The latest ad from the RNC takes some low-hanging fruit and makes a feast from it. The ad takes the energy policy of Barack Obama and compares it to the last President that tried it — Jimmy Carter. Obama’s call for a windfall-profits tax against oil companies prompts a history lesson about the results from the last such attempt:
TEXT: Sen. Barack Obama The Age of oil must end speech
“your great mayor” LOL!
“We fuel our oil addiction by sending over 800 million dollars a day to countries that include some of the most despotic volatile regimes in the world.”
“oil money funds everything from the madrassas that plant the seeds of terror in young minds, to sunni insurgents that attack our troops in Iraq, corrupts budding democracies
and gives dictators from Venezuela to Iran the power to freely defy the international community it even presents a larger target for Osama Bin Laden who has told Al Qaeda to focus your operations on oil especially in Iraq and the gulf area since this will cause Americans to die off on their own”
The clip
Now Bush says this:
“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,”
said Bush, in what White House aides privately acknowledged was a reference to calls by Obama and other Democrats for the U.S. president to sit down for talks with leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Because Obama said this….
Obama: “Sure, I’ll meet with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, etc”
Now I’m confused and I’m the one posting this shit, Obama says to me (Snoop evil dictator) you run one of the most despotic regimes in the world and I plant the seeds of terror in young minds, and you STILL want to sit down and talk to me? What the fuck?
Which is it? Negotiate with terrorist thugs, stop sending these thugs our money via oil, reduce dependency on foreign oil, we need a windfall profits tax to tax the oil companies, oh don’t forget that we have no other alternative energy resources, bla bla bla, yada yada yada.
CONFUSED!?!
Yes I must agree with El Borak, an Obama presidency will no doubt be a fun one blogging wise. Just think the Democrats will fucken have control of the House, Senate and likely the presidency (even if McCain wins the same thing). The Democrats are likely to turn this country back into the Stone Age. And who do we have to blame, Republicans since they are a bunch of spineless no guts assholes that refuse to run on and stand up for conservative principles.
With the Democrats in charge America will in essence be imprisoned by liberalism and thus will become the “tossed salad man”
Deplorable Keith Olbermann attacked Rush Limbaugh for a supposed racial “insult”, dutifully parroted from one of Olby’s usual blue blog “news” sources (Think Propaganda). Krazy Keith was up in arms, making Limbaugh “worst person in the world” for his heinous, racist slur against a Hispanic office holder. Oralmann seems to have forgotten his own history, like when he called the Hispanic Attorney General a “house boy”. Unfortunately for Bathtub Boy, Olbermann Watch didn’t forget:
Is she callin John McCain a LIAR!? “What John McCain Told Me, and What it Says About How Far He’s Fallen”
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008
By Arrianna Huffington on the Huff Post
Through a spokesperson with the colorful name Tucker Bounds, McCain has denied telling me he didn’t vote for Bush in 2000. “It’s not true,” Bounds told the Washington Post, “and I ask you to consider the source.”My sentiments exactly — because John McCain has a long history of issuing heartfelt denials of things that were actually true.
He denied ever talking with John Kerry about his leaving the GOP to be Kerry’s ‘04 running mate — then later admitted he had, insisting: “Everybody knows that I had a conversation.”
He denied ever having asked for a budget earmark for Arizona, even though he had. On the record.
He denied that he’d ever had a meeting with comely lobbyist Vicki Iseman and her client Lowell Paxon, even though he had. And had admitted it in a legal deposition.
And those are just the outright denials. He’s also repeatedly tried to spin away statements he regretted making (see: 100-year war, Iraq was a war for oil, etc.).
Back in February, Victor Davis Hanson wrote incisively about the ethnic hatred La Raza and its satellites foment. He also observed: “By November I don’t know why either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama should not have been asked to repudiate the support of an organization self-described as “The National Council of The Race.”How about McCain?
Watching the Hillary movie below I discovered that I was not as familiar with the details of the Clinton FALN pardons and how they benefited Hillary and her Senate Campaign. This clip is from the end of the Hillary movie. If you have not seen the movie and have the time I highly recommend watching. Now if you are a Hillary fan your head is certain to explode.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Fallout from President Clinton’s controversial pardons of 16 members of a Puerto Rican nationalist group last summer prompted Republicans Tuesday to introduce a measure to reform the pardon process and require input from victims and their families.
