The Bolshevikization of the Democratic Party
By Charles Lemos on June 13, 2008 at 3:20 PM in Barack Obama, Barbara Jordan, Bolshevikization, Chicago, Chicago politics, DNC, Democratic Party
Bolsheviks (or “the Majority”) were an organization of professional revolutionaries under a strict internal hierarchy governed by the principle of democratic centralism and quasi-military discipline, who considered themselves as a vanguard of the revolutionary proletariat. Their beliefs and practices were often referred to as Bolshevism. We can safely say that Obamaism can be equated with Bolshevism, this is nothing less than a coup led by a new caudillo, Barack Obama. For someone who professes to want to run a campaign from the bottom-up, this is the inverse. It’s centralized control from the top down.
Via Ben Smith at Politico:
In a major shakeup at the Democratic National Committee — and a departure from tradition — large parts of the committee’s operations are relocating to Chicago to be fully integrated with the Obama campaign.
The DNC’s political department, housed in Washington, D.C., will be dramatically rebuilt, with staffers offered a choice of moving to Chicago, joining state operations, or staying in Washington, DNC spokeswoman Karen Finney said.
But the power will clearly be shifting to a centralized Chicago hub.
The DNC’s key role in coordinating political operations with state parties is expected to largely be taken over and overseen by Obama’s senior staff in Chicago, state party officials said.
“This is part of the implementation of the plans Paul [Tewes] discussed last week with the state party chairs,” Finney said. “As part of the efforts to fully integrate DNC operations with the Obama campaign here in Washington, in Chicago and in the states, political, field and constituency operations are moving to Chicago to work in the Obama headquarters. The goal is to consolidate these efforts into one operation and effectively drive one national strategy.”
People familiar with the plan said that state party staffers paid for under Howard Dean’s 50 State Program would be shifted to working for the presidential campaign, at least in targeted battleground states.
The move reflects Obama’s desire to maintain an unusually streamlined campaign, as well as his swift and complete takeover of a Democratic Party that isn’t always known for its unity. The move may also save the campaign money, as the Obama campaign can use DNC salaries and staff to pay for elements of its organizing campaign and avoid some of the duplication that has often dogged presidential efforts.
Such a centralization of the Party’s apparatus is an inherent danger to the big tent character of the Democratic Party. Obama is seeking to personify the Democratic Party. No one person personifies the Democratic Party. This is an internal coup following on the heels of the May 31st Rules and By-Laws Committee that was anything but democratic, the Democratic Party is now a Bolshevik party. Political parties in Western democracies are governed by consensus, not by fiat. There is no place for a Politburo or a Central Committee that dictates commands. Such an apparatus is inherently anti-democratic and against the long-standing principles of the US Democratic Party, we were a party of inclusion, not exclusion. The more you tighten the screws, the more we shall resist you.
Obama and his cohorts need to be reminded of Barbara Jordan’s Keynote Address at the Democratic Convention in 1976:
We are a party — We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.
This, my friends is the bedrock of our concept of governing. This is a part of the reason why Americans have turned to the Democratic Party. These are the foundations upon which a national community can be built. Let all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable.
There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals, and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.
As a first step — As a first step, we must restore our belief in ourselves. We are a generous people, so why can’t we be generous with each other? We need to take to heart the words spoken by Thomas Jefferson:
Let us restore the social intercourse — “Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and that affection without which liberty and even life are but dreary things.”
A nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good. A government is invigorated when each one of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation. In this election year, we must define the “common good” and begin again to shape a common future. Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us.
To listen to her full speech, please visit American Rhetoric.
The essence of a party is a diversity of opinion, a plurality of views. One person does not personify a party for the concept of party is, ipso facto, more than one. And I must ask this question, if this had been Senator Clinton moving the DNC to New York, can you imagine the outrage and indignation that would have resulted?
As Barbara Jordan put it, there is no executive order.

I hate Obama and his supporters. There is no way I will ever vote for this fraud or any democrat who supported him. The democratic party is dead. We have to look at it like that and vote republican straight ticket with the exception of those democrats who stuck with Hillary. I would love to know what she thinks about all this.
The party is not dead. We are just not fighting back.
This is so easy to fix, folks. The DNC handed over the Dem Party apparatus on the bogus claim that Obama’s the nominee when he’s not. (Go ahead, check their website http://www.democrats.org.) He didn’t get enough pledged delegates. The Supers can’t vote till August. It’s June. He’s not the nominee, so the transfer of the hedquarters and control can be challenged.
Let’s start using our muscle. Raise money with our PACS. Buy ads in the Wash Post and NY Times. Get our people in D.C. to hold a press conference. Get small newspapers to write editorials. Use all our blogs to broadcast this campaign.
Here’s the second part of the strategy. What makes this whole Barack is the Nominee deception work publicly is Sen. Clinton’s endorsement. She was wrong to give it, and part of our job here is to force her to own up to her mistake. We shouldn’t treat her as a victim, because she promised she’d stay in it until the end. What she said on June 4th and in her speech later is simply not credible. She knows Obama is a crook who ripped off the African American community in Chicago and will continue to do the same if not stopped. She knows about his connections to Iraqi foreign agents. And of course, she knows what the DNC did disenfranchised 18 million voters.
Therefore we must demand that she reverse her endorsement and restart her campaign at the same time we’re demanding that the DNC reverse its decision to illegally declare Obama the nominee (and hand him the keys to the store). Silence will allow this coup to be completed. A loud, coordinated media protest can stop it.
Please contact all the advocacy groups you know and suggest they work together on an action along these line, like IMMEDIATELY. Here are some contacts. Please ask them to do a media campaign and use the info I just mentioned, in addition to your own suggestions.

Time to Fight Back!
Or live on your knees.
I know which one I’m doing.
Thank god.
I’M ON IT – I AGREE – HILLARY HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO FIGHT ANYTHING BY ENDORSING HIM!!!
WHY ISN’T SHE TAKING THIS TO THE CONVENTION??????????
SHE SAID SHE WOULD.
I JUST DON’T THINK SOMETHING IS RIGHT…
DO YOU THINK OBAMA HAS PROMISED HER SOMETHING AND SHE AGREED TO IT????
HER WEB SITE ISN’T TAKING POSTS RIGHT NOW, SO EVERYONE SEEMS A BIT IN THE DARK ABOUT WHETHER TO FIGHT ON TO DENVER OR CAVE IN…
HE ISN’T THE NOMINEE YET, BUT SHE SURE MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS OVER FOR HER…DO YOU THINK SHE WAS PUSHED INTO DOING THIS???
WISH I COULD CALL HER AND SEE WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS US TO DO……
WHO EVER HEARD OF THE DNC MOVING TO THE CANDIDATES CITY????
I DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN OR HIS STAFF……..HE IS SO FRIGGIN ARROGANT IT JUST MAKES ME SICK…….
FRUSTRATED IN CA…………..
First of all the convention isn’t till end of August and for all we know she will be fighting to be heard and for a rollcall, at least.
She gave Ickes permission to take it to the credentials committee, and they might have done that already or perhaps it is in the works.
I don’t think she cut a deal with ob or anyone else, but maybe she was forced to, who knows.
Hillary fought for us. It is now the time for us to fight for her.
We don’t know how DNC is trying to force her to do their bid. In my opinion her silence is shouting resistance.
We have to be able to think for ourselves. She gave her speach on “what does Hillary want?”. That is exactly what she wants.
And one day we will brake the last glass ceiling and launch a woman in the White House. It can be this November if she is becomes the nominee. It will be in 2012 if she is not the nominee. Obama will NEVER see the White House from inside without paying a tour guide.
