Obama Has Another Farrakhan Problem (and a New Preacher Problem)
By Chicagoan on June 3, 2008 at 7:15 AM in Barack Obama, Chicago, Chicago politics, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, Religion
Barack Obama has a Farrakhan problem — and YET ANOTHER PREACHER PROBLEM. Here is a screenshot of his website’s Faith page:
DNC Member and Illinois superdelegate Rev. Willie Barrow is a LONGTIME, dear friend of Barack Obama. She is a member of his Faith Outreach Team. Barrow has known Obama for many years, and she has met his children and his wife. Obama, according to Barrow, also attended many of her broadcasts.
Rev. Willie Barrow is also a close friend of Louis Farrakhan, anti-Semitic leader of the controversial Nation of Islam. In fact, Barrow shares many of Farrakhan’s viewpoints. She is also an unapologetic defender of the anti-Semitic and homophobic Nation of Islam leader. But she is also a member of Obama’s Faith Outreach Team. This raises questions about Obama’s faith and about his campaign’s choice of leadership. Should a President have close Farrakhan allies on his campaign’s leadership team? Does Obama’s Faith Outreach involve anti-Semitism and homophobia? Is this another actor in the Donnie McClurkin, Reverend “God Damn America” Jeremiah Wright, Reverend Moss, Reverend Meeks and Father Pfleger show of freaks from inner city Chicago?
Barrow is a staunch Farrakhan ally. In 2006 she condemned four members who resigned from the Illinois state Hate Crimes Commission she chairs. The four members who resigned are Jewish, and all four resigned as a result of Governor Blagojevich’s refusal to remove Sister Claudette Muhammad, Minister of Protocal of the hateful National of Islam, from the Hate Crimes Commission. Serving with a Farrakhan ally on a Hate Crimes Board was impossible for the four members.
All four commissioners who have resigned are Jewish. They include Lonnie Nasatir of the Anti-Defamation League, Richard Hirschhaut of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, Illinois State Rep. Lou Lang (D-Skokie), and Howard Kaplan of the Jewish Federation.
Michael Kotzin, also of the Jewish Federation, said the trigger was Farrakhan’s speech last Sunday referring to “wicked Jews” whom he accused of running Hollywood, controlling Congress and destroying America.
“(Farrakhan is) just using traditional bigotry, traditional anti-Semitism,” Kotzin said, “and we have sadly learned the impact of those kinds of words, what’s followed from those kinds of words through the centuries.”
Kotzin added, “The bulk of our community feels in our guts what’s going on and what this kind of language, what hate language is all about and how dangerous and damaging it can be.”.
Their reasons seem justified. How can one serve on a Hate Crimes Commission with someone who serves as Minister of Protocol for an organization that issues anti-Semitic hate speech on a regular basis?
Obama ally and Faith Advisor Rev. Barrow did not care. She thought someone who aids and abets Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic hate speech should serve on a Hate Crimes Commission.
At a Black Women’s Expo event, Barrow had little sympathy for the four members of the Hate Crimes Commission she chairs, all of whom resigned this week because Gov. Rod Blagojevich refused to kick Sister Claudette Muhammad off the panel.
Muhammad serves as minister of protocol for Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam.
“Not only should (Muhammad) continue to serve on the commission, but, I think those that resigned because they disagree, what have they done to bring about an agreement?” Barrow said.
According to Barrow, victims of hate speech should “bring about an agreement[.]” They need to learn to tolerate the hate speech of Farrakhan. They need to accept that hate speech will be condoned by a Hate Crimes Commission that allows members of the National of Islam to serve. Barrow had no sympathy for Jews who were offended by anti-Semitic speech.
Barrow defends Farrakhan, because Barrow shares many of his spiritual and political views. According to an interview Chicago reporters had with Farrakhan after his “Prayer for Peace for the New Century and Millennium” on December 22, 1999, he met with Barrow in order to discuss the Nation of Islam’s program.
For first address to our community and the world on February 24-27, I will tell you where we are going and it will give you insight into what changes Allah (God) has made and is making in me. We will be dealing with family. As Mother Reverend Willie Barrow said in a meeting with us yesterday, in conclusion, it is not that we are as divided as we think we are.
Obama ally and advisor Barrow joined hands with the anti-Semitic leader in 1999, choosing not to separate herself from the divisive, controversial anti-Semite who regularly issues hate speech against Jews and other communities. Barrow collaborates with the anti-Semite, which may explain why seven years later she had no sympathy for Jews who did not think it was appropriate for a Farrakhan ally to serve on a Hate Crimes Commission.
Obama ally and advisor Rev. Barrow has deep and lasting ties to Farrakhan. She is quoted in a 1985 article of the Washington Post saying the following:
“I love my brother, Minister Louis Farrakhan. The devil don’t like it, Chicago don’t like it, the world don’t like it, but we love it.”
Obama ally and advisor Barrow, member of Obama’s Faith Outreach Committee, approves of the following anti-Semitic and homophobic speech:
Obama ally and advisor Barrow believes people who work for Farrakhan should serve on Hate Crimes Commissions, even if Chicago don’t like it and the “devil” don’t like it. Is this change we should believe in? Are these the types of people Obama would appoint to his cabinet or to the bench?
This is more bad judgment of Obama. He has deep ties to the Nation of Islam, and his allies are defenders of anti-Semite and raging homophobe Farrakhan.
Barrow is a superdelegate from Illinois, and she will not surprisingly cast her vote for Obama. She should not serve on the Faith Outreach Committee. A defender of Farrakhan, an anti-Semite and homophobe who issues hate speech on a regular basis, she does not represent what is positive about America. Even the “devil don’t like it.”

When you go to the Obama website (which I’m pretty sure that Typhensentra didn’t bother to do ….) here are her comments:
real man. He is a Christian, husband and father. I remember he would consistently attend our Saturday morning broadcasts with his two little girls long before I ever met his wife Michelle. Universal healthcare, employment and education are the primary issues for me. Our children are not going to school and not graduating. The state is closing schools and opening jails. I think that people of faith have to broaden their ministries outside the walls of the church. Anyone can sing in the choir or serve on the deacon board but how many know the level of unemployment in their community or the number of people losing their homes?
