Will the Real Barack Obama Please Stand Up?
By PaganPower on May 14, 2008 at 6:27 PM in Barack Obama, Black Agenda Report, Black nationalism, Muslim, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
Barack Obama just got a new makeover. His campaign has finally realized that some of the things about him they thought they could explain away are actually issues that ordinary Americans take offense with. Most recently Obama has been seen wearing a flag pin on his lapel. And all the time we thought that he meant what he said about not needing to prove his patriotism. But ever since Hamas endorsed him the flag has been Barry’s best friend.
And just yesterday it was revealed that the leader of The New Black Panther Party, Malik Shabbaz has endorsed Obama. Shabbaz said a few interesting things. Apparently the Nation of Islam believes that Obama is the chosen one spoken about in their theology. They believe he is the black man that will rule the world and restore Africa and black people to their rightful place as rulers over everyone else. And if that isn’t troubling enough, Shabbaz made it clear that his mentor Farrakhan has not only endorsed Obama, he is backing and supports him “”from a safe distance”.
So why hasn’t the media covered these revelations? What is it about Obama’s past that he finds the need to either hide from or run away from as fast as he can? Could it be his past experiences with Muslim theology? His father was Muslim. And we know that as a young child he was registered as a Muslim and bragged that he was able to speak Indonesian. Then when he matured a little and moved back to the United States his favorite book was The Autobiography of Malcolm X. In Obama’s autobiography, Dreams of My Father, he reminisced fondly about reading the official organ of the Nation of Islam, The Final Call.
I would occasionally pick up the paper [The Final Call] from these unfailingly polite men, in part out of sympathy to their heavy suits in the summer, their thin coats in winter; or sometimes because my attention was caught by the sensational, tabloid-style headlines (CAUCASIAN WOMAN ADMITS: WHITES ARE THE DEVIL). Inside the front cover, one found reprints of the minister’s [Farrakhan’s] speeches, as well as stories that could have been picked straight off the AP news wire were it not for certain editorial embellishments (”Jewish Senator Metzenbaum announced today…”).
“Dreams From My Father,” page 201
So we know that he is at least VERY familiar with the religion of Louis Farrakhan, long time friend of Obama spiritual mentor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. And both of these larger than life religious leaders have nothing but contempt and hatred for white people. And very probably Obama shares some of that belief, belonging to a supposedly Christian Church that believes above all else in the supremacy of Black Liberation Theology.
Perhaps that is why Obama now claims to the people in Kentucky that he is an active member in the Trinity Unity Church of Christ. Because if he can hoodwink the good people of Kentucky into believing that he is one of them he believes he can turn things around. But I wonder how many of the average Kentuckians accept that the Black Value System and Black Liberation Theology are the same things they learn and sing about on Sunday mornings?
Was Jesus really Black?
Nonetheless, this is Obama’s new strategy.
Obama Campaign Responds to Cross Flyers
“These fliers are part of the Obama campaign’s sincere effort to communicate the values of Senator Obama’s own Christian faith and the hope that people of all faiths and moral backgrounds will come together to address the needs of the ‘least of these’ in our nation and in our world. We’re using them (the fliers) primarily at American Values forums and other campaign events. We are very careful to not campaign within houses of worship and respect both the philosophical boundaries between the church and the campaign, and the very real Internal Revenue Service restrictions related to campaigns and houses of worship.”
So apparently Obama has decided that the bitter people clinging to guns and religion isn’t exactly the most appropriate campaign slogan. Obama is probably following an Axelrod maxim: When in doubt lie. So Barack now LOVES people that go to church. He respects them so much he is one of them now. He is an active member in church except for when anything controversial or insulting to ordinary Americans is going on. Then he is always somewhere else. Nothing like a cross in the background to add a little legitimacy to one’s credentials. Even if the real credentials are membership in a radical Afrocentric church with strong ties to The Nation of Islam.
I think it is about time that the press did it’s job and started asking Obama some legitimate questions . So that we can ALL put this Muslim thing behind us.
Here are a few sample questions to help them get started.
1) Has Barack Obama ever met Louis Farrakhan? If so, what did they talk about.
2) Does he admire Farrakhan like his spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright does?
3) Does Obama have members of the Nation of Islam employed on his Campaign or Senate staffs?
4) And finally, does Barack Obama agree with this characterization of Louis Farrakhan?
Transcript: Rev. Wright at the National Press Club
Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains. He did not put me in slavery. And he didn’t make me this color.
Perhaps the good people of the Kentucky press will ask Barack Obama these questions. After all, they deserve to know whether Obama is serious about his religion. Or is he just using the thought of it to hoodwink the folks of Kentucky into believing that he is one of them?
(small, medium and large sizes; for both dogs and cats)

Edwards endorsement wouldn;t matter, Obama made campaign appearances or broadcast coomercials in states he agreed not to campaign in.
Rulebreaker, by rule policy, would have votes from said states disqualified.
It’s a move to stave the bleeding for Kentucky, not much else. The net gain from this in the two states it’s being thought to matter most would technically be zero.
What is the African dictator attitude toward Israel, toward the Jews?
I don’t mean Farrakhan, per se, or his crew, but say Odinga?