Beyond what Hillary wants – we want to save our country from an other GW Bush who wants to learn on the job, but has good political instincts.
Lead us and we’ll follow.
We’re all spinning our wheels, waiting for a plan.
I agree with you. My fellow conservatives have posted their thanks and gratitude at Free Republic for Hillary and her supporters.
My friends at Free Republic have posted their thanks to Hillary supporters. Keep up the good work. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992769/posts
VOTE McCAIN AND CORNYN
Pay attention African Americans:
I have a co-worker who has an account at Black Planet. I am going to save links to these pages, so African Americans can see the true DEMONaRAT party. John McCain has 24% of the black vote in Michigan…this campaign of education is spreading. You evil, corrupt dems are done. You can take your abortions, AIDS, welfare and lack of education and keep it down south where it belongs. You dems are not fit to run anything–nothing. The real democratic or should I say DEMONcRAT party. Full of baby killers, sodomites, welfare leeches, racists and general dummies.
All African Americans with jobs and pride, please hear me. When Obama loses, come home to the republican party. This is the real democratic party. We republicans depise them. Evidence is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992769/posts
Blacks, this is the real democratic party. The party of “black codes” Johnson, George Wallace and the Southern manifesto.
Republicans freed the slaves and gave you your rights. The first black senators were republican. Most of the signers of the civil rights bill were republicans. Ronald Reagan appointed Colin Powell to be National security advisor. George Bush appointed a black and a black woman to be secretary of state. Dems have been killing your babies, ruining your families and putting you on the back of the bus for advancement for hundreds of years. Educate yourselves…because what you see here is the real democratic party. Never ever vote democrat again.
You can see with your own eyes they hate you.
You can move HQ locations, but you can’t move around on your policy speeches. Sen. Obama has been inconsistent on Israel, Iran, Foreign Policy, and much much more. To stay informed on these developments and more on Obama go to http://www.obama-wire.com

Obama moves DNC operations to Chicago
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/Obama_moves_DNC_operations_to_Chicago.html
Oh, it was down temporarily while they “fixed” it. Better now:
In a coup destroying democratic principles, the DNC is being moved to Chicago where it will be run by Obama.
The DNC’s political department, housed in Washington, D.C., will be dramatically rebuilt, with staffers told to either move to Chicago, joining Obama’s operations, or stay in Washington, clinging to old fashioned ideas that the party belongs to all of us.
Only a fool would think they can continue in the DNC without pledging loyalty to the new power broker.
“This is part of the plan to fully integrate DNC operations with the Obama campaign here in Washington, in Chicago and in the states. The goal is to consolidate these efforts into one operation and effectively drive one national strategy with power being irretrievably given to Obama and the Daley machine.
The move reflects Obama’s desire to maintain an unusually repressive campaign, as well as his swift and complete takeover of the Democratic Party. The move may also save the campaign money, as the Obama campaign will have full control and will only fund the campaigns of loyalists. “Anyone who doesn’t like it can leave,” said Donna Brazile. “Okey dokey said millions of disenfranchised Democrats who thought it was their party, not Obama’s.
(This is a parody, folks. Don’t get em bunched.)
Ahhhhhh, the eloquence and wisdom of Barbara Jordan who saw “the common good.”
But then again, she understood, practiced, AND lived the principles of the Democratic Party.
She also did not fudge on the rules.
That is Fucked Up.
Yea! Donkey is back! I’ve missed you!
at times like this i find this video very amusing…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Ned5TQoW4
especially the very end of it where John Kass points out that there are no coincidences in Chicago politics…
Daley+ Rezko+ Obama = criminal gang
can’t wait till this Chicago crime wave goes national…
Fitzgerald is going to need and army of good guy reinforcements to take down all the crooks the dumb obamatrons are empowering.
He got them, I thought the FBI increased it’s Chicago staff by 50 per cent, not too long ago…
Coming from China, these all sound so familiar, scarily so.
Kat I think I remember you – did you say a few months ago Change is good but sometimes Change can go too far?
DNC is more like China Communist Party now. Centralized means censored.
I don’t see this as a problem. Barack has talked of change from the usual DC politics. This would be a good thing. It would get the DNC out of the beltway and be more in touch with the people.
I now understand this is what he meant by changing Washington, just move the corrupted party apparatus from Washington to another location that has more familiar surrounding to him, and doing this with the help from all those familiar Washington insiders.
Look, it’s Barack’s party now, and he will clean it up as he has promised.
ROTFL!
Clean as in purge ?
That is so funny considering that he is replacing one group of corrupt politicians with another …
The Democratic Party was NEVER ONE persons party and he is destroying it.
Surely you jest. He’s moving the DNC to his home state, the state known for corrupt politicians and corrupting politics.
If you don’t see a problem with this, then you are way too far gone to be saved.
Really, Washington has been as dirty as Chicago, for quite awhile.
This just ties a bow on the package.
Kinda funny, if they got the joke.
Yeah, nothing says “in touch with the people” like a criminal, corrupt political syndicate in Chicago, which is notoriously known for it’s corruption.
I don’t know. After my city being called corrupt for so long, I am just enjoying the saintly praises and flattery our fair city has been receiving from the Obama camp.
It is not about the physical location but about control. The Democratic Party has long been a BIG TENT party and now it’s clear that it is either Obama’s way or the highway. It’s about dissenting views not finding the air to circulate. This is not a positive development. It’s control from the top down, not from the bottom up. It is the exact opposite of you wrote. It’s not a party divorced from its roots.
Here’s an article on Germany’s SPD, another left of center party that has forgotten its working class roots is now in danger of becoming obsolete:
Whither Germany’s SPD? A Lesson for the US Democratic Party
Do you really feel ok with this? Chicago isn’t transparency and moving the DNC just means changing the location. Will they move again if he is not elected or doesn’t receive the nomination? If he is elected and serves four years, will they move again? Or will they move it in eight years if he should serve eight years?
I have asked this question so often and I never get an answer. What change is he planning other than moving the headquarters of the DNC? There is a video on another thread with a statement from 2004 where he says he doesn’t plan to remove the troops from Iraq. John Kerry said universal health care is a “non-starter”.
His economic advisor, Austan Goolsbey, favors free trade and has told the Canadian government as much. His campaign manager, Axelrod, is a former lobbyist and one of the people he chose to vet vice presidential candidates has financial connections to Countrywide Mortgage, a sub prime lender.
It will come as a big surprise to many Democrats the Party belongs to him, Brazil, Pelosi, Dean, Reid and other members of the elite group comprising the DNC. We, mistakenly, believed the Party was ours, the goals were ours and the ideals were ours.
One thing for sure, the votes are ours and the Republicans will be watching for dead people voting and disenfranchised Democrats will be watching while their former Party goes up in flames.
The Denver Police Dept. is worried they won’t have enough cops to watch the Black Panthers, Code Pink and others trying to rehash the 1968 Democratic convention and threatening to riot if Obama doesn’t win the nomination. It wouldn’t surprise me to see armed men outside polling stations in Nov.
You may call it unity to move the Party to a candidate’s state, but I call it sinister.
Do these young Obama followers understand that “unity” and “streamlined” and “centralized” runs counter to “bottom up” and “grass roots” and “decentralized”?
Well at least we know Chicago is at the bottom now.
Tim Russert just died? Holy shit.
Yeah. Tim Russet dies and Jack Cafferty lives. Where is the fairness in life?
Hope neither Matthews nor Olbermann take over Meet the Press.
That is what they are saying. Either to take over.
Did you all know Tim of Meet the Press died?