At a Capitol Hill news conference, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Rep. Vito Fossella (R-New York) announced the introduction of a measure requiring the Office of Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department to notify victims or their families of key events in the clemency process and allowing them to voice their views. It would also require law enforcement agencies to provide information on the potential impact from a grant of clemency.
President Clinton was widely criticized after he granted clemency to the FALN members over the objections of law enforcement officials, and after the Justice Department consulted representatives of the FALN prisoners, but not the victims.
Hatch and Fossella were flanked by the widow of one victim and the son of a second victim killed in the 1975 FALN bombing of a New York restaurant.
Justice Department officials say the proposed measure is unconstitutional because it would restrict powers granted exclusively to the president.
The sponsors insist the changes would not interfere with the chief executive’s decision making.
“The president will still be able to disregard the Pardon Attorney’s reports, use another agency, ask anyone in the world for advice, or exercise the ‘pardon power’ without anyone’s counsel, Hatch said.
Hatch said he expects the Justice Department to oppose the measure, but hopes to gain support from Democratic lawmakers.
Fossella rejected the notion the legislation is being introduced to embarrass Hillary Clinton’s bid for a Senate seat from New York.
“As far as Mrs. Clinton is concerned, this has nothing to do in my opinion with her candidacy for the Senate. This has everything to do with the privilege and power vested with the president of the United States that will long survive this campaign for the Senate,” Fossella said.
Joseph Connor, son of Frank Connor who died in the New York bombing, said he hopes something good finally comes from his father’s death.
“We’re hoping that we have made a difference here, and I believe we have through this bill. And maybe it can be a part of his legacy,” Connor said.
Diana Berger Ettenson whose husband was killed in the blast said she too hoped the measure would gain bipartisan support.
“I would urge people on both sides of the aisle to come together to do the right thing, and I would also urge future candidates for the office of president to think very carefully regarding this awesome power that is placed in their hands. This power of clemency is like no other power,” she said.

Clinton’s sympathy for Marxist terrorists
Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the “oppressed people of Puerto Rico,” the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro’s secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico.
While Timothy McVeigh awaits execution and has no chance of receiving a pardon for his role in the Oklahoma City bombing, President Clinton has seen fit to pardon 11 FALN terrorists and five Macheteros who have been serving prison sentences in the United States. Some people are wondering why Clinton did this. It was not a popular move. What pressing political reason did Clinton have for releasing 16 Communist terrorists and revolutionaries from jail?
How’s this for a double bind: Moonbat-imposed indoor smoking bans are said to exacerbate moonbats’ beloved global warming farce.
Fewer cigarettes get lit indoors in bars and restaurants because of smoking bans from California to Ireland but something else is going up in smoke from a sidewalk in central Oslo — about $100,000 a year in extra outdoor heating bills.
The heated pavement, installed at a cost of about $400,000, may be the most extreme example of an environmental side-effect of smoking bans: rocketing power use. […T]hink of all the thousands of extra gas and electricity heaters outdoors spurred by the smoking bans around the world…
If only global warming were real, soon we wouldn’t need outdoor heaters. Unfortunately higher power bills are real enough. Once again we see that for every heavy-handed moonbat action, there is a reaction of unintended consequences that leaves the world worse off.
EU Could Ban Outdoor Patio Heaters
The EU is moving to ban outdoor patio heaters, upsetting incense bar and restaurant owners. Environmentalists back the plan, arguing the heaters make a significant contribution to global warming.
Moronic dolts at MoveOn retarded definition of “hurting the country”
Friday, April 18th, 2008
From the people that brought you this tasteless crap ad!
Yes, it’s true. The left-wing anti-patriots at MoveOn.org, who didn’t think twice about handing jihadists potent ammunition the day before the sixth anniversary of 9/11 with their despicable attack on Gen. Petraeus, are now worried about actions that “hurt the country.”Dangerous, perilous, damaging, harmful actions…like having a Democrat debate moderated by journalists who aren’t complete and total sycophants.
Since MoveOn has not had any press for some time I guess they felt it was time to sound the alarms to stir up the troops and put those donations from drug induced hippies and other left wing zealots to work.
