So Much For the Reality Based Community

We have endured seven years of Republicans declaring “Mission Accomplished,” dismissing insurgents in Iraq as mere “dead-enders,” and declining to identify water-boarding as torture. So Democrats and Independents, rightly so, started taking pride in calling themselves, “the Reality Based” community. Well John Edwards put an end to that tonight with his endorsement of Barack Obama.

Here is the reality:

1. A significant portion of the Democratic establishment reject Hillary Clinton. It does not matter that she is a stronger candidate than Barack Obama. It does not matter that she has won more votes in states that have had votes. It does not matter that she has demonstrated she can win the key swing states Dems will need to carry to win the November election. And, it does not matter that Barack cannot win those states.

2. Barack’s loss in West Virginia is unprecedented in a presidential primary. A 47 point spread? Are you kidding me. That’s not even close. And what do the reality based Democratic leaders do? They scramble to do everything in their power to distract public attention from that fact and move on to other things like sending out John Edwards and Naral to endorse Barack. If Hillary had lost in West Virginia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania I could understand such endorsements. But she smoked Barack in West Virginia. And that encourages folks to endorse Barack?

3. Hillary will decisively win in Kentucky and will pull close in Oregon. She will win in Puerto Rico. South Dakota and Montana do not matter. They’ll vote Republican in November regardless. Whether Hillary or Barack wins in those states is totally irrelevant. So we will end the primary season with Hillary having won more votes. And what do the Democratic leaders want to do? Pretend that Barack won most of the votes.

4. Neither Barack nor Hillary can win the nomination without Super Delegate votes. If Super Delegates cast ballots based on the percentage of votes each candidate won in the states that have had primary votes than Hillary has garnered the majority. How about if Super Delegates votes according to who has the best chance of beating John Mccain? Well, Hillary wins that one as well. So what are the Supers doing? They are turning to Obama. So much for reality.

But Barack has problems and the problems will get worse. The media and the blogosphere are not going to sit on their hands the next three months. And the ammunition is plentiful. Barack himself resurrected Reverend Jeremiah Wright today. Sending out a ridiculous flier claiming he is a Christian who attends church simply begs the question–does he accept the theology of black supremacy preached and taught by Jeremiah Wright?

Barack’s contacts with Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam will be exposed. He will try to run but you cannot run away from this group. And Malik Shabazz and Louis Farrakhan are solidly in his corner. Commenting on Obama, Farrakhan said:

“What are you trying to do to our brother?… I love that brother. I want that brother to be successful… I have to be very careful in what I say… Where’s God in this? And why now?… What’s going on? Who is this young man?… This young man is the hope of the entire world.”

And listen to Farrakhan’s own words (doesn’t this guy understand the concept of video cameras?):

Barack’s ignorance of critical foreign policy issues will be exploited. His latest Obamaism claiming that “Arabic” translators are needed in Afghanistan is inexcusable for someone who wants to be Commander-in-Chief in the war on terror. The languages of Afghanistan are Pashto and Dari Persian. I guess this puts to bed, once and for all, the rumor that Obama is a secret muslim. Surely a true muslim would understand this nuance.

And then there is the allegation of closet homosexual activity. I do not know if these charges are true or not. But republican surrogates, with Drudge in the lead, are starting to circulate the allegations of Larry Sinclair and others claiming that Barack is on the “down low.” (Please note, I am not linking to any of these stories. I am focused on the fact that the matter is being aired.) These charges made FOX tonight and are being reported in the Globe. Folks standing in grocery lines perusing the tabloids are going to get an eyeful of this stuff. And do not think for a minute that sex don’t sell. Just ask Bill Clinton.

Barack’s dissembling on his relationship with the Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers has helped create an impression that he is covering up things from his past. I suspect he is hiding things other than sexual shenanigans but his tap dancing on the past has planted the seed of doubt. Some are asking, “what else is he lying about?” That will be one of the other story lines. Elites in the media and Democratic party circles will howl in rage and decry the “smear.” My point–regardless of the ground truth, the allegations will be repeated and replayed and Barack will ultimately have to address these in one fashion or another. I do not know how the debate over such allegations helps Barack build support in middle America.

Hillary needs to stay in the campaign till the end because by the time August rolls around the damage to Barack will be so significant that rational folks will realize he is unelectable notwithstanding the mess Republicans have made of things.

My advice? Patience. Let Barack have his codpiece, “Mission Accomplished” moment. Like George Bush, he will rue his strutting and preening and declaring premature victory. Reality will intrude.

  • http://Reddragon62.blogspot.com/ RedDragon62

    You are so right Larry. There are more explosive “Revalations” to come. I also have been hearing about the sexual “stuff’. I wrote something about it. Not Fact based but more along the lines that this WILL come to the surface. It will add to what is already mainstream and no-one is going to be able to stifle it. I suspect the Media has already got a whiff of whats in the air.We shall see.

  • blobert

    I’m wondering if the party is going to wake up and realize they have moved away from the voters.

    What I’m sensing is behind-the-scenes intimidation,
    pressuring and promises aka bribery. I could imagine Kennedy on the phone with Edwards for hours.

  • max

    Obama’s got problems. I’m done with the Democratic Party. I’m mailing my voter registration card tomorrow to become an independent.

  • mr

    reality will intrude hope it wont be too late.my husband always said he looked like a queen. he might have been right.

  • Manu

    Expose Obama’s beliefs on Black Liberation theology. Surely he has read the Church’s manifesto by now, so it’s time that he discussed these issues with the voters. We can start by asking him if he thinks that violent revolution is a good way to gain political power and wright the wrongs of America’s racial history?

    How about it Obama…You’re man enough to run for president, I’m sure you’re man enough to discuss your belief system.

  • Pandora

    Barak is playing a very dangerous game. Promising too many things to too many people and especially people who have diametrically opposite views. Someday it will catch up to him. Bad karma will always haunt you.

  • rjj

    Then what?