( I keep wanting to call him Oneida, after the flatware, so if I do, I apologize).
And how strong is the influence of guys like Auchi in Africa, in addition to our own lovely crew of oil men?
And the Chinese, and the Russians, and the Arabs?
You better watch those racist comments about my spoons.
I’m sorry.
LOL. And my forks!
Flip Flops for religion?
That’s me in the spot light…
…gaining my religion….
So why hasn’t the media covered these revelations?
They’re saving them for the main event. That’s when the turkeys that voted for that early Christmas count the votes.
Uh, the Black Panther Party of the 1960s and 1970s is NOT the same group as the New Black Panther Party. In fact, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation has condemned the latter group as being anti-Semitic and bigoted and is highly critical of the theft of the name.
Same thing .. just wrapped in a different package and with a pretty bow on top.
Um, Obama hasn’t endorsed the New Black Panther Party, they’ve endorsed him. Quite a substantial difference, actually.
please that was lame, they used to have the panther link on the obama website, till the whole wright story came out…
jkfriz, Obama will accept any endorsements, even from the devil himself!!!And know what? Even from the shadiest of the shady characters in the history of mankind, Obama will be grinning,from left to right of his huge ears!Notice lately, he is already acting the “anointed one”.
I LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL AMERICA, AND BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA !!(who is he anyway????)
I suppose Obama will simply ignore these endorsements. He’s clearly distancing from all AA groups.
Wright damaged Obama beyond repair. No amount of fliers, in my opinion, will make any difference.
What is the DNC thinking?! It seems like they don’t even care about winning in November. There is no way I will ever vote for Obama.
Okay, so the Obama campaign is trotting out the same “Committed Christian” cards they used in South Carolina. Of course, in SC they may have been effective since it was BEFORE the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was all over teevee and the Internets.
Honestly, between the Edwards’ endorsement trying to give Obama “street cred” with the blue collar workers and this postcard, Obama must think Kentuckians have been living in caves for the past months.
He thinks that’s where they cling to their guns and religion.
Another Obama flop, too bad…
And they were so counting on this to zing Clinton supporters.
Yawn, so what?
No, I am going with the idea that this is to clear the way for a MI solution.
He’ll “give” his portion of the delegates to Obama.
WOW, Ann, you’re right. All those uncommited some of whom were surely for Edwards.
Yeah, but they don’t HAVE to go to bama.
Unless Axelrod has purchased them out right.
Axelrod, or a surrogate.
Maybe Obama and his camp think KY doesn’t have electricity, so they could not have watched TV or listened to the radio. Plus, the fact that people in KY and WVA are too busy f*cking their sisters, they never had time to learn how to read.
Who knows?
It really, REALLY bothers me how they (Obama supporters) are now insinuating that all white Hillary supporters are racist.
When the number is 80%, 85% tops!
right. Edwards didn’t have street cred in KY, doesn’t now with his endorsment of an elitist snobama, and won’t help obama lose badly in KY next week. Can’t wait. A 30-40 point loss for “the presumed nominee”?
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
In S. Carolina, Obama rolled out Donnie McClurkin to get the conservative AA religious votes. Before that he needed the GLBT community which he has abandoned.
Donnie McClurkin isn’t going to help in KY..so roll out Edwards. Interesting people in Ky aren’t that stupid. It will occur to them that Obama hasn’t shown up.
I wonder who is Obama going to use as a surrogate when he needs to debate McCain?
He’s hoping that Hillary will do it to show how much she supports his candidacy ….
So, the worst genocide is in Africa, (correct?), and all of this seems to put Rwanda in a new light, Dick Morris advise there, too?
/snark
I think.
Obama makes friends with African dictators propped up by arms dealers(Auchi, others), and big oil, African dictators who slaughter hundreds of thousands of their own, in addition to spewing against Israel, and the Jews, and yet we’re racists?
Mkay, got it, thanks.
Ad Africa is a terrorist pipe line correct?
To Israeli hating groups across the Middle East, even in America?
Genocide is bad.
Bill O’Reilly is the man. (For now at least)
He was just talking about this “if you don’t vote for Obama you’re a racist” nonsense.
Right now, FOX is closer to balance than anyone.
ABC News has been pretty good, comparatively.
Fox is all over Wright’s magazine too. Obama actually said he had no idea it existed.
He was there for twenty years and didn’t notice?
How long has the magazine been in print?
“…The Black Theologians goal is to tell the story of American Oppression so powerfully and precisely that White men will tremble curse, and go mad because they will be drenched in the filth of their evil….The Black Intellectuals goal is to aid in the destruction of America as he knows it…Such Destructon requires both Black Anger and White Guilt….” James Cone. Founder of Black Liberation Theology
**…Are there any doubts that this is fascist doctrine…**
I was referring to how old the magazine is. If it’s been around for a long time, it would show that Obama was either blind or lying.
Fox just ha a picture of a Trumpet front page with Obama on it.
I have enough guilt for the things that I have actually done. I feel no guilt whatever for things that happened 100 years before I was born done by people whose names I don’t even know.
Wright started it in 1982. Obama sure has been out of the loop. Where did Obama say he didn’t know anything about it? I’m starting a collection of Obama’s I-don’t-know-that-man and I-can’t-recall-remembering moments. GWB, the sequel.