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OBIT_RUSSERT?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=HOME
The Democratic Party is a sad state of affairs. Well they can have it. I’ve already left and won’t be looking back. This reminds me of the many hostile takeovers I’ve either witnessed or been a recipient of. There is a real opportunity here for a new coalition or party to take hold for the refugees and other disenfranchised voters. JustSayNoDeal.com is a good start.
It’s like Bush II: Electric Boogaloo
Only this time it’s Obama instead of Bush.
I don’t know that I have ever seen a Democratic candidate I regarded as scarier than the Republican. If Obama wins the nomination and the election, this nation will be left witout an instrument for progresive change. We will be post-Soviet Russia with two thoroughly corrupted parties as the only offering.
The people arguing that we should vote for Obama because he is better than McCain sound a lot like the poeple who were defending the ramp up to the Iraq war. In a lot of cases, including WKJM, they are the same persons.
There is no way I will vote for Obama. I’ve been planning on writing in Clinton’s name but we are fast approaching the point where I think mcCain winning is essential to the health of the nation and the Democratic party and the future well-being of the world. Obama may be a better president in some sense, but the Democratic party as an organ of Obama’s will is far worse for the nation and the world than four years of McCain.
If the Democratic party of the United States, in its collective wisdom, nominates a yellow dog for the presidency of the United States, I’ll for the yellow dog but lower than that, ye shall not drag me.
Charles,
This is an excellent piece that needs to be read by a much larger audience–The New York Times, for example. Unfortunately, however, they’ve join the Bolsheviks, and can no longer be trusted to present a critical analysis.
I hope people realize the import of this. The Big Tent Democratic Party no longer exists now. And it is a coup. You are 100% correct.
What’s that old saying?
Well I am historian so yes I see parallels that perhaps others do not.
Will you elucidate please?
Bolshe… – I have a hard time with that word. We call it Chicago politics here in Chicago.
That’s funny!
How long have they been similar, Soviet style politics, and Chicago politics?
Since the first wave of gangsters, in the 1930’s?
Or even before, as during the haymarket riots?
I have just changed my party affiliation. Could not go as far as changing it to the Republican Party, but I could no longer be associated with the Democratic “Party”. I feel like I need a shower.
You know, I was going to change mine, but a friend told me to leave it at Dem so that it will be clear that my McCain vote was one of dissent against Obama and the DNC.
I’m staying Dem. I called Pelosi’s office and said I want to be a good Democrat and will continue to vote downticket Dems but will vote McCain. Said I am not angry just concerned for my country.
I thought about the same thing before I changed to Independent. But, I truly couldn’t handle what the Party is turning into. It disgusted me so badly, that, like I said, I felt so dirty that I needed a shower. I changed my affiliation to Independent. He is vying for Independent votes too. So I am happy to deny him mine.
I left on Monday…changed to DST–Declined to State–which is basically “unaffiliated” here in NM….
I detest the Democratic Party.
Contrast between McCain and Obama:
Obama represents change, McCain represents business as usual.
Obama wants to give peace a chance, McCain wants 100 years of war.
Obama represents unity, McCain represents divisiveness.
Obama is articulate, McCain is clueless and gaffe-prone.
Obama is intelligent, McCain is stubborn.
Obama is a loving family man, McCain ditches his wife for a blonde bimbo.
Obama is patriotic, McCain doesn’t American troops dying is too important.
Obama is inspirational and exciting, McCain is a cranky old white male.
Obama believes in women’s reproductive rights, McCain doesn’t.
The choice is clear. Obama 08!
So-called Freedom Fighter, you are a numbskull. You’ve been sold a bill of goods and all you can do is spout of platitudes. Go back to school, take some night classes. Do something to improve your ability to think. You poor little thing, you are clearly duller than dogshit.
You can call me names, but what I wrote is factually accurate.
You are ill informed.
Obama is articulate, McCain is clueless and gaffe-prone.
You can call me names, but what I wrote is factually accurate.
What a, um, deludanoid, um.
Why don’t you go on HuffPo and search McCain + gaffe?
Why don’t you put down the kool-aid, as has been suggested, and Google ‘obama gaffes’.
You may be in for a shock.
Do your parents know you’ve joined a cult?
No, you are a LIAR!
WE.WILL.NOT.VOTE.FOR.OBAMA!
factually accurate per Obama and bots, and with all the lies and flip flops I wouldn’t take your so called- facts to the bank.
NOBAMA!
obama is articulate mccains gaffes? hmmmm McCain didn’t claim there were 57 states, I could provide plenty more, but won’t waste my time….as for the rest of your bullshit that is all it is bullshit….oh but change yeah we see where he wants to take us….and I say NO WAY IN HELL!
And we fight for your freedom to say it. Unlike at pro-Obama HuffPost and its censorship.
I am not affiliated with HuffPo, but I am sure they don’t censor content, only abusive posters.
They absolutely do. From commentors from the right AND the left – i.e. Greens and Nader supporters.
I have seen plenty of pro-Hillary posts on HuffPo.
Listen comrade troll, you’re not speaking to illiterate starving peasants in some 3rd world country that will embrace lies and propaganda only to realize too late what’s been imposed on them.
We know who and what Obama is and who his backers are. There is NOTHING democratic about them!
Clyde is right. I don’t use profanity and don’t threaten people. Huffpo stopped posting my comments several weeks ago.
You are an idiota!
If Obama really wanted all these things why didn’t he just endorse Hillary who had the experience to do what she said. The point is that Obama is a novice. He will not be elected. I am beginning to think Obama has been the republicans puppet all along. Who else would cheat and lie their way to the nomination while smearing a mainstay of the Party (Bill Clinton)? Obama is the Bush of the left. It is very sad. Obama is Dean’s wet dream of becoming president this time. McCain is his own man. Yes, the republicans will make him their champion but we all know John McCain is an Okay guy… he is our favorite republican. And Obama is a marxist, black power freak.
Hillary’s negatives are too high, and her divisive nature makes her the weaker candidate in the general election. Obama has cross over appeal with Independent and even some Republicans.
LOL. Have you checked Obama’s lately?
I guess this is why he lost Puerto Rico and South Dakota? And limped across the finish line and had to have delegates given to him in Michigan and was making strong arm phone calls? Yeah. He finished HUGE! hahahahahahahahahahaha
You’re describing Nobama. If Hillary has baggage Obama’s got friggin’ cargo!
And Obama is the one who’s divided the party. I’m sure Karl Rove will send him a nice Xmas present.
I have never heard such irrational claptrap in my like.
You simply made a personal decision, then looked to justify it with any specious fact that would sound acceptable.
Nothing to do with truth, nothing to do with the reality you are facing.
No wonder you keep getting your asses kicked.
freedom your a litle punk the only ones who have been divisive is punks like you, obama, his campaign and the media. Unlike obama Hillary has been completely vetted and NOTHING, NADA, ZIP but obama? It is beginning to come out and Wright was enough for some. so take your right wing smear job and stick it.
His are higher than hers now. He only had low negatives early on because nobody knew him. Now people know him and they do not like him.
Tell me about Hillary’s divisive nature. I would like specifics.
Get off the kool-aid and you may see clearer, or better yet go read a book about Hitler,maybe you will be smart enough to figure out what will happen if Obama gets in office
You sound like a recording. And there is no one home here for you. We are now independents. You can’t badger us or yell at us, we are out of your reach.
It doesn’t really matter what your party affiliation is on paper. The fact is, your core beliefs probably overlap with Obama’s at about 90% of the time, and only 10% of the time with McCain. Does it make sense to vote for someone who agrees with you only 10% of the time over someone who agrees with you 90% of the time? Let’s be honest, could race play a role at all?