I am just wondering where she gets her information from. States don’t close schools, school boards vote to close schools due to lack of attendance. Her riff is one more example of people refusing to take responsibility for their own actions. Pretty sad stuff there.
And in IL, this is due to men like Rezko, through guys like Obama, stealing taxpayer monies to enrich themselves, and their cronies.
Last I read, vital government services concerned with the long term care of disabled veterans had been affected, hospital beds remaining empty because money isn’t available to fund staffing.
Send money!
I did yesterday. And I tried to call Senator Levin’s office, but no answer [I live in Michigan]. I live in Michigan, and Fitzpatrick is a super delegate, too. I called Senator Levin’s office to inquire regarding any requirements or restrictions applying to super delegates, but no answer. Are there any?
are u a idiot lack of attendace u are stupid u must not know local politics. U need to open up washington post and look as DC schools
“are u a idiot lack of attendace u are stupid u must not know local politics. U need to open up washington post and look as DC schools”
Here’s the same comment without stupid and idiotic grammer…
“Are you an idiot? Lack of attendance? Are you studip? You must know local politics. You need to open The Washington Post and look at the DC schools.”
It still sounds stupid and idiotic. -Wb
(grammar not grammer)
well you are a good example of someone with no schooling and no class either.
beebop — The agenda is anti-Israel. Obama’s entire Foreign Policy team is anti-Isreal. The trolls are from Palestine. Everybody Obama knows is a muslim or an America hater. This is why Hillary Clinton continues to stay in this race. The Clinton’s know what Obama is.
Why hasn’t Obama apologized for going to Farrakhan’s Million Man March?
Because Obama and Wright were the primary organizers of that march.
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/04/wright-obama-helped-organize-march-with.html
He’ll be doing that soon enough after the Republicans get done with him.
Excuse me, but you’d be wise to let that go. Most black men in a America went or supported the Million Man March. Even blacks who Don’t support Obama. This march was about other things and not Farrakahn’s usual politics.
All I’m saying is I’d leave the Million Man March out of it. You’ll defeat your core argument with regard to Obama and his connection to Farrakahn which is about more than that march.
mimi — I respectfully disagree. Do you think Farahkan set up that Million man march to help his people? This was done to get recruits. He has now relaunched The Black Panther Party–a very dangerous group. Wright’s church is also said to have done good things for its members. However, this is a cabal of hate and no amount of good works can cover this up.
Obama helped him setup the million man march, along with Wright and Jesse Jackson. The Nation of Islam has been lying to and using the black community for years now, they have fueled the hatred towards whites, America, and jews, and with the dangers that Israel faces right now and us being stretched thin, it would be reckless to have a President who has been groomed with those beliefs and has a very close connection to them.
He needs an ocean liner rather than a bus.
He could use a train and add more cars as needed.
Fits right in with the sexism too. We all should remember the image Time Magazine used in April of Hillary bound by her hands and feet on train tracks.
Toooooooot Tooooooooooooooooot. DNC and obamarats aboard for the last ride to nowhere.
The rest of us can assume the position.
The whole thing has been railroaded so it fits well.
They come to my house to tell ME to assume that position and it won’t happen before I empty my clip and my dog has a snack.
Glad we’re on the same side.
Sick!
Oblahma and his gang of degenerates want to turn this country into a third world welfare nation.
That’s what happens when government corruption predominates, whether it’s Chicago, or Syria.
A little corruption is a BAD thing.
your “tell” was “welfare nation”. You are a Republican. Apparently you don’t know about Obama’s service programs.
Obama’s service programs?
The money goes right back to Obama cronies.
It’s the Chicago way…
LOL
Yeah he’s been very helpful. He got 100 million for Rezko to ‘restore’ apartment buildings that never got restored. Then he turned off the heat while Obama did nothing. He’s a real helper, Obama is.
And don’t forget Obama’s selfless charity in helping the needy crook appropriate the various billions of dollars in retirement funds paid into by IL public service employees.
I wonder if Obama will put Rezko in charge of privatizing social security?
First he has to beat a conviction for embezzlement of public funds. That might hurt senate confirmation…
Hmm, back to the chalk board…
LOL.
I mean, if the wealthy wannabes, and “leaders” of this country think putting a Tony Rezko or an OBama in charge of social security is a good thing, well, god bless’em, and more power to them…
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Elite, my ass, Seamus.
It doesn’t even work if the goal is to DESTROY social security….
Huh? I’m a Democrat and Hillary supporter. Want screenshots of my donation emails to Hillary for proof? Say the word OSAMABOT.
bella — with our women in burkas. This is the agenda — Thank you Pelosi and Dean for helping to give Obama the nomination.
Obama condones every radical the hates white people and/or American democracy. If this was any other country in the world , Obama would already have us in a civil war just like his cousin in Kenya.
Hey Irish! I’m a garlic nose! I don’t know any garlic noses who will vote for Barky. Do you know any Irishmen who will be voting for him? I mean they hate your ass as much as they hate mine!
This hate, ugliness, and divisiveness has some similarities to a civil war.
There hasn’t been this much divisiveness in this country since the Civil War. At least, under Bush, it was mostly the administration against the majority of the people. Everyone I know hated him. Maybe because I’m from NE, but I felt I could safely trash Bush with anyone, without them being offended. Now some of my friends are not my friends any more. And Obama supporters have become so nasty.
typical — speaking of his cousin Odinga. Odinga is coming to see Obama in July. Odinga’s tribe tried to overthrow the sitting President of Kenya and after he cut off a few heads they put him in the government.
lmfao
Perhaps Oblahblah is bringing Odingo over to deal with the Hillary supporters in the same way.
Nothing like a line of severed heads on spears to promote your vision of democracy to the masses.
Damn, It just never stops!
HEY TROLLS!
Michelle just threw you under the bus.
“Don’t trust bloggers or someone else’s opinion, because people lie.”
http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/06/02/news/local/16-obama.txt
She had to be talking about you, she’s paying you to lie.
What if she means us?
We’d be devastated, Michelle Obama the last word and arbiter of moral truths.
You’re kidding, right?
Well that would bring a smile to my face. For a cheating, racist,and affirmative action receiptiant like Michelle O’Angry to have the gall to call me a liar makes me laugh.