    How do people react when you raise expectations, give them hope, then take it away. I.e, do the political equivalent of a “tease”?

  • Ugo

    I do not understand how Americans can go aroud the World taking about respect for humanity, human right but have no respect for a woman?

  • blobert

    Now that would make tasty reading for KY voters!

  • jes

    Patience is a virtue that I shall try to practice. Let’s just hope that Hillary hangs in for the duration.

  • Mary

    Larry, can we have this trash deleted, please?

  • mimi

    Google your own asshole. See what that gets ya!

  • blobert

    Our NY chapter of NOW is furious that the media is broadcasting that a tiny women’s pro choice organization endorsed Obama.
    The media never said a word about NOW.

    NOW says he has a poor record on women’s rights.

  • PJ

    I agree… the Kennedy’s (half of them anyway) are behind BHO and were probably VERY persuasive.

    I’m starting to feel dirty when I hear Obama’s name.

  • mimi

    Thanks for this piece Larry. It saved my day.

    OT Follow this link for an interesting piece from an AA Hillary supporter and why he doesn’t support Obama. worht the read:

    Who said he was man enough to run for president — he is a coward and has run his campaign as such. Even today, he had to hid behind Edwards to upstage Clinton’s big win. If he was man enough to run for president, he would have campaigned in WVa hard and tried to change their minds and try to convince them he is the right guy, a la JFK. Give him a waffle — he is a waffleman.

  • Mary

    Me too, PJ.

    He’s a repulsive candidate. And it has NOTHING to do with being Black.

    The Democratic Party has become a completely empty vessel.

    I’m glad my Dad is no longer alive to see what it has become.

  • http://Supergram.blogspot.com Melissa

    Edwards sold out, plain and simple. Anything to keep the boys club exclusive, and get access to the DNC data base.
    Question- Is it legal for Edwards to be soliciting donations to his scholarship fucn on his John Edwards for Pres e-mail? campaign funds are for campainging no?
    I got an e-mail from Edwards today, less than 12 hours after he sold out. only way he got my e-mail address is from the DNC – bastards. I told him to see if barry could get his rich friends Auchi, Aters and Rezko to donate, I have to save up to pay Obamas global poverty tax

  • blobert

    Nice link. Thank you!

  • Alfred Packer

    So, let me get this straight. Barack is gay because someone, somewhere said something but Larry won’t link to it. I guess he must be taking the old “live girl or dead boy idea” literally and figuring he’ll simply spread a rumor he basically admits is utterly baseless. Nice.

    And he’s on the hook for endorsements from people he has publicly disavowed, whom he has no control over whatsoever?

    And he’s not allowed to admit to being a Christian because of Jeremiah right?

    And you people are Democrats? Liberals????? No, I think you are something else entirely.

  • usedmeat

    What a disappointment, I was hoping Edwards would stay neutral until the convention. I guess he’s no Al Gore.
    BTW: At MyDD they made mention that Elizabeth Edwards wasn’t on the stage. Don’t know if this is because of her illness or because she doesn’t agree with John.

  • Mr.Murder

    Am I my sister’s keeper?

    NARAL dropped off mailing lists a lot today….

  • Andre

    It astounds me that on the day after the primary in the poorest state in the Union, Edwards, who is so against poverty, would endorse the person who lost that state by 41 %. What I see is that Edwards is a insensitive jerk! Just saying! And he was my first choice. So that shows you how much I know, huh?

  • Cindy

    Thank you, Larry. Your wise words have made me feel a little better.

  • Clinton Fan

    I never, ever thought I’d leave the Democratic party. But after this general election, I am OUT THE DOOR. No more halfassed little donations, tens, twenties, and fifties, to candidates from sea to shining sea, no more making phone calls for the party establishment, no more precinct walking, no more exhorting, herding, enthusing and signature-gathering.

    Fuck ‘em. I never thought I would see the day when I’d say this party has left me. I am still STUNNED. It’s pretty hard to come to terms with the fact that the idiots I’ve been supporting all these years are not what they advertised themselves to be.

    They’re nothing but a bunch of sexist tools who can’t see the stronger candidate for fear of being called racists. Any idiot with a dick is preferable to a woman. You can see their fear a mile away. What does that say about them?

    When the pro-choice crowd endorses a guy who votes PRESENT on choice matters, and the guy who claims to be for the working stiff throws his lot in with “Mister Latte, Piss on Your Gas Problems, And Fuck You West Virginia,” we are definitely in Upside-Down Land.

    I hope that President McCain does do something meaningful about global warming. If this shit keeps up, that IS where we are headed–”Hey you kids, keep off my White House Lawn!!!”

    Otherwise, we’re TOTALLY fucked.

    It’s astounding to me.

  • http://www.liberalrapture.com scott

    Gore will come out for barky after he loses KY by 40+

  • Mr.Murder

    The rumors are out there, I’ve listened to people in line at the stores.

    The things Larry has said, of other true relevant topics, pale to the stuff these people hear off right wing media.

    You have no clue.

  • http://camoderate ca moderate

    Not only does this response show disrespect for a former president but responding to a statement that is clearly identified as an undocumented rumor with another salacious undocumented rumor (although not pointing this out) from a disreputable source is despicable and cowardly. Beyond my aversion to your approach, your logic is disjointed as Bill Clinton is not campaigning for public office; therefore, requesting that people Google this rude comment has no relevance to the comments above. Please provide clearly argued points in a respectable manner as well as work on your approach in the future.

  • http://NoQuarterUSA.net Larry Johnson

    You obviously have a reading disorder. I’m not spreading the rumor. Larry Sinclair’s allegations have been circulating for months. Thy are now reported on Fox, the Globe, and Drudge. My point is that these reports will continue, not disappear until Barack confronts them.

    And Jeremiah Wright does not preach or teach mainstream Christianity. He teaches a heresy of black supremacy. Do some reading.

  • usedmeat

    Democrats, yes Your kind of Liberal, no.
    The republican party is going to throw everything they can at Obama in hopes that some of it sticks. That includes gay rumors.

