Is the NY Times telling another "whopper" in an effort to take this election off message. I say "yes."


Update: while we agree that Romney should stay away from this story but, this blog and others must get the truth out.  I have listened to the recorded words of Jeremiah Wright,  charging Obama with making this bribe. Wright did, indeed, make the charge.   Case closed.  --  blog editor.

New York Times:    G.O.P. ‘Super PAC’ Weighs Hard-Line Attack on Obama  —  WASHINGTON — A group of high-profile Republican strategists is working with a conservative billionaire on a proposal to mount one of the most provocative campaigns of the “super PAC” era and attack President Obama in ways that Republicans have so far shied away from. . . . . .


You should know that Mitt Romney came out with harsh criticism of such a strategy.  I agree with the Governor.  This election must be about Obama's record.  To "go" with the latest Jeremiah Wright revelations (Obama's attempted bribe of the radical pastor) is to be taken off message and allow Obama to run for re-election without having to answer for his misdeeds and ineptitude over the years.    Obama has been doing everything possible to take this election off message.  Such a strategy is just "what the doctor ordered" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  if the Times article is true, that is.  

And that is the issue,  as I see it.  The SuperPac in question has come out denying this story (within the past 30 minutes).  And no one has stepped forward to validate the Times charge.   No one.    How many times have we seen the Left publish stories that are proven lies,  and proven to be lies within a matter of days.  

Is this another example?  Has FoxNews been sucked into another deception?  Maybe we should asked Herman Cain or Sarah Palin or George Bush for comment as to the possibility that all this is contrived.  


Update: even the supposed vermin responsible for hatching this plan,  has denied in this statement:  


 Joe Ricketts is a registered independent, a fiscal conservative, and an outspoken critic of the Obama Administration, but he is neither the author nor the funder of the so-called “Ricketts Plan” to defeat Mr. Obama that The New York Times wrote about this morning. Not only was this plan merely a proposal – one of several submitted to the Ending Spending Action Fund by third-party vendors – but it reflects an approach to politics that Mr. Ricketts rejects and it was never a plan to be accepted but only a suggestion for a direction to take. Mr. Ricketts intends to work hard to help elect a President this fall who shares his commitment to economic responsibility, but his efforts are and will continue to be focused entirely on questions of fiscal policy, not attacks that seek to divide us socially or culturally.  (compare this article at the NY Times)
