Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

The Prince of Darkness, Robert Novak, and The Case Against Barack Obama

September 19, 2008 05:05 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

Behind every New York Times bestselling author there is usually a great mentor. And for David Freddoso, author of the bestselling and controversial book The Case Against Barack Obama , that mentor is the Prince of Darkness himself, columnist Robert Novak. Freddoso worked for Novak for three years, and the two have remained close. So close in fact that Novak, who has been suffering from a brain tumor, came out to Freddoso's book party last night in Washington. Novak, now using a wheelchair, made a brief guest appearance with his wife and was in seemingly good spirits. He was greeted enthusiastically by the mostly conservative crowd, including our own Michael Barone.

Freddoso, a political reporter for the conservative National Review Online, called Novak "an amazing reporter and a great man" and thanked him for his solid advice over the years. While he was of course concerned for his mentor's health, he told our Nikki Schwab that Novak's "a machine."

"If anyone can survive this he can," Freddoso says.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

HELLO ALL, SO WHAT'S THIS "CASE" AGAINST OBAMA? I KNOW SOME CHRISTIANS BELIEVE HE MAY BE THE ANTICHRIST. I DON'T THINK SO, BUT I WANNA KEEP MY DISCERNMENT, SO I WOULDN'T RULE IT OUT. I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT WHERE HE IS FROM, I DO KNOW HIS DAD EITHER IS OR USE TO BE A MUSLUM. AND I KNOW THAT THE ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO COME FROM THE UK. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK ON THIS ISSUE. THANXS JENN-

NOVAK JUDGEMENT COMING SOON

It won't be long before Robert Novak shall answer for a life short on compassion and emphathy and full of vengence and politics. Our LORD awaits him and will judge him justly. Too bad Novak didn't fear the LORD while had the chance instead he mocked our LORD. Praise The Lord. Pity Novak and what waits him.

Just the Facts... Please

I would like to see a book written or a web link that contradicts "The Case Against Senator Obama" and not someone that tells me that they heard it was all lies in the book.

LOL! All I here is the statement "I have not read the book because I heard and read it was untrue opinions and lies about Senator Obama”.

Please read the book and then find factual information to verify the lies or the truths through other references or verify the author’s references about the book, "The Case Against Obama".

How come Senator McCain does not bring up the book in the debates or Senator Obama's political record in detail in the debates?

From a concerned registered Democrat that believes "change is not always good".
