Applying the phrase 'where there is smoke there is fire' is essentially saying that if you tell a lie often enough, it becomes truth.

Not the same. How often do the tabloids get a story that no one believes because of the source, but turns out to be true. Mostly Hollywood stuff, which who cares!, but I'm just saying it happens all around us. Pay attention a little more and you will notice. Rumors are based on truth a lot of the time.
Fact is the guy hates everything about this country and "wants to change the fundamentals" of this country. Damn he says 'fundamentally' a lot!!

Here is a fact. Statements like "the guy hates everything about this country" place you in a fringe category along side those who love and support ACORN.

I happen to think Obama is a terrible president in terms of his Progressive agenda like that of Nancy Pelosi and others like them. With that said I truly believe he loves America. America is great because of its freedom's and that includes the freedom to be a Progressive. When you make statements like the one above you marginalize yourself.

Just some friendly advice.

It is exactly the same. If I said "Elvis is alive and working in a burger joint" often enough, it would be picked up by a tabloid, which is your example above. Nobody would believe the source, as you said, but it wouldn't turn out to be true, the opposite of your suggestion. False rumours are still false. When you read that tabloid, and say "Well, where there is smoke there is fire" you are essentially rewarding someone who told a lie often enough. How about applying some critical thinking to the nonsense being sprouted by the press (and I use the term press very loosely)?

Freedom and Capitalism. He was quoted as saying the Constitution is a bill of negative rights. Something about it not letting the Government not having enough power. His wife "some people will have to give up a a piece of their pie so that others can have some" Tell me what that says about them :yikes:. Now I know that you leg tingles when you hear him talk :rofl: so this conversation will go no further. "Its like he is above it all, like he is floating above the earth looking down, almost God like" :bustingup

The Clintons love America, would take us in the wrong direction IMO but I believe they LOVE AMERICA. No one can do and attempt (he hasn't gotten anything past thankfully) the things he is and be able to say he loves this country.

I'm done.
