this had been the Republicans, you would be screaming for a Federal investigation.

Yes, because if it were a Republican being investigated, Bush would have long since killed the probe.

If this is the same anonymous that keeps trolling Mr. Miller's blog, grow a pair.