Didn’t a guy named Kurtz find several recent issues with Obama on the cover?
Fox has always been closer to the balance for Repugnicans like the folks on this blog…
if i dont vote for obama, its because i am not a follower.
i dont need to belong to either a cult or a coven.
i dont need obama, and i dont need to explain to anyone what my motivation is.
if someone calls me racist, if its something they need to believe, i cant find it in my heart to give a damn…
dear griff,
if obama wins, i will gladly become a -
‘NEW REPUBLOCRAT’…
join us wont you?
All I have to say about Edwards endorsement is:
Rat boat, rat boat.
Those Red States guys must be psychics, to have such perfect timing.
If you like your psychics retarded, and apparently, they do…
lol….
Edwards, another name to add to the losers for obama tee shirt
From Newsvine, an audio of Rummy, and the incompetent traitor generals discussing how to handle immature american “children:”
Washington at work, and the men who support Obama:
from msnbc
Thanks Betty for reminding us about our new meme
Edwards is on the RAT BOAT!
And Edwards can go to HELL — along with the other sexists chauvinist pigs.
Well we are certainly learning who really cares about America and the PEOPLE of this country.
Obama’s RAT BOAT is sinking.
As I said earlier, I don’t know if I can stand to watch a woman of Hillary’s undeniable stature, intelligence and grace be humbled and called to heel behind a man as shallow and lacking in all things as Obama.
I will vote for McCain not only because I fear an Obama presidency (since I have no idea who is behind this coup), but to decimate the Obama version of the Democratic Party. To quote Donna ‘to send them a message”.
Good words, because a coup it will be. What first gave me pause was reading Obamanuts talking about a revolution. They have a socialist agenda and want to transform the United States….
Obama for Pope!
okay…I DON’T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR THROW UP…OBAPOPE…
JEEEEEZUS MARY AND JOSEPH…SAINTS PRESERVE US ! and other assorted catholic cussin….
This “re-branding” of Obama will be interesting to watch…
How well will this candidate fare with the other group he has been selling to? His other brand has been marketed to the most voracious consumers (”highly educated” elites and college students) and then, playing up the bamboozle theme to further exploit the black community that have a history that helps them believe it when they are told that whitey does not care about you.
When I see this political posturing and pandering, the more I know that this man must be stopped.
I am all for having a black POTUS, just not this man. When we do have a black POTUS, I want to count that man or woman as one of the BEST POTUS that this country has ever had. I strongly believe that Obama can not deliver that. There are too many challenges ahead for our country to vote for this particular inexperienced person to be POTUS. To me, it is not the color of his skin, it is our country’s dire need to have a knowledgeable, competent, experienced person as CiC.
Next he’ll be on the cover of NRA Today.
okay,
i just spit up… thanks…
John Edwards has just Bill Richardson-zed himself, endorsing a candidate who has not only trashed his own constituency repeatedly (poor, white working class voters), but has also been summarily rejected by Edwards own constituency.
Just like Richardson, Edwards’ endorsement was designed to blunt an embarassing moment for Obama (Wright #1, West Virginia blow-out, prospect of Kentucky blowout), and just like Richardson, it looks like Edwards is desperate for some attention and cash after blowing his own campaign.
Just like Richardson and hispanics, Edwards’ endorsement will not pull white working class voters towards Obama.
Having pissed away the rest of his political capital and reputation for independence, Edwards, like Richardson, will vanish into the political wilderness.
Does anyone really take Richardson seriously anymore? No. Who does he speak for? Certainly not Hispanics. He’s just a wandering, washed up party elder, like George McGovern.
Just like Richardson, it’s too little, too late. Goodbye, John Edwards.
Yes, and a very sad way to end a career, a slave to that which they were supposed to fight.
I never cared for Edwards, but I absolutely love his wife, Elizabeth. She is the real thing. I hope she is ok.

UHHHH
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT…………………………
I’m an outspoken artist….and a CRACKER….and a Catholic ( Whore of Babylon Cult )….So I figure I’m in row 3 or maybe 4 in the typical Fascist firing squad….Right behind them pesky Jews….I read history….
I heard that Obama helped organize the million man march with Farrakhan..
obama is really out of touch with oregon values.
People, just so you understand something, anyone know who Edwards Presidential 2004 media manager was?
David Axelrod!
So any not figure Axelrod used Chicago politics on Edwards?
Going back to trippi, and k**, and Rezkowatch made the point Kerry was very involved with bama in 2004.
I’d say the deal here looks like it was in the bag, a long, long time ago…
These things don’t happen spontaneously, they plan for years.
Weak point is their crew is very stupid.
Well add this to the mix, in 2004 Chicago mayor Daley was backing Kerry, and who was behind Daley, Thomas Ayers and the Ayers family!
They needed Oprah’s money in the beginning.
It all fugures. Whores. Ruthless political whores.
Remember the debate in which the candidates got to ask each other a question? Edwards went first and he did something a trial lawyer would never do: he asked a question he didn’t know the answer to. He asked Obama about all the special interests that had donated to his campaign. Obama’s hit it out of the park like an expected pitch. He said they were just individuals donating to his campaign who happened to work for those companies. Edwards was left doing a guppy imitation.
