During the Governor's race in Virginia this summer and fall, there was a bit of discussion of Republican Bob McDonnell's Master's thesis, written 20 years ago when he was 34. That was a REAL document, in which McDonnell said some very odd things about not being sure that there is a legal right for married couples to use contraception, and that government policies should reward married couples and penalize gays and fornicators.
This past week, there was some discussion of a Barack Obama college paper in which he blandly discussed the concept of "redistribution of wealth". This however was a FAKE document that Obama never wrote, duh, even though Rush Limbaugh gleefully quoted from it before he realized that he had been suckered. Then he said, well, who cares, it's true even though it's fake.
Bob McDonnell is leading his Dem rival, Creigh Deeds a man much better qualified to serve as Governor, by several points, with only a few days left before the election. Barack Obama is still President, last time I looked, though he is hated in some circles. Life goes on.

Then please produce those papers or any other evidence than your confidence.
If Obama had publicly been videotaped advocating socialism in 2001 or 2003 it would have been all over the Republican campaign ads last year. Therefore, I question your assertion that he is all for socialism.
So your delusions don't matter to anyone interested in reality.
As usual, this is dishonest. "Gee, it's fake, but he still meant it." No, he didn't mean it, because he never said it.
And how quickly you forget that the 2001/2003 interview was also faked. The video was doctored to take lines out of context.
If you can't present a position based on honesty, maybe the position isn't worth presenting.
"It's not Obama's paper, but it's what he thinks therefore let's create a paper and put his thoughts on it."
How stupid and dishonest are you?
And that's not racist or bigoted, it's just reality. Some day you'll all wonder how you could have been so blind.
McDonnell is leading because the media only ran the information for a short time, Clusterfox prolly didn't even do a story on it---which is why the truth didn't get much power--not that clusterfox didn't run it, but because all of the media let it die---unlike the birther crap, the "socialism"/"fascism"/"communist" that is run against our President--and these people are so stupid, they don't even know the differences between the ideologies!
Only because the author claims it's a fake, but had he said it was authentic, the birthers would still be whining over it.
Inventing LIES and whining is the only thing they are good for, sick bastards.
Must be a very strange way to function in life. To have a set of false beliefs where you have to try to make reality fit it in some twisted way. Like trying your entire life to fit a square peg into a round hole. No wonder they make no sense when they speak. Their minds are so confused with trying to achieve this.
Reminds me of the 'does not compute, does not compute..' scene where the robot encounters something contrary to their programming and starts to fry its circuits.
Not so strange. More like the historical norm. I think in European culture the idea of questioning authority as a social good really didn't get started till the 18th century or so.
Furthermore, the thesis "The Republican Party's Vision for the Family," was not an "academic exercise of youth" as McDonnell claimed, but a manifesto of Republican social policy. It represented his thinking, and the thinking of the Republican party policy developers for who he was working, and it actively advocated for social policies that marginalized the role of women and restricted the rights of other members of society.
His career since that point has emphasized only slightly moderated views on social behavior, which he has sought to downplay in his run for Governor.
