Barack Obama lies, falsely accuses Dobbs, Limbaugh of inciting hate crimes

At a Florida fundraiser yesterday, Barack Obama said this:

Code:

"A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There's a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year... If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it's not surprising that would happen."

Those statements are beyond reprehensible, and come close to accusing Dobbs and Limbaugh of breaking the law. And, the reason he did it is because he's completely corrupt, hoping to obtain political power by supporting illegal immigration. Rather than supporting our laws as a U.S. Senator should, he smears those who oppose law-breaking.

Moreover, Obama lied yet again. See how the SPLC's "The Year in Hate": http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/007591.html misled about FBI hate crime statistics. See also the FactCheck: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008 ... fight.html discussion of one of the February debates:

However, Obama was being overly dramatic when he said, "we have seen hate crimes skyrocket in the wake of the immigration debate."

That's saying a bit much. When we asked his campaign for documentation, they pointed us to the most recent FBI statistics, which actually show that the number of incidents classified officially as "hate crimes" went up 7.8 percent in 2006. (Figures for 2007, which would show what occurred during and after the highly charged debate on the House and Senate immigration bills last year, won't be available until much later in 2008.)

We think a 7.8 percent increase hardly qualifies as a "skyrocket." Looking only at the incidents in which Hispanics were targeted, "hate crimes" rose a bit more, 10.3 percent, but that's hardly a rocket-propelled rise either. Furthermore, the number of anti-Hispanic incidents fluctuates widely from year to year. During the last 11 years, the number of incidents nationwide has bounced around between a low of 426 in 2003 and a high of 597 in 2001, according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. It was 576 in 2006.

UPDATE: Here's a segment from the Lou Dobbs show on Obama's lie. Note the figures from the FBI that show that Obama lied, and note also that the Obama campaign couldn't tell them where Obama got his statistics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo03QlED ... 07708.html

Gee, if the relatively mild things that Rush and Lou have said caused this much increase in crimes against Hispanics, what does Obama think the result of Rev Wright's rantings has been?

I would like to see how American reaction compares with that in other countries. I would wager that many other societies have more aggressive reaction to illegal aliens entering their lands than Americans do--at least if they are aware of the problem.

The United States doesn't have to exceed the level of propriety that other countries have. When I say this to OBL individuals they retort "We need to show that we are better than that." Well. we already do. Our religion alone compels us to reach out to those less financially endowed. What for example does Confucian China do in foreign assistance? What does Hindu and Muslim India do? And our governmental policies continue that same attitude.

When Americans are stretched beyond a reasonable limit, it is inevitable that they will react.

Obama wouldn't play too well in Italy!

Gee where have I heard that before?

Lou Dobbs breaking the law, for what? telling the TRUTH.

If anyone is breaking the laws well, you want the LIST.
Bush for one he is the instigateor in all of this, he has encouraged these people to come here, through the back door and steal from the AMERICAN TAXPAYER.
Bush should be tried and convicted as well as all his little buddies.
They have all lied and encouraged these people.
So, he has broken the laws by abetting and aidding a crime.