I always wondered about that. For those interested in such things, Edwards was incompetently referring to the fact that Obama’s main support came from DLA Piper, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Lehman, UBS, Citadel - and if that doesn’t buy you a vowel go to ilcampaign.org and check out his early support: Capri and Ariel, etc. You’ll wonder why Edwards, a highly successful trial lawyer, let his question be wasted in that debate.
Edwards and Obama are the two guys that have MI voters in limbo at the moment with the taking off of their names on the ballots yet today they are there with this endorsement.
People must really be dumb I would of not wanted to hear one thing from them till they told me what was going to happen to my vote, guess you can pass anything off on the public and they will be accept it.
I am not surprised that Edwards endorsed Obama. It has always been my opinion that he held animosity toward Hillary for getting into the race. He thought this should be his turn since he had been the VP candidate in the last election. I think he and Elizabeth both were playing games so that their animosity toward Hillary would be in the background until he could pull the big one against her. If you remember back to the first debates he was pretty rude to her on several occasions It was obvious then and this just confirms what many have thought all along about the Edwards. I am sure many in Hill’s campaign were not surprised at all. No big deal. Casey could not even carry his own home district in PA.
Go Hill and again let’s not forget the big win in WVA. We have the momentum.
Just wait until those of us in the West vote. Obama will learn we love to cling to our guns and our religion.
I thought Oregon was Obama country.
I’m afraid BJinChicago is right. Oregon is expected to go to Obama.
No, they knew Clinton was going to run, the idea was to run Edwards to siphon voters off of Clinton.
Hands down.
And given that tomato is in cahoots with the whole Axelrod crew (which, reminds me, yesterday, while paying for a large vanilla ice cream cone at El Pollo Loco, I look up, at the drive through window, and who should the manager look like but Axelrod? I thought, OMG, David Axelrod manages an El Pollo Loco, working the window? Ah, well, you can draw your own conclusions)Edwards, that is, well, he’s just as complicit.
(The cone cost 1.93, I slipped him a hundred, told him to keep the change, and he gave me his card, right…)
And now I’m wondering if Kerry is DIRTY, say as dirty as Cheney…
The unthinkable to me, but who knows…
We are dealing with a well thought out strategy to take the Clintons down and return power to Kennedy,Daschle,Kerry,Pelosi, etc as titular heads of Party and money collectors all with Donna Brazile and the black caucus if obama was backed by elders. This is a coup…plain and simple. Power putsch.
The only thing that could have prevented this was Penn and Hillary’s strategy which was internet ignorant in fund raising,caucus planning, etc. WHY??? Because it was presumed by camp Hillary and Penn that it would all be over by super Tues.
Hillary had been given advice by advisors that Penn took outprior to her run that positioned her to avoid Iowa, therefore making Obama’s victory insignificant, while she organized and spent re: caucuses planning for victories instead of caucus defeats. This guy was gone when Hillary started.
Doyle, was a matter of loyalty but we see what that can do. She mismanaged money and people in a failedPenn strategy that allowed Obama to roll after Iowa instead of being challenged. it had also been sugggested by Penn that Hillary act “presidential” the subtext of which is stiff, and sometimes cold, and wonky. She has stopped this and become a superb candidate.
We have seen how Hillary has grown in this contest and enjoy herself. This joy is translated as optimism and has become infectious, along with her populist message which led to Ohio,Pa and other wins. But too late. Also, instead of disavowing Wright, she should have acted like MOMMA the President, and said we have no room for this, etc. BO would have been left to swing, and HRC would be a great “lady”.
I still feel Hillary was and is far better than any of her strategists, and Bill should have had a carefully drawn backstory role administered with discipline. But mistakes were made as Hillary could clearly win as we now see
how close it is. HRC also stood up to the worst barrage of sexism and hate from the left blogosphere,Obamatons, and most importantly…the press ever levelled against a candidate in my lifetime. Hate has seeped out of the Obama camp and infected his Robots.
When I go to Fox network to hear fair and balanced, then you know we’re in trouble.
Edward’s condescending betrayal speech did not surprise me, as I watched him sell his health plan down the river. What else he gets we’ll soon find out. But observing his openly hostile behavior in debates, and joining with Obama in gang bang behavior against Hillary always led me to believe he’d go Obama when it opportuned him the most. His aha moments in debates and open contempt for Hillary were ok. When Obama has been challenged, Hillary has been accused of being a bitch.
I admire HRC for continuing to address her supporters and keep going until all the primaries are completed. The psychological warfare game today was planned with precision to diminish Hillary’s huge win in WVa, and idiotic Brazile noted, It wasn’t a loss for Obama, it was a win for Hillary. Duh. Obama will not get my vote.
I expected Edwards endorsement since 2 weeks ago when all of a sudden Elizabeth said both health care plans, Clinton and Obama’s were Universal !
That was a give away; especially after the reporting that she got into an argument with Obama about his plan not being universal. Then she says, Obama’s plan is Universal less than 2 weeks ago (before IN & b NC)…. Go figure.
You’ve said it all.
Both edwards and Elizabeth have said hostile things about Hillary for a long time. Their behavior has been openly conemptuous, so this was entirely expected. Elizabeth’s rationalizations are something she’ll have to deal with as she knows damn well that Obama’s health plan sucks next to HRC’s.
