[edit]Background
Larry Johnson moved to Washington, D.C. in 1979 to begin work on a Ph.D. at the American University. Although he completed successfully all coursework and comprehensive exams, he did not write a dissertation. In 1978 and in 1983-85 he worked in Latin America on community development projects as a community organizer. Returning to the United States in 1985 he joined the Central Intelligence Agency, thanks in part to a letter of recommendation from Republican Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) that helped to "open doors" for him at the Agency.[3] Johnson entered on duty at the CIA in September 1985 and was a classmate of Valerie Plame. Every member of that class was undercover. After a year in the Career Trainee program, which included a stint with the Afghan Task Force, Johnson was assigned as an analyst in the Middle America Caribbean Division in the Latin American Affairs Office of the Directorate of Intelligence. He received two Exceptional Performance awards and was promoted ultimately to Senior Regional Analyst for Central America.
Johnson remained undercover in the CIA until October 1989, when he resigned from the CIA and started a new job in the Office of Counter Terrorism at the Department of State. Johnson played an instrumental role in launching the Terrorism Rewards program international advertising campaign (working with Diplomatic Security officers Brad Smith and Michael Parks). [4] Johnson also was involved in a variety of crisis management response operations, including the release of hostages from Lebanon and liaison with the Pan Am 103 families. He left government service in October 1993 and started his own business as a consultant.
After leaving government service, Johnson became a frequent guest on many major television news shows when a question of terrorism came up. He was first interviewed by CNN following the capture of Carlos the Jackal. Johnson subsequently appeared on CNN, ABC's Nightline, CBS, the BBC, MSNBC, the Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC, and NPR. In December of 1999, for example, Johnson was hired by NBC to serve as its terrorist expert for the Y2000 and was in Time Square with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric ("a lot of fun and the best way to see in the New Year"). Johnson also was hired in January 2002 as a Fox News Analyst and remained under contract until February 2003.
Since 1994 a significant focus of Johnson's consulting work has been with the U.S. military special operations forces in scripting and conducting military counter terrorism exercises. He traveled under orders from the U.S. military to Iraq in May 2006 to work on a short term project.
A registered Republican who supported President Bush in 2000, Johnson became a strong critic of the Bush administration in May 2003 for its conduct of the war in Iraq and, a few months later, for its role in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame.[5] He was also featured in the 2004 political documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism. Since Robert Novak's controversial disclosure of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative in July 2003, Johnson has contributed to public discourse on intelligence matters, often sparking further controversy. He has been interviewed by both the mass media and the alternative media and published commentaries on a variety of issues, including the Plame affair, the controversy concerning Mary McCarthy, and the resignation of Porter Goss as Director of Central Intelligence.

[edit]1996
In 1996, Johnson noted that terrorism worldwide was on the decline. "Terrorist incidents [both internationally and in the US] have fallen to levels not seen since the 1970s. Whether measured by the number of incidents, the number of fatalities, or the number of groups, raw statistics demonstrate that the level of terrorist violence has declined since the mid-1980s. In fact, the evidence suggests terrorism was more widespread and deadly 10 years ago."[6]
He also wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times suggesting that the newer and more deadly terrorist threat to the U.S. was embodied by "networks of terrorists, mostly foreign, working within its borders." Exemplifying this threat was Ramzi Yousef, one of the masterminds behind the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center. In the article, Johnson suggests that enhanced cooperation between intelligence agencies, particularly the FBI and CIA, is mandatory to meet the growing threat of terror networks.[7]
[edit]1998
In 1998, Johnson argued that while overall terrorism was declining, the threat from bin Laden and al-Qaeda should be the focus of American counterterrorism policy:
The nature of the threat posed by Bin Ladin is highlighted by my final chart, number 7. Osama Bin Ladin and individuals associated with him have killed and wounded more Americans than any other group. This chart also illustrates that groups such as Hamas and the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) prior to 1998 have killed more foreigners in the anti-US terrorist attacks. If we take into account the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama's status as the most lethal terrorist is certain.[8]
In addition, he told USA Today that bin Laden had participated in "virtually every major attack of terrorism against the United States" in the 1990s. Johnson underlined the threat posed by bin Laden, saying that he was possessed by "hatred and craziness." If left unanswered, "he would continue to terrorize Americans around the world. He has no compunction about killing women and children. He's a complete egalitarian in his murderous attitude."[9]
[edit]1999
In an interview with PBS's Frontline for its 1999 program, Hunting bin Laden, Johnson discussed Osama bin Laden.[10] According to Johnson, Americans had "tended to make Osama bin Laden sort of a superman in Muslim garb." "Actually," he continues, "Osama bin Laden, in my view, represents more of a symptom of a problem, and the problem is this: the Saudi Arabian government, not just Osama bin Laden but many people in Saudi Arabia, have been sending money to radical Islamic groups for years." Johnson continued:
When you look at who's killed Americans in the last 10 years, the individuals he's supported and backed--I'm basing that upon the initial information that's been released in the indictments and conversations with others in the intelligence communities--Osama bin Laden has been the one killing Americans. No other terrorist group in the world has been out killing Americans except for Osama bin Laden.... Osama bin Laden remains out there as the one really targeting us. So, we recognize that he's the threat. He's serious about wanting to kill Americans, but as long as he's in Afghanistan, as long as he doesn't have access to a cell phone, as long as he can't just hop on a plane and travel wherever he wants without fear of being arrested, his ability to plan and conduct terrorist operations is extremely limited. We have to recognize [that] he would like to do a lot of damage. He would like to kill Americans, but wanting to is different from being able to, having the full capabilities in place.[11]
In the interview, Johnson doubted the ability of members of bin Laden's organization to plan and put their lives on the line:
There's not another Ali or Mustafa out there at this point and Osama bin Laden in my view has not been a very effective organizer or leader. He talks a great game and puts out terrific threats as far as stirring the passions in the United States and maybe firing up the imaginations of some young Muslims throughout the world. But when push comes to shove, can he get a group of people who are together who will say: we are going to plan an operation, we're going to put our lives on the line, we're going to go out and try and kill people and we don't care what the consequence is? It hasn't happened.[12]
Frontline asked:
[Is it] ... fair to say what you're saying is that the president of the United States, his national security advisor, his deputy national security advisor for counter-terrorism, are basically blowing smoke [about the danger posed by bin Laden] and his followers]?