  • qwert

    Obama lost by 41% not 47%. I know math is not the strong suit of the ‘Hillary still can win’ crowd but he lost 67%-26%.

  • Clinton Fan

    Jesus, Andre–that is RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

    I mean, really…WTF????

    The guy who votes PRESENT on choice and thinks a dime a gallon break on gas is meaningless to people living on under twenty grand a year is foolish is somehow FOR the poor?

    It’s INSANE.

  • jes

    No, I don’t think so. Gore is smarter than the rest of them and has said publicly that he will not endorse either candidate before the convention.

  • Anne Hyatt

    You are some very scary people. I find it hard to believe you are Democrats. So much scare mongering and slandering. Black Panthers are not Nation of Islam for one thing, so mixing them shows how false your slur is. Do you know the difference between Shiites and Sunnis? I thought Democrats were the informed thinking party. I voted for Hillery in my primary, but Obama has impressed me with the way he has campaigned and I will happily vote for him

  • Mike in NOLA

    What is the last word that Farrakhan says? It may be useful to find out.

    At first I thought he said KHALIFA, meaning that Obama could become the Caliph, or leader of the Muslim world. This would really be interesting.

    Listening to it again, it sounds like Kaleeda.

    I’m no scholar of Arabic.

    Larry, you probably know someone who can translate this this?

  • usedmeat

    Larry must have been thinking of Obama’s 57 states. Oh and BTW The Messiah can get the magic number of delegates either. Why do you think Dean is juking the Florida and Michigan delegate counts.

  • Mr.Murder

    Larry makes the most sense of anyone talking about Afghanistan. The man who chairs the European Relations subcommittee, Barack Obama, cannot even get the background language right for the country NATO is deployed in.

    He committed a Bushism of warp factor proportions.

  • sas

    Larry – Craig Crawford is talking about how women are so pissed at the way Hillary has been treated, that there may be a walkout at the convention. Can you confirm?

    Can you stir up this pot? Wouldn’t that be a big friggin’hit for the powers that be?

  • JoeySky

    That’s why we are going all the way to the convention with our lady in the pantsuits.

  • yttik

    Thank you, Larry. Your words are a breath of fresh air.

  • Sj

    As far as I know the Muslim religion had no baptismal rights so once you are born from Muslim parents you are classified as a Muslim.

    All this talk by Obama that he found Jesus was he baptized into the Christian religion is there some proof that he did other than he just saying so. He did study the Koran so he has knowledge of it and he does have knowledge of the language and am very sure he knows quiet will how they pray, their teachings as he was going to a school in Indonesia.

    For Obama he cannot admit that and sink his political career, just check all his associates what do you guy feel the Nation of Islam talk about, or what does Farakhan study and even Wright they all at one time studied Islam, that is the unknown danger with Obama something is in that mix that we do not know and he is hiding for political expediency.

    It would really be a sad day to think this man becomes President and we helped that happen and Islam start to raise its head in some form or fashion, I don’t understand how to some this does not worry them especially when there are no answers coming but all the questions and signs are there looking back at us, some of us go on as if it does not matter, as if we are in a daze or afraid to dig and find out, some rather ignore it till its too late,

    I always remember the words of these radical after 9/11 when they said they would destroy America next from within, call me foolish but I am not willing to take a chance with Obama and sit and wait to find out if I was wrong and others were right, not with my future and that of my family I just cant take that gamble.

    Wasn’t it the national Naral that endorsed Joementum in Connecticut? Didn’t the state chapter endorse Ned Lamont?

  • Clinton Fan

    HAHAHAHA!!! I said that when Kerry came to me looking for my help gathering signatures! I’m usually good for a couple of hundred in two days, all primo, totally verifiable, neatly prepared, all blocks completed, and ready to submit to get a name on a ballot (I have a lotta family!). Well, this time, I told him to ask his “Yes We Can” crowd if “Yes They Could” pull away from their vitriolic keyboards and get off their asses and gather signatures for him, because I don’t work for someone who does NOT represent ME. Between him, Kennedy, and Patrick, we have a real THREE STOOGES problem in Massachusetts. So, YES HE CAN ask those assholes to give him a hand, and maybe YES THEY CAN make the political contributions that me and my family used to make to those bums. I’ll put the money I save in my hard-working gas tank.

  • yttik

    By the way, in all good conscience I felt compelled to rip off my bumper sticker last month. I can’t very well drive around with “Reality has a liberal bias” since that’s no longer true.

    I’m back to “Dissent is patriotic” and of course, “question authority” because that one helps me to meet new and interesting forms of law enforcment.

    Heard nbc (you know, GE’s mouthpiece) brag tonight they would be airing bo’s first nat’l ad bs. Didn’t stay to watch.

    On the light side: Bill OReilly was furious tonight. Is cancelling his subscription to Newsweek and encouraging viewers to do the same. Apparently, they have HIRED THE MANIAC who runs daily kos to do a regular column feature!

    WISH WE HAD some Archive Pages of DK filthy vile comments to send to Newsweek’s Editor. Larry do you have some???

    EVERY site I’ve been to tonight has been infested with the viral brains. tonight they’ve hired some who make phony attempts at being reasonable and superficially polite. I’M STICKING TO TREATING THEM AS INVISIBLE/NO REACTION/NO RESPONSE.

    However, a CLEAR THOUGHT occurred to me:
    1. Hillary sweeps WVA
    2. Before next prime time news, all MSM attention shifts to edwards endorsement (phony creep) like WVA never happened!
    3. Then naral group gets on the phone lines, calling with their great news – they’ve endorsed the phony messiah, blah, blah.
    Anyone feel like venting, go to their website.
    4. All this carefully contrived on the heels of Hillary’s 70% win AND, so what else happens tonight? – koolaiders infest every pro-hillary blog, acting all polite and hypocritical.