Notice the quote from the 18 year old. The Youth Movement has been entranced. Just like McGovern. Oh, and one more thing. THe George McGovern campaign registered more youth than any candidate since. That includes barky. All those baby boomers. Look how well it worked out for him.
Hillary is going to stay in through the Convention. I am so proud of her for that — Hillary or McCain–There is no option. I will never forgive the Democratic Party for what they have done to us.
hey troll!
she was trying to get in front of the tape scandal trying to defend herself already. She will have ruined Barky’s chances, so she will have to assume the position under the bus.
I wouldn’t want to ride on the bus with MEchelle Obama.
Doubt has been cast on Larry Johnson’s reporting the existence of a video of Michelle Obama using “whitey” while sitting with Farrakhan. Only a few minutes ago, the aide of a senior contact in the Democratic party emailed me - that a politician accross the political isle, has verified having viewed the video with Karl Rove. I was told that the release will devastate the Obama campaign. All GOP needs now is DNC to nominate Obama as the Presidential Candidate. If that happens, my contact tells that the video will be released first days of October.
Unless I, along with a few others, am the victim of some massive disinformation campaign, the tape clearly exist. Maybe someone should ask Rove. He can’t legally deny it outright.
http://www.stop-obama.org/
Always take everything anyone says with a grian of salt. But having said that, Larry is an analyst, CIA trained, and it shows in his writing, and thinking. No matter his agenda, his credibility is his currency. I respect political differences, but “covert” buffoons, playing operative, ala K** and others shilling for Obama, or McCain, are laughable.
The blogger boys strive to write complex paragraphs, and even those are a ghost, written by some unthinking mediocrity, paid by a thrid rate PR company, contracted by Obama’s campaign.
It shows.
This cannot run the US government.
Larry is no lightweight and the trolls that are hitting this blog know it. He would never say this if he weren’t sure. In addition, there have been people on TV who have also verified its existence. It’s just too darned bad Hillary doesn’t have it. Or does she?
Harp — the tape exists. If the Republicans wait until October it may be too late. Obama now has a cult following and he has them pumped. Ploof said he can make one phone call and get 10,000 demonstrators to Denver.
I think the DNC know he is toast, but they are afraid of losing the AA vote for the future.
funny thing they are losing the rest of the democratic base. i guess that doesn’t count with them. when they come begging for money, shut them out.
Harp — there was a meeting with undecided SD’s yesterday to get them on board Obama’s bandwagon and they wouldn’t declare. I find it interesting that they are holding back. Would have been nice for that Big Mouth Pelosi to hold back too. Wonder if she will resign–when it comes out that she tried to push Obama into the nomination.
they’ll have to carry nancy kicking and screaming out of the house and yank the speakers’s gavel out of her hands is what i think. that woman with her permanent pop eye stare makes me think one word. (degranged)
I wish those 10,000 demonstrators good luck with the Patriot Act.
Is this a plan to keep Bush/Cheney in office?
mimi — I didn;t think about that but now that you mention it…..lol
Those demonstrators better be peaceful and respect the law - the Patriot Act has rid us of our National Guard, now replaced by the brutal mercenaries of Blackwater - and they don’t play nice (as they’re not beholden to ANY laws).
…
You wrote “Rev. Brown” a few times when you meant to write “Rev Barrow” in the copy…
Likely automatic spell checker.
I hate when that happens!
Larry
michelle things that people lie on the blogs. yesterday in billings.
http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/06/02/news/local/16-obama.txt
but most important, read the comments …. almost no readers believe her. nice try
Geeze, another page scrubbing for Obama’s site coming up! Pretty soon that page will be blank! But not before the Republicans capture a screen shot!
Has THIS been discussed??
Were you watching at 6:25 when Democratic strategist Bob Beckel dropped a bomb on us? He said he’d heard through his political pipeline that a big shoe was about to drop on the Obama campaign. It has something to do with Michelle Obama. Beckel wouldn’t say anything more other than this explosive story may happen tomorrow. Do you think the GOP has something up its sleeve that could blow up Obama’s campaign? If so, when do you think they’ll unleash it?
FNC
Please take a look at yesterday’s posts addressing Michelle Obama’s “Whitey” video problem.
Yes. This is from Freerepublic
If any of you had the opportunity to watch Fox & FRiends this morning, you probably saw Bob Beckel being interviewed about todays political events.
Towards the end of the interview he announced to the Fox & FRiends hosts that he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.
The Friends turned white and asked what it might be…was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it meant that Mrs. Clinton would be the nominee.
So the die is cast, IMHO Hillary will suspend her campaign within the next 24 hours and then the bomb will drop, leaving the Republics to take the blame.
Beckel said that this will make Hillary the candidate. Whatever is on that tape (if it is a tape)it must be a beaut.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2025253/posts
The GOP are always all about making the Democrats look stupid. This tape isn’t going to come out until the DNC thugs and superdelegates crown O’bummer the nominee.
Then the A bomb will drop. The GOP turned in a matter of weeks and began salivating over possibly running against stinky BO.
I will relish the image of the asshats like Donna Brazile crying in their donkey cups. They never learn. Pack your bags. All you whiteys are going to be blamed and thrown under the bus.
Bella who the H wants to be on their bus anyhow? That should make for an interesting party. Black Liberation Theology African Americans, Old hippies who never got off the bong, Nation of Islam, domestic terrorists and radical Marxists. That should get them plenty of elected slots, right?
Oh, and Children. I forgot to mention Children.
Don’t forget the dorky Kos Kid Klub members that never leave their mother’s basements. Not even to clean their poop chair buckets. EWWWW
The Republicans want to wait for Obama to declare himself the nominee–for the ultimate embarrassment to the Democratic Party.
Pfleger exclusive interview at
http://www.suntimes.com
the reporter calls him on knowing Obama for 20 years.
he’s actually stupid enough to say that he thought the feed was
not on, that things need to be whispered now.
funny, I thought the problem is the things you think and say.
sexist,racist pig.
Well I guess he gets to decide that all by himself. It all kind of falls into the category of “She asked for it,” eh?
I would LOVE to know how that church sends spends it’s money, it’s charity ostensibly for the poor.
I would also LOVE to know more about Farrakhan’s financial dealings with Qaddafi, and other middle eastern terror group leaders, and financiers.