ABC’s now the new Fox news I guess.
These jackasses extremist in their views only exist to push their liberal agenda and nothing else.
It’s because of groups like this that I have no tolerance for liberals. If it’s not the mindless anti-war blather or the moronic comparisons of Bush to Hitler or the tedious rants that
Conservatives are racists and homophobes.
I’m convinced that liberal leftist folks have just completely lost it in America.
MoveOn.org the promoters of “No blood for oil” and “American imperialism!” catchy typical liberal slogans, even though no serious observer believes that the U.S. is stealing anyone’s oil or trying to colonize any country.
Liberals, race baiting professionals, retarded, self loathing, anti-American love to play the ‘victim’ game; in leftist thought, everyone is always oppressing someone or something.
Liberals are a psychiatrist’s best friend.
None of this is news to readers of this blog, there are many more like I who rant about this from time to time because of our low gag reflex when we read about the latest liberal nonsense.
Just remember who was named “the most liberal Senator” and who has the endorsement of MoveOn’s legions of intellectually vacant moronic fucks.
Barry Hussein Obama!

Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton’s new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn’t registered to vote in Pennsylvania. Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, “the good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said,” is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton Feb. 5. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, Pa.
“It shouldn’t be a big deal. I explained it to the campaign,” Thomas said in an interview. “I see Pennsylvanians for what they are. I grew up with the values of Pennsylvanians.”
Bill Clinton Flashback: “All These Economically Insecure White People…Are Scared To Death”
Monday, April 14th, 2008
Typical Democrats!
“The reason (George H. W. Bush’s tactic) works so well now is that you have all these economically insecure white people who are scared to death,” Clinton was quoted saying by the Los Angeles Times in September 1991.
A couple months later, Joe Klein, writing for the Sunday Times, reported that Clinton made the following remarks:
“You know, he [Bush] wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this. This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them. They know if they can keep us looking at each other across a racial divide, if I can look at Bobby Rush and think, Bobby wants my job, my promotion, then neither of us can look at George Bush and say, ‘What happened to everybody’s job? What happened to everybody’s income? What … have … you … done … to … our … country?’”
A common theme of Clinton’s back then
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, trying to convince Alabama Democrats to support his presidential bid, accused Republicans of trying to woo white voters by preying on unfounded racial fears.
Clinton told a meeting of the Alabama Democratic Party black caucus that Republicans “find the most economically insecure white folks and go scare the living daylights out of them.” — AP, October 13, 1991
Why does the President refuse to let a civil rights bill pass? Because he knows that the people he is dependent on for his electoral majority — white working class men and women, mostly men, have had their incomes decline in the 1980s and they may return to their natural home, someone who offers them real economic opportunity. And so he is dredging up the same old tactic that the hard right has employed in my part of the country, in the South, since I was a child. When everything gets (hyped ?) and you think you’re going to lose those people, you find the most economically insecure white people and you scare the living daylights out of them. — Georgetown University, October 23, 1991
1,000 Illinois Democrats had gathered in Chicago for their annual fund-raising dinner. Clinton, 45, was determined to give them his best shot. And he did, vigorously attacking George Bush: ”You know, he wants to divide us over race. I’m from the South. I understand this,” Clinton croaked. ”This quota deal they’re gonna pull in the next election is the same old scam they’ve been pulling on us for decade after decade after decade. When their economic policies fail, when the country’s coming apart rather than coming together, what do they do? They find the most economically insecure white men and scare the living daylights out of them.” — Sunday Times, November 3, 1991
“If you were in the do-nothing faction and you were about to get voted out, you just found the most economically insecure white people and scared the living hell out of them. We were raised on his. . . What did it do for us? Nothing. Kept us down. Kept us flat. All the progress we’ve made in the South, we’ve made since we started working together again.” — Houston Chronicle, June 7, 1992
Not content to have parlayed their public service into great wealth, the Clintons continue to cost the taxpayers money. It seems that, despite having written a book on it, former President Clinton feels more comfortable getting paid for charity than giving it:
The Clintons have made a $100-million fortune since leaving the White House, but a Politico analysis found that hasn’t kept Bill Clinton from taking full advantage of the publicly funded perks offered to ex-presidents.