    WHAT’S THE CONCLUSION; The bo campaign is about nothing else other than PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE. Their primary strategy is to stress, terrorize, depress and demoralize. If their perceived opponent is down they kick harder. If up, they attack en masse to trample down. They have no clue about anything else, nor principles, nor values. I have read that EVIL is nothing more than LIVE spelled backwards – that which is antithetical to life, having no life of its own. That is this anti-christ’s campaign in a nutshell- an attempt to kill all that which is a-live.

    With all else they don’t know, they sure don’t know about karma.

    THANK YOU Larry for confirming my intuition about where this is going in your article tonight. Just keep plugging away as we are – in knowing- the empty suit will ultimately evaporate himself before this is over.

  • usedmeat

    Sweeeet! Kerry and Kennedy probably think Deval Patrick is a swell guy and a great governor. And being a Bog Trotter is icing on the cake ;)

  • dana b

    Whether Obama has ever had sex with a man is absolutely irrelevent. I know Larry Johnson’s argument is that whatever a portion of the press picks up of this rumor makes it indeed newsworthy, but this is ridiculous.

    There’s no policy debate within this issue. Unlike the Rev. Wright fiasco or “bitter-gate”, this could-be scandal raises no issues about how Obama thinks society should be organized, how he values or perceives those different from himself, what US foreign policy should be, or where he would stand on domestic policies. So, Larry, don’t give the haters the cover of respectability.

    I was standing in the supermercado check out line in the Mission District of San Francisco last weekend. There amidst the Spanish-language and English-language tabloids was a front-page Globe “article” about Hillary Clinton and her sultry Latina aide, “who is never far from her side.” “Is Hillary a Lesbian?” I kid you not. This stuff about Hillary has been around for years. Is there any truth to it? I doubt it, but I don’t care. And this from a lesbian who has been sending big checks to Hillary every month or so since before New Hampshire.

    I’d be delighted if another scandal took down the Prince in time for Hillary to win the presidency. But find something meaningful or just give it up.

  • Valerie

    I started out feeling very good today. I got home this evening to find John Edwards AND NARAL endorsed Obama???? I immediately whipped an e-mail to NARAL.

    I am feeling devastated. What the people have done to Hillary Clinton is just sinful! So MANY have turned on her, and she has done SO MUCH in her lifetime for so many of the people who have sold out on her.

    But instead of feeling defeated, I am filling with more and more anger, slowly will become a rage. Whoever are these forces at play, trying to manipulate this election process and take away the ONLY candidate who really can do some good in this country? I don’t know who you are, but I am filled with earnest resolve that they MUST NOT steal this country away from us.

    We simply must do whatever and everything we can to fight back and expose them. And take back what rightfull belongs to the peopl, even though most of them are so apathetic or stupid they don’t deserve it. Yeah, give people McDonalds and TV that will keep them happy.

    It is totally unacceptable to have the likes of that horrible and vile bi-polar Donna Brazille, the buffoon Howard Dean, The coniving Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the elite of the democratic party have their rewards for this kind of treachery. I just about want to vomit thinking about their aloof and all-knowing sneers as things are playing out that have been so carefully orchestrated.

    I want to expose Obama for all the filthy dirty politics he has brough with him. For all the blatant sexism, for the race baiting and in general all his lies!! The man obviously has issues about his self image. He never seems content to stay and complete a well-done job, he must never be happy with his station in life and seems to think there are greener pastures. But most of all, the man is soul-less and is only out for himself and his agenda.

    It has been shown time and again that we reap what we sow, but I think thatit is IMPERATIVE that it all come crumbling down before the convention, and the only one left standing would be Hillary Clinton to clean up all this mess. Not only have to clean up the Bush/Cheney shit but the whole debris the democratic Party created!

    OBAMA and all the powers that be must come down.

The BOmaniacs and newly found “votwers” one could justify as, well, naive and pubescent engagement. But the elders? Those who are supposed to be political savvy?

    Actually my wife, who is a Youtube junkie, found some videos of this Sinclair guy claiming that he had sex and did drug with Obama in the back of limo. I really did not pay any attention to him and i thought that it was the fabulation of a crazy man seeking attention in an election year.

    Are you guys saying that those stories might have some reality behind? Can they get traction?

    Oh the republicans and some 527 groups are going to be all over those stories like white on rice. Goodness, Hillary has to stick around for as long as possible and i hope these stories explodes behind the convention.

  • usedmeat

    The Old Media, the republican party, the Backstabbing Wing of the Democratic party, blogs like Koss(hole) and TPM (Toilet Paper Musings) have been beating on Hillary and Obama still can’t pull it off. Can you imagine where he would be if we had a fair media?

    My great and abiding concern has stopped being for myself,, my candidate [HRC] or my [former] party. I am now deeply concerned about something else: It’s called the United States of America.

    Black Liberation Theology is going to cost Barky a shit load of Hispanic, working class white voters.

    With Hispanics there is a lot tension between them and AA’s. And all they need hear is that Obama belongs to a church that preaches black superiority.

    He can forget about their vote.

    For the white working class vote, its peaked and will head downwards as more dirt comes out on Barky.

    Wright and Farrakhan are bound to really hurt Barky with conservative Jews.

    He can forget about Florida after his remark of willing to meet with Castro with no precons.

  • BJinChicago

    Clinton Fan,you are right on and not alone in your disillusionment. The truth is they like Obama’s money raising skills; the DNC has been bought. It is why they are willing to overlook Rezko and Auchi and Wright and Farakhan and even Odinga in their embrace of Barack Hussein Mohammad Obama.

    Seems Larry Sinclair would really like to tell someone what he knows. Is that too much to ask, that the media give a shit about a possible material witness to a murder? Cause it seems to me like something like that is actually supposed to get attention.

    Thank you for your article, Larry. It made me feel a lot better.

  • dana b

    I am straining to see your point Larry, that this story of Obama’s supposed sexual encounter with another man, has “traction” because of the lawsuit. You point out that a plaintiff can get into a lot of trouble filing false claims.