The Edwards have sold their souls, their health plan, and their phony populist bullshit apparently fooled no one. He couldn’t get traction running with Kerry, or on his own.
So he’s a tag along opportunist who will betray his position for whatever he gets out of this. It certainly isn’t principle. He is unquestionably a weakling.
Edwards also talked about Obama’s poor voting record in the debate of 130 time present but I guess all is forgiven now and he is willing to side with a man that he once questioned and made a issue of such a stance.
Seems Edwards for thirty pieces of sliver is willing to accept Obama’s poor record and checked past, Obama must of really sweetened the pot for Edwards, Obama must of made him an offer he just could not refuse.
Soul food, I suppose, sweet potato pie and ribs.
Had a place like that by us, we used to eat there, long time ago when I ate meat, BBQ’d ribs, dirty rice, corn, mac and cheese, collard greens, corn bread, and sweet potato pie for dessert.
In Boston, Roxbury, we ate at a soul food restaurant one time, the only fair skinned people in the place.
An oddity, but everyone was very polite, and tolerant, really, of us. Imagine if four black people walked into a neighborhood place in Southie…
When living in Roxbury one summer, I traveled from Cambridge, (Harvard Square) down Mass Ave ( by bus) to where I was staying. And I would notice the bus population would gradually change from all white, to all black, until I was the only fair skinned person on the bus.
But I always felt comfortable, I never had problems, everyone very respectful toward one another.
Another image just BURNED into my memory, first time I had EVER seen anything like it, was traveling with my sister near Dorchester Bay, and watching a school bus full of small black children, maybe five or six years old, being escorted by three police cars, to kindergarten, from Roxbury, to Dorchester.
Little children’s faces peering out from the windows, saucered eyed, as kids will do, watching the police, and the idiot adults fight, everyone holding their breaths, hoping no one would take a shot at the kids.
(Busing was fought fiercely in Boston, one girl we knew essentially quit school at 11 years old because her horrifically racist mother would not let her attended class with black children, kept her home, defiantly, a child never educated).
Another time, on the T, as I was walking on the platform with the rest who had just exited the train, a white construction worker started harassing a black man, for no reason, just because he could, just because the man was black. This wasn’t a gang attack, as boys and drunks will do, which made it even more spiteful, an expected social order, institutionalized, between poor whites, and blacks, was manifested.
I had never seen racism of that type, before, not like that.
Certainly we had racists in Chicago, racist incidents, but you were to be ashamed, it was NOT tolerated, and in our circle, never expressed. I never really thought of black people as any different, different culture, yes, but always the same, always equal. Brought up, taught, in catholic schools, my mother and father abhorring racism, maybe it wasn’t the norm.
Or maybe it was class, the poor Boston whites warring with the blacks, as opposed to the wealthy people who really deserved their ire.
So, I gave a lot of room, feeling the racism was borne of ignorance, as opposed to hate.
Boston was a different place.
I saw it as class, the anger misdirected, which was a strategy of the early industrialist, if you can keep the poor white angry at the blacks, you can form a bond over a common enemy, “blame blacks for you standard of living, see them as competition driving wages down, not the white boss exploiting you, refusing to pay you a fair wage,” the old conquer and divide.
Deliberate move, though certainly racism was a motivator, too.
Edwards is a suckup…sad
Ok your moniker made me laugh…Donkey Brazziere….Go Donkey….
Heard that Barky was going to help retire some of Edwards campaign debt.
Well Why Not…The entire DNC is for sale….Hey AXELROD !….I’M PO AND I’M A CRACKER….AND IF I HAD’NT HAD TO HOCK MY GUN TO PAY RENT…
ANYWAY….I VOLUNTEEER MY HILBILLY CRACKER VOTE IN THE GENERAL IF YOU SETTLE MY DEBTS…..MKAY…..I WANNA BE JUST LIKE EDWARDS…..
I see Obama is recycling his South Carolina Christian imagery in Kentucky. He is such a joke. And why not mention Reverend Wright? After all, I am sure most Kentucky voters believe he shares Reverend Wright’s views. He did sit in the pews in Trinity for a whole twenty years, and his wife exposed his daughters to a vile pastor who humped the altar from time to time.
Yes, enough with Obama’s fooling about Wright. Maybe
someone should ask his daughters how is uncle Jeremiah doing these days?
Hannity on Fox News showed cover of Trumpet magazine with photos of Obama and Farrakhan on it.
Said he wants to ask Obama “Have you ever met with Louis Farrakhan?”
Hope Hannity stays on this story. Email him everyone and tell him to keep pushing it.
Ugh! I know I shouldn’t give a monkey’s about Edwards’ endorsement (he never liked Hillary anyway), but I feel so wounded. I am sick to my stomach that he decided to endorse Obama right after Clinton’s big WV victory. It’s so bloody orchestrated. They couldn’t even give her 24 hours to revel in the victory. Arseholes! I’m so done… on so many levels, I’m done. I almost wish McCain on these idiots.
1.) Hillary got huge 239,118 (67%) votes in WV.
2.) 1 John Edwards meaningless endorsement of a failing weak candidate.