Johnson responded:
They're grossly exaggerating the problem. They are hyping it. They shouldn't be talking about rising terrorism. Instead of saying "terrorism's rising," it's not. "Terrorism is spreading," it's not. "More people are dying from terrorism," not the case. But what they should be saying is, "There's one individual out there that really doesn't like us, and he's made it his mission in life to kill Americans, and we've gotta deal with him." But we need to have a voice of reason in that process instead of putting ourselves out crying wolf, because this is essentially what's taking place right now. They call it the administration that cries wolf.[12]
[edit]2000
Johnson co-authored an article in 2000 with Milt Bearden which focused on the threat posed by al-Qaeda specifically, rather than terrorism trends in general. Beardon and Johnson note that new information emerging about the bombings at Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 points to the threat posed by Imad Mugniyah and Osama Bin Laden will require "a coordinated policy that will employ a full range of covert, clandestine, diplomatic, and military operations," concluding:
The Clinton Administration has shot its bolt on the terrorist problem with small effect, and no last minute show of force will change the record. A new administration can start afresh with a more sharply defined set of terrorism goals – Mughniyeh and bin Laden and their protectors for starters – and bring the full, coordinated force of American diplomatic, military, and intelligence capabilities to bear on the problem.[13]
[edit]2001
After Johnson's testimony to the special forum at the U.S. Senate, Gary J. Schmitt, executive director and CEO of the Project for the New American Century, refers in the Daily Standard (blog) to an op-ed piece Johnson wrote two months prior to the 9/11 attacks, claiming that Johnson argued that the US had little to fear from terrorism.[14]
In an editorial entitled "The Declining Terrorist Threat," published in the New York Times on 10 July 2001, Johnson says:
Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, 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.... While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.[15]
Ten days after the 9/11 attacks, after quoting the above passage, Timothy Noah concludes a post in his "Chatterbox" feature at Slate: "Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong."[16] Johnson defended himself against such attacks:
The rightwing is resurrecting an op-ed I wrote in July 2001. I stand by the full article. It is still relevant today. I am accused, incorrectly, of ignoring the threat of terrorism. In fact, I correctly noted that the real threat emanated from Bin Laden and Islamic extremism. President Bush, for his part, ignored the CIA warning in August 2001 that Al Qaeda was posed to strike inside the United States.[17]
After September 11, Johnson appeared several times on FOX News to address the question of military action against terrorism. On 14 November, he defended the FBI's proposal to interview 5,000 students in the U.S. suspected of having information relevant to the September 11 investigations:
I think they should talk to everyone that they feel they have a need to talk to. I mean, look, this is war. This is not a legal proceeding. This isn't the O.J. Simpson trial. The folks that attacked us -- they murdered Americans. And we've got to recognize that in wartime, we should do things differently.[18]
[edit]2003
In January 2003, Johnson wrote an analysis of the relationship between the upcoming U.S. invasion of Iraq and the threat of transnational terrorism. According to Johnson, Bremer's response was to tell him that "it didn't matter what Saddam did or didn't do, we were going to war."[19] The paper warned that an invasion would "do little to destroy the infrastructure of radical Islamic terrorism responsible for the 9-11 attacks." Noting that Saddam Hussein's regime has been a longtime supporter of regional terrorist organizations such as the PLO, Johnson examines contacts between Saddam Hussein and transnational terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda:
There is no doubt that Iraq is a state sponsor of terrorism—i.e., a country that provides financial support, safe haven, training, or weapons and explosives to groups or individuals that carry out terrorist attacks. . . . According to Central Intelligence Agency data, there is no credible evidence implicating Iraq in any mass casualty terrorist attacks since 1991. . . .
Johnson notes that the period immediately leading up to 2003 saw a rise of activity surrounding terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, suggesting that "Iraq is willing to help a movement that it would otherwise oppose on ideological grounds. Nonetheless," Johnson concludes, "it is important to understand that Iraqi entreaties to Al Qaeda, are most likely intended as a tactic to bolster Iraq’s ability to fight off a U.S. invasion rather than a deep-seated theological and ideological commitment to the terrorist agenda of Bin Laden.[20]
In that analysis Johnson also warns that the U.S.-led invasion was likely to backfire:
In fact there is a serious risk that a U.S. led war against Iraq may crystallize the diffused anger in the Arab and Muslim world — a heretofore unattained goal of bin Laden and his followers — and persuade more Muslim youths to take up the terrorist banner against America and her citizens.... If we decide to invade Iraq we must be prepared for the contingency that our attack will inspire young Muslims to pursue jihad against the West in general and the United States in particular. Just as the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan rallied many Muslims, especially young adults to the cause of jihad, a U.S. attack may enable Islamic extremists to attract new followers.[20]
Johnson also gave interviews on the topic of what to do with captured al-Qaeda leaders; while he did not condone torture, he suggested that a "sleep deprivation and reward system" might be useful for getting information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed:
I don't see a constitutional right to have eight hours of sleep. You shouldn't subject someone to freezing but they don't get to wear mink coats, either.[21]
In May 2003, Johnson joined members of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) in condemning the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes:
It is a misuse and abuse of intelligence. The president was being misled. He was ill served by the folks who are supposed to protect him on this. Whether this was witting or unwitting, I don't know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.[22]
[edit]Plame affair
After Robert Novak wrote a column identifying the wife of former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson as a CIA officer, the media invited Johnson to comment on the ensuing scandal because he had been a member of the same Career Trainee class with Valerie Plame Wilson. For example, in October 2003, he appeared on Democracy Now to discuss the Plame affair. He told interviewer Amy Goodman that Valerie Wilson's cover should have been respected whether she was an "analyst" or a "cleaning lady": "if she's undercover she's undercover, period. If the media allows themselves to get distracted with those kinds of curve balls, they ignore the issue."[23]
He told a Senate Democratic Policy Committee in October 2003, "My classmates and I have been betrayed. Together, we have kept the secrets of each other's identities a secret for 18 years. Each and every one of us have kept that secret, whether we were in the CIA, in other government service or in the private sector. But this issue is not just about a blown cover. It is about the destruction of the very essence, the core of human intelligence collection activities: plausible deniability, apparently, for partisan domestic political reasons."[24]
Johnson testified at a special joint hearing of Congressional and Senate Democrats on 22 July 2005 about the consequences arising from the Plame affair.[25]
[edit]2008
In 2008, Johnson emerged as a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and a strong critic of Barack Obama. Larry Johnson's blog, NoQuarterUSA, became a rally point for Clinton supporters wary of Barack Obama's qualifications to be president. Supporters of Barack Obama insist that a story that first appeared on Johnson's blog--a report that Republican operatives have a tape of Michelle Obama making racially insenstive comments about caucasians--has been "refuted" Barack Obama's Fight the Smears website.[26]. However, Johnson never claimed to have the tape and reported that the Republican operatives controlling it intended to release the tape sometime after the Democratic Convention in August 2008. On October 21, however, he asserted that the operative in possession of the tape had been instructed by the McCain campaign not to release it.[27]

It is, to be sure, a little bit cheap (and slightly at odds with the usual parameters of this feature) to criticize someone for making an erroneous prediction, particularly after a tragedy. Chatterbox is especially reluctant to tag Johnson because Johnson's op-ed was argued forcefully, backed up meticulously with factual data, and bravely at odds with conventional wisdom at the time of its publication. Add in that Johnson now makes his living as a consultant to corporations about terrorism, and therefore had everything to gain by exaggerating the dangers terrorism poses, and the guy practically looks like a hero. Chatterbox, who two decades ago was an editor for the New York Times op-ed page, would have published Johnson's piece had he still been an editor there this past July. In his capacity at Slate, Chatterbox might well have written up Johnson's prediction, and perhaps even endorsed it.
But boy, is he glad he didn't! Johnson's analysis, we now see, was bold, persuasive, and 100 percent wrong. Sadly, a mistake this embarrassing cannot be ignored. As a fellow skeptic, Chatterbox in all sincerity wishes Johnson better luck next time.

Our own intrepid Matthew is going to break a huge story within an hour (at least that is the plan as I type). He has discovered documents that clearly demonstrate Barack Obama received the endorsement of a socialist group that required candidates to seeking their endorsement to sign a contract that mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with that socialist party.
This VIDEO below explains why Barack’s campaign cannot give a straight answer about when he decided that Bill Ayers had been a terrorist:
As you will see when Matthew’s piece goes up, Barack signed onto a socialist agenda back in 1996. When, if ever, did he decide it was wrong? Why has he hidden this part of his life? Is America ready to trust a guy who lies about his past socialist ties to help pull America out of the economic ditch it is in.
Stay tuned.

Too funny. LMAO
Hey Ferd. Your predictions about the debate?
McCain does well at these. He has got to find a way to throw Oblockhead off-kilter and then cause a mini-meltdown. What do you tnink?
He needs to take the gloves off and knock Oblockhead off his feet. I’ve had it with this pussyfooting around this inept asshole wannabe tyrant Oblockhead.
Agreed
I hope McCain hits the floor running and swinging and doesn’t stop!
And Oblockhead’s down in the first round!
inept asshole wannabe tyrant Oblockhead.
My sentiments EXACTLY!
Hope so!!!! I fear the audience has been filled with Obots though. The questions were pre-screened by Brokaw, so nothing of substance about Obama’s past is likely to get through.
Brokaw is a better journalist than that. He learned from John Chancellor, who was as good as they come. I will keep an eye on him, though.
Great observation Ferd. My sister worked for NBC Nightly News for 16 years back in the 70s and 80s and she said recently that John Chancellor must be rolling over in his grave because of MSNBC. Btw, she loved Chancellor.