    But I disagree. It has no traction. The fact that there is a lawsuit filed means nothing. Whenever someone becomes famous, disreputable folks crawl out of the woodwork to claim something from them. There seems no end to groundless lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these suits are either stupid, or put up to it by nefarious operatives who pay patsies to do the dirty work. This is a witch hunt, something more appropriate to the Maury show than your excellent blog.

    If you report on this story at all, it should be to show its flimsiness, until it is proven otherwise.

  • pm317

    Thank you mimi for that link. I agree with what he said about his race speech. Also about his view of why latte liberals were going for him (he quotes Sullivan) — paraphrasing, these liberals in their own condescending way are thinking “ok, we can vote for him, he is not a Sharpton, because that would be too black;” you underestimate him because of your own prejudices and then feel guilty and overcompensate. Anyway that may explain some of it. The irony is that people supporting him are responding to his race primarily and majority of the people hesitating to support him are those that are looking at him without considering his race but his accomplishments and record and conduct of his campaign.

    Well, if you’re so damned scared, back out the door quietly, and don’t let it hit you. Stop by the Walgreen’s, why don’t you, and pick up some disposable razors–you can use them to shave your feet while you’re sitting around under that bridge you call home.

    We are INFORMED and THINKING. Because we are, we can’t bear the idea of an uninformed, vague, corrupt, unprepared, dunce with a surface patina and no substance being put forward as the candidate to be CRUSHED in the general election.

    I wager you don’t know a Kurd from a Turkomen, never mind a shi’a from a sunni, so you might want to pack up your high horse and ride on out of here. Pick up a Quran on your way, and do some reading. I’ll bet you know those names, but haven’t a clue as to their differences, either.

  • BJinChicago

    Anne,

    Wake up, honey, you obviously need to do some more reading. Louis Farakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, is full of hate. Check this out:

    “They call them terrorists, I call them freedom fighters.”
    – Louis Farrakhan, on Hezbollah, April 22, 1996

    “The Jews have been so bad at politics they lost half their population in the Holocaust. They thought they could trust in Hitler, and they helped him get the Third Reich on the road.”
    –Saviours’ Day speech, Chicago, February 1998

    “White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.”
    –Philadelphia Inquirer, March 2000

    “Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name.”
    – Louis Farrakhan, 1984

    “The Jews don’t like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that’s a good name. Hitler was a very great man.”

    “Murder and lying comes easy for white people.”

    “Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.”

    “The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.”
    – Louis Farrakhan, City College audience in New York

  • Jean

    Larry, apparently the Obama campaign has acknowledged Sinclair’s allegations. Sinclair was interviewed on TV in Puerto Rico and the Obama campaign sent a representative the following day to rebut Sinclair. It is my understanding the representative did not deny Sinclair’s allegations and only tried to dismiss Sinclair as working for the Clinton campaign. Here are the links to the attorney who challenged Sinclair on the same TV show on April 10:

    Larry, how do you think the NRA is going to enjoy bashing Obama since he sat on the joyce Fondation for years and this is what the NRA thinks of the Joyce Foundation:

    Gun rights groups including the National Rifle Association call the Joyce Foundation an activist foundation whose “shadowy web of huge donations” leads “straight to puppet strings that control the agenda of gun ban groups”.

  • Northwest rain

    What is funny is that good looking woman who is always around Hillary happens to be a Secret Service Agent. I saw her in Seattle — she arrived with Hillary and was outside doing a security check. She was identified to me as a SS agent — “that’s Senator Clinton’s female agent assigned to her”, said one of the individuals who was involved with security at the Seattle Rally back in February.

    I saw her photo on that supermarket Tabloid — and thought that Axlerod was really busy countering the rumors about his brat and gay sex.

    So yes — Clinton is followed around by a very good looking woman. Who is all business — you would not want to try any nasty Obamabot like business around her!!

    Gay bashing, hate crimes against gays are still marginally acceptable in this nation, if that POS is going to encourage this division as a cynical part of his campaign, damn straight he should be called on any homosexual behavior.

    In addition, when I hear guys like Farrakhan and Qaddafi, and the rest of the kooky crews go on about Jews, I worry. It’s one thing when he does it from New York, another when he’s got big oil, and most of the middle east, Auchi and Africa behind him, financially. And god knows who else.

  • baldheadeddork

    A significant portion of the Democratic establishment reject Hillary Clinton.

    So have a significant number of Democratic voters. More than have voted for Clinton. (If you insist on counting Michigan and Florida, you should also have the intellectual honesty to count the caucus states, too. If you do, Clinton is not leading in the popular vote.)

    Barack’s loss in West Virginia is unprecedented in a presidential primary. A 47 point spread? Are you kidding me. That’s not even close.

    It would be nice if you corrected your post, but since you haven’t I’ll repeat what others have noted already. It was 41% and it was not unprecedented – Mrs. Clinton has been on the wrong side of even bigger losses no less than five times this year.

    Hillary will decisively win in Kentucky and will pull close in Oregon. She will win in Puerto Rico. South Dakota and Montana do not matter. They’ll vote Republican in November regardless.

    You really think West Virginia will vote for Hillary Clinton over a Scots-Irish war hero? And didn’t you guys make the same call about Clinton closing North Carolina?

    If God did die, can someone pass around the list of who He left in charge of deciding which states do and do not matter? Does Indiana matter? Dems have won this state in presidential elections just four times in the last 100 years, and the last time was 44 years ago. Or Oklahoma. Does winning that big matter? They’ve voted for a Dem in a presidential race just once since Harry Truman left Washington.

    If Super Delegates cast ballots based on the percentage of votes each candidate won in the states that have had primary votes than Hillary has garnered the majority. How about if Super Delegates votes according to who has the best chance of beating John Mccain? Well, Hillary wins that one as well.

    Wait – so if all of the super delegates based their decision only on the popular vote totals only from primary states, then Clinton would have the majority? Is this Invent Your Own Metric week?