Not if the 10% (one person, one vote) underlies all else.
Race? Please.
Bush = sociopath, Obama = sociopath. I never vote for the sociopath. You have to draw the line somewhere!
Obama is leading DNC to Soviet Union politics, one party, one voice. He is Hitler II.
To compare the man who is the successor to JFK and MLK to Hitler is just vile! Shame on you!
Successor to JFK and MLK implies he will be assasinated.
Military stooge would imply he will not…
I don’t want unity. I want someone to fight against the scoundrels who have damaged our country. I want someone with the gumption to stand up for people’s rights. Not preach at me how how have to be understanding of those who’d dictate what I can do with my life and body.
And if I want inspirational, I’ll go to the Hallmark store.
Well said!!! That’s what I saw in Hillary, someone who has been scum attacked enough to know you take’m down and take’m OUT!!!! Reduce those fucks to scampering hamsters, whining to get minority seats on The Senate Select Committee on Human Waste Disposal meeting in the parking garage, turn JoJo the Monkey-face Senator into a Senate Greeter (I), impeach the Supremes, imprison the NeoCONs – kuym-buy-yah-my-ass, take no prisoners and eat their dogs . . .
But instead we get “Hope” . . . interesting that the ‘Non-Confirmed Candidate” is moving the DNC to Chicago . . . must have a good deal on vacant Resko Offices and lucky BO won’t even have to change his parking spot . . .
Oh Lord, just reading that Barbara Jordan speech gave me goosebumps!! I’m going to have to link to that tonight in a post that I’ve been itching to write all day. Now, I know why I didn’t write it earlier. I need to see that speech. Obama is defrauding people into believing that he is the only one who can help them. I was JUST telling my best friend, an Obamazoid LAST NIGHT that we didn’t need him to get things done. We’ve had it in us all along! Oh gosh, I’m so fired up, I’m about to write the post right here! lol But, Obama is an enabler. A welfare program on legs! Still nearly writing the post. lol Let me leave it at that. I have so much to say about this con artist and his con artist wife and the effects they are having on Black America and the country as a whole I could write my own book!
Write it..and let us know. I’ll be first in line to buy it!!!!!!!!
Folks – congressional aides talk and socialize with each other. Call your Congressional reps and Senators and tell them the move from DC to Chicago has you worried.
Today I called Speier, Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein. I also called the DNC who said the story wasn’t true, just a few people moving to Chicago. But the thing is – I donated $ to the DNC, not to Obama. He’s barely the presumptive nominee. This ain’t right.
Get the watercooler buzz going. Call.
You donated money to the DNC, not Obama.
Unfortunately , Obama IS the DNC. Even Hillary’s site goes to Obama.
He is not a representative of the party,he controls it, and the media, and the thoughts of anyone unable to think independently.
Unless people vote directly AGAINST him by voting Republican, HE WILL WIN.
OK … I sent money to her campaign today. Are you telling me that that fraud in Chicago gets it? If that’s the case, I want it back!
Stop payment quick.
No the money to the Hillary campaign goes to Hillary. Please continue to support her. She needs to take those delegates to the convention debt free with some working room.
No the money is going directly to Hillary and it will do so until the debt is paid off and it even has to be that way legally. Please check:
http://heidilipotpourri.blogspot.com/
and note that Hillary I will never believe will contribute any money – none – to this idiot Obama.
THE CLINTONS ARE NOT ROLL-OVERS AND THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT DONE. CONSIDER THAT THIS IS HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON.
Sorry I had to scream there but this has barely been two weeks and if we are in shock, consider where they are. But these are consummately brilliant people who will get it back together and they will make the decision as to when to spring that on the public. What it is that they have put back together that is. The Clintons have gone NOWHERE. They are now most likely working harder than during the primary season. What they are working on…. personally, I do not want to know because it needs to take place in private. Hillary and Bill are the consummate definition of a phoenix. (and for you Obama folks who are still working in their parent’s basement, I suspect they have no idea of what that means.)
Now, I personally feel that it is sad but that Tim Russert was the first causalty of the Obama attempted coup. Sometimes the conflict in your heart means it will attack itself and it must be painful for some of these guys to begin to realize what they have wrought.
First, I love your moniker! Second, are you certain that money donated to her site goes to the DNC? I thought it went to her campaign. If you are maxxed out on donations, you would receive an email asking for your permisssion to use the money for her 2012 Senate re-election campaign. The money must be going to her…otherwise , how would she pay off her campaign debt? She can only take donations until the convention.
Hillary gives you the option of signing up with obama, the link to her web site is right below.
Do you think those people have the courage to step up to him?
They let the DNC steal the nomination from Clinton.
Vichy democrats.
Any nominations for the Chicago White House ? Is the old Playboy mansion still available ?
Perhaps they can repurpose the Field Museum, that would be appropriate.
“I hate Obama and his supporters.”
YES! THERE’S the reasoned, logical, un-emotional argument so commonly found on noquarter. All 18 million of his supporters?
If Hillary gets to tout her 18 million, then Obama can do the same. Hating 18 million plus 1 is a lot of hate. All because Obama beat Hillary. It’s a shame. That’s a LOT of enemies to go on the list.
I hope you enjoy your life as a Republican.
“I hope you enjoy your life as a Republican.”
HOpe you enjoy President McCain.
Obama didn’t win, he stole it! 55 of Michicans delegates and 4 from Hillary. He had help stealing it. He is not my nominee. I thought about changing party but then I thought, why? It is my party, not Obama’s… he didn’t win a majority of dems anyway. Remember the republicans for Obama… well this democrat is for mcCain.. nuff said!!
“HOpe you enjoy President McCain.”
Yes. With “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran” and coat hangar abortions and stock market social security and 100+ years in Iraq. I’m sure we will ALL enjoy President McCain.
Where will you dispose of your nose now that you taught your face a lesson?
“coat hangar abortions”? LMFAO! I’ll tell you where my nose won’t be and that’s up BHO’s ass like yours is. How bout that?
If you had an respect for a uterus, I’d actually engage you in this discussion. But since you’re more likely to use the “c” word, I won’t bother myself with you. Scurry along there little bot … you might miss an important line for your next hatefully truthiness post!
Honey, us older women voters are “fixed” unlike the college Obama whores. We don’t need your damn Abortions. We have already been punished with babies. I will send Obama girl a hanger!
Coat hanger abortions? Blogga pleeeeze…
The GOP will not overturn Roe v. Wade because they raise big fat horse-choking wads of campaign money from angry anti-abortionists.
The day RvW is overturned is the day that cash cow runs dry.
You DON’T cook a goose that lays golden eggs.
Bomb bomb Iran, no no too much republican money invested in Iran, now the democratic sleaze gets to make it legal, and go into Africa, too!
So we’re calling Obama supporters Commies this week instead of Nazis? I’ll have to make a note of that in my day planner. It’s important to be up to date on the latest plan of attack. Perhaps on my way home I’ll punch a labor organizer in the face. Goddamn Commies.
We just call you “those fat assed morons.”
The label is perfunctory.
But it’s over your head, anyway.
The Obama takeover of the DNC is very disturbing. This is not the Democratic Party I have supported for most of my lifetime. When others said they found Obama frightening, I disagreed. Now I am finding this move really creepy.
And all this is happening under the radar for most people. I asked two neighbors who are Democrats what they think about Obama moving the DNC to Chicago. Their response was stunning. They asked me what is the DNC.
I picked up a voter registration form a few days ago to change my party affiliation to independent. Leaving the Democratic Party has proved to be more difficult emotionally than I had imagined it would be. One thing for certain, the Democratic Party as we have known it has ceased to exist.
