The late gonzo journalist, Hunter S.
Thompson, added to American political lore when making a point about
unscrupulous politicians in his campaign chronicle, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail, '72.
The aide blanched, and objected. No one would believe a claim like that!
As
a young man running for office in Texas, Thompson wrote, Lyndon Johnson
needed to slow down a foe's momentum. And so LBJ ordered an aide to
spread the rumor that their opponent was "enjoying carnal knowledge of
his own barnyard sows."
"I know," Johnson was said to have replied, "but let's make the sonofabitch deny it."
It
was, said Thompson, "one of the oldest and most effective tricks in the
business. Every hack in the business has used it in time of trouble."

Fifteen military groups are opposing a federal lawsuit in Ohio
brought by President Barack Obama's campaign because they say it could
threaten voter protections afforded to service members, such as the
extended time they have to cast a ballot.
Obama's campaign and Democrats filed the lawsuit last month against Ohio's top elections official in a dispute over the battleground state's law that restricts early, in-person voting during the final three days before Election Day.
The campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party contend the law unfairly ends in-person voting for most Ohioans three days earlier than it does for military and overseas voters. http://www.mariettatimes.com/page/content.detail/id/248581/Military-groups-oppose-Obama-campaign-Ohio-lawsuit-.html?isap=1&nav=5018

Should government officials be able to block businesses from opening or expanding due to disagreement with the political views of the business’ executives? Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel evidently believes he should have this power:

Should government officials be able to block businesses from opening or expanding due to disagreement with the political views of the business’ executives? Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel evidently believes he should have this power:
The anti-gay views openly espoused by the president of a fast food chain specializing in chicken sandwiches have run afoul of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a local alderman, who are determined to block Chick-fil-A from expanding in Chicago.Obviously, it’s perfectly legitimate for private citizens to decide not to patronize a business with executives who have such views (I’d likely refrain from doing so in this case). http://www.salon.com/2012/07/26/rahm_emanuels_free_speech_attack/
“Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members. And if you’re gonna be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values,” Emanuel said Wednesday.
“What the CEO has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is not what I believe, but more importantly, it’s not what the people of Chicago believe. We just passed legislation as it relates to civil union and my goal and my hope … is that we now move on recognizing gay marriage. I do not believe that the CEO’s comments … reflects who we are as a city.”

Critics trying to shut Chick-fil-A because its CEO opposes gay
marriage are undermining the very essence of the Constitution, Mayor
Bloomberg declared today in a stirring defense of the embattled fast
food chain.
"It isn't the right thing to do and it isn't what America stands for," Bloomberg said on his weekly WOR radio show. "And those people who don't like (Chick-fil-A) don't understand their rights were protected by people who took a difficult position in the past and stood by it. They stood up so everybody else would be free."
The mayor, a staunch advocate of marriage equality, argued that Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy has as much right to his views as does the Catholic Church, which also opposes same-sex marriage.

White House considers executive order,
leaves Internet takeover a possibility
“Now, do I know that that’s true?” Reid said in the interview, which
also included his mention of the phone call, supposedly from an investor
in Bain Capital. “Well, I’m not certain.”
No biggie! Full steam ahead! He proceeded to assert that Romney’s net
worth is probably greater than published estimates of $250 million
because, he explained, “You do pretty well if you don’t pay taxes for 10
years.” And so a wild supposition was magically transformed into the given
from which yet another bit of speculation blossomed, and any concern
with provable information was long gone, a casualty of the craven rules
of political engagement these days. It’s beginning to seem as if
everyone’s at the prow of a Swift Boat, pants on fire and conscience on
ice. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/opinion/sunday/bruni-truculence-before-truth.html?_r=2&smid=tw-share

Ever since the solar manufacturing firm went
bankrupt, sinking last year with Obama's $527 million investment aboard,
it has been generally acknowledged as a policy and public relations
disaster. But now that the House Energy and Commerce Committee has
released thousands of emails between Obama administration officials and
key Solyndra players, the enormity of this disaster is becoming clearer.- http://washingtonexaminer.com/solyndra-takes-the-gold-for-crony-capitalism/article/2504047

leaves Internet takeover a possibility
The White House has left open the possibility of enacting its Internet agenda via executive order after the failed effort to bring the Democrat-supported cybersecurity bill to a full vote in the Senate last week.
Hadley Heath, a senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s
Forum, points to Pius X High School in Lincoln, Neb., which has sued the
federal government. The school’s administrators are “arguing that Pius X
would be forced to choose between compliance and shutting its doors entirely,”
says Heath. “The Obama administration shouldn’t be in the business of
reducing choices for the 5-plus million students who are currently
attending religious K–12 schools.”
Why would the school ever have to shut down? Because of the punitive fines that are to be levied for non-compliance with the controversial mandate. If the government decides to collect those fines, choosing conscience over Caesar’s edict would prove crippling to the likes of Pius X in dioceses across the country. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/313116/obama-s-poison-pill-kathryn-jean-lopez