    How about who is more electable vs. McCain? Polling has been pretty consistent – they’re even. Each has strengths. Clinton has a better chance of beating McCain based on the map Dems used in 2000 and 2004. Obama has nearly all of the big Dem states locked up and he puts McCain on the offense in a lot of states that have been safe for Republicans for a long time. Both can beat McCain and will by large margins, unless the loser of this primary carries their spite through the convention and beyond.

    Which are you interested in?

    (A bunch of stuff about Obama’s ex-reverend, another reverend of a church he never belonged to, a domestic terrorist who committed his crimes when Obama was in elementary school, and “I’m not saying it but its out there” that Obama is gay because a third-rate supermarket tabloid talked to someone who said it happened.)

    This is the best part. You want to talk about Jeremiah Wright? Do you have any idea just how much crap hasn’t been flung at Hillary Clinton? I’ll see your crazy ex-minister and raise you two brothers who took six-figure payments from people trying to get pardons from your husband when he was president. And do you really want to get into what the tabloids have said about Bill Clinton’s sex life since Monica? Or the old stories about Hillary being gay?

    If you think none of that (and more) will be brought up if Hillary gets the nomination, you are clinically delusional. There are dozens of people who pay their mortgage by digging up and inventing slime to hurl at Bill and Hillary Clinton. If you believe that she’s seen everything they can throw at her, you are out of your cotton picking mind.

    The numbers don’t add up 67 + 26 =93%

    Jean,

    I clicked on the first link you provided. It does not support your claims in the least. In fact, it contradicts them. I speak Spanish (but listen better!), so I listened hard to the muppet-faced interviewer (hillarious costume) and the guy in the panama hat. (You gotta love Spanish -language t.v. — some programs are so trashy but so entertaining!) They provided English translation, too, so anyone who wants to give it a five-minute listen can do so too.

    Larry Sinclair had gone on the show and claimed that Obama and he had sex and did cocaine in the back of a limo. This is part of his lawsuit in Minnesota District Court.

    Larry Sinclair took two polygraph tests and failed them in every aspect. There is nothing to substantiate his claims about Obama and he doing drugs or sex, at least as provided by the video links you gave.

  • Ai1een

    Yes exactly – every time she scores a win they will not acknowledge it in any way. I expect it from Obama – he knocked everyone out so he could run unopposed for the State Senate, he stole other senator’s legislation and has claimed and portrayed it as HIS despite other senator’s being angry that Emil Jones, Jr. told them they had to turn it over to him, his “community organizer” work was a complete sham and fraud – he used his state senate job to write people senate letter of approval to the next day receive campaign money from them, he helped Rezko get funds to build his and manage his slums and left his own AA constituents in the cold in the middle of the winter in Chicago, 11 of the Rezko buildings were closed down for either poor maintenance or non-payment during the same week that Obama’s palm was being greased with campaign funds by whom…Tony Rezko – YEAH I EXPECT DIRTY, SLEAZY TREATMENT FROM BARACK OBAMA – but to see John Edwards do this on the day after such a big win – no matter his “NICE’ words about Hillary- does he think we’re idiots – does he think we’ll forget – the context of the timing of this endorsement was specifically charted to cut and wound. What a total fraudulent liar. He stood there at one of the debates and told Obama that NOBODY HAD TAKEN MORE LOBBYIST MONEY THAN BARACK OBAMA – AND NOBODY HAS PAID THE LEVEL OF “PAY-OFF” MONEY TO THE SUPER-DELEGATES THAN BARACK OBAMA. Edwards said he stood for the “little” guy and wanted healthcare for everyone and yet endorses a candidate whose plan leaves out 15,000,000 – a plan that Edwards despised…YEAH – SWELL GUY.

    It’s not the same as some half assed lil wannabe trying to troll with implied threats, his lil balls choking his throat he’s so scared, unaware of the game he’s trying to play.

    (But I can appreciate the effort, you try so hard, seeing IS believing)

    You know, prove it!

    And if it’s a lie, you can’t, no matter how much someone tries to smear.

  • Ai1een

    The major point that most of you Obamanoids fail to mention is the fact that OBAMA ENDORSED WRIGHT. He endorsed him financially by supporting him for 20 years and giving almost all of his pitiful percentage of charity money to Wright and his black separatist church. He endorsed him publicly by giving speeches (which are on youtube) which glorify him as “…not only a great leader for Chicago but for the entire country”, and 5 months ago Obama personally placed Wright on his Presidental Election Campaign. Financially, Publicly and Politically…THAT’S QUITE AN ENDORSEMENT by Obama – and therein lies the crux.

  • bamaoil

    Obama has lied, and cheated, perhaps fixed elections, the caucuses were rigged, pushed, and in no way reflect the true picture.

    Super delegates can change, and FL and MI Do count, despite dean’s fevered attempts to pretend, support has been purchased, and blackmailed.

    Every democrat I have seen on the news endorsing Obama is lying.

    Why?

    Choking on the talking points would suggest he really doesn’t have support, and that’s the point, he has no support at all, he is a DOG of a candidate, and they know it.

    And now, if the down ticket has to disown him to get elected, whether it’s for democratic senator or dog catcher, well, they have big problems.

    Honestly, are they actually starting to believe the shit they spin, win at any cost?

    fatal.

    And think of that crew coming into office, trying to run a war, where people , enemies will LIE to you deliberately, fuck up your numbers, your head, and you have to discern reality, and no one trusts you because you stole the election, and while doing it , you pissed off EVERYONE, and everybody knows you can’t do the job, and you can’t…..

I have also read a press conferences is being planned by Sinclair and his attorney for the end of the month and Manning may appear at the conference. Like it or not this is becoming a news story and the MSM will be forced to cover it eventually.

  • bamaoil

    Is he a Chicagoan?

    I wonder, too, about Stuart Levine, also, apparently bi-sexual, and a heavy drug user.