Good for you. The destruction of the democratic party is imminent or maybe already accomplished. Good time for the youger logical caring Americans to establish a new party. The anti American element has corrupted the old democratic party beyond repair.

…. all this is happening under the radar for most people.
This is what Democrats who are DNC breakaways should be aware of. Many otherwise intelligent people do not pick up on these kinds of maneuvers, as obvious as it is to the rest of us. However, I think the voters of Florida, Michigan and possibly some others will be angered by the way they were treated by the DNC and so vote for the GOP if HRC is not the Democratic candidate- *if* Senator McCain can persuade them that he can get a handle of the economy.

Social intercourse with Obama? What a horrendous thought. Obama is determined to “intercourse ” america and I and my wife are determined we will vote for the war hero (whether he is or not) John McCain. Any intercourse ith Obama will be in a vote against the sob.
LMAO Obama is already showing his true colors – he’s turning the Democratic party into his own personal party, like you find in Venezuela or Zimbabwe.
How very 3rd world and Marxist. Castro, Mugabe and Chavez would approve.
No wonder so many Democrats love Obama.
And you folks realize even if he is defeated he’ll have the entire party under his thumb to do his bidding. He’s going to remain *the* powerbroker in the Democratic party for decades or until he’s put in prison.
Forget about reform. Kill the party.
The democratic party is already dead.From this point forward it is socialism which is an offshoot of communism which is the very ideology and methodology put into practice by the Obama campaign. Obama is nothing more but certainly nothing less than a black Muslim who will employ any tactic to attain his goal.
You mean how very Chicago! – Obama learned well from the Daleys. He doesn’t have to look any further. Now if Obama discovers oil in Chicago – all is forgiven!
Yeah, maybe Chavez, too, interesting.
I wonder of he’ll try to nationalize oil in some way, making for an oligarch?
a Tennessee Democratic Party member told a local newspaper that the presumptive nominee of his party “may be terrorist connected****
http://www.elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/13/tennessee-dem-suggests-obama-may-be-terrorist-connected/
“coat hangar abortions”? LMFAO!
“John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench.”
-From John McCain’s website.
Hilarious. Very, very, funny.
Oh well so he will appoint another conservative justice, they are in the majority now aren’t they? Dumber than dumb.
That stick won’t work anymore. It has been held over the heads of women like the sword of Damocles since 1973 and it’s over. It is insulting to pretend you have an actual interset in the rights of women when people like you have shown no respect for Hillary Clinton or her supporters. Take this message back to Obama headquarters and make a copy for Emily’s List, NARAL and members of the DNC from every woman who has seen the light. FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY WE ARE FREE AT LAST.
Obama makes Nixon look like the kindly grandfather that sometimes brings around bawdy friends and drinks too much. Obama is like the Al Capone, killing off the competition and consolidating control. The DNC has just fallen under the Obama umbrella upon which he has installed an interlocking directorship. The move to Chicago should be a wake up call. Much like the Chinese Communist Party, group think is now all the rage. You commonly hear Republicans blasting McCain for his positions while still remaining Republicans. In the Obama Holdings’s subsidiary the DNC, if you disagree with the boss, your fired. No pensions, no golden parachute, just a straight drop into the depths of the shrugged. Hillary fell into that hole as did Lieberman. Obama and his board composed of himself as well as his wife, Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, and various other members yet to be discovered rendered the ultimate decision to terminate their contracts. Some of the Obama Holdings subsidiaries are: NBC and affiliates, the New York Times, and Hollywood. We need a trustbusting Teddy Roosevelt to crush this trust. I only hope McCain is able to do it.
Clinton is much smarter than Obama.
It doesn’t take much to put on a baseball cap, and hold up a bank.
Try to remember who he is, which isn’t much, at all.
Power is ephemeral, after all, what the Lord gives…
Democrats biggest nightmare would be a McCain presidency. First, if they can’t stand up to Bush and his 15% approval rating how will they stand up to President McCain. Secondly, by rallying around McCain it will expose the Dems as totally corrupt, yet again, by being GOP-lite.
On the bright side, Hillary will win the fist fight that will break out between her and Obama on the Senate floor after the Senate is reconviened in January 2009.
The democratic party is totally corrupt. Obama did a good job of destroying the party. the Nations biggest nightmare is an Obama President.
“he’s turning the Democratic party into his own personal party, like you find in Venezuela or Zimbabwe”
Yes. He’s JUST like Mugabe:
“Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s government yesterday twice arrested and later released opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai and charged the Secretary-General of his Movement for Democratic Change, Tendai Biti, with treason. The arrests came before Mugabe and Tsvangirai square off in a runoff presidential election on June 27.”
“…Mugabe began the often-violent seizure of most of Zimbabwe’s mainly white-owned commercial farms.”

What you write is golden. Some freakos are going to be put off by your dropping ‘bolshevik’. But the signs are all there. Everything you write is true. I really wish it weren’t. We all do. Of course we do.
This isn’t words anymore. This is deadly serious. This is a shadow of a danger like Germany in the 1930s. A year ago there were people warning of the Bush administration’s attempts to subvert democracy – where are they now? People in the US with relatives who remembered the Nazi takeover, saying they recognised the same signs again. Where are they now?
This is deadly serious. If history teaches us anything it teaches us most people will not repeat NOT react. Those of us alert enough to see what’s happening would do best to stock up our bomb shelters ASAP.
PS. Really appreciate your etymological description of ‘bolshevik’ which of course is spot on. I never thought of that before! And I know some Russian. Duh!
PPS. Again: the time for talking is over. We need action.
Charlie,
Great style. For those of you who haven’t wandered over: here he’s speaking first of Hillary then Barky. (My emphasis.) Especially when he speaks of Hill (the emphasised) I must say i totally agree. Whatever – enjoy.
Her combination of experience and the fortitude of her character will make her the most uniquely qualified person to sit in the White House since FDR.
As per the very junior Senator from Illinois, I simply find him odious and duplicitous. Is there a better description of the very junior Senator from Illinois than duplicitous? I think not.
So we’re sticking with Nazis? I’m so confused.
We’re sticking with fat assed, slow witted, obtuse troll-cow MORon,robin, overly impressed with his academic credentials, oblivious to his actual lack of talent, skill, intellect or output.
Hence, the whole government thing secondary to level of social importance and peep esteem.
Thanks for being the archetype, though, you’ve been great.
either Nazis or Bolsheviks the rise to power was the same.
In one week, on this site, Obama has been compared to
-Mugabe
-Hugo Chavez
-Karl Marx
-Hitler
-Stalin
-Nixon
-Bush
-OJ Simpson
-Al Capone
Do you think this reads as anything but unhinged?
How about a turd?
Yeah. Barky’s a DAG.
Not anymore unhinged than what was said about Hillary Clinton over at Dailykooks. At any given point Hillary & Bill Clinton and their supporters were racists on the level of the KKK and David Duke willing to destroy the Democratic Party for their own personal power and greed when she bolts from the party and runs for President as an independant, using the political tactics of one or more of the following:
Karl Rove
Machiavelli
Stalin
Mussolini
Hitler
George Bush
LOL
Can I see a show of hands of people who are critical of Obama who’ve been written off as racists by his thugs?
each of these has certain characteristics that are despicable.
obama shares those characteristics.
won’t bother discussing further. time wasted on a troll is time we never get back.
BOLSHEVIKS? Are you SERIOUS?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAA!
Oh, my God, you people get nuttier and nuttier.
Well, if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it must be a Commie Nazi. I swear, these Obama people get dumber by the minute.
So we ate nutty. What is your excuse for kissinf Obama’s ass?