And personally, it’s not THAT much of a stretch to think some of this money ends up supporting groups who are fighting American men and women, our soldiers, in Iraq, and elsewhere.
I’d be really mad.
I hope someone is investigating, and I’m sure, they are…
Hillay supporters: this amazing video is Terry on Morning Joe yesterday.
Susan or Larry: You might want to embed this video and start a thread!
Terry explains what the campaign will be doing this week and you will like it!
That was great to see,
Thanks!
Share that link with anyone who might be falling for the Obama/MSM propaganda! Hillary ain’t no quitter!
I never click on anything to do with NBC but since it was you who linked it and it was Terry on Morning Joe I did and BOY, that was GREAT!
Terry is sure a happy man for the Presumed Loser!
Hillary has been SO positive and giving off great vibes of success and strength all along it is surely what motivates Terry too… and all of us!
GO HILLARY!
love the shirt and the bottle! Thanks Puerto Rico!
Terry is something else, isn’t he? I have never seen that guy down, ever. That was a fun video!
Like I said, for the most part, Latinos will never vote for Barky. They resent the way black people have treated them like unwelcomed competition, so to speak. You might say they have the same complaint that AAs have about white people. Funny how things come right back atcha.
Ok, visiting BO’s site made me ill. As a woman who has struggled to get ordained by the Church, it was distressing on the one hand to see how many fundamentalist pastors support BO (!) and how many far-left liberal pastors support Bo in order to assuage their liberal guilt. Very narcissistic compilation there… Found that part of BO’s site to be desperate, pathetic — and not sure what he really hopes to accomplish through it. Prove what a unifier he is? Of what? Nuts?
Some tattoo artist could make a killing making tire marks across the bodies of all the people BHo will have to throw under the bus before November!
the Rebugs and others already have an archive of all the windows from the Obama’s site. it is a work in progress, like 1984 when things r updated and changed daily with additions and scrubs.
I hear the republicans play a “futures” game on which week the New Black Panters site will be put back up over at Barky’s place. Up. Down. Up. Down.
too funny for words. i’ll wager the week that barfy is nominated.
Is Rev. Meeks destined to go under the Obama bus?
Click the link to read the rest of the article.
it seems sister barrow will joining us under the bus. sister, we have jewish voters here so play nice!
From Associated Press this morning - “Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said Tuesday that once Obama gets the majority of convention delegates, ‘I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee.’”
Still trying to keep voter turnout down troll?
“convention delegates” meaning at the convention. The MSM is taking that out of context. He did say “convention delegates.”
Nice try troll but no cigar.
This video shows what is really happening.
Hillary is not conceding this week. Also click here if you need more proof.
There appears to be two or more “open minds” here and I apologize if this one is not the troll one. Thanks!
You are in Clinton Country. We KNOW how open your mind is.
Your use of quotations marks is a lie, that is NOT what he said at all. Get the “IF” “NUMBERS” words in there and take out a few too… you obamarat.
Karma is just around the bend. Do the right thing.
John Fund just said on the Laura Inghram show that a tape my hit this week about Michelle Obama.
Probably from a Rainbow Operation Push rountable featuring Farakkhan, Fund said Beckel said on Fox. Fund from the WSJ said that the words are a bit ambiguous but that it won’t be helpful to Obama.
Now, I’m starting to believe about this tape. Fund corrects Babin and says that Hillary may win one of the states tonight. He thinks that Hillary will wait a few more days, and will warn the SD that the Repubs will chew up Obama.
Makes total sense to me. Killer oppo research involves looking at hours and hours of tape, including those of the most obscure events. The Republicans can pay the best people in the business. Most people would think “Rainbow Operation Push” - nah, I won’t look at that one. Nothing to see.
Aha a fellow PUMA out for a stroll.
question Arabella, since there is tape out there somewhere why doesn’t the Clinton campaign have it? Or do they and know that if they use it the Obamacrats will have one of their patented conniption fits and media will parrot Obamacratic talking points like they did the RFK fauxoutrage?
P. arty
U. nity
M. y
A.$$
I would crack up laughing if Mellon Skaife gave the tape to Hillary. I would just fall on the floor laughing.

OMG…so that’s what he said! This is absolutely amazing! For Beckel to put that forward and to say that Hillary will be the nominee, is VERY telling!
I hate to get my hopes up though! I’ve been disappointed so many times before.:(
I;m with you. I’ll believe it when I see it.
to you trolls out there dissing larry, go home now summer school is starting. since you failed the 7th grade again, you need to sign up.
Pardon me, but I had no ill will in mind. I was trying to alert readers of the blog to the Associated Press article. However, I should have known, based on the ridiculous name-calling, by someone that hides behind a moniker and others on this site, that I would be subject to ridicule for pointing out an article.
I am a Hillary supporter.
There is a difference between gathering information that is out there and simply reading every bit of Internet gossip and punditry. If I choose to walk around with my eyes closed it doesn’t mean people can’t see me.
You did not explain what you posted. If you don’t want to be called a troll don’t act like one.
And I think there is a troll who shares your name here. I apologize if you are not a troll, but you could have prevented our little exchange if you would have explained that quote.
Let’s get back to nominating Hillary now.
This quote was lifted from The Today Show. Meredith Viera asked Terry McAuliffe if Obama received the number of delegated needed to surpass 2118 tonight or tomorrow would Hillary Clinton go on or would she end her campaign. He responded with the quote that the AP cited. It was a direct response to her question. It was not out of context, as much as I distrust the MSM.
Thank you for the name calling. You bring the discussion to the utmost level of civility.
I explained what happened and apologized. Why are you not accepting my apology?
Please provide links to videos so we can analyze the information properly.
I heard Fox report this this morning too. We’re cool! You’re cool!
It’s just been a little hairy around here lately with an invasion of trolls who are worried to death about the whitey tape coming out. We’re all a little nuts with having to put up with them.
Thanks! Yes things are on edge but looking great for Hillary!
Ok let’s put it this way. There is no such thing as a “committed” superdelegates. I can promise you my vote but I can change my mind. No superdelegate is truly committed till August when the actual vote occurs. So, Hillary clinton could “suspend” her campaign right now, that doesn’t mean she can’t get the votes in August, which is exactly what would happen if Barky Obama’s skeleton closet were to drop some bones.
