In the wake of the “Twitter Files,” let’s revisit former President Barack Obama’s warning last April about the spread of misinformation: “You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe.”
Does the “raw sewage” include when Obama falsely said, “The Cambridge police acted stupidly”; that “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”; and that racism in America is “still part of our DNA that’s passed on”?
Does raw sewage include the part in Obama’s speech before the United Nations when he invoked the lie of Ferguson; and when Obama embraced Black Lives Matter, a group founded upon the lie that the police engage in systemic racism against blacks? BLM, after the death of George Floyd, encouraged four months of deadly, violent protests even though the lead prosecutor, a black man, said in his opening statement that neither the police nor the Minneapolis police in general were on trial. He never argued that the officer defendant treated Floyd unlawfully due to Floyd’s race, and the officer was never charged with a hate crime.
Does the raw sewage include President Joe Biden, who, about Charlottesville, insists that then-President Donald Trump “said there were ‘some very fine people on both sides'” of the violent and deadly clash in 2017 even though Trump was referring to the debate about Confederate monuments in the public square?
Does raw sewage include Hillary Clinton and the late Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., calling Trump’s presidency “illegitimate”; when Democratic House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called Trump’s “so-called election victory” a “hoax”; when Jimmy Carter said Trump “was put into office” because of Russia; and when Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, claims she lost due to “voter suppression? Yet the media never accused these Democrats of promoting “The Big Lie.”
Does raw sewage include Clinton claiming Trump, about COVID-19, told people “to drink bleach”; when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists the southern border is “secure”; and when Dems say the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling “outlaws abortion,” though it sends the issue back to the states?
Does the raw sewage incude Biden’s many false claims, including: that he “had the great honor of being arrested” in South Africa trying to see Nelson Mandela; that he “was raised in the black church”; that he was involved in desegregating restaurants and movie theaters; that his son Beau “died in Iraq”; that his first wife and daughter were killed by a driver “who drank his lunch”; and that the Georgia’s new voting law “makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle” — yet, Georgians voted in record numbers?
Does the raw sewage include over 50 “former senior intelligence officials,” who — days before the 2020 election — asserted that the Hunter Biden laptop story had “all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation operation”; that Trump “colluded with Russia” to win the 2016 election; and that on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump committed “insurrection”?
Does the raw sewage include the claim that Trump was first to push the “racist (birther) lie” about Obama, when Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign actually started it?
Does raw sewage include Obama’s claim that his administration “had no major scandals”? Never mind the Clinton basement unsecured server on which Clinton sent and received classified information in clear violation of the Espionage Act. Yet FBI head James Comey said she “lacked the intent” to break the Espionage Act, though intent is not required.
Does raw sewage include the standard Democrat narrative that “the rich don’t pay their fair share” in taxes, even though the top 1% of earners pay 40% of the federal income taxes?
Does raw sewage include Al Gore’s 2006 prediction, “Unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return”?
Does the raw sewage include Attorney General Eric Holder referring to voter ID as “pernicious” racism, even though the majority of blacks support voter ID; when Biden called MAGA Republicans “semi-fascist”; and when Clinton called half of Trump supporters “deplorable” and “irredeemable”?
Someday, someone in the public square will have the guts to say that Barack Obama IS the pile of raw sewage he and the left are always warning us about.
That would be communist “raw sewage” that Obama, a communist, was referring to. The country is drowning in it.
Good points all, Mr. Elder. You have to understand, though, that Leftists like Obama use the same words but not the same dictionary. In their dictionary a “lie” is anything that casts the Left in a negative light even if is factually, objectively, true. By the same token, anything that furthers the Left’s project is “true” notwithstanding its objective falsehood.
Fast & Furious that claims his Dictatorship was without a single scandal
0bama’s “projection” of democrat behavior onto others, is tired and old. Their lies and accusations of the American people are depictions of their OWN foundational actions.
I still remember all the ‘raw sewage’ spewed forth by Obama and his hacks. They’re still around and still befouling the pure waters of truth.
I heard that Born Again Christian with the full on islamic name, that he changed from Barry to Baraka, after embracing Jesus as his Lord and Savior call Trump a narcissist and I really laughed at that one as I first watched Barry strut up to speak with the National Press and he reminded me of a Coked out Negro Pimp I often saw in Times Square NYC back in the early 1980s as he strutted up and down 42nd Street like he owned it as well as all the WHITE girls he used to feed his Cocaine habit, the white girls did all the sex work but he took all the money, a real low life piece of shit, just as egotistical as Barry boy..
Maybe it could have been his brother… brother..
Obama is the bastard son of a communist pornographer Frank Marshal Davis. Why else would Obama be sent to grow up with him in Chicago? Obama’s birth certificate is a clumsy fraud, No one remembers him at Harvard. In Chicago he was groomed and trained by 60s era communists. His rise from community organizer (communism) to POTUS is no accident. A puppet on a string was need to contain any Justice Dept. looking at the massive crimes of the Bush Administration. Obama did nothing else while in office. Everything he utters is BS, like most of DC.
Bigots are always shameless about their own lies and hypocrisies.
So Obama likes cooked sewage better? I’m not surprised.At least he sems to be telling the truth for once.