In fact, his presidential retirement benefits cost taxpayers almost as much as those of the other two living ex-presidents combined.
The price tag for Clinton’s federal retirement allowance from 2001 through the end of this year will run $8 million, compared to $5.5 million for George H. W. Bush’s and $4 million for Jimmy Carter’s during the same period.
Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.
The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.
“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.
Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriff’s deputy in late February.
A Clinton spokesman, Mo Elleithee, said candidates would frequently retell stories relayed to them, vetting them when possible. “In this case, we did try but were not able to fully vet it,” Mr. Elleithee said. “If the hospital claims it did not happen that way, we respect that.”
“We have been going back and forth in this campaign of who said what to whom and let me say this, that I don’t talk about private conversations but I have consistently made the case that I can win,” she said.
ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos reported on Wednesday’s World News that sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Richardson, prior to the Governor’s endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, “He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win.”
“Our stratospheric dropout rates have one advantage: they spare kids from soaking up the bilious moonbattery force-fed by our public schools. A case in point is James Corbett, a European history teacher at Capistrano Valley High School in California, who teaches the kids that Christians are more likely to rape and murder.Like many moonbats, he also hates the South. A disgusted student recorded Corbett as he raved:
What country has the highest murder rate? The South! What part of the country has the highest rape rate? The South! What part of the country has the highest rate of church attendance? The South!
Bleats Corbett’s lawyer:
The purpose is not to indoctrinate, but simply to provide a basic starting point to provoke discussion.
Somehow I doubt that defense would fly if Corbett spent class time denouncing Islam or homosexuality.”
Ted Turner, on what will happen if global warming is not addressed immediately:
Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hottest in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down.
Folks I swear. This level of retardation on TV should be illegal, or at the very least must have some sort of parental warning disclaimer.
This is another example of intellectually vacant liberals getting free air time saying the dumbest shit and society lets this crazy bastard get away with it as if tis a fact.
He had to be high on crack or something or had several martinis before appearing on the show. How the hell can you explain him willingly spitting out such nonsense!?
The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit, commonly known as suggestio falsi and suppressio veri. (Neither of them is covered by the additionally lying claim of having “misspoken.”) The first involves what seems to be most obvious in the present case: the putting forward of a bogus or misleading account of events. But the second, and often the more serious, means that the liar in question has also attempted to bury or to obscure something that actually is true. Let us examine how Sen. Clinton has managed to commit both of these offenses to veracity and decency and how in doing so she has rivaled, if not indeed surpassed, the disbarred and perjured hack who is her husband and tutor.I remember disembarking at the Sarajevo airport in the summer of 1992 after an agonizing flight on a U.N. relief plane that had had to “corkscrew” its downward approach in order to avoid Serbian flak and ground fire. As I hunched over to scuttle the distance to the terminal, a mortar shell fell as close to me as I ever want any mortar shell to fall. The vicious noise it made is with me still. And so is the shock I felt at seeing a civilized and multicultural European city bombarded round the clock by an ethno-religious militia under the command of fascistic barbarians. I didn’t like the Clinton candidacy even then, but I have to report that many Bosnians were enthused by Bill Clinton’s pledge, during that ghastly summer, to abandon the hypocritical and sordid neutrality of the George H.W. Bush/James Baker regime and to come to the defense of the victims of ethnic cleansing.
I am recalling these two things for a reason. First, and even though I admit that I did once later misidentify a building in Sarajevo from a set of photographs, I can tell you for an absolute certainty that it would be quite impossible to imagine that one had undergone that experience at the airport if one actually had not. Yet Sen. Clinton, given repeated chances to modify her absurd claim to have operated under fire while in the company of her then-16-year-old daughter and a USO entertainment troupe, kept up a stone-faced and self-loving insistence that, yes, she had exposed herself to sniper fire in the cause of gaining moral credit and, perhaps to be banked for the future, national-security “experience.” This must mean either a) that she lies without conscience or reflection; or b) that she is subject to fantasies of an illusory past; or c) both of the above. Any of the foregoing would constitute a disqualification for the presidency of the United States.
*****
Ya know unless Hillary is able to hire someone to assassinate Obama her chances of winning the presidency is pretty much zero.