I watched him every night for years. He was a decent and honorable man.
I had that concern, too. How do they keep the audience balanced?
It is in Tennessee. I imagine it will be balanced.
FMcB,
The problem with the debate format is that on issues of complexity it’s very difficult to call bs when it occurs or demonstrate what is wrong with the opponents response. In effect, both candidates are judged by what appears to be a good response.
For example, McCain slew Obama over O’s plan for dealing with Pakistan, but most people do not know this because they lack the expertise to judge the merit of both candidates responses. McCain’s comments that “Obama did not understand” were true, but less than effective because the format prevented McCain from demonstrating that Obama’s position was wrongheaded. The comments were less than effective because saying Obama did not understand looks like a slight to someone who cannot tell the difference between the candidates positions. Obama did not critique McCain because he knew too little to do so.
In short, Obama won the issue by looking like he knew something about the issue and because he lacked the knowledge to critique McCain on the issue.
McCain has a tough row to hoe. Will the debate format give him a needle to prick underneath the narcissist’s thin-skin?
SM
He does have a tough row, but mainly because of the political illiteracy of a great deal of the electorate. I certainly hope this format (which suits him well) will give him the opening he needs to inflict some damage. I suppose we’ll see, Steven.
Good one, Will, LOL
First laugh I’ve had all day!!
That’s wonderful. Can’t wait to get started.
Thanks. I needed a laugh.
Even a doctor doesn’t have to have as much evidence to diagnose a patient as their is evidence against Obama proving he is a socialist. And if not socialist altogether then Islamic/socialist, whatever it takes to win him the White House. If Obama is not socialist then he is the best damned imposter in the business. HANG EM HIGH!
Obama was schooled and indoctrinated at an early age in the ways of socialism and communism by the one and only Frank Marshall Davis who taught him everything and what to read: S)l Alinsky ET AL. This coming report is one of I hope many incoming barrages to the obama camp a softening up of the target until the final bunker buster hit his campaign of lies and obfuscation. way to go!!!!
Davis most likely even turned Obama on to CHICAGO where all the action was/is for their kind of ilk.
You people have lost what little is left of your minds if you think Chicago is a socialist city.
worm
You’re right–it’s a corrupt city beyond redemption and corruption knows no ideology.
Chicago is a city where socialist hang out with the thieves, thugs, and corrupt politicians.
For the record I don’t believe any politician coming out of Chicago should ever be considered for POTUS.
Indeed.
Well…Al Capone would disagree with you guys….Aaaaand he is voting for Barky!…Ask ACORN
LMAO
Right. There was no major city that had an African American one-two punch like Cleveland and brothers Louis and Carl Stoke, right? Right?
Hmmmm…Detroit is nice this time of year…chuckle…
Yesterday I downloaded the complete FBI Files of Frank Marshall Davis, he was a pervert and a Communist. Obama writes about “Frank” in his books as being his “Mentor” in Hawaii. Obama was introduced to Davis by his white Grandfather, why does this Grandfather even know this Communist? Birds of a Feather? Does anyone other than myself ever think what kind of family did Obama really come from? In his ads Obama portrays his family as All-American from the wheatfields of Kansas but that FBI file shows a different story.
Obama’s mother was also a communist.
interesting that she took barky to indonesia in 1965 or 1966, when the government murdered communists, over a million of them. who was she working for?
Hmmmm….I think that’s when she got her food stamps…chuckle….
Yes, so many lies n his two books? He was concieved during the Selma march by MLK? LIAR! What else is he lying about? His BC…why doesn’t he just produce his original Hawaiian BC???WtF is the problem? Same Mo with his associations with Ayers??? This phoney piece of S**T!
hank, Well even before Frank Marshall Davis, who confirmed he was a Marxist and bisexual. There was his mother, before she dumped him on his grandparents, with her anti-American views, she also influenced the phoney messiah. BTW, Bill Ayers is also a bisexual, he writes about it in his book. Maybe Soetoro-Obama found a kindred spirit with Ayers, Marxist and Homosexual experiences? Wh knows, many strange circumstances revolving around “Little Boots!”
hank48188, “complete FBI Files of Frank Marshall Davis”
Link? or ?
Thanks
I found it as a Reader Article in that Section at realclearpolitics.com. That Section lets anyone post articles and I look through it every day, it’s halfway down the homepage on the right. You can vote on articles and at least read a blurb about them. The website where I found the link is called U.S.A. Survival News, check it out it’s about 100 pages
What article? About what?
At realclearpolitics.com they have a Section on the right, halfway down the homepage called READERS ARTICLES, people post links to all sorts of articles at blogs or publications, good video links too, today they had links for a SNL skit, it was a spoof of C-Span with Bush, Pelosi, Barney Frank and George Soros, you have to see this. The Article was a link on the Blog called U.S.A. Survival News to the complete FBI Files on Frank Marshall Davis who was Obama’s “Mentor” in Hawaii, he called him FRANK in his book
He named his daughter Stanley…how beat is that?
He probably got reefer from Frank and listened to Monk with little Barky.

Thanks Larry, I look forward to reading Matthew’s post.
OT - I just received this e-mail from Arlen Spector regarding my e-mail I sent him in regards to Obama’s eligibility to be pres. Even though he doesn’t respond to any info on what he would do about my concern, he does mention it in the e-mail. He is the only one that I have sent an e-mail to concerning this, that has sent me an e-mail addressing my concern and not an automated e-mail.
Dear Ms. horner:
Thank you for contacting my office regarding the Logan Act. The concerns of my constituents are of great importance to me, and I rely on you and other Pennsylvanians to inform me of your views. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office or visit my website at http://specter.senate.gov. Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely,
Arlen Specter
Sen. Specter Rocks!
This is the reason I have always voted for him - the only Republican (until McCain) who has gotten my vote.
Yeah…Don’t always agree with Arlen Specter…But the Man has my respect!….aaaand up until this election I have always voted democrat…although I will be gleefully playing a republican at the polls this year…
Don’t always agree with Arlen Specter…
Love the Single Bullet Theory. He does have my respect.
lol…teak
QUISQUE COMOEDUS EST…SPECTER!
Everybody’s a comedian…even Specter!
I’m also one of Senator Specter’s constituents. I think I’ll send an email myself. Maybe if he sees a number of us voicing concerns, he’ll be spurned to action. Agree with him or not on the issues, I think he actually cares.
It’s so bizarre yet laughable to think that Tweety Matthews is thinking of running for Arlen’s Senate seat.
I hope Tweety does and gets his feathers a little more than ruffled by Specter. Matthews is such a wuss.
That’s why I respect him…Specter tries to be fair
Is this going to be written about in the mainstream media? I hope so!
HOW STUPID DO THESE FOLKS THINK AMERICANS ARE!…THIS IS GETTIN SILLY.
Thanks Larry for the video…The American Voter is smarter than these elitists think…
How can Gibbs treat this association with so much levity? Perhaps Obama and his campaign really believe it is acceptable for Presidential candidates to work with, plan with, strategize with, raise money with, exchange ideas with and network with terrorists.
from TexasDarlin’s Blog:
“1981, New York City: Just a Bizarre Coincidence?”
http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/1981-new-york-city-just-a-bizarre-coincidence/
“One of the former Black Panthers arrested in connection with the Brinks robbery is Nathaniel Burns, a member of the Black Liberation Army. Burns is also known as Sekou Odinga. Burns/Odinga is sentenced to 25 years-to-life for attempted murder of a police officer. (ODINGA, sound familiar?)”
Me:
(Is it way too crazy to think that Barack Obama’s actual family was in The Weather Underground? Is it wayyy too crazy to think that maybe Obama himself was in…The Weather Underground? No way, right? RIGHT?!?)
Is anyone emailing the McCain campaign to give them this information?
Holy S—T! Obama may very well have direct ties to the WU!
(See the texasdarlin.wordpress.com link above.)