Obama can not get enough PLEDGED delegates to claim the nomination. He,too, will need superdelegates to reach the number.
But the superdelegates are not committed until the convention. Period.
He can claim a lotta things….but it doesn’t mean actually has it until the convention gavel says it is so.
I aks you, how could the Dems nominate Obama?
They won’t nominate him.
Call or Email Senator Specter Now!!!!!!!
Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), the former
chairman and now ranking minority member on the Senate Judiciary
Committee, is seriously evaluating whether he should call for
Congressional hearings. We know that the Senator’s political brain
trust was working around the clock to analyze a response to the DNC
decision. Although having no direct confirmation, we would expect
Florida Governor Charles Crist and Michigan Attorney General Michael
Cox, among others, were waiting for the Democrats to cast their
decision into stone before considering whether they should seek
judicial intervention as per Specter’s brainstorming.
Specter, probably one of the most legally astute of GOP Senators,
contends the DNC is violating one of the most fundamental of all
constitutional rules, that once a vote is cast it must be counted.
This constitutional principle, pronounced by the United States Supreme
Court since Ex parte Yarborough (1884) and reiterated as recently as
Gray v. Sanders (1963), is simply beyond reproach. This rock-bottom
constitutional demand applies to primaries as well as general
elections. United States v. Classic (1941). Reiterating black letter
law stated in Harper v. Virginia Board of Elections (1966), the high
court reasserted in Bush v. Gore (2000) that “once granted the right
to vote on equal terms, the State may not, by later arbitrary and
disparate treatment, value one person’s vote over that of another.”
I wonder if this idea will gain any traction?
ohimgawd….
Arlen Specter is doing something that I approve of? This is scary….
This is indeed scary. It makes me shudder.
I listened to RUSH, in my car and I nodded my head and he had me laughing about obama and his rotten bunch of buddies. Rush kept saying “does obama have any friends who aren’t complete loons?” Can obama name somebody, anybody who isn’t a radical, racist or terrorist who is his close long time friend?
The right can be right sometimes. Who knew?
dang, i was listening to hannity yesterday on the radio. who knew!
I can take Fox, but I can’t take Rush. I just can’t take the guy.
Isn’t it a sin that we need a Republican to point out that elected and appointed officials cannot reroute the People’s votes as they please? How sick is this Marxist party that they need smackdowns from Republicans?
he needs to do this for repugs, too, who also punished states with half a vote. but how embarassing for dems, to have the repugs have to do this for them. Nominate barky at your own peril, you fools!
They at least did it BEFORE the votes were cast.
The dems took them away from one and gave them to another and they also gave votes for “uncommitted” to somebody who wasn’t on the ballot!
The VOTES MUST count as CAST.
The delegates are apportioned but they SHALL be seated. The party is playing division by whim.
Jackie Mason lays the smackdown on Bacrack Haysoos Oblahblah.
Its sad that the Obamanutjobs just don’t get it.
But the american people do.

This video is the epitome of common sense.
Nobama Not Ever.
Thanks for Jackie Mason video. He can always point out the ridiculousness of the world.
I don’t think there can be any question of Obama’s antisemitism after this weekend.
Jewish voters in Florida turned out in record numbers in Florida to overwhelmingly support Hillary Clinton. Obama instructed his surrogate to tell the RBC that those Jewish voters were only HALF voters — Obama DEMANDED that these Jewish voters that provided Clinton with a large part of her huge delegate lead in Florida be treated with LESS dignity than the founders treated black slaves.
At least the founders had an excuse for what they did — there was a genuine “unity” issue involved. Obama showen his anti-semitism not in the name of “unity” — his display of anti-semitism was done in the name of personal empowerment.
Why else do you think Hamas loves him?
Sam Lufti to Britney Spears, with the Obama campaign as Britney?
Hamas as Sam Lufti, but not as bright…
America has lost it’s mind……
The Democrat party was created by Jefferson and destroyed by Howard Dean.
Not the first time though. Other left cliff nutcases came before him. That’s why we can’t elect more than two presidents every 40 years.
My money is still on Hillary.
A troll, yesterday, did another puffy headed Bart Simpson imitation, tagging and a’bragging about something called “operation chaos.”
Not really understanding chaos is the American way, period.
Divergent opinions forging a superior consensus decision, for many reasons, none of which the poor stupid troll can grasp.
Even if it takes a hundred years…

An untold story lies behind Hillary Clinton’s determination to remain in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination — the possible revelation of a shocking recording of rival Barack Obama’s wife Michelle.
That’s the word from longtime political analyst Roger J. Stone Jr., who writes on his The StoneZONE Web site that the recording purportedly documents Michelle Obama making racist comments in a speech.
According to Stone, Hillary aides are in a race with Republicans to get their hands on the offensive recording.
“On the heels of Michelle Obama’s quote that she ‘has never been proud of her country’ until now, the new controversy could turn the contest upside down, but it more likely” to benefit “John McCain than to boost Hillary Clinton to the nomination — if the alleged recording exists,” Stone writes.
He also asserts that Mark Penn, Clinton’s former chief campaign strategist, has told sources that the bombshell “could come this week.”
Mark Penn? Hmmmm. I wonder if he’s working this behind the scenes? If I was Hillary, I’d offer 5 MILLION $$$$$ for that video. I’d pay whatever it takes to get it. At this point, she NEEDS IT!
She needs it before August. Anytime before then is fine. Seriously.
I recall reading a lot of speculation awhile back that Republicans are not all that fond of McCain. But they know he can beat Barry. You fill in the blanks. Mellon Scaife didn’t do huggy-kissy with Hillary for nothing.
There is a political lifetime between now and the convention.
The beauty of it is that with Hillary having the popular vote lead, if Oblahblah and his Whitey-hatin Homegirl implode, the spineless pay for play dnc endorsers will have the cover they need to take the money and run right back to endorsing Hillary.
The Obamanutjobs are going to have the most stressful summer of their lives…every day, every minute every speech, ever imaginary reletive resquing war prisoners, every racist gaffe, its gong to make them panic.
June 30 days
July 31 days
August….yeah now that Hillary is out of the race, and there is no need for the sycophant tankstermedia to dump on her anymore, with little to no dirt available on McCain, where will they go to increase readers and circulation?
Its turn on Bacrack Haysoos Oblahblah time.