And still you come back and smell the place up with the strong odor of fear and flop sweat …. amazing doesn’t begin to cover it.
The comparison to the Bolsheviks is fair. I did not compare ideology. I did not say Obama was making the Democratic Party communist in its ideology but rather that the apparatus of control and the tactics and practices are similar. He wants top-down control as opposed to the traditional operation of the Democratic party which bottom up and a Big Tent party. Read the introduction and then the Politico story and you will see many of the same concepts and words repeated.
Bolesheviks, Facists, Communists, no matter they are all the same disease and if you know history obama has behaved in the same manner as many of the leaders of these movements, Mussolini, Hitler, etc.
Obamators, you have to read the whole thing and actually think before you respond. And, fuck you, before you say something like “wow,is that all you can do cut and paste”. I know Lemos article is difficult for you to understand, so I took the audacity of cutting and pasting HISTORY for you.
“Bertrand Russell, 3rd Earl Russell (1872–1970) was a 20th century philosopher, mathematician and atheist[1] and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950 for his writings.
Russell visited the Soviet Union and met Lenin in 1920. In a tract, The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism, he wrote “I believe that Communism is necessary to the world, and I believe … Bolshevism deserves the gratitude and admiration of all the progressive part of mankind. But the method by which Moscow aims at establishing Communism is a pioneer method, rough and dangerous, too heroic to count the cost of the opposition it arouses. I do not believe that by this method a stable or desirable form of Communism can be established. Three issues seem to me possible from the present situation:
* The ultimate defeat of Bolshevism by the forces of capitalism
* The victory of the Bolshevists accompanied by a complete loss of their ideals and a régime of Napoleonic imperialism
* A prolonged world-war, in which civilization will go under, and all its manifestations (including Communism) will be forgotten.”
Thanks for that Bertrand bit!
The real democratic or should I say DEMONcRAT party. Full of baby killers, sodomites, welfare leeches, racists and general dummies.
All African American with jobs and pride, please hear me. When Obama loses, come home to the republican party. This is the real democratic party. We republicans depise them. Evidence is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992769/posts
Blacks, this is the real democratic party. The party of “black codes” Johnson, George Wallace and the Southern manifesto.
Republicans freed the slaves and gave you your rights. The first black senators were republican. Most of the signers of the civil rights bill were republicans. Ronald Reagan appointed Colin Powell to be National security advisor. George Bush appointed a black and a black woman to be secretary of state. Dems have been killing your babies, ruining your families and putting you on the back of the bus for advancement for hundreds of years. Educate yourselves…because what you see here is the real democratic party. Never ever vote democrat again.
Taylor Marsh kicked people off her site after Sen. Kennedy’s illness was announce. I was not one of them, but I laughed my ass off at the comments. Tim Russett, Dead at the age of 58. Maybe HRC is a witch, SD better go get their checkups before Denver.
Taylor marsh did not kick me off . I left because I wanted too. reason being , she wanted people to snitch on each other : I said and still do: I do not want to be at Taylor Marsh’ or any other place where people have to act as the Brown Shirts and call in the gestapo every time someone opposes Obama– in that case Ted Kennedy.
“Everything you write is true.”
Except when Larry Johnson wrote:
“Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.
“None of these beliefs are based in fact.”
or
when he tells you that Karl Rove’s indictment is imminent or he heard a friend of a friend who knows a guy who talked to a guy who saw the “Whitey” tape.
Other than that, every OTHER think Larry Johnson writes is true.
Come Democrat aglio-fiutato, mi domando se Obama’ il funzionamento del Chicago della Mega-Chiesa di s ci insegnerà come pentirsi ed be è guarito?
0-bum-ah?
ObaMugabe
Sorry if this is off topic.
I can’t believe there is any question that HRC received negative, sexist coverage by the media …
http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/13/america/13women.php?page=1
They see “little need to reconsider” their coverage or change their “approach” going forward. Maybe when their “beloved” is soundly defeated in November, they’ll “reconsider.”
the media, obama, obamabites, and the DNC will never admit what they did, they are trying to pass it off on the publics perception, “oh we got those people mad at us and those over there, we must be fair.” Though I am saddened by Russerts death he was one of the worst offenders he was corrupted somewhere along the the line.
Obamorenthal
Just say no when they hand out the helments.
it’s 115* in Iraq today.
Did The Plastic jesus fix his website’s page showing the fake birth certificate, or can you still see the jpeg remnants of the cut and paste job?
We can see it but somehow they don’t. Mystery.
Why DNC move to Chicago…
…Some insight about Obama & the entities supporting him. He is the product of “Red” Chicago. Chicago,the Mid-West is one of bedrocks of the communist movement in the USA. Started in the 1920’s
Here is a book on the history of it:
Red Chicago : American communism at its grassroots, 1928-35
http://books.google.com/books?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=ca-print-uofillinois_press&vid=isbn0252032063
About the book from link:
Realities of the street-level American Communist experience during the worst years of the Depression Red Chicago is a social history of American Communism set within the context of Chicago’s neighborhoods, industries, and radical traditions. Using local party records, oral histories, union records, party newspapers, and government documents, Randi Storch fills the gap between Leninist principles and the day-to-day activities of Chicago’s rank-and-file Communists. Uncovering rich new evidence from Moscow’s former party archive, Storch argues that although the American Communist Party was an international organization strongly influenced by the Soviet Union, at the city level it was a more vibrant and flexible organization responsible to local needs and concerns. Thus, while working for a better welfare system, fairer unions, and racial equality, Chicago’s Communists created a movement that at times departed from international party leaders’ intentions. By focusing on the experience of Chicago’s Communists, who included a large working-class, African American, and ethnic population, this study reexamines party members’ actions as an integral part of the communities in which they lived and the industries where they worked. A volume in the series The Working Class in American History, edited by David Brody, Alice Kessler-Harris, David Montgomery, and Sean Wilentz

Are we brain dead? Is this just a whining post. Would Bolsheviks suggest some sort of democratic basis of this? There is none. It’s an elite minority of an elite minority for both sides. It’s a power grab, and we are given fake choice options to distract from looking outside the box.
At least check out Nader if you believe in Democracy. Don’t play the game.
Of course, if Nader’s too real, and we just want to feel good like we fought fascism by trying to work with it…
All I gotta know is. the same folks who brought us Bush II and the war, want Bambie REALLY, REALLY bad. Something is terribly wrong
Good call. Good observation.
Where has Hillary been? Where is she now? Time to save the party, reclaim the Super Delegates.
“All I gotta know is. the same folks who brought us Bush II and the war, want Bambie REALLY, REALLY bad.”
What people? Name them.
Markos Moulitsas? Ted Kennedy?
Last I checked the one who “brought us…the was” was named Hillary Clinton.
Yes, because Hillary Clinton and she alone caused the war in Iraq. No other Democrat voted for the resolution. Oh wait, John Kerry did. So did his running mate John Edwards.
Both were forgiven. Liberal/progressive blogs spent months during his campaign explaining how he didn’t vote for the war and how Kerry’s view was that Bush was required to go back to the UN first. That the deal was that the UN inspectors complete the job. Kerry explained that the vote was not an unconditional vote for war. The liberal/progressive blogs believed him. But Hillary is lying now and she, not Bush, is responsible. John Kerry said they were misled. He was believed. Hillary said the same and she’s lying.
Apparently Hillary was President at the time, advocated for the war, browbeat the Congress and Senate into voting for the resolution.
Man she’s good. Maybe she should be President considering all that she managed to do as not President.
Unfortunatly, Hillary’s under control right now. Why else would she grudgenly support BO? The new party’s shown it’s face. If they bring her back, it’ll be just cause the BO gigs up.
