    It's like you should start reading things twice before you post shit like this...

    1. In this statement, you say: "Note in this article,they make it sound like he owns the place,not renting it." Point to a place in the article that backs up what you're saying, because the article mentions twice that he's renting it, and then goes on to call it a "pricey vacation"... but no where is an implication of ownership. The article even cites the owner.

    2. "Thats why the 4$million tag is repeatedly mentioned"... It's mentioned ONE TIME in the article. ONE TIME.

    3. "the fact that he's only renting it for a family vacation is glossed right over." THERE ARE THIRTEEN PARAGRAPHS IN THIS STORY. FIVE OF THEM CONTAIN TOPIC SENTENCES THAT SAY THANKSGIVING OR VACATION.

    4. "Renting a pad like that,for the weekend,should be well within a US Senators price tag..." Probably, but not the point of the article.
    5. "But it doesnt read like that does it?" No it doesn't. But that's not the point of the article, the point is that he portrayed himself as a "working class hero" and "average joe" when in fact he's someone who vacations at the same place a lot of the wealthy elite vacation.

    It's just another article pointing out how politicians get elected on deception, and I have no idea why it got under your skin so bad.
    Actually you should learn to read,its mentioned twice,once right in the banner headline,thats supposed to be the eye catcher
    IN THE ARTICLE... YOU FOLLOW ME? IN THE ARTICLE IT SAYS 4 MILLION ONE TIME.
    "...went 12 rounds with Ali, and never took a backwards step."

    Agreed, most people only read the headline. But, I specifically stated "in the article."

    Agreed, most people only read the headline. But, I specifically stated "in the article."
    But again,when I got the article,it was bundled with a collection of other articles from NewsMax(yes I get NewsMax bulletins),more then half of the people who get those bulletins are only going to skim the headlines. Creating an unfair and untrue image. Since it was from NewsMax I allready doubt the veracity of the story itself, but how many other people arent even going to open the article to read it? And just assume the banner headline is factual? And if the story gets any traction, how soon until its being bloaviated about by Rush,Hannity,and Oreilly.
    There's a great book on the subject of insinuation by David Brock "The Right Wing Noise Machine" if you know what your looking for, you can actually watch it function. It gets kind of obvious.
    First a fringe place like NewsMax or the dearly departed Talon puts up the story(sort of like the National Enquirer for the right wing) then Limbloat and Hannity start barking about it,now even though there wasnt a real story in the first place,the national media pick up on the story so they dont seem "liberal biased",next thing you know,there's a public impression. But then you go back and track the story,and it wasnt true in the first place. But too late,now the public knows its true.
    Did Al Gore claim he created the internet? No he took credit for pushing for funding for the military Eathernet, which would become the basis for the internet.
    Did Al Gore claim he created the Superfund? No actually the often misquoted speach gives credit to a girl from Tennessee for alerting him to the toxic waste dumps in this country,He did chair the initial Superfund congressional hearings
    Did John Kerry act in dereliction of duty in Vietnam. Well according to everyone who was actually there, he acted quite heroicly
    Is Barrack Obama a secret muslim? No actually he's a christian whose mother is a white woman from Kansas.

    But what did you actually think the awnsers were,planting that little seed in your head cost someone a whole lot of money.

    ]This is a problem with the entire news media. Blame the public for letting them continue to do it.

    ]Al Gore is more a victim of Saturday Night Live than any Republican noise maker.

    ]John Kerry is a patriot and I voted for him in 2004. It was funny, immediately after the elect it was suddenly "found out" that his service was credible.

    ]"Barry" Obama has plenty of ties to Islam, namely his association with Khalid al-Mansour and the fact that he was educated as a Muslim, and his immediate family was Muslim, his mother married two Muslim men, and didn't become a Christian until he was in his early 20's. And don't get me started on what type of "Christianity" he decided to follow... he and Mitt Romney were both terrible choices just based on their associations with either radical or just completely crazy religious practices/theology.

    Is Obama a practicing Muslim right now? No idea, but it's impossible to seperate him from Islam.

    So do Bush and Cheney for that matter.
    He never went to a madrassa,( a rumour that found traction) his mother nor grandparents who raised practiced Islaam(the rumour was he was raised a Muslim)
    And even if he was(which he wasnt) who really cares,there are tons of practicing muslims in the US who some how feel un-compelled to blow up buildings

    I should add here,he war raised catholic and ended up settling on a version of protestantism which last I checked would encompass 99.9 percent of our past presidents,barring Richard Nixon (a Quaker,well sort of) and John Kennedy(a Catholic)