    He’s connected to Rezko, was a star witness at the trial.

    I belive the FBI mole “john thomas” was also a heavy drug user, too, is that characteristic of the IL combine, homosexuality, and drug use?

    Really interesting…

    Exactly – My father will be 90 years old in June. He fought in WWII, Korean War and even the Vietnam War – and his buddies (most of whom are deceased now) were of all races believe it or not and he raised his 4 children with a respect for all of mankind. But he also raised us to be able to see through SCAM artists and CHARLETANS. He admires Colin Powell, but despises Obama because of the fraud that he is and the truth that never gets printed. My father has been a lifelong dyed in the wool Democrat. He doesn’t have much left in his life but to watch his standard lineup of shows which used to be Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, etc. Because of their treatment of Hillary, for the last 2 weeks he won’t turn on the TV; he sits at home with the TV off in silence. He can’t read any more because of his eyes and a few weeks ago he asked me to stop reading the paper to him…Today when I told him of Edwards endorsement – he shook his head and just sat there in his chair for about 20 minutes…then he said to me, “You know, I guess it’s time for me to die now – I don’t understand the world anymore.” He is 90 and on his kitchen table it took him almost 2 hours to handprint out to Howard Dean that he was removing his membership from the Democratic Party and in honor of the endorsement of John Edwards, he announced that he would be voting for JOHN McCAIN.

    They cannot box this up too much longer. I do not know if any of the allegations are true but Obama will have to address this sooner or later.

  • CognitiveDissonance

    I saw somewhere that a lot of people are going to do it the first week in June if it looks like BO will be the nominee. When we do it, we need to all send our cards to the DNC just to rub it in their noses. I am really fed up with these clowns.

    Sinclair is not from Chicago. Sinclair claims Donald Young called him on different phone numbers that only the Obama campaign knew about. All of this information is on Sinclair’s blog.

    At long last someone is as curious as I am. Why no girlfriends? No prom date? And what about Columbia? There are some foxes in NYC. And with Barnard College across the street. Seems off kilter especially him being such a historic candidate.

    Over at http://www.savagepolitics.com they covered the Sinclair allegations after it broke in PR. Search under Obama’s Dubious Past Goes Mainstream.”

    Anyway here is an interesting post from that blog:

    “Frankly, I decided against voting for Obama a fair while back, long before hearing about Larry Sinclair and his allegations. Obama didn’t make a splash in the state legislature, and his record as a US senator has been underwhelming at best. But… I used to be co-owner and chef of a Chicago-area restaurant frequented by gays (closed in 2003), and during that time I heard from a number of different gay male sources that Obama was quite much on the down-low. This has been an open “secret” in certain sections of gay Chicagoland for quite some time, apparently. I’m sure that, with a bit of stirring, the pot would boil over,…”

    South Dakota and Montana do not matter. They’ll vote Republican in November regardless.

    Looks like someone’s been sipping the stupid juice. Montana elected a senator who said in a debate, “I don’t want to reform the Patriot Act, I want to repeal it”. (Jon Tester 2006) We also have a very popular Democratic governor.

    Our republican party is in total disarray. They have had macacca moments galore and televised hissy fits as well. Montana is ripe to turn blue, no thanks to you.

    Hillary needs every stinkin’ delegate she can get. So don’t piss off the little states that “don’t matter”.

    Oh, “campaigned” – what impressed you? Flipping the bird to Hillary, saying “when she’s down, her claws come out, or might it be when his wife says, “If you can’t handle your own house, you sure don’t need to be in the White House”? Could it be his massive bribing of the Super Delegates or could it be when he gave a 5000 word speech and chastised US for being racist when it was HIS support of a profanity, hate spewing racist that had made it neccessary to give the speech to begin with. Could it have been in the debates when he told America that he didn’t know “that individual” when the London Times reported that an FBI mole documented Obama and Governor B. going in and out of Rezko’s home for months – and Obama has been entrenched with REZKO since 1995. Which lie exactly did you prefer out of the hundreds that he tells?

Why didn’t Edwards just stand up there and say to them, “I don’t care that just hours ago you stood in lines to vote for Hillary – I’m doing my best to say SCREW YOUR VOTE AND SCREW YOUR VOICE – I’M SAYING SCREW YOU WEST VIRGINIA” His actions are saying JUST that.

    Hi Carrie! Here are the facts on the ‘landslides’ you mentioned on another thread. Just want to get the facts out there.

    Idaho – caucus (21K votes cast)
    Washington – caucus (vote totals not on CNN, have they even been released?)
    Colorado – caucus(119K votes cast)
    Minnesota – caucus (211K votes cast)
    Hawaii – caucus (37K votes cast)
    Alaska – caucus (total votes – 406!!)

    Georgia — FINALLY an election which he did win big. Thank God for small favors. Its a problem in the general considering that over 50% of the primary vote was African American (and Georgia is Republican red), but at least it was a real vote with over 1 million ballots cast. When you compare GA to the tiny vote totals in your caucus ‘landslides’ you see the problem don’t you?

    In the 5 caucus contests you mention where vote totals are available BO got a TOTAL of 147K votes more than HRC; HRC got 148K votes more than BO yesterday in one primary. She wiped out his vote advantage from 5 caucuses in one primary. Caucuses favor the candidate with the most zealous support – advantage BO. Primaries favor the candidate with the widest base of support – advantage HRC.

    Come the convention HRC will have the lead in votes and BO the lead in delegates, but neither will have the 2209 needed to nominate. The goal is to beat McCain — the general election is not a caucus, it is not proportional representation – it is WINNER TAKE ALL.

    Jean,

    I did you better. I checked the second video. Then the third. Then the fourth. I have just provided you and others with a public service, because it is pretty obvious that you have not viewed these videos yourself.

    The lawyer that I’m supposed to ‘see’ on video #2 is not there. Only his voice is there from a phone call, and nearly all of that second video is in Spanish. Jean, do you even understand Spanish? I do, and there was nothing incriminating on that tape.