Putting aside Rush’s “Operation Chaos” successfully fucking up the Democratic Party, after her sniper fire lie I have often thought about the mental acuity of people who still actually believe that Hillary Clinton should be president.
EVEN AFTER THIS MOTHER OF ALL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE LIES, how
could someone willingly show up at one of her campaign rallies and keep their integrity in check?
I have yet to find a blogger or columnist who is willing to bang out on a keyboard truthfully and honestly why Hillary, despite being a lying fuck should be president.
Only the fact that she is a woman and her name is Clinton. If she were a man named
Tom Richardson everyone including flaming lib tards would avoid her like the plague.
after reading this article, I’m just dumbfounded.
Why do Negros support hypocrite fraud radical idiots like Jeremiah Wright?
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
In case you did not catch O’Reilly last night (Monday 3/31) he had a discussion with Marc Lamont Hill. Mr. Hill is an Afro studies dude teaching at Temple.
HERE IS THE VIDEO FIRST…
Just an FYI, below is a portion of an article written by Mr. Hill and it shows just how liberal he is, even accusing Obama of being a centrist. He really means he is too closely aligned with whitey!
First let me say, I don’t agree with a lot of what dude says but I think dude is one of the best black guests on talking head TV in explaining his side of a given argument. He speaks fast, but dude is clear and concise and brings an intellectual analysis to any discussion. There are a lot of other liberal Negros on the tube but I rarely listen to them. Most are embarrassingly inarticulate and almost all end up resorting to the typical Negrodom talking points. Mr. Hill does that too, but he hides it well in his explanations and analysis.
Anywho, during this discussion Mr. Hill is explaining to O’Reilly why Nigga Wright received such a warm reception at this Catholic Church on Sunday. Dude has explained this to O’Reilly on numerous occasions and either O’Reilly is a complete dolt or is willfully ignorant.
Folks this is not complicated. Think back to the O.J. verdict. I still remember the day. I was in my office with a co-worker and at the exact moment when that bailiff chick (who butchered OJ’s name) said “not-guilty” I felt slightly sick. I became even more ill as I watched a room full of Negro students break out in raucous applause - as if they had won the lottery or gotten their
reparations check. This is no lie, for the first time in my life I was actually embarrassed to be a black individual. I was ashamed and appalled that Negros were celebrating the acquittal of that murderous bastard.
Now after that initial emotion, I really began to think about it. In time, I realized that black people were not cheering for O.J.’s acquittal. Rather, it was a symbolic victory for all of black America. His innocence or guilt was totally irrelevant. A black man was able to “beat the white man at their own game.”
Now I know some of you folks have heard this already, but white people today still can’t figure out why black folks react the way they do towards people like Jeremiah Wright or some other guilty or ignorant ass Negro fuck. The people in the O’Reilly/Hill discussion video of Wright were not applauding for Wright. They were applauding the fact that he got hit by white America’s best shot and he still survived.
High profile Negro politicians/criminals do crazy shit all the time and get busted for being the corrupt fucks they were born to be. But surviving the “wrath of whitey” is a very important symbolic accomplishment to the average Negro on the streets. A Negro individual’s misdeeds, corruption, guilt and being able to AGAIN “survive the wrath
of whitey.” That kind of thing s a badge of honor in the black community, particularly amongst the intellectually clueless and retarded Negros.
You see it tis a bit different now since we have You Tube and camera cell phones. Black folks use to be able to rally around each other IN PRIVATE without the prying eyes of whitey scrutinizing every thing that was said from the pulpit.
So now whitey television news executive is able to watch a You Tube clip of someone like that hopelessly retarded Pastor Manning. And the white man says “oh shit we have got to get that guy on TV to show white America just how ignorant some of these Negros are!”
You can’t analyze the typical Negro reaction to that situation in a logical manner. Why not? Because more then just the facts are at play. You also have decades, if not centuries, of being told (or knowing) that a lot of white people are “out to get us.” So any victory over white rule, no matter how small or retarded, is going to get celebrated by a lot of the “downtrodden.” So remember - there are a good number of black folks who are equally as appalled by J Wright’s crap but can’t say shit unless they want to be seen as with whitey instead of with their own people.