Yeah…I guess folks will have to scratch off ODINGA on the list of popular names to name your kid…chuckle…Obama will be next…lol
It wouldn’t surprise me at all to think that Obama was running around with (or a part of) the black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, and or the Weather Underground in NYC.
It makes sense, it connects everything. Khalid al-Mansour, Ayers, Dorhn, Farrakhan, Wright,…Frank Marshall Davis..Chicago…how hard-core Michelle is…and I have no idea if that guy Odinga is really a part of Obama’s family. That would be nuts.
Every connection revolves around: socialism/ communism/ anti-capitalism and racism against whites/ jews; and anti-Americanism, and then a lot of Muslim connections. It always revolves around this stuff.
Hell, even Rezko worked with the black panthers.
Hmmmm….in short…fascism…with a dash of commie
Rezko worked with NOI Jabir Muhammad…
Oh, he died recently:
August 26, 2008
Jabir Herbert Muhammad, son of Nation of Islam founder and former Muhammad Ali manager, dies at 79
http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/rezko/1127113,jabir082608.stng
His son is sueing Rezko for using his house in a trust scam….
oh yes.
But Odinga could be a name like Park or Patel or Singh.
WAIT WHAT THE F*CK?
WTF????
At Occidental, Obama belonged to Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a radical socialist organization of which the Weather Underground was an off-shoot????????????
HE WAS A MEMBER OF SDS?
Can this be PROVEN?
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE IF IT CAN BE PROVEN!!!!!
THEY ARE GOING TO NEED 5 PREGNANCY SUITS AND A WOLFEMAN BABY TO COVER THIS ONE UP IF IT BREAKS!!!
JGDBAW, you are hysterical to read. You need to write a complete piece here and get it posted for all to enjoy.
hehehe
Its called controlled Hysteria!
yup, saw it too… the whole banana right here…
so it is possible that BO knew Ayers AND ODINGA back in 1981 ???? holy crap
http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/1981-new-york-city-just-a-bizarre-coincidence/
The SDS was started at Columbia by a kid named Mark Rudd…there were riots there and and lots of police and i twas a mess…It ruined Columbia’s reputation for a long time…i know because when my son decided to go to college there. i worried about it…he did graduate from Columbia and it is fine now …my grandchild is now there…but back in the day it was “THE” place for radicals.
“…from 1981…????”
Dude no one cares about 1981, that’s so last Century…
Bunch of losers..
Get ready for “Mr. President Obama” - I hope that tastes like a tuer in your mouth…
PUMA’s…???? that sounds so last century too…
Keep playing your instruments, there’s no doubt your ship is sinking fast - it will be over soon, fear not..
The Weather Underground disbanded right after the Vietnam War ended, about 1976. The war was the main rallying issue of the left against the status quo. I hate Obambi, but actually admire the WU for what they tried to accomplish. Their bombs were set off only when they warned people in the area to clear that area, thus they never actually harmed anyone physically. In the end though, when Ayers talks about being unrepentent and not doing more, given the politics and heat of the times, I rather admire it. But I do fear his socialist tendencies in policymaking roles, and so Obambi must be stopped before he permanently pollutes our govenment with socialists. You think Bush was bad with his politicization of the Justice Dept? Wait till Barky and Co gets their hands on the whole executive and judicial branches!!
Wrong about everything you said about the WU.
I was heavily involved with the largest non-violent anti-war group. We even despised the WU.
Go read a book. They killed people.
mmmhmm…dodge ball 101
Just AMAZING that Robert Gibbs, who has worked with Senator Obama since 2004, after completing his job to create that PAC to “take out Howard Dean” and air those Osama Bin Laden ads against Dean, after leaving the Kerry campaign, has NOT HAD A SINGLE CONVERSATION WITH OBAMA ON WHEN HE LEARNED AYERS WAS A TERRORIST.
Just AMAZING. WOW! …. excuse me, I need to go get my shovel.bbs
What?
Why is there a problem with him never having asked?
These people ar professional.
They don’t need to ask for clarification about whats as plain as the noses on their faces.
If they ask they can’t then claim plausible deniability.
Again, why have a conversation with Obama about Ayers when Ayers is Baracks Political godfather?
Thats like somoen asking you if you know your maternal uncle.
Please…its a stupid question. Of course you do. And of course he did.
Barack Obama. - LIES! AND MORE LIES!
Bet you have that the same place the whitey tape is.
Debbie!
Doin’ Dallas still? Or are you trying to fuck a whole country now? Now there’s a hiding place for that tape…
Nah, Little Debbie is now selling nasty-ass snack cakes along with her newest perfume–Hogwash.
Larry thank god for you and everyone at NQ!
I agree.
I AGREE!!!
thanks Kat for posting that link…I tried to on another thread….Barky and his Cowinkydinks…Just keep adding up…Of course we’ve been following this shit for a while…Glad to see the GOP has no hesitation using any of it…Go Johnny Go!
COUNTRY FIRST!
Those of us who wanted HRC and knew that she could unite the party must relay on the other side of the house to do the work of our former party.
Yep…Aaaand we have kept a LIST…Aaaand those that were a part of Barky’s sham…WILL BE PURGED
I hope the McCain campaign brings this up in the Townhall TONIGHT. I am watching for real.
PUMA 2008!
OBAMA…SEMPER IN EXCREMENTO…SOLE PROFUNDUM QUI VARIAT!
Obama…Always in the Shit…only the depth varies!
LMAO. That is perfection.
Anyone notice that as soon as the polls had Obama over 50%, the stock market plunge to new lows. WHen the race was almost tie, the stock market was doing fine. It seems whenever the MSM show polls of Obama winning, the stock market dips. I think many people are taking their money out of the market because they know an Obama presidency means higher capital gains. The market is fearful of an Obama presidency with a democrat control congress. The stock market will do better when John McCain poll ratings get better.
The MSM is manipulating the Polls to show Obama up. They are tryigng to depress McCain supporters. And in so doign they are sendign the stock market awry. But this race is still very close. Noway Obama is up 15 points in PA.
Yeah, especially when you consider that 40% (28% + 12%) OF HRC voters are still not voting for the ONE. Obama has to register a lot of double voters and dead voters to win this one.
There should a definite co-relation. Remember the market if founded on capitalism, and socialism repudiates such commercial enterprises like the Stock Market.
Just remember 9/11 and what happened with the market.
Every time Obama is up, they remember also the taxes for the “rich” he is promising, and that means a redflag and “hands off” to uncertainty.
QUESTION FOR THE CANDIDATES TONIGHT AT THE DEBATE:
Is it OK to maintain a professional relationship with a unrepentant terrorist? (Y/N)
(Professional relationship = allowing yourself to work side by side)
Obama was not raised as an american. Obama was raised by an athesit mother and an indonesia stepfather. He did not grow up with the pledge of allegiance. He grow up with anti america noise in his ears. When obama wasnt living in indonesia going to a muslim school he was living in america getting schooled on marxism–the guy never had a chance to love this flawed but great country.
That is way obama gravited toward wright, ayers, frank, farrankan and yes michelle (read her thesis).
Obama might have the ability to be someone’s president but not the united states president.
If this is true, this should automatically disqualify him.
PUMA
“was raised by an athiest mother” so farkin what? Better he was raised by a superstition believing mother? Seems the moron in the White House today b”believes”. Give me an athiest any time. Generally speaking they don’t kill you cause you don’t worship standing on your left foot on alternate Tuesdays instead of Thursdays..
Could everyone please keep the religious comments to themselves. There are people of various religious stripes and none all who post here. What unites most of us (aside from the Obama trolls) is that we look forward to the defeat of Barack Obama and do what we can to work towards that end.
c’mon secular, be nice. Appreciate the entirety of the post by a fellow PUMA. I too have a problem with the Tuesday/Thursday foot thing, but let’s be nice to each other.
Yes it should but it’s not sinking in. People aren’t believing us. They think we say these things in an act of desperation. When McCain was ahead in the polls he should have been informing the voters about Obama. We would only have to remind them and show added proof now, instead of trying to convince them that what we say is true.