3.) McCain got only 89,296 votes in WV.
Which numbers mean more in November?
Hillary has a plan so stick with her and turn off the television if you truly want her to win. WV was a massive blowout and the Obama campaign is out of steam.
If you can travel to an upcoming state to help please do. Keep donating, making calls and contacting the delegates and the media. Don’t let anyone forget you.
Stand strong like our next President Hillary Clinton. She has shown you her stuff, now show her yours!
I’ve been sending $25 a week since Pennsylvania. I won’t stop. Thank you “Perspective.” I needed the pep talk. I never thought I’d watch Entertainment Tonight or American Idol during the 7 pm/ 8 pm hour. But I’m doing it now. I just can’t stomach Chris Matthews and that hateful, spiteful Olbermann. Gone are the days when I’d hang on Olbermann’s every word. ::puke::
Block the channel on your cable box and let MSNBC know by emailing them at comments@msnbc.com
Join the boycott and spread the word!
I’ve deleted MSNBC from my set; it was very empowering. They need us more than we need them; kick them the only place it hurts them, their financials.
No, they knew Clinton was going to run, the idea was to run Edwards to siphon voters off of Clinton.
That’s a total crock of you-know-what. They ran Obama to siphon votes from John Edwards. Edwards was the REAL alternative to Clinton.
The DNC powers-that-be wanted Hillary Clinton, but the whole thing backfired when Oprah and the media flaks started pushing Obama.
Susan: The antipathy of DNC leadership to the Clintons is legendary. There is no way the Dem crew now supporting O ever had any intention of supporting HRC unless they had no other choice. Kerry met with O in Chicago in 2004 and recruited him to give a key speech at the 2004 convention—which got rave reviews and helped put Obama on the national stage. Howard Dean set up O in his Dem leadership program (12 new Dem talents were selected for this). Nurturing the O candidacy has been a big effort on the part of North Eastern Dem leaders—read Kerry, Kennedy, Leahy, etc.
Durbin has had a hand in this, too.
Then they are tools AND fools.
i believe they had two perfectly good, multicolored candidates, any one of which they was alright with them to win.
i think they didnt think hillary would turn out to be as tenacious as she has, and i think they are a little ticked off that whe wont just go away…
they’ve been following Bill Walshs playbook from the sf forty niners. remember how he scripted every move? actually he revolutionized the game in my opinion…
any way, every move they make, has already been written, even down to the minute to bring out the sd’s, to have the media play their part…
thats what i think
Can any one dig up video of Edwards in the debates or elsewhere “dinging”?
Nothing like words….
Thanks for deleting many of my comments on the old page. As I said before, decide whether you’re banning anything that isn’t strictly pro-Hillary (or, I guess, pro-McCain), and then institute a policy. But this blog’s mission isn’t to support Hillary Clinton, and thus I presume other folks are welcome here
It’s kind of funny but did anyone else notice how much Edwards’ eyes were fluttering during his speech? I remember hearing that excessive blinking is a sign of lying. His eyes were on nonstop rapid blink during his endorsement speech tonight. Another liar for Obama. Oh well, birds of a feather……..
hey larry, I was just slumming over at AmeriBlog and came across this doozy—

Hey John, most of these losing inbreds were sent over here through that Pedophile Larry Johnson’s “home of racism”(noquarter) site - those bottom feeders are pathetic.
looks to me like these Obamaphiles are losing what they had left of thier minds..Or do you think the Kool-Aid has something to do with it? AssHoles!
Is that a black jesus on the stain glass window in that Obama flyer?
Is that picture on the flyer going out in Kentucky? Is someone smoking something? What in God’s name were they thinking?
Yes it is a Black Jesus!
In Black Liberation Theology….Jeeeeezus is reduced to being a Black Militant Freedom Fighter from the ghetto….standin up fo the PO’ and The OPPRESSED….against those NASTY EVIL CRACKERS….Jews and Italians…
Salvation for the Immortal Soul comes throught the completion of Jeeezus’ mission of transforming society into the Kingdom Of God and Liberatin the
PO’ and the OPPRESSED….This was tried in Nicaragua and El Salvador…
** WHO KNEW JEEEEZUS WAS A MARXIST **
Liberation Theology is a CHRSTIAN HERESY….IT PROMOTES MARXISM AND CLASS WARFARE….BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY DEFINES THESE CLASSES AS RACIAL…IT PROMOTES RACE WARFARE….
OBAMA IS A FASCIST….AS ARE HIS FOLLOWERS….FASCISTS….
In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama’s life as a “secret smoker” and how he “went to great lengths to conceal the habit.” But what about Obama’s secret political life? It turns out that Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.
In his books, Obama admits attending “socialist conferences” and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a “hard-core academic Marxist,” which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.
However, through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just “Frank.”
The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What’s more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.
Kevin Now that you read that artical what do you think?
Frank Marshall Davis was buds with Ayers Sr.
So it stands to reason the was a letter of reference for Obama within those circles…
The evidenced so far has born this out.