My point is Negros who are allowed by whitey to appear on these shows must abide by liberal Negro rule of discussion. Remember now, Mr. Hill. He is an Afro studies dude. If he were to speak candidly and truthfully about how
retarded J. Wright’s comments were he would lose his job and he damm sure would not be the chosen token Negro guest on TV. So what do you think he’s going to say? He’ll say what whitey expects an apologist to say.
Mr. Hill and all Negro talking heads play by the same rules. Say what is expected. Or be quiet. Even conservative leaning Negros who are given camera time, like Larry Elder, must be very careful about what is said – in order to be acceptable on white network television.
This is why blogging is so refreshing. I will never be invited to speak on TV or radio - although I did call into a local radio show a few days ago. I was immediately cut off when I said that “white people who plan to vote for Obama based on some sort of white guilt are being silly and intellectually dishonest and if they think that by voting for Obama will turn around race relations in the nation they are retards…………” CLICK!
The truth is a bitch. People say they want to hear the truth, but they don’t. Not really. They want to hear what they expect to hear – people agreeing with them or fitting into pre-conceived stereo-types.
But anyone who wants to hear a Black conservative’s real thoughts is hereby invited to pay me to appear on camera. I’m not shy. I can’t talk as fast as Mr. Hill. But I bet I could hold my own with him!
**********
For whites, an Obama victory would serve as the final piece of evidence that America has reached full racial equality. Such a belief allows them to sidestep mounds of evidence that shows that, despite Obama’s claims that “we are 90 percent of the way to equality,” black people remain consistently assaulted by the forces by white supremacy. For many black people, Obama’s success would provide symbolic value by showing that the black man (not woman!) can make it to the top. Although black faces in high places may provide psychological comfort, they are often incorporated into a Cosbyesque gospel of personal responsibility (”Obama did it, so can you!”) that allows dangerous public policies to go unchallenged.
Despite its convoluted racial logic, the election of Obama would still be acceptable if his policies were properly aligned with a leftist agenda. Unfortunately, Obama has clung to a rigid centrism that is incompatible with full-scale social change. Despite his claims of being a peace candidate, Obama has repeatedly expressed a commitment to ramping up military and continuing the presidential legacy of using war as an instrument of foreign policy. Although he opposes the war in Iraq, Obama refuses to vote against its funding.
While Obama supports health care for all Americans, he does not embrace a universal single-payer system that would effectively undermine private corporate interests. At the same time that he bemoans the loss of jobs and expansion of global poverty, Obama fails to denounce free trade agreements and extols the virtues economic globalization. In addition, Obama has been conspicuously silent on topics such as the prison industrial complex, the Zionist occupation of Palestine, and the economic underdevelopment of Africa.
In the face of a black electorate that still craves messianic leadership, Obama has skillfully positioned himself as the Martin Luther King of his generation. Unlike King, however, Obama does not aim to disrupt the fundamental structure of society. Rather than dismantling the triple threat of global racism, poverty, and militarism that King warned against, Obama has promoted a doctrine of compromise that is self-serving rather than strategic, milquetoast rather than pragmatic.

Obama’s Pastor Slurs Italians in Latest Magazine
By Penny Starr - CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
(CNSNews.com) - Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.
“(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him,” Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. “The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”
Wright continued, “From the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. …
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Wednesday sought to quell concerns over anti-American remarks by his former pastor, saying people are paying too much attention to a small number of “stupid” comments.
Obama gave a sweeping speech on race last week in which he condemned incendiary remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but the words of the former pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago continue to dog the candidate. Reflecting the campaign’s concern about the fallout, Obama used a question about religion at a town hall forum as an opportunity to address the issue.
“This is somebody that was preaching three sermons at least a week for 30 years and it got boiled down … into a half-minute sound clip and just played it over and over and over again, partly because it spoke to some of the racial divisions we have in this country,” Obama told an audience in this central North Carolina city.
“There are misunderstandings on both sides,” the Illinois senator said. “We cannot solve the problems of America if every time somebody somewhere does something stupid, that everybody gets up in arms and forgets about the war in Iraq and we forget about the economy.”
Obama is becoming Bill Clinton like. I mean in the “it depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
Remember:
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the–if he–if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not–that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement….Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.”
So now we have a “small number of “stupid” comments” I guess it depends on what you would define as “small.”