Nader and Ron Paul are the only two I trust at this point.
You can trust Hill. Nobody’s ever taken as much shit as she has.
http://www.obama-wire.com/
There were rumors before she made her “suspension” speech that she had spent days speaking to SD’s who were not supportive, some people told her the fix was in and she needed to get out. They wanted ob for his database and they didn’t care if they lost the Presidential election as long as they had his contracts and contribution money flow.
They could afford to lose the presidency to McCain as long as they put up a good fight for it and earned brownie points with voters.
They could use the database to win mayoral, senatorial and congressional races for dems.
or so they thought… a funny thing though, the database is a big lie. It is filled with dead people and pets and not legal voters and also the money is from all sorts of dirty sources such as pre-paid credit cards. And the dems will be found out. They acted against democracy and will be exposed for it full force by the republicans and honest members of their own party… and of course they infuriated and disenfranchised people all along the way
“They wanted ob for his database and they didn’t care if they lost the Presidential election as long as they had his contracts and contribution money flow.”
In the meantime, I have recently unsubscribed from every candidate mailing list that I got onto from contributing through Act Blue in 2004. I’m sure there must be others who did so too.
Newsweek did an article on this on May 19th and obama basically bribed the SDs with his donor list and email lists, of course it went unreported but that article. I have been considering not supporting down ticket dems after their culpability in all this in keeping silent and allowing the RBC to steal the election. I just hope there are Independends on my ballot this Novemeber.
When you have an entire political system, from the Governor on down, under federal investigation, how is moving the headquarters of your party there cleaning up anything? Remember, the current Governor is a Democrat. The current Mayor is a Democrat. This represents change and improvement?
Oy.
The only way to get Senator Clinton some control is to help pay off her debt. Her web site does not redirect funds to the DNC or Obama. If she can clear the debt before the convention, she can play a wedge in all of these shenanigans.
We can gripe, wail and complain, but the only one with any power in this is Hillary Clinton. Thus we need to empower her with helping her clear down the debt.
Hill has no Soros. She has no Pritzkers. She has no offshore PACs. Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be honest.
“There were rumors before she made her “suspension” speech that she had spent days speaking to SD’s who were not supportive, some people told her the fix was in…”
Rumors equal fact on noquarter.
There are rumors of a “Whitey” tape, too. You know the thirty minute tirade from the pulpit at Trinity United with Louis Farrakhan sitting next to her. Oh, wait, the PUSH conference wasn’t at the Sheraton, Louis Farrakhan wasn’t there and the whole event lasted two hours and she was just a “guest speaker” so a half hour tirade is pretty much unfathomable.
Ahhh…the truthiness.
Fact: Democratic Governor. Fact: Democratic Mayor. Fact: Federal investigations of corruption. Who’s heading this? Fitz the patron saint of the liberals and progressives until recently.
Rezko who did a real estate deal with Obama was just convicted. Obama himself doesn’t deny the terms of the deal. He doesn’t explain if the money involved was the clean or dirty money. Nor does he seem to care. He just calls it “boneheaded”.
Now, who would want to move their Party headquarters to a city were many prominent Democrats are under Federal investigation for corruption? To a city where some of these people have been convicted?
Obama has said he will not pardon Rezko if elected President. I expect him to keep his word.
The Democrat/Republican this is a farce in a way. Who funded the war? It wasn’t just Republicans. It’s two dictator gangs playing good cop bad cop and taking turns.
On behalf of all my fellow yellowdog democrats from the great State of Tennessee who have supported the “old” democratic party:
Thank you Fred Hobbs of the Democratic Executive Committee of Tennessee and Congressman Lincoln Davis (my congressman who I am mad at for not coming out for Hillary but also not endorsing Obama/Marxist) for finally “getting it”.
We supported Harold Ford with all our legwork and funds but we will not support this Obama/Marxist. So for all of the Obama/Marxist idiots out there that say us “hillbilly rednecks” will not vote for a black man. Yes, we will just not Your Black Man. Hillary would have taken Tennessee but now it will remain red.
This article I hope is sign of what will come in the future for more and more superdelegates:

Is that what this is, to give Marxism a bad name and make the “old” dem party look good? Sure, Obama’s an all time bad, but to go back to the “old” Dem party that pushed everyone aside to put him in is just sticking your head in the sand.
J -
Who ever said I was going back to the “old” democratic party? Until the “old” democratic party is in fact the “old” democratic party of my parents and their parents I will consider myself a part of no party.
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST
MCCAIN 2008 OR UNTIL HILLARY RISES
Since when is an elite minority of political criminals “Marxist”? That’s a sham.
You don’t think Hillary is the “old” Dem party? She just wasn’t their prize petunia. I love Hillary, but to act like she is not a part of a ruthless, elite power structure is kinda crazy. I’d rather have her brand than BO’s or McCain’s, sure, but the lack of public oversight over our government has led to more than this mess. We should give Nader a shot, like a nice rain to cleanse some of the corruption out. Spring cleaning?
J -
I can tell you do not come here much as if you had you would know that I have posted many many times about Black Liberation Marxist Theology. I am not indicating the party is Marxist. I am proving that Obama/Marxist has embraced a marxist theology for over 20 years.
Get your shit straight. Don’t come here acting like you know what we are all talking about. Read the archives before you speak.
Ass.

Dude. I’m no Obama fan. Are you foaming so much you can’t think? I’m saying using the word Marxism is not correct. You give it too much credit. Just because they call it Marxist means nothing if it’s just a way to get power, or convince young minds into joining a sham. That just romanticizes it, giving it a credibility it lacks.
J
I am and have always been demanding that Obama/Marxist address his 20 years not just sitting in “a church” but his church. He has addressed the Rev. Wright issue but never the issue of his embrace of Black Liberation Marxist Theology.
And no I am not “foaming at the mouth”. I have and will continue to post here quite calm.
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA/MARXIST
HILLARY OR UNTIL HILLARY RISES
This is a very accurate insight and not
out of line in the least. Of course what
one observed with the Bolsheviks was a
revolution that was funded by British
operatives as is the Obama campaign and typified by
those networks such as the Weather Underground
dedicated to the destruction of America and
its political tradition and mission.
McCain will be president… Obama and his gang of thugs might think they can steal enough votes to win sure…
but so many Clinton Democrats are going to vote for McCain that Obama will simply not be able to steal enough votes…
but hey, i could be wrong, Obama could be a bigger criminal than we all think….
Russia is what happens when mediocre stupid people without talent or ideas get together, and try to run a country?
And they called it the D and the RNC?
I see.
I think this is an interesting essay that points out some of the machinations of the DNC leadership and the Obama campaign. The use of the word “bolshevik”, though, distracts the reader from your main ideas because this word has many strong and unrelated associations in the history of American politics.
Agree. It actually makes it sound like a movement for and of the people, instead of against and apart from the public majority.
Thank you for this article and for linking Barbara Jordan’s speech. I love your article, but your trolls are second rate.
I was thinking about Obama’s tactics of dividing the party. First he divided us by age, next he divided us by gender, and then he divided us by race. He has made his followers comfortable with making us the hated other, not worthy of respect. They don’t cling to old ideas, such as protecting the minority voice. I don’t imagine they’ll be stopping to reflect any time soon. These have truly become frightening times.
Given the Obama Campaign’s history for playing the rules to win, I hope McCain will have people reviewing each state’s election rules carefully. Make sure there are no loopholes or tactics that would put him at a disadvantage.