Face it, how many more leg tingling, sphincter puckering, lip smacking, testicle nuzzling, ass kissing, toe sucking puff pieces are left to write about this turdburger with the manufactured legislative record and the sleazebag political backhistory and connections?
Hillary is going to have a nice relaxing vacation and will look sensational in august, while Senator “only racists don’t vote for me” Obullshit will be getting it from all sides and popping out gaffes like the ping pong girl in Perscilla Queen of the Desert.
Come convention time the SuperSpinelessdelegates may be sweating so hard and the coverage may have gotten so damn bad, they may just take those 10,000 dollar donationas he gave out but not stick with their promise to nominate Bacrack Haysoon Oblahblah.
Or they could form their circle of wagons around him like blind devotees and go down like the titanic in the general.
In any event, one thing is for sure, the media love affair with Barry the Bullshit artist is comming to an end.
Whitey think it was going to last forever?
Also look for Donna Brazile to get arrested shoplifting hohos and dingdongs under that bad wig.
my fear is she concedes if she doesn’t win MonFRICKENtana
Why isn’t Al Gore standing up for her. For EVERY vote counting? For CLEARLY the stronger of the two? Is he THAT afraid of Blacks?
sigh - such weak skinned (mostly) MEN!
She won’t concede. If she does anything, she will just “suspend” her campaign so when BO implodes, she can step in and save the Democratic Party’s chances in November.
It’s like playoff season, second season, until the convention.
She is the only one advocating for the voter.
This transcends politics now, this is about the integrity of the American government, the electoral process itself.
I think I love you.
this woman thought people who approve of hate speech should sit on a hate crimes commission? they put this barrow woman on a hate crimes commission, even though she is a friend of farrakhan? who is this woman? who is obama?
She’s an anti-semite if she adores Farrakhan. She is part of Obama’s campaign. What’s that make HIM? An anti-semite. You do not surround yourself with those kind of people and not believe what they believe, do you? IMCPO, the answer is NO.
I am hoping for an upset this evening. Hoping that Hillary wins both states - and it opens peoples eyes. Just can’t believe that people will but PC-ness over reality.
My last post disappeared. Along with the person I was responding to. Maybe they were a trollie?
Anyway, I just heard them say Boxer and Schumer are getting ready to speak (not sure who too) but ms(puke)nbc just announced it and Mica (ack) said “maybe they’re going to announce something?”
DAHHHHHHHHHHHHh
she’s hoping for the OPPOSITE of what I’m hoping for but she said they would be asking them about the SUPERS.
stay tuned
SURELY, Chuck Schumer isn’t going to endorse BO??? He’s from NY! He wouldn’t slap Hillary like that, would he? I can’t see Barbara hurting Hillary like that either. When they both know their endorsement mean NOTHING until August and they’re unnecessary?
If they endorse Obama, it is against the will of the voters of their states.
Interesting.
You mean like Bob Byrd? John Kerry? Ted Kennedy? Casey? Richardson? Schumer would be even worse..being from her state. I just cannot imagine Barbara Boxer being that nasty to Hillary either. If she endorsed BO, it would hurt….me too.:(
From USA Today/Gallup poll:
Obama 47, McCain 44
Clinton 49, McCain 43
Crazy world. And people are cheering about nomination. Feel like Obama camp wants this done quickly - so no chance for second look.
What they want and reality are two different things. Hillary won’t quit this week.
While waiting for this I’m hearing MICA say BO is 20 pts ahead in MT.
Is that true? BLECH!
While waiting for this I’m hearing MICA say BO is 14 pts ahead in MT.
Is that true? BLECH!
ok the guy NOW says more like 4 pts.
sorry
Do you all realize how HUGE it is that I NOW feel
JUST as dirty watching MSNBC as I
USED to feel watching FOX
I should just throw my TV off the balcony (cuz it’s NOT all about me right?) roflmao!
I’m sticking to the net.
Goooooooooood Morning No Quarter Dimes & Shiny Pennies! :-]
Obama is set to claim the nomination tonight. However, his “win” is premature, since it depends upon the SDs, and they can change their minds.
I am presuming that Hillary will not endorse him tonight. No need to do so. She apparently is poised to upset him in South Dakota. Meanwhile, articles are NOW finally starting to hit that the anger among women is for real, and that the decision to back McCain is real. It’s as though the message is just now sinking in that this is not just sour grapes.
And there’s not a news source I’ve seen yet that doesn’t discuss the stealing of Hillary’s delegates by the Obama group through the DNC.
He is claiming an illegitimate win here. Not good.
As long as she does not concede tonight we are OK. And there is no reason for her to do that.
The MSM is blowing something out of proportion today that she will acknowledge Obama’s delegate lead tonight.
I’ll listen directly to Hillary for what’s next, not those idiots in the MSM.
What about the tape, though, is this a distraction?
Again?
Michelle is a liability to Obama’s camp, boy, they must be angry with her…
Is Kenya why Obama will never be nominated?
Will Obama’s Presidential Dream End Soon?

Just saw this:
HILLARY CAMPAIGN EXPECTS 25-POINT WIN IN S DAKOTA, TOP SOURCES TELL DRUDGE… DEVELOPING…

Unify.
Is this the Michelle quote?

It might not be, with Michelle available to make anything they want to, they can always make something more defendable.
Best Youtube rick roll video ever.
Sigh, Why?
http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/dorktower/archive.asp?nextform=viewcomic&id=1380
The MSM will be going nuts over the next few days. Hillary may acknowledge Obama’s lead in delegates tonight BUT as long as she does not concede (and she won’t) we are going to Denver! And plenty will happen between now and August 25. The nominee is not selected until August 25.
I just read they are getting this from the video you posted of what Terry said!
Ridiculous!!
It will blow over. The MSM will go nuts today and tonight Hillary will tell another tale. Let’s wait to hear from her. I’ll post the campaign update shortly. It tells a different story as well.
fox says she is not giving up her delegates but is getting out tonight
they’re confused
I believe —they are saying these things to discourage hill supporters in south dakota and montana —so they can sit home –and OBAMA possibly can gain some votes to get popular vote too.
I think that’s probably right. My guess is that her speech will be somewhat of a concession speech, but not entirely. Probably a lot of talk of unity and compliments and thank yous.