So true..But better late than never….Hope Repubs didn’t wait too long. I heard Campbell Brown is saying “Stop with the negativity!” That stupid phoney, CNN, in the words of Rev Manning “The Cable Negro Network!” LMAO! Seriously-the corporate controlled media needs to be broken. They have lost all credibilty. TG for the internet and NQs..Clinton, 2012!

[About Stanley Ann Dunham]
Isn’t it strange that she is traveling at such and early age, pregnant at age 17, runs away with a Kenyan in the the early sixties? Somewhere I read she hated her parents, especially her father? No wonder little boots is so confused regarding his respect for women. Plus we have the Larry Sinclair allegations, Mr. Soetoro has never denied or suede LS! Plus you have Biden, jr”s arrest of LS, after his NPC appearance! F**King MSM-they need to be nailed, yet they are all over internet rumors regarding Palin, 17yr old daughter! The corporate controlled media needs to be investigated, bigtime!
that’s because they are LIES about Obama. Palins daughter is pregnant, no lie about that…and the idiot will have to get married to this poor dolt cause mama is running for VP…gives up his life to stay with bristol - what a waste. and palin has the gall to act like her family is doing the right thing????? they are low class uneducated dolts, every one of them. embarrassing to this country.
Sorry Larry, but all this will fall on deaf ears.
The media doesn’t care what this guy does. The only thing that might take him out is the “Whitey Tape”.
Is there such a thing? If it doesn’t appear before Nov. 4th, then you dangled a carrot, and I’ll be more than disappointed.
Patience, grasshopper.
Larry never said the tape exists, so no need to get angry at Larry if the tape doesn’t show.
Well, he never attested that it did exist because he never claimed to have seen it. But, he did give personal voucher to two close friends who said they had seen it, and when you stick your neck out like that it can’t be with no consequences. If I were in Larry’s position and there was no tape, I would have two less friends and a bunch of egg on my face.
Actually, I believe that the number was four, not two.
I agree with Shiloh. Play the darn tape already! If whoever has it, waits any longer than the next couple of days to reveal it, then it won’t be enough time for McCain to recover. Whoever is advising the people with the tape are morons! RELEASE THE WHITEY TAPE NOW or McCain will lose!!!!
what are you talking about. If there is a whitey tape 24 hours before the election is all it will take!
Stop crappin your pants. there is 3.5 weeks of slow cookin of Obama’s chickens to come yet!
Let’s hope his chickens are comin’ home to roost. The whole effin flock of them.
I’d like to see the whitey tape just to watch Meshell turn green as she watches in abject horror as the vision of the WH fades away.
I think one thing we learned about America this election is the length of their short term memory. If the tape exists and it is played now, in one (1) week it will be forgotten. It needs to be played as close to election day as possible so we are all walking to the polls taking about it.
You are correct .the obamists will spin the tape like a top if given too much lead time…The national attention span is 48 hours …..lets hope there is a tape and it drops on barry like a bomb.48 hours before 11/4
I think what the GOP has in waiting is much worse than the reported “Whitey Tape” and will be a complete and utter shock to the electorate. It could be the “Whitey Tape” was a diversion to give the Opampers camp a false sense of security since we know they could try and weasel out of it like they already tried preemptively: Michelle said “Why’d he.”
Just to be perfectly clear: I find Larry to be an honorable person and am not implying he has anything to do with the diversion I think could have been perpetrated. Larry only reported what people he trusted told him. Bottom line is I think the tape exists but knowledge of it was leaked to help mask a nice surprise for Opampers.
I think Republicans would have to be very careful if it is something more than the whitey tape. If its a deal breaker, like proof that Obama was born on the moon of alien parents, and the Repubs release it right before election day, then it will look like they were toying with the electoral process. The Dems would then have to quickly pick a replacement candidate. The American public might start asking why the Repubs waited til the last minute to release this information. It might leave such a bad taste, that moderates would switch their vote to the Dem candidate-probably Hillary. Then the Repubs would lose.
But on a personal level, I hope there is something big. I want to see Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Brazillenut, Ayers, Soros and the whole lot of the MSM stuck in the bottom of the cesspool from which they sprang.
Lisa, I think this is a very intelligent analysis. I, for one, am hoping for something beyond the “Whitey Tape,” which has become something of a holy grail. I have a rather naive hope that they could be sitting on some more pertinent evidence: proof of birth in Kenya or some other country would do it. But like you say, if something exists, they can’t very well reveal it at the last moment. It has to come very soon.
DB…I don’t know where you live…BUT…THE GOP IS KICKIN BARKY’S ASS….Aaaand the it is workingclass Rudy & Palin who are Bodyslammin him…LOL
Barky is gettin whooped by America’s Mayor & America’s sweetheart…it is classic…strategy…Aaaaand they are speaking the truth
GO SARAH!
GO RUDY!
BEAT THAT DRUM!!!
The whitey tape wouldn’t take him out. It would only drop him a point or two at the most. Most people wouldn’t care.
Bull, it would be at least ten points in a heartbeat.
Especially if it’s tied to barry himself - meaning an intro where michelle says something like, “barack and I hold the same views on just about everything…” We know she’s said that kinda stuff on the stump. These 2 are married - they have children they’ve brought up with and around these same views.
If the whitey tape is as advertised, or even close to it, it goes to not only her radical views and her racism but also to her temperament, her honesty, maybe even her sanity (if it’s as vicious a rant as we’ve heard), her suitability as a parent and definitely to the devastating prospect of this unseemly woman becoming first lady of the United States.
0bama’s wife IS 0bama. If the whitey tape exists, and it goes viral, 0bama’s toast.
You’re one of those who was left behind, huh?
Ferdie, LOL!
He/she is relying on those loaded pr0bama polls for that 1 percent difference ….
Americans have been conditioned by the celebrity culture and the visual–this combined with being sick of working 2 or 3 jobs to keep their houses and food on the table has made them believe anything and too tired to look beyond the lies. So,McCain needs to keep it simple, short, sensationalistic, and if at all possible get some videos of BO meeting with his radical buddies smoking dope and talking about taking down the American governemnt as we know it.Hey, something’s out there, maybe one of his radical buddies from Columbia will sell it. Of course there’s still a 25 million reward for bin Laden and no one’s turned him in.
Hey…would that even work??? Look at Marion Barry in DC! They just relected that brother! AAs need to get their act together!
I’m freaking out. I can’t even imagine what would happen if Nobama wins. God save us!
There are people on the right wing who think it is ok if he does. They will vote McCain, but they believe McCain will push the country to the left. They know Obama will try to push it much further, but they don’t think he will succeed in that and they think he will be another Jimmy Carter, and lead to another Ronald Reagan. I’m serious. I really don’t think he will win but if he does he will be under relentless attack from the start, it might even be fun.
Gee…Here’s something those folks should consider…BARKY AND THE PATRIOT ACT…+ ALL THOSE NEW FCC & FICA ACTS….Aaaaand a Democratic Congress
Yeah, but it would just suck if our first black president turned out to be less than ethical. Its supposed to be a special moment in our history & Oblahblah will soil it.
That 1,000 point drop? Just the beginning!
Since today’s debate is a town hall meeting when will McCain be able to bring up Ayers, Rezco, Wright, etc, I want all the goodies to come out tonight, and bring up Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, both got huge money from Fannie and Freddie, bring up how Obama himself got a HUGE sum of money from Fannie and Freddie and also said that last year that subprime morgages were “a good idea” Obama is a liar and a fraud, I hope tonight McCain brings a little Barracuda with him and knocks out the racist marxist
Sarracuda, Hell I want someone to ask him about the Larry Sincalir allegations? His BC? His educational records? Just how much taxes is he going to raise and how is he going to pay for all those new programs he speak about? Which ones would be delayed, is he going to go after the Mortgage Wall street greed??? No one pins him or asks him to be specific…
Ayers attacks effective - Obama Media wants truce
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/ayers-attack-a-winner-entire-media-wants-a-truce/
RIGHT DA FARK ON!!! Keep it coming!!! MORE,MORE!!! All fact based but lots and lots of it!!!