Mrs. Clinton said that she says “millions of words each day” so “we were under sniper fire” so five small words out of a million, is indeed small. “God damm Americkkka” is just a blip on the radar.
Ya know I get the fact that politicians on both sides have some serious issues with honesty. And neither side has a monopoly on what may be the correct path to dealing with some of America’s issues but anybody paying attention has to be struck by just how incredibly deceitful and conniving Democratic politicians are.
A simple story about a foreign policy trip or whether or not (your church and pastor of CHOICE) is a raving racist America hating lunatic can produce the most bullshit rhetoric is just beyond belief.
One of my commenter’s Allen posted this and it describes Democrats perfectly;
“I can’t quite imagine what a conversation in that family must be like. The best I can figure:”
Neighbor: Your damn dog tore up my garden.
Bill: We have no dog. Hillary: Our dog was inside when the incident occurred. Chelsea: We have a dog?
Neighbor: Of course it’s your dog everyone knows it.
Lanny Davis: I find this focus on the dog to be irrelevant.
Barack Obama knew his pastor Jeremiah Wright was a liability LAST YEAR. (So did the media who refused to look into the story)
If Obama knew about the incendiary remarks by Wright after he decided to run for president why did he disinvite Jeremiah Wright from his candidacy announcement?
Heard At Hillary Ohio Rally: “Obama Lies About Being Muslim”
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
“The truth is he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim, his mother married a Muslim after divorcing his father. His grandfather was a Muslim. It doesn’t matter. But it does matter when Obama says he was never a Muslim. That matters because he lied… He lies when he says he was never a Muslim. He was a Muslim. He was born a Muslim. He was a Muslim for six years of his life.”

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”
The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.
Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.
“[I] have a feeling this is the opening,” Coleman said. “If the lawyers will take the case – sue the people who sell carbon credits. That includes Al Gore. That lawsuit would get so much publicity, so much media attention. And as the experts went to the media stand to testify, I feel like that could become the vehicle to finally put some light on the fraud of global warming.”
I’m far from being an expert and I can nor will I ever claim to be a person who is completely versed on the scientific analysis concerning global warming, but I do know this: Global Warming is likely the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the world population.
My God I have read so many liberal blogs, and these idiot TV pundits who try to explain all of this global warming bullshit as if somehow they have been granted exclusive 411 (information) handed down by Jesus Christ himself.
Anybody who can’t see the great money making scam in perpetuating this global warming terrorist scare is simply a fool.
If I would have been smart enough to go into any science field, studying climatology or whatever field you need to go into to scam university or research grant monies, I would be screaming about global warming too.
Then you add that idiot socialist Hillary wanting to steal money from the oil companies and add it to Gubment pockets and you global warming folks can’t see what is happening?
No seriously, are you people playing stupid or is that Ferengi bartender slipping a Mickey in your morning coffee on a daily basis?
The NAFTA - Obama story gets more interesting.I called CTV to verify the story, especially given the Obama campaign’s cries that it’s “inaccurate.” After asking Greg McIsaac of CTV if they were sticking by their story, he quickly called me back with verification. The facts of our story are accurate.
Then why are the traditional media and Obama blogs pushing Obama’s side of the story that the CTV story is “innacurate?” That an embassy spokesperson alone proves the reporting is wrong? Back channels exist, which means skepticism should apply, especially with CTV standing by the facts of their story:
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama’s campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada’s ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value. … ..
AUSTIN, Texas - In his radio and TV ads that are blanketing Texas, Barack Obama claims a chief executive can make more money “in 10 minutes” than an ordinary worker makes in a year. Obama wants to end the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, enact a national health plan, offer a $4,000-a-year tuition reimbursement in exchange for national service, and have the government intervene to prevent home foreclosures.
But he doesn’t want anyone
to call him a liberal.
For despite Obama’s vow to build a working majority for change - to win a clear mandate for his progressive agenda, rather than engage in Clinton-like “triangulation” - he’s not yet willing to own the l-word.
Obama seems to have calculated that such labels can be distracting - that some voters have negative associations with the term liberal that obscures their support for such Democratic priorities as affordable healthcare and higher education for all.
He may be right. But his reluctance to own the term in a forthright