I think she’ll take the rest of the week to talk to her key supporters and see how to play this.
I’m personally hoping that they stick with her. I think his nomination is going to blow up before the convention.
The SDs with Pelosi are supposedly going to announce as soon as the polls close tonight. How tacky can you get?
No wonder those idiots have such a low approval rating. They seem to be clueless even about politics.
just popped in to announce that Hillary said she’s quitting tonight.
carry on folks….
U HAPPY
NOW STOP TROLLING
no she never said she’s quitting. i love the words you prix use. that is not what the ap said.
keep in mind (always) the wording that is used is intentional in these breaking news stories, for a reason.
This type of misinformation has been going on since the beginning of this campaign. The people in the MSM and the trolls have been doing this so long they can’t differentiate between their fiction and reality any longer.
Hillary is not quitting. Hillary will win.
Tonight, cue up the Van Morrison, because y’all will be dancing to the glad tidings from New York.
Breaking news: AP says Hillary will acknowledge tonight that Obama has enough delegates now
that is pretty much the wording, so she’s dropping out? or suspending her campaign?
We may live in the dumbest nation on earth.
it’s a sad day for this country when a complete newbie with ties to violent individuals, with such an empty resume, gets pushed to the top of the ladder simply because he’s black.
very sad day for this country
I hope McCain appreciates the vote i’ll be giving him.
You actually start to believe this crap, dont you?
Wow…
I swear, the closer you get to the center with that group, the more stupid they get…
ROTFLMAO
Now quote some statistics, ya tuba, and tell us how to win Iraq….
HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN JUST ANNOUNCED SHE IS QUITTING TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
ROLMAO at few bottom feeders still roaming around like Boo Radley all night waiting for the “tape” to appear. THE WITCH IS DEAD, DING DONG!!!
no that is not what it said but keep spinning your idiocy.
the ap says she acknowledge that obama the empty suit with no resume and ties to corruption and violence has enough delegates tonight.
fk you for calling this great lady a witch.
obama is corrupt and not qualified.
sad day for this pathetic sad nation.
hope McCain appreciates al our votes, he’ll be the next president
“THE WITCH IS DEAD, DING DONG!!!”
Michelle Obama died? Terrible news. I didn’t like her but I feel sorry for her children.
^^^^ OMG LOVE IT
THANK YOU!
HA HA HA HA
how dare you use bad word for hillary
u said “ witch “
u mother fucker –dog–donkey–bastard –
u can troll all u want –say whatever u want to say –
but dare to say another bad word for hillary –then u see –
LARRY pls get this bastrd ,s ip address,,,,,,,,,,,put it here so we can fuck with his nasty ass
I bet your mother has a loud bark!
Japanese cruiser, self deluded, five o’clock…
Sigh
Hillary Clinton will suspend her campaign and endorse Senator Obama tonight.
So now you have a choice…get behind your candidate (whom you claim to adore) and back Senator Obama and The Democratic Party, or reveal yourself as yet another GOP Shill who failed to keep the party split.
It’s over. The party is unified. Republicans, be very afraid.
Hillary is not quitting. Her campaign has denied that she’s dropping out. Come on people. Hillary will take it to the floor in Denver. And she’ll win.
Hillary is not conceding tonight! The MSM is spreading total bullshit today. Watch this video if you have not.
In the video Terry says Hillary and her staff will be on the phone with the SD’s the rest of the week making a strong case for Hillary.
More proof things are moving ahead positively for Hillary:
HUBdate: Election Day in South Dakota and Montana
by Howard Wolfson, Communications Director
6/3/2008 10:32:31 AM
Crowds in South Dakota: During the last day of campaigning in South Dakota, Hillary greeted voters across the state. “In Yankton hundreds turned out to see her. In Sioux Falls, campaign officials estimate 3,500 to 4,000 people attended the event at the W.H. Lyons Fairgrounds. Many stood outside listening to the speech on speakers.” One supporter said, “I’m really impressed she’s taken the time to listen to South Dakotans.” Read more.
Automatic Delegate Watch: Yesterday, Tompkins County Democratic Committee Chair and New York automatic delegate Irene Stein announced her support for Hillary Clinton. Louisiana Democratic State Party Chair and automatic delegate Chris Whittington also announced his support for Hillary Clinton yesterday saying: “There is no question that she is the strongest Democrat to go toe-to-toe with John McCain in a general election. It is our responsibility as automatic delegates to choose the candidate we believe best fit to beat Senator McCain. That candidate is Senator Clinton.”
An Absentee Ballot in SD: From her hospice bed six weeks ago, 88-year-old Florence Steen marked an absentee ballot for Clinton, fulfilling a life-long dream for a woman born in 1920, months before federal law guaranteed women the right to vote. When Steen died…her vote went with her…[Steen’s] dying wish will be multiplied many times in the official vote tally by people who intend to vote or have already filled out absentee ballots for Clinton, with Florence Steen in mind…The first of those votes was the most meaningful. It came from Steen’s husband…He decided to do something he hadn’t done in years: He voted — also by absentee ballot — for Clinton.” Read more.
Leading the Popular Vote: According to Real Clear Politics, Hillary’s popular vote lead over Sen. Obama has grown with her Puerto Rico victory. She has won 17,916,763 votes compared to 17,723,200 for Sen. Obama when every state that has already voted is included in the tally. Read more.
Previewing Today: Hillary celebrates Election Night at Baruch College in New York City.
The vote stealing criminal has not won.
CNN saying this is 100% incorrect. HRC is not conceding.
AP has really put out some funky stuff. Note that this is not official. “Sources say”….
She will, no doubt, end the nomination campaign. There’s no more states! LOL*
I can’t see her officially endorsing him. Why? She needs time to make her case to the SDs now that every vote is in.
The 200 remaining SDs apparently were NOT bullied into endorsing him before these last 2 states come in, so they can take this next week to start making their endorsements known.
Meanwhile, he’s going to have some explaining to do about South Dakota, if the polls are right.
If he gets blown out again, that will actually be the big news story.
How many people who hate and discriminate against others does Obama make friends with?! This man is not qualified to be President.
FOX says “AP story is incorrect”
Thanks, we need to put that puppy to bed.
Yes, they said they are pinning this on the AP.