I left a comment on the site…..go McCain, keep it up!
In a chess match when you are ahead you seek to trade bishop for bishop and rook for rook because it hastens your win. But if you are behind you seek defensive positions because you can’t afford to trade blow for blow. The bad guys always want a cease fire, when they are getting their asses kicked.
NO TRUCE!
NO WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER!
ASSOCIATIONS MATTER!
CHARACTER MATTERS!
COUNTRY FIRST!
CULT OF PERSONALITY AND TERRORIST SYMPATHYZERS NEVER!
Ditto, no more benefit of Double, the Ahole has to nailed for his smears, lies, race baiting and his thug supporter tactics>>> no more affirmative action for prez!
doubt
Ayers attack working - all media calling “truce”
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/ayers-attack-a-winner-entire-media-wants-a-truce/
Translation:
DON”T TALK ABOUT OBAMA’S PAST IT WILL HURT HIM!
Here’s a truce for you.
NO WHITE FLAG OF SURRENDER TO THOSE WHO WOULD DESTROY OUR GREAT NATION!!
Actually Oblockhead stopped believing in socialism and started believing in Fascism when he got to the part about “to each according to his needs”. Oblockhead needs everything and need it now, regardless of his suspect ability at doing anything.
I have wondered for a long time now why the McCain people didn’t tag Obama with the “socialist” label. That’s clear;y what he is.
Whitey tape , socialist, birth certificate something has to give .Timing is everything?
Correct. My gut tells me they have something even better than on your list ready to drop on his sorry ass.
Agreed, Galt.
Everyone needs to remember just how short the electorate’s memory is. Hell, no one remembers the lipstick comment or bitter white folk now.
McCain has to wait until the very last moment to drop the incendiaries on Oblockhead’s campaign. It is the only way the dullards voting for Oblockhead will remember on election day.
Christ, give the RNC and McCain some credit here.
I used to run political campaigns for a living and I can tell you they better bring out their “dirt” NOW. There is such a thing as a candidate going past the point of no return and McCain is heading there now. WHoever has, whatever dirt, in the RNC or the McCain camp needs to GET IT OUT NOW!!!
Don’t forget Rev Wright is still out there..yet electorate forgets, they need to remind the public…
If they have something better, then it is going to be a whopper! Sadly, many of us have been sitting in front of these blogs since January and actually nothing is new or surprising anymore. So if the GOP has something I can not wait.
Maybe it’s actually Hillary’s “nuclear option” she promised us way back when.
Why dont you guys talk about S. Palin and her first dude being assosiated with the Alaskan Independence Party? Todd being a card carrying member and Palin recording a “welcome” video for their convension. If it were Obama or even Michele who this was about you people would be all over it!
I cant wait for Nov. 4th, I will be the first one to come here and laugh at each and every one of you! (look at all the polls; state or national) Call me a thug, call me a child, call me whatever you want, just make sure you call Obama, Mr. President!
Wheres the whitey tape?
Irrelevant to the subject. Stay on topic, troll.
Once again.
I wonder why the Obama campaign said that MO said, “Why’d he.”, not “whitey”.
If there is no whitey tape, why didn’t Barack’s campaign deny the existence of the tape in the first place?
comment by I Don’t Care: obviously you’ve mistaken us for people that give a damn!
Did the AIP kill anyone?
NOPE.
Did the AIP bomb the Pentagon, US Capitol Building, police stations, homes?
NOPE.
Next.
===crickets===
I’m told the whitey tape is in a bank deposit box in Arlington, VA. As for the rest - yeah yeah, we’re gonna laugh at you too.
What’s the matter with supporting freedom of speech up there with the Alaskan Separatist Movement? You really THINK those nuts want to separate from the most powerful country in the world? LMAO
But, come to think….maybe there is some Obama support up there for separation. Wouldn’t surprize me with all the socialist, fascist leanings that are being exposed about the Dimocratic candidate!
If the Palins went to a meeting, it wouldn’t make them members, hello??? If they used her voice, it wouldn’t make her in the tank for them. Freedom of speech??? Let’s practice more of it~!
Obama is a scumbag, and unfit, unqualified, and dangerous, to boot.
They can have my free speech when they pry it off my cold, dead lips. Of course they’ll have to get around that pesky Second Amendment to do that.
Know what they call a socialist up in Alaska?
Bait
Palin recording a “welcome” video for their convension [WTF?]
If you wish to repeat statements please do so accurately and in context. Palin’s so called “welcome” statement to the party was out of fairness and inclusion, to treat everyone equally. That is what you people do not understand about this woman. She is one of very strong convictions, yet she does not allow that to get in her way of governing. She understands there are opinions opposite of hers and respects those who have them. She understands that she needs to respect those differing from her because she needs to work with them i.e. she does not start the day pissing off the democrats by arguing abortion or gay issues because there are more important things on the table like environment and economics that she needs there support on.
Sounds like someone that could do a pretty good job with a bi-partisian senate if you ask me. I am just so sure Republicans are going to jump across party lines to support Obama in all his liberal crap.
I love Obama’s Communication Director!! He communicates so well.
“I would not sit on a board with a terrorist.”
Okay, so why did your client?
Notice how he backtracks after he says “Yes” to Mark Halperan’s question:
“So while sitting on the board, Obama knew of Ayers’ past?”
Obama throws Gibbs under the bus in 3 … 2 …. 1 ….
It would not surprise at all if Obama signed a document indicating his socialism. I think I have seme leaning that way myself in that I support Universal Health Care. The problem with Barack Obama (among many) is that he doesn’t acknowledge those leanings and will do whatever he can to get himself elected. There are way too many questions about Obama and way too many despicable friends and associates. I think Bill Ayers is way beyond socialism, I think he’s a sociopath.
I know someone who saw Sarah yesterday in Florida, she said the look on Sarah’s face when talking about Ayers told the story, I believe they got something HUGE on Obama that is about to come out. They are only mentioning Ayers, ya all notice that, they don’t mention Rezco or Khalili or Wright, only Ayers, someone posted on another forum about how the republican party has an audiotape of Obama and Ayers talking about how Communism is change and that Americans are stupid and lazy and that it will be released after the debate, I hope that’s true, just the look on Sarah’s face yesterday and even today for that matter has that “I know something you don’t know” look, I know when faces tell the story and they have something juicy
I hope you are right!
I cannot believe the rise of the anti-American left has taken over the democratic party and is a heartbeat away from political power. At a time when America is hurting, the radical left is happy.
OBama rise in this election has been funded by America hating foreigners who wants to see Obama win. Obama campiagn has refused to release the names of his donors giving less than $500 to his campaign. WHen this election is over, it will be the largest case of election fraud in mAerican history.
The American election system has been hijacked by foreigners and Obama is a pawn in their capmpaign to bring America to her knees. I hope patriotic MAericans will wake up soon andn take back their country. No foreigner should be allowed to influence your demcoracy as has been down in 2008.
Agreed.
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/09/23/the-trojan-candidate/
hahaha
“Heres a quarter call someone who cares?”
Oh the american people care alright!
And come November 4 they are going to throw you and your sleazy candidate and his america hating associates right back into the gutter of chicago politics that you crawled out of.
anyone do a freedom of information request from the FBI,CiA,NSA. on Barry Soetoro as well as the name Barack Obama? I bet you would get a lot of info on the name Barry Soetoro!
Have any of you considered that what is waiting for Obama is so lethal that the reason it can’t come out too early is it might give the party time to put Hillary on the ballot instead and they don’t want that?
If McCain waits beyond this week to “drop the bomb” on Obama, it will backfire for him. People will be ticked off he waited so long to bring the information forth and will blame HIM! I have seen this over and over again while managing campaigns for years! If MCCain and the RNC don’t reveal what they are going to reveal this week, McCain will lose the race.
