owner59, that is exactly what the left did do. You must not have been paying attention back then, the Doonsbury guy even thought it was real. I remember when it was new, every link and footnote off the page went to a joke site. Great idea, lots of eyeball hits, somebody made a few bucks from it.
In reality the Military does give a test that is comparable to IQ to everyone, even pilots in the Air Nat Guard. Kerry and Bush both took the same test. Bush scored higher.
The left did no such thing.It was a joke,and a few people got fooled,and made retractions,including Trudeau.
That was it,no shenanigans,like what Fox news did,with a web site called"Insight"."Insight" is a wacko outfit owned by the Rev.Myung Moon(btw,the republicans love Moon,b/c he gives them so much financial support).Insight put out the bogus story,that Obama went to a Madrasa (the extremist schools that teach hate),and Fox and the right wing echo chamber repeated it and repeated it.Rush Limbaugh and the ditto-heads talked and joked about it,Hannity chimed in and they all got lots of mileage from this scumbag technique.

They all knew the story was bogus and still plowed on with this "swiftboating" of Obama.They all knew that putting Obama w/ terorist would work on people.This is as low as you can get,and it is pure rightwing.The douche bags at "Insight " also planted a story that Hillary Clinton was spreading this BS.And the righties buzzed over that lie too,for weeks.
This is how they(the rightwing underbelly types) do it.See link.

Don`t forget the major assholes who conflate Barrack Obama ,with Osama Bin Laden, and mentioning his middle name constantly,which is Hussein.

Hussein,btw,is one of the most common names in the Muslim world.Like Peter or Mary ,in our culture.But the assholes know how bigoted and small-minded there audience is,and repeat Obamas full; name,with and accent on the"Hessian"part.This way they create associations with Saddam Hessian, a Madrasah ,scary middle east types and terrorist.And it`s worked.The republicans still repeat this brand of bullshit,shamelessly.
Is that anything like the bush IQ story?Nope.There was no well financed leftwing group,planting bogus stories(like Insight).There was no coordination by news outlets(like Fox) to fan the fake story,and repeat it forever(like neo-con talk radio).No,just a joke(and a good one),and retractions,and people moved on.
So,....Let`s forget all about facts,call bush a retard,and make ya`ll defend it.
We`ll repeat it forever,you`ll act outraged and defensive,and we`ll lie some more.Soon,nobody will know what`s true, what`s what,who`s who,and so on.The story seems so believable,just look at bush.We won`t even have to convince people,and we`ll just let ya`ll get mad.Ha!Then we`ll say that the truth must fall somewhere in the middle,like so often happens.Ca`mon,let`s have fun w/ this!
But ya`ll don`t have to worry much.We(normal,middle of the road Americans) don`t do swiftboating,we don`t have to.The stories about the 5 republican hooker scandles are true enough.The stories about Plamegate,Gonzogate,the disaster in Iraq,bush`s failures are true and don`t need spinning or fake Fox news stories.