DONE - SHE’S STILL IN TO WIN!
she is not conceding. the AP is just another one of the media
mafia sites tweeked by Axelrove. just like Alter, and Mika.
Eddie Haskell McCain is trying to get the women’s vote by praising Hillary. “Gee that’s a swell dress you have on today, Mrs. Clinton.”
I’d rather trust Eddie Haskell than Snidely Whiplash. Better the devil you know.
they are both long time friends, respect each other highly, and both highly respected for their long worthy political careers.
She drops out I’ll vote for McCain, I’ll support McCain, end of story.
What is infuriating is that if I disagree with Obama’s policy positions.
I’m a racist.
If I question his experience.
I’m a racist.
If I express concerns regarding his judgement, based upon his affiliations.
I’m a racist.
If I question his campaigns tactics.
I’m a racist.
If I say I will not vote for him for any or all of the above reasons.
I’m a racist.
I was brought up by liberal democrats in the 60s and 70s, I had and have friends of all colors, religions and backgrounds, I served my country for six years in the Army with blacks, hispanics, asians, philipinos, northeners, southeners, as superiors, peers and inferiors.
So I guess that I have to march lock step to my local racist store, get me a rebel flag for my house and a stars and bars sticker for my truck. I’ll stop celebrating MLK day and celebrate Jeff Davis day (it’s today - his 200th birthday). I’ll tell my black friends to f-off. I’ll be the oddest critter up here in MA. But because I have free will and can vote for whoever I damn well please, I’m a racist.
So be it.
Hell Kevin. I`m in the same boat as you. Never knew I was a racist, but what the Hell.

Clinton’s top aide rules out concession
Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman Tuesday told CNN she was not planning to concede the Democratic presidential nomination to Barack Obama — minutes after The Associated Press reported two senior campaign officials saying she was going to quit the race tonight. developing story
for fucks sake people get a grip… Hillary isn’t a quitter…
YES! I’ve been steadfast in my belief for months Hillary will take this to the convention!
Shame on those nasty propagandists for spreading that story.
I agree……IF she has the true support of SDs behind that. She’s not a kamikazi type. That would harm the country.
But if they privately tell her to stay in, she will. She’ll go through the motions of uniting staff, message, etc., but she will hold out.
If she does NOT have the support, she’ll suspend her campaign officially next week.
By all the signs, she’ll have the support. He’s tanking badly.
what the hell is going on with her “top aides” that they are screwing around like this?
i thought it was odd that it would happen early in the day, the announcement, before montana and SD vote.
this is insane!
Sounds more like an Obama trick to lower the turnout in today’s primaries. The fewer people who vote, the better he does.
Excellent article by Thomas Sowell at the National Review today. Someone more savvy than me needs to link it. It was very insightful to me in the way the perceptions are slowly being changed.
get out your crayons…
we need protesters with banners out in force wherever and whenever the Mugabe shows his face in public…
He still needs to answer to the american people for his vote stealing…
anybody know where his next appearances are today?
yes and sadly they’ve (probably) been forced to keep their mouths shut (their campaign’s mouth shut) on outting all the dirt there is about obama out there that needs to be outted.
the media, press doesn’t do their job.
this may turn out to be more destructive than idiot bush in the white house, seriously.
an empty resume, dangerous connections.. but hey he’s black so let’s elect him (obviouslY) ONLY because of that!
he has words like “hope” and “change” in his vocabulary!
ugh
Power Broker’s story already popping up now
He couldn’t change the church after 20 years. How the Hell can he change Washington.
why would hillary quit ? she just needs to suspend her campaign and let nature take its course.you trolls should be afraid, because if she suspends, that means that in a day or two, the media needs fresh kill to feed on….can you say obama ? you trolls are going to go out of your minds when you see what happens to your boy…..its going to be great to see the 1000 paper cuts ! boo hoo.
I’ve always thought if Clinton had something they would wait until the primaries were done and secretly let the DNC know what they had. I mean, if they were to show their hand now and Barack still one a state, the supers might shrug it off. So, it has always made sense to me that they wait until the primaries are over. Now, that doesn’t mean I 100% believe they have something. (I still ordered my “anyone but Obama” bumper stickers) But, if they DO have something releasing it before the primaries were done would be too risky. It also adds up to why Hillary hasn’t been going after him for all the racist/terrorism ties. It makes her look better not to.
Here’s hoping…
I hit on a link today for Illinois Bar I think, or some sort of agency that keeps track of lawyers. It was a page for Michelle Obama, it listed her maiden name, when she entered the Bar, she passed on her second try by the way. The most interesting thing is that she is no longer licensed to Practice Law. Why would anyone go to school to be a Lawyer and then after about 4 years no longer have a Law License?
Interesting. That’s a lot of work for nothing.
What’s a law license cost to keep current?
Second try isn’t too bad, remember Illinois has a separate section for election rigging, challenging petition signatures, dirty (but Legal!) tricks, voter intimidation, witness tampering.
What about Obama’s certification as a lawyer?
I wonder what the truth is on that?
I’m a lawyer. Are you sure Michelle is no longer licensed? That would be pretty strange. Perhaps she simply has an “inactive” license?
I don’t practice law, so I pay an annual fee to keep my license in “inactive” status. To have an active license only makes sense if you are practicing, because there are other requirements you have to fulfill in addition to paying an annual fee. If I want to “activate” my license again, all I have to do is pay an additional fee.
Do you have a link?
WOW the media has egg on their faces again, half the major news media outlets STILL have stories on their websites saying she is conceding tonight even after they say 100% they AREN’T. Simply pathetic.
Michelle Robinson. look for everything.
Interesting. I guess LJ will be called a racist for report this news. Incredible.

“I think the DNC know he is toast, but they are afraid of losing the AA vote for the future.”

yea, I know his *service pograms* Lennin-X would be glad to turn this country in to a third world socalist jenkem pot. He believes that the people should recieve their rights from the government, instead of the government recieving its rights from the people.

I remember when some schools were closed in Chicago and there were protests because the children would have to go to a school that was a bit further away. The schools were closed due to the changing demographics of the neighborhood (i.e., fewer children), not to some arbitrary decision by the state or school board.
You know what, J’hhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnn1? Only 12 year olds are stupid enough to think we’d fall for this…