Do you think that reflects good judgement? Obama was brought up with at least some exposure and understanding of who Bill Ayers was and it turns out that low and behold….
okay, so obama was gettin it on the ‘down low’?
he was doing this guy?
does his wife know?
alot of black men are in the closet, and live double lives, i’ve known a few, its more common than people know…
OKAY, MY BAD…
RELATIONSHIP, sorry my minds in the gutter…
LOL
“Can any one dig up video of Edwards in the debates or elsewhere “dinging”?”
http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036
The link was sent to me by a Republican. The site is clearly fringe and clueless enough to include the blond b__ch, but it has some good footage of Edwards going after Obama for never voting on anything that would show where he stood.
Thanks Mike in Nola.
Edwards…;Over a hundred times you voted present instead of yes or no… What you critized her for you’ve done to us.
BO; (Looking fetal) mumbleing “I understand, I understand”
A worthwhile watch around 03;00
A black Jesus with a clinched fist interesting, that sure was not what I was taught guess I will have to go check on my church because that Jesus sure does not look like the ones I have seen.
John Edwards is a Political Whore! He will go where the political wind blows…Literally! This man claims to want to help the poor. to help with healthcare. BULLSHIT!! All he want’s to help is himself. Watch and see….he will be the one Obama picks for VP! Just another Pimp and His Whore!
I love my Bubble Steve. at least my Bubble isnt full of SHIT!!!!!
Fogetaboutit. It’s too late for that endorsement to mean anything. It’s a blip on the radar screen and nothing more. Hillary has momemtum. Barry wishes he had her mojo.
I guess John Edwards hair is toooo tight
The RNC had nice things to say about Edwards’ endorsement:
THE OTHER JOHN EDWARDS: ATTACKED OBAMA DURING THE PRIMARY
Former Sen. Edwards Has Attacked Obamas Record And Experience:
Edwards Attacked Obama For His Voting Present Over 100 Times In The Illinois State Legislature. Edwards: Why would you over a hundred times vote present. Obama: John Edwards: I mean, every one of us, every one - youve criticized Hillary, youve criticized me for our votes. Weve cast hundreds and hundreds of votes. What youre criticizing her for, by the way, youve done to us, which is you pick this vote and that vote out of the hundreds that we have - (applause) - and all Im saying is, whats fair is fair. You have every right to defend any vote, you do, and I respect your right to do that on any - on any substantive issue. It does not make sense to me and what if I had just not shown up (Former Sen. John Edwards and Sen. Barack Obama, CNN Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Myrtle Beach, SC, 1/21/08)

Edwards Attacked Obamas Experience And Noted That He Is Relatively New To National Politics. Edwards: [I] think that Barack Obama, because he is relatively new to national politics, its, its not as clear to me where he stands on, on, on issues. And, and no, Im not faulting him for that, I justI think he just hasnt been around as long, so he doesnt have as long a track record (NBCs Meet the Press, 2/4/07)
Edwards On Obamas Early Opposition To The Iraq War: He Was A State Senator. Edwards: [Sen. Obama] wasnt burdened, like a lot of us, with the information that we were receiving on the Intelligence Committee and as members of the United States Senate. We were getting very intimate detailed information about what was actually happening in Iraq. Senator Obama, I think, what did you say? He was a state senator. So he obviously wasnt in the Congress and wasnt part of the decision-making. (NBCs Meet The Press, 2/4/07)
Edwards Called A Nonbinding Resolution Against The Iraq Troop Surge Favored By Obama Useless. That nonbinding resolution against the Iraq troop surge favored by Barack Obama? Useless, said Edwards. Exactly like a child standing in the corner and stomping his feet. (Roger Simon, Edwards 08: Talking Tough, The Politico, 2/1/07)
The Edwards Campaign Criticized Obamas Position On A 2007 War Funding Bill. The Edwards camp is taking issue with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for telling the Associated Press that if President Bush vetoes the war funding bill because of its timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq, the Congress will provide the president with another version that lacks such a provision. According to the AP, Obama explained this by saying that no lawmaker wants to play chicken with our troops. (Teddy Davis, Edwards Camp Takes Issue With Obama For Not Forcing Showdown With Bush On Iraq, ABC News Political Radar Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 4/2/07)
Edwards Criticized Obamas Previous Acceptance Of Contributions From PACs And Federal Lobbyists. Edwards: And Im proud of the fact that Ive never taken any money, unlike Sen. Obama, never taken any money from a Washington lobbyist or a PAC. (Former Sen. John Edwards, Press Conference, 12/22/07)
Early In The 2008 Presidential Campaign, Edwards Criticized Obamas Lack Of Substance And Highfalutin Language On Health Care. John Edwardsthe candidate Obama pushed into third place in the pollsis more specific, suggesting that Obamas fine words are no substitute for his missing health-care policy. We have a responsibility, if you want to be president of the United States, to tell the American people what it is you want to do, Edwards said at last weeks presidential debate in South Carolina. Rhetoric isnt enough. Highfalutin language is not enough. (Richard Wolffe, Details, Details, Newsweek, 5/7/07)
Edwards Took A Veiled Shot At Obama By Claiming That Its Not Enough To Talk About Hope. Edwards: I hope you will put a really rigorous test to [the presidential candidates]. I dont know about you, but Im tired of the rhetoric. Its not enough to talk about hope and were all going to feel good. Were past that. This is a very serious time in American history. Its time for anybody running for president to treat this seriously. I have talked about hope and inspiration in the past, and theyre wonderful things, but you have to translate them into action. (John Dickerson, Op-Ed, Edwards Emotionalism, Slate, 4/3/07)
The Only Way It Could Have Been Clearer That He Was Talking About Obama Would Have Been For Him To Hold Up The Illinois Senators Book Jacket And Point To It. (John Dickerson, Op-Ed, Edwards Emotionalism, Slate, 4/3/07)
It’s too bad Al Gore won’t endorse Hillary.