So, get your butts in gear and get all the information out now! America is waiting!
nononono. It isn’t a bomb, it’s a whole series of bombs. We are already ramping up this week. There will be plenty to spread out over the next four.
BREAKING NEWS: HUSSEIN OBAMA, THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATED BY FBI AND CIA FOR HIS LINKS TO TERRORIST ASSOCIATES AND HIS FORGERY BIRTH CERTIFICATE. IF TRUE, MR HUSSEIN WILL BE JAILED FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST VOTERS AND AMERICA IN THE WHOLE.
good work, if you’re a 12 yr old
Most obots now are much older than those about 6 weeks ago. These obots make $7.00 per hour (cash in hand money) paid by Obama’s compaing and at the same time they claim states’ benefits.
These lazy obots are very desparately in need for equal pay as those americans who work hard. Yes, Vote for OUR MESSIAH, MR HUSSEIN OBAMA.
That’s funny. The ones I deride daily are just as stupid as the ones who came before them. They might be older, but they’re no smarter than the original bag of hammers sent our way.
Older obots appear to be more stupid than the younger ones as most of them are on states’ benefit for LIFE!
The new crop don’t have their hearts in it. It’s just a job.
I agree Bop, Trollz ain’t as Tasty as they used to be.
I guess school started in Gaza…
Yes, remember believe? there was a dedicated troll.
I see all the Obots got their talking points. We bring up Ayers, they bring up the AIP. I found other Obots doing the same thing on other blogs.
Big differences between the AIP and Weathermen. No one was killed and they didn’t plant bombs at the US Capitol Bldg, Pentagon, homes, police stations, etc.
That’s what the bots instructions are but it turns out the trading blow for blow isn’t working, McCain’s blows are landing and Obama’s are not. So they want a truce
This is what I’ve been saying about keeping your ammo till the final weeks. Obama has fired every shot he has except for feeble stuff like Keating and that isn’t sticking, so they want a truce. McCain on the other hand, has been holding his fire and has the big guns in waiting.
Yep and here’s why…Johnny is well known Barky is unknown
mccain should also hammer obama on the bitter comments and the typical white person
Definitely! Most Americans have heard those remarks - they got pretty pissed off at the time and it helped Hillary with working class dems and other hard-working people - but life goes on and people tend to forget. Time to remind ‘em, Mac!
LET HIS OWN WORDS REVEAL WHO BARACK IS:
LET HIM DENY HIS OWN WORDS!!
Stop Obama posted the whole book during the primaries and I think they have archives…
I’m as anti-Obama as you can get, but as a matter of public record and in the interest of honest discourse, the latter IS a corruption of a quote. It was taken from a section talking about the concerns of immigrants who are American citizens.
“Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Still, We CANNOT have someone with this type of
mentality running our great nation! I can only pray whatever “bombs” or smoking guns the McCain camp has in store are dropped as items that can be shaped and censored by the mainstream media.
That was quite a delightful picture on Fox News a few minutes ago…the FBI raiding the Las Vegas office of ACORN! They found voter registration forms there for the entire team of the Dallas Cowboys.
They do try to have fun at work, don’t they?
Are you shittin me…The Dallas Cowboys…rflmao…
That is too funny…Damn Straight! I bet Jerry Jones is Pissed Off about that!…Won’t go over well in the mildly fascist state of Texas…chuckle…Let alone DALLAS!…If that was a joke annie…Hat tip to ya!
Not a joke .. they were talking about Tony Romo voting in Nevada ….
I would like to say thank you Obama supporters and lurkers for your wonderful remarks on my blog post.Your words have inspired many. In more ways than you will ever know.
I would only be a lukewarm Mac supporter without the trolls. Thanks to the rude, racist, sexist, elitist, classist, misogynist and homophobic trolls I am not only voting for Mac but actively helping to elect him.
I forgot to add “ageist.”
Soldier, thanks are to be given to these bitter angry democrats for the most vulgar and vile comments ever to be written on these blogs. It is due to these individuals that I have come to see what the D party stands for now. This morning I cast my early ballot and there was absolutely not a single ounce of hesitation casting my vote for McCain. Now I have to be honest and that vote was not just cast for McCain, I want to see Palin in the White House. (and I have to add, if she does a good job and Hillary decides to run again in 2012, I am going to have a hard time choosing who to vote for President in 2012)
dont forget obama and biden voted to let hawaii suceed from us! they voted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patrick: I believe the swiftboaters came out exactly 2 weeks before the election.
Never thought I’d think they were right but looking Kerry since then, he’d have been a disaster. The universe works in strange ways.
Gibbs makes my skin crawl. Almost more so than Barry.
There’s nobody on O’s team that doesn’t make my skin crawl! Bill Burton makes me ill to watch him, and Axelrod is slime squared. These guys are bottom feeders.
According to the propagandists over at zoid central obamalamadingdong is outspending McCain by 3-1. And all the conman can manage with all that is a statistical dead heat. I am feeling pretty good, well, THAT is an exageration, but I am confident that dindong is going to lose and by a surprising margin.
GOP…KEEP HAMMERING THAT BELL OF TRUTH
AMERICA…VERITAS VOS LIBERABIT
America…The Truth Shall Make You Free
Annie Carmel, No it was actually a month before the election (just shy of a month). I remember because I was working on another campaign at the time. I am telling you—McCain must act now with the “dirt”.
soldier4Hillary, DAMNNNN yer HOT!!!! And ya ain’t hard on tha eyes neither!!
Breaking News in the case of Berg v. Obama, et al. The DNC & Obama filed a Motion for Protective Order to delay having to provide discovery regarding Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate to refute the claim he is a natural born citizen. Berg is furious b/c it is a simple response that Obama has to make like McCain did, provide an accurate birth certificate.
Obama does not want to do it b/c it does not exist. Obama is an INDONESIAN CITIZEN BY ADOPTION and he is still called Barry Soetoro. Obama did not reounce his citizenship and hence can’t be President of the U.S. DNC and Obama know this and are about to have the biggest surprise in their life. The Manchurian candidate is trying to overthrow our government.
Check out Obama Crimes and see for yourself.
http://www.obamacrimes.com/
McCain and Palin need to address why Obama will not provide a valid birth certificate.
PUMA 2008!
Objective Analysis–where have you been? That news has already been discussed and evaluated. Did you know there was a new filing where someone piggybacked onto Berg’s case. Someone who wants to remain anonymous in California. The case is getting bigger by the day!
Yep - Sarah needs to talk about it on the stump so the media will cover it - something as simple as “Senator 0bama, can we see a valid birth certificate?”
YOU BETCHA!….Berg is one of my heroes
Patrick, glad to see you-I was getting worried!
http://danielforsbakk.com/images/20060226172149_yummy2.jpg
I just got my absentee ballot (in California) I’m a life long democrat and I voted for McCain/Palin. Country First.
Oooh - haven’t gotten our mail yet today, but I bet ours are there too. Another 2 votes for McCain/Palin!
If only they were gonna make a difference in blue California…
I think the momentum of the Berg case is not the court since the judge is sitting on his hands. But there is media attention now and I think there will be more. A lot of people I know who previously thought it was just another conspiracy theory are now scratching their heads and wondering why the heck he wants to go through all this just to avoid showing his birth certificate? There is no plausible return for Obama in fighting so hard to keep the records secret UNLESS there is something there he really doesn’t want to come out.
We need a lot more people to be asking themselves that question. Spread it. Don’t make the accusation that the bc doesn’t exist or that he is not a citizen. Just ask people to brainstorm some reasons why he wants to fight so hard to avoid releasing his bc when that would kick his foes to the curb.
I agree, its simple..produce your original birth certificate, why all of the fuss??? There should be no problem here? Just produce it, end of case? Same with LS allegations-just sue for defamation, deny?? WTF is the problem?? If Soetoro is elected, do we hear a constutional crisis? Yes, that’s all we need in this most serious time in our history. God-Damn the DNC, Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, Wexler……the list can go on!
