<p><em><strong>Update:</strong> Dave of NoGod has apparently spoken to one of the men who participated in the rally &amp; is going to to be writing a post about the conversation soon.</em></p>
<p>Via <a href="http://www.atheists.org/nogodblog/index.php/2008/10/30/obama_aids_diss_atheists">NoGod</a> comes the story of Obama aids insisting on having the opportunity to make it clear that atheists are not welcome on the Obama bus at a recent presidential rally in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the run down.</p>
<p>A couple of Pennsylvanians recently attended a presidential rally in their home state where they submitted a question for McCain&#8217;s representatives about how McCain is going to reach out to the eight or so percent of Pennsylvanians who are atheists, agnostics and humanists.</p>
<p>McCain&#8217;s people said McCain would be everyone&#8217;s president regardless if they have faith or not.</p>
<p>The moderator then proceeded to ask another question of Obama&#8217;s representatives who insisted upon being allowed to answer the same question.  And they got ugly.</p>
<p>Don Miller pointed out that Obama has advisers for every group but atheists and agnostics and stated that there were no grand efforts to reach out to &#8220;a group of pagans&#8221;.</p>
<p>D. Paul Monteiro spoke of Obama&#8217;s religious beliefs and how he said &#8220;no&#8221; to people who wanted his support on church and state issues. He then followed it up by stating that Obama was not &#8220;some crazy wacko atheist trying to make sure that your children grow up to marry trees&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>These are not random assholes popping off at the mouth on their own time</strong>, but paid representatives of Obama and the DNC in their official capacities saying this kind of shit.  Imagine the firestorm it would&#8217;ve caused if it was any other group but atheists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bligbi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/naked-mole-rat.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://bligbi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/naked-mole-rat-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="naked-mole-rat" width="470" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>What else is there to say about <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Conventions/story?id=5676191&amp;page=1">this article</a> besides that? Charles Dolan, head of Cablevision and one of the people named in the article, donated $25K to the RNC in May of 2000 and 2002.  In June 2004 he gave $25K to the RNC.  In 2007 &amp; 2008 he gave thousands to Guiliani, McCain and Thompson.</p>
<p>Does that sound like a dedicated Democrat that is incensed with the Democratic party? How about  Donald Trump who gave Hillary Clinton a wopping $600?  What about Danit Aharon who appears to have given $25K to a group for John McCain in California and $10K to the RNC in addition $2300 to both John McCain&#8217;s primary fund and general election fund?</p>
<p>Is it possible that these people are liberals and progressives who&#8217;ve had it with the Democratic party? Or is it more likely that <strong>these people are Republicans</strong> who have donated money to the Democrats for reasons completely unrelated to actually supporting democratic ideas?</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s not like the information quoted above is something one has to dig for especially in this day and age.  I found this information utilizing nothing but the names mentioned in the article and <a href="http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml">this site</a> that lets you look up such information.</p>
<p>So what gives?  Why would ABC put up such an article?  I say it&#8217;s because we live in the day and age where the news agencies have taking to <em>creating</em> news not reporting it.  They don&#8217;t care if they&#8217;re outright lying.  They&#8217;re just hoping we don&#8217;t catch their asses.</p>
<p>And let&#8217;s face it.  A lot of people immediately trust anything they read/see in the news and once the story is out there &#8211; well, it&#8217;s out there.  The seed is planted.  The seed this time around is this.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The Democratic party is in trouble.  It&#8217;s losing people and money, especially money.  It&#8217;s just a matter of time before it&#8217;s declared dead so don&#8217;t even bother getting involved yourself because it&#8217;s dying. Dying we said!!!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s sort of like feminism.  It&#8217;s declared dead or dying every time some <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/27/AR2008082703400.html">dipshit</a> gets in the news for being a <a href="http://www.yourdictionary.com/dipshit">dipshit</a>.  The only exception is that the news agencies literally pull dipshits out their asses when it comes to the Democratic party.</p>