I know they’ve had a falling out, but the
fact is that if it weren’t for the Clinton’s,
Al gore would just be another obscure senator
from Tennessee.
It’s politics.
He waited till his state voted so he wouldn’t tick them off. The winner got his endorsement. It’s politics.
Yes you are right Uppity..It is Politics. Thats the problem with this country..the politics. And while these people play at kingmaker, millions of people are finding it harder and harder to pay their bills, get groceries, put gas in their cars, go to the doctor, find a job, or hold on to the one they have. That’s the problem Uppity……….POLITICS as USUAL!****SIGH****
Ah yes, but remember Obama promised it would be different….
Its dirty politics that is what it is, if you look at that kind of back stabbing done to Hillary by most of them there is no other way to call it but DIRTY
The real BO is openly disdainful of women. Taylor Marsh has this video on her blog:
OBAMA: ‘Hold on one second, sweetie.
http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view.php?id=27679
So blatant it elicited 859 comments.
so a reporter asks a random question from the back of the pack while obama isn’t taking questions and gets brushed off and that = sexism. aren’t you guys accusing barack of perceiving racism everywhere and using “the race card” to his advantage.
make up your mind. either that kind of campaigning is ok or it’s not. you don’t get to play the gender card so blatantly while accusing barack of dividing people on racial lines.
like hillary’s campaign, you just can’t find a consistent message.
Who has a phone bank for Obama!

Curtain Time For Barack Obama - Part I
Republicans have enough damaging information against Barack Obama to knock him off the ballot before the November election. Those at the top of the Democratic Party know this by now and voters need to recognize that if they nominate him they are throwing the election. Nothing else can explain why they would allow this disaster to happen.
The investigation called “Operation Board Games” will lead to Obama’s downfall and it will begin with what he claims was a “boneheaded” mistake in entering into real estate deal with the Syrian-born immigrant, Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, less than a month after Rezko received a $3.5 million loan from the Iraqi-born billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, who ended up with Riverside Park, a $2.5 billion 62-acre development project in the Chicago Loop.
Obama set his sights on a $2 million mansion the month after he was elected to the US Senate. It’s now known that Rezko got involved in the house-buying endeavor early on, although his involvement would not known until November 2006, the month after Rezko’s indictment was unsealed in the Operation Board Games case.
Yeah that stuff worked pretty well for hillary against obama. Nevermind rezko is about to be acquitted and regardless Obama had no connection to his dealings at all.
Obama’s teachers point out that he wasn’t fluent in Indonesian, even though he claims to have been in his fictional life story.

as a (white) child, the autobiography of malcom x was one of my favorite books of all time too. it’s alex haley’s masterpiece, even better than “roots” and a truly engaging portrait of a complicated, albeit important, political figure.
OMG I MUST BE TEH MOOSLEM!!!! *stones self*
Thanks for coupling racist overtones with a desperate desire to see sexism everywhere. It’s humorous to those of us who remain in the reality based community, where we can come up with better attacks on our foes than OMG U MIGHT BE TEH SEECRIT MOOSLEMS!
Since it is Obama who is shouting from the rooftops and tellin’ it on the mountain what a devout and lovin’ Christian man he is, doesn’t that FINALLY make the gospel he is a preachin’ fair game? I mena it has been off limits to question his religious beliefs because they should be “off the table”. Well, he brought them out to the table and served them up big time with this flyer, so it is only normal to dig into them and see what he’s been serving for the last 20 years.
I do not just mean Rev. Wright, I mean every crazy-assed preacher he’s assiciated with and all the hatemongering groups they are associated with.
Wonder if the Repubs are going to run the same kind of ads they did in North Carolina or if its not worth it considering that Clinton is standing on his head.
Shit! This man makes me puke!
I am suprised Michelle is not in the picture (re: Obama and cross) wearing a simple dress with pearls holding a bible.
You know why No Quarter is a joke site with no cred? Why Hillary is a loser?
She ran a horribly racist campaign that’s why. She doesn’t know much about budgeting either or reading the political landscape with anything like savvy.
I was a Clinton supporter until SC and Bill’s constant and unwelcome interference. Well those days are done.
Talk about “the real Clinton?” Who knows who that is? Who expected her to sink so low? Not I. Their racist code was unrelenting, not missed by most, and an undeniable matter of public record.
Never heard her disown the racist comments coming from her supporters AND from people in her own campaign. Never heard it from this site either.
Sorry but it’s the Clintonistas that are splitting this party by using all manner of subterfuge and pettiness to attack Obama as a cover for your own deep and obvious racial hangups. You will never convince me otherwise.
You would actually PREFER the Republican to win and for that reason I will oppose you with all the strength I can muster.
OBAMA O8!