If anyone is interested, Lou Dobbs is going to be talking about the Ayers/Obama relationship.
Looking forward to the story Larry.
Question Larry,
Anything to do with the “New Party”? I know I read about Obama being endorsed by them or something. That was way back when.
I don’t know what this information will do, I found it back in the primaries, posted here about it, at the LA Times, sent it to FOX and Hillary. I found a copy of the ballot with him on it twice. The archived webpage promoting him, and the agenda/mission statement. Which has since been scrubbed. Some of the added endorsements,etc. I don’t have them anymore because when no one seemed to think it was important I deleted them all. I think I’ll go nosy around and see if I can find anything again.
The fact that Obama lived two blocks from Ayers in NYC is not a fluke.
Check out who owned the building where Obama lived.
Also, He says that he spent his first night in NYC “in an alley” across from the tenament. BULLSH*T!!!
He spent it on Ayers sofa.
Are you sure it wasn’t his bed? Ayers is admitted bisexual and there are all those allegations regarding Soeotor-Obama?
I would also like to know who paid for Harvard expenses??? Columbia expenses?
TD is reporting, along with the rest, that Obama was a MEMBER of S.D.S at Occidental College before transferring to Columbia. I’ve suggested that this needs to be nailed down and proved with irrefutable evidence because of it’s sensitivity.
If BHO was an actual member of SDS, the whole thread ties together. All comes full circle.
The Weathermen was the more violent splinter off of SDS (remember, SDS was Tom Hayden’s group, formed at the University of Michigan, where Ayers went to school). The Weathermen declared war on the U.S. on behalf of the Black Panthers (see al-Mansour / advisor to Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, founders of the Black Panthers) and fire-bombed the home of the judge presiding over the trial of a number of BP members. The Weathermen (Weather Underground, et al.) was formed by Ayers. Ayers lost a lover and roommate, along with two other friends to bomb making explosions/accidents. He is deeply, personally invested in this cause and has brought the term “unrepentant” to new prominence in American lexicon in only a few short weeks.
Then there is the Weathermen unspoken understanding and symbiotic relationship (common to all anti-government subversive groups of the time) with the Black Panthers.
The Black Panthers. Which leads to al-Mansour. And on to Farrakhan, to Wright and the rest. And encircles Barack Obama. Apparently, he claims, all this happened without him knowing it.
Did he join the SDS without knowing he’d joined, too?
[Again: This HAS to be checked out. I'm only doing what today's media does: It "has been reported" so I report that it "has been reported" -- that's all.]
Back to the linkage. The circle come full circle.
Barack Obama helped (this is reported, not confirmed by me independently) organize the Million Man March in 1995, brainchild of Louis Farrakhan as a statement by his revitalized Nation of Islam. Louis Farrakhan, current neighbor of Barack Obama and Bill Ayers (and his wife) and a man praised and honored by an award bestowed by Jeremiah Wright. Jeremiah Wright also helped organize the Million Man March in 1995, along with Barack Obama.
Barack Obama ends up in Chicago with former SDS / Weatherman William Ayers, on a “charitable” foundation board and various subcommittees where, as Chairman of the Board, Barack Obama oversaw the funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes and “initiatives” of Ayers personally and of other Ayers associates and colleagues.
Excuse me: He didn’t know anything about Ayers?
If Barack Obama was a member of the SDS, it is literally impossible that he didn’t know anything about it’s history, it’s philosophies, it’s offspring (the Weathermen) and, most likely, Ayers himself. I don’t think it’s believable that he didn’t know Ayers anyway, aside from any SDS membership. But, if the man was a member of the organization that gave birth to Ayers’ Weathermen, it’s simply laughable that he didn’t know anything about Ayers’ past.
It’s tantamount to saying he and his wife sat in Wright’s church for 20 years and only heard the choir sing.
Bullshit.
Sorry for the language. Or, maybe I should use the words of William Ayers in this case. No, I’m not sorry for the words. I only hope we are doing enough!
Keep digging.
A Million Shovels.
Have you all seen this video on his cousin Odinga? Devastating. As recently as 2007, he has been helping his cousin in Kenya, an avowed socialist with ties to extreme Muslim factions.

NQ should spearhead an amendment that would require absolute proof of citizenship prior to announcing one’s candidacy and further, should require all candidates to supply medical records and submit to blood testing.
Another amendment which prohibits any candidate from accepting donations from non-citizens and foreign nations and their citizens.
Had we had these in place, Obama would be a non issue.
many of these are already in place, like the prohibition on foreign donations, and the requirement at least for POTUS of those basic proofs.
I think this is willfull disregard and hoodwinking by Obama and the DNC.
Has anyone heard any more about Corsi and if he is still being detained in Kenya? The last I heard was that no one had been able to reach him for many, many hours. Very scary! God knows the reach of Obama to Kenya is more than possible with his cousin in a position of power.
Deported… alive
last I read was he was being DEPORTED. The hotel management that he was staying at also fell under pressure of Odinga government and held a press conference that they follow the law and do not allow smearing.[paraphrasing] uh, yeah, right.
Don’t feel too bad for him.
He just gained a boatload of free publicity.
Thank you Larry, for this post, video, and the upcoming post on Obama’s socialist pledges. This is all making sense now, why he has hidden the truth and hoped to run out the clock. And he may yet still run out that clock before the American voter truly understands. Kudos to you and NQ.
I think we all understand that there are legitimate problems that could very well have “socialist-type” solutions that could work. But I think we deserve a discussion of how it would work and the right to build such solutions into our systems, or create new ones, in a manner that avoids disruption or creating new victims.
Obama hid is connections and agenda for years, and saw fit to lie to America about it right out of the starting gate–. By hiding his agenda, he deprives us of a rational and intelligent discussion of change that might require some type of “socialist” solution.
He never was for collaboration or dialogue though. For this man, power, and the quest for it, corrupts absolutely. Its a different kind of bomb than ayers would throw, but a bomb none-the-less.
Americans will take down Obama like they took down flight 92.
Thanks Doc…

Laura Bush has just had the White House lighted pink for Breast Cancer Awareness … something else we can all support together. My wife’s mom is a survivor so it’s significance to me is very big as this is so often an hereditary illness.
Wife and three daughters all genetically disposed makes a guy quickly sensitive to this.

If you go to this website he has it all in files with news articles, video, etc…I think it goes from Obama file 1 through 24?
http://tinyurl.com/4cwadu
This is a sample from one of the files. He’s very thorough in getting news articles, links, videos:
NP=NEW PARTY!!
“Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a “Democratic Unity” march on Chicago’s West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman).”

MATTNEW’S POST IS UP!!!
http://blogs.suntimes.com/rezko/ I wondered if anybody saw this story!
thanks!
Didn’t Frum break this story in his book? I just read it. NP clearly supports Obama, as does Communist Party USA>
People not getting it, Obama’s camp is putting out numerous stroies and lies so that should it become an issue tonight, Obama has many fields to rebuttle from and McCain will need many attack zones.
Larry should know this is common practice by lying pigeons so that the interrogation is dragged on and on, and in a debate format, time is limited.
It is all a game to pre=empt an assault on Obama tonight by the campaign of lies and smears co-ordinated by David Astroturf Axelrod!
His mommy was a commie.
His Daddy was a commie.
No surprise that he’s a commie too.
To tell the truth I don’t give a damn if he’s a commie - so long as it’s in some other country, running someone else’s economy into the ground.
I certainly hope that Obama believes in the distributive aspects of Socialism.
I doubt if he has any false hopes about a planned economy aspect since Socialist enterprises have fallen short in incentive compatibility and disciplined pluralism. Some failures have been more spectacular than others.
My guess is that he will adapt some sort of plan to continue reformist capitalism and try to muddle through the way the past Presidents have. His initial hurdle is that the Reagan and post-Reagan blunders have diminished the assets he can employ to effect a solution.
However, it the country gets into a Big D Depression, events just might get out of hand.