Is McCain less corrupt or ruthless? It kind of seems like he’s just shadow boxing BO, which makes me wonder what’s up. How can he even let BO talk about lobbyists or cleaning up anything with a straight face?
Not to mention checking every registeration and ss#. it will help to start doing early on. dem should help there. I am worried about the machines too.
PUMA POWER!!
Contact your US & state lawmakers,D, and DEMAND that democracy be restored in the Democratic Party. DNC is NOT BARACK OBAMA’S personal party! It belongs to the people, who are opposed to the relocation of anything DNC to Chicago,a known state for political corruption.
GO PUMA!
ON point and timely Charles, can’t say that it won’t backfire big time when politics is run this way.
There’s your democrats names attached to the racist Southern Manifesto. The real democrat party.
“The original Constitution does not mention education. Neither does the 14th Amendment nor any other amendment. The debates preceding the submission of the 14th Amendment clearly show that there was no intent that it should affect the system of education maintained by the States.”

When you look at bo and hear him talk do u get the impression that he is capable of reeking all that havac that is going on now. I don’t. I think someone went looking for a pretty boy knowing that will work speciall after the success of reallity tv and found him. So why where are serpants heads. The demo party must have been a really pathetic party to be taken over so easily. that if loosing wasn’t a give away this one does.
What…on earth is going on. Isn’t Washington where we do politics in America? President Bush should have something to say about this to America pretty soon.
This is disturbing news.
We’re waisting time. Not that it seems to matter, but they’re playing a game. Can you think of any other reason McCain is going after the cannon fodder, instead of calling BO on his BS and getting it over with?
It’s so we will not have time to unite against a real third party.
No wonder we’ve never done it before, except when the Repulican party started. Sure, it got corrupted, but it was the first third party against slavery. Boy, those must have been the days, when Americans united in desire for real change, instead of cowering in fear and bickering over which horrible preset option was worse.
This is yet another example of the mind-meld between Barack Obama and George W. Bush…the unitary executive. Team Obama is following, to a tee, the takedown of the Republican party that Bush and his compadres accomplished in ‘99/’00. Suck up all the money, administer loyalty oaths, destroy the opposition, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Well, I guess as long as America is whipped into fear to vote for the least between two horrible options, it seems to control some people into thinking there is no other option. Don’t vote for what you really want, because that would be a waste of your vote? How can third parties spoil a spoiled system?
I heard about you guys at Free Republic. There is so much praise for Hillary supporters and what you are doing here. My friends at Free Republic have posted their thanks to Hillary supporters. Keep up the good work. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992769/posts
VOTE MCCAIN AND CORNYN!!! WHOO HOO!
That’s such a transparant attempt to get us to unite with BO it’s funny. Too many things are not funny these days. Why do you think those are the two options we are being squeezed against? Could they be rigged somehow? Vote for the thug that’ll take us to war with a creased brow and a thoughtful look on his face as he chants peace, or vote for the one that will take you to war with a goulish smile? Ooooh, big choice.
Anything but deep discussion of what’s happening and our options. Oh no, people talking!
All African Americans visiting this site, take notice that you are reading remarks posted by members of the democratic party. Please help bring attention to this truth. There is a place for you in the Republican party. John McCain is polling 24% of the black vote in Michigan. Educate yourselves. As you read posts at this site, you will realize why your ancestors were a solid republican voting block. Republicans support their black candidates. You are welcome in our party.
African Americans, look at the comments on this site. Bring your votes and your donations to the republican party. Many of you will wait until the real dems defeat Obama. Remember them. Republicans support their Black candidates. Your ancestors were well treated by the republican party. You are also welcome as many of you are people of faith. People of faith have no place in the DEMONcRAT party.
The real democratic or should I say DEMONcRAT party. Full of baby killers, sodomites, welfare leeches, racists and general dummies.
All African American with jobs and pride, please hear me. When Obama loses, come home to the republican party. This is the real democratic party. We republicans depise them. Evidence is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992769/posts
Blacks, this is the real democratic party. The party of “black codes” Johnson, George Wallace and the Southern manifesto.
Republicans freed the slaves and gave you your rights. The first black senators were republican. Most of the signers of the civil rights bill were republicans. Ronald Reagan appointed Colin Powell to be National security advisor. George Bush appointed a black and a black woman to be secretary of state. Dems have been killing your babies, ruining your families and putting you on the back of the bus for advancement for hundreds of years. Educate yourselves…because what you see here is the real democratic party. Never ever vote democrat again. They will betray you every time.
I have come here to expose them. Look up the history of the democrat party in wikipedia.
Andrew Johnson president–DEMOCRAT
Johnson-appointed governments all passed Black Codes that gave the Freedmen second class status. In response to the Black Codes and worrisome signs of Southern recalcitrance, the Radical Republicans blocked the re-admission of the ex-rebellious states to the Congress in fall 1865. Congress also renewed the Freedman’s Bureau, but Johnson vetoed it. Senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois, leader of the moderate Republicans, took affront at the Black Codes. Trumbull proposed the first Civil Rights bill.
Although strongly urged by moderates in Congress to sign the Civil Rights bill, Johnson broke decisively with them by vetoing it on March 27.
Maybe both parties need to get Bolshevik’d for real. I am amazed we’re just realizin the two party system can leave us with no “real” choice.
It’s irony that the “Democrats” have been more against third options, and the “Republicans” have pushed harder to expand government survelance of Americans. Now the lines are really blurry though.
This is my vision. Obama will be for more “pretexts for war”. He will squash the notion of economic exploitation, while furthering it globally. He will create his own SS, basically taking Chicago corruption nationwide. His rulership may or not be bad for most Americans, who just shut up and support what they’re supposed to in the end. McCain won’t be as eloquent, but Congress and Senate will be just as impotent as they were with Bush. Either way, once either gets in, resistance does not matter. If we resist either once they’re in office, something may happen to “convince” us to unite with them.
On the slimmest of chances, we may realize we’re screwed, and vote Nader. There’s a reason he’s called a “conscience” vote. Sure, they’re a motley crew, but they mean the change Obama falsely advertises, and they’re for truly protecting America instead of going to wars that make us less secure. We already spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined.
Lourain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge speaks in his office in Lorain, Ohio as posters of Che Guevara and Barack Obama hang on his wall.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-06-10-ohio-lethal-injection_N.htm
Guess that Obama supporter Judge James Burge is a member of Marxist fraction of Democratic Party
Is this one of those psychological word games, where if we refer to this DNC power play as a Marxist “movement” enough, it will be either be romanticized, or Marxism will be discredited as what Obama is doing? Obama is no more Marxist than McCain is.
If he had actually stuck to his guns on Wright’s philosophies, you could have said that, but he’s just another elite, political power player who throws anybody away once they get inconvenient.
Is this like where we changed the meaning of “terrorism” from using threats or force for political purposes, to only if the weapons are primitive?
The DNC faction behind this is doing it for social equality? That’s a nice cover, but it’s too paper thin. That would assume Obama does not deal with lobbyists and he’s really trying to “clean up” things. C’mon, say that with a straight face.
Obama is what he is a little monkey owned by other’s inside the one world ideals, he is our enemy what more do you need to know?
If people do not start to see the facts of what this little third world monkey is people will become third world monkey’s.
Stop with the PC Lie start to act like Americans and pick-up a gun for life, mark your targets and make the ideals of 1776 become real and within one year we may see freedom back as law or 100,000 million dead inside the former usa.
side-note, DARPA is now building A NEW IDEA ON HOW TO KILL AMERICANS OFF, Called Chemboth part of a control program for people who get-out-line.
Looks like the RNC And DNC Must really hate what is on Lonewacko it has been politically Suspended