    The Obama campaign, in an attempt to put this slander to rest, paid for Sinclair to take a polygraph. He failed it. He wants to claim he passed it, but that’s just his saying so.

    If you had viewed this video, any of the four videos you posted here and mischaracterized, you probably would never have gone through with posting them. Frankly, they make you look foolish.

    There is nothing in any of the videos to link Senator Obama to using drugs or having sex with this man, Larry Sinclair. There are no witnesses. There are no documents, no film, no polygraph tests that show Sinclair to be telling the truth. Sinclair claims many things, but anyone could make this stuff up out of thin air.

    Without substantiating evidence, this tissue of invective and inuendo needs to stop. NOW.

    Jean, Larry, I am a staunch Clinton supporter. We don’t need to stoop to this to point out the inadequacy of Senator Obama. Please, I’m imploring you, Larry Johnson, GET THIS FILTH OFF YOUR BLOG.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Mr. Johnson, I am always amused, but not surprised, when the machine is simply pointed out and is not taken on face value for what it is.

    It has to be the messenger and not the message.

    Thanks.

  • dana b

    Larry,

    I took considerable time watching all four videos that Jean posted on this issue. I have replied to her at length, should you care to take a short-cut and spare yourself the waste of time looking at them.

    In any case, you need to drop this aspect of going after Obama’s sex life and drug use. Stick to the facts of his lack of experience in foreign affairs and lack of results while a legislator. Those should be enough to undermine his candidacy. We need not resort to this spurious stuff from an apparent sociopath, Larry Sinclair.

  • http://commonsensequotient.typepad.com Laura

    So right. Caucuses are part of the landscape, but give me a break: voters in caucuses represent at best 1/10 of a state’s eligible voters. And in the experience with my caucus, local Dem leaders were overwhelmed by Obama’s folks who were allowed to caucus even if they were not registered to vote and even if they could not prove their age.

    So, yeah; caucuses count, but the numbers are so far below registered voter participation as to be almost meaningless, compared with true democratic primaries.

  • http://commonsensequotient.typepad.com Laura

    You know you’re wrong. Why? Because she is winning the states that helped rebuild the Democratic Party in 1992 and carried it forward in 1996.

    She also relates to average people, whether you like it or not. Barack doesn’t “relate” to anybody except urban yuppies, young, AAs (and then only because he’s AA).

    And here’s something else: Older AA women see through his shinola. Many, many of them support Hillary Clinton. They’ve been around the block a few times and know when somebody’s spitting on their shoes and telling them it’s raining!

    Obama apologizes for ‘sweetie’ comment

    Barack Obama has personally apologized to a Michigan television reporter for referring to her as “sweetie” as she tried to ask a question.

    The comment came earlier Wednesday when WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar asked Obama at a campaign stop, “How are you going to help the American auto workers?”

    Obama told Agar to “hold on, sweetie,” and said he would address that issue with her later. Agar said she never got an answer to her question.

    Carrie — the comedian.

    See Obama won the really big states –

    Like California — oops — Hillary won CA.

    NJ — yep Obama won NY — Oops — Hillary again

    NY — Nope — Hillary again

    Florida & Michigan — Obama won — nope Hillary

    Ohio — Texas, Pennsylvania, Mass.

    There is a pattern emerging. Hillary wins the BIG primary states and the con man, crook Obama wins Republican states using caucus thieves.

    The big states the really BIG
    states were won by Hillary — the must win — with lots of real democratic votes — the OLD democratic party voters — Hillary won.

    Are we laughing at this new comedian???

    That’s exactly what we’ll do if he is the nominee. Life long dems are walking and I’m supporting ANY move to march on the convention or a walk out in defense of Hillary and in protest against the way this SHAM of a so called election was run from the MSM slamming of Hillary and their sexist coverage to the “leaders” of this party endorsing a high jacking. Brazile in particular has been scathing in her email responses to Hillary supporters. She planned part of this going all the back to 2004.

    I believe one response from Brazile was that Hillary supporters are rabid and unAmerican. Check out Taylor Marsh for the full response she gave a young woman who wrote her a polite, kind and well thought out email recently. She ought to be fired immediately. Others are reporting similar responses.

    But nobody says a word. Something has been rotten from day one about this whole process and I’ve seen MANY elections. The cheating at caucuses going totally ignored. Bribing and out right lies Obama has used against Hillary.

    ALL of it and we all saw it. What’s hilarious is that Obama and the DNC much really believe we will roll over for their “party” this time in November. They are in for a rude awakening.

    Lets put things into their warped perspective.

    Now that Edwards has endorsed Obama, he is on the same side of the political spectrum as Chris Matthews. Mr. Matthews interviewed Mr and Mrs. Edwards on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill in the fall. During that interview, Matthews during to John Edwards and asked him if his wife was a “ball buster”. You could see that John was very angry and the whole tone of the interview changed after that. Well, now John Edwards has gotten a hold of Senator Obama’s little online donar listing so that he can raise monies for his work on poverty and he is allowing another woman to be railroaded, vilified, and disparaged not for any bad behavior, or lack of experience, but because she is a woman. Simple as that.

    I find is very interesting how this whole primary season has made for very strange bedfellows.

    Carter–hates Clintons. Got screwed by Ted Kennedy
    Ted Kennedy-screwed Carter. Down 756 delegate votes and pressed for nomination in 1980 at the convention. We wind up with 8 years of Ronald Reagan. So much for unity. Also signed on with Bush over “No Child Left Behind”. How is that working out?
    John Kerry-asks for and gets 1million dollars from DNC to derail Howard Dean out of Iowa. Can’t defend his own war record and refused to fight the election results in Ohio; angering John Edwards.
    John Edwards-VP running mate who cannot carry his own state for Kerry nor the blue-collar workers he promises. Does a complete 180 from his Senate record.
    Donna Brazile-told Gore it would be in his best interest to distance himself from Clinton in 2000. Doesn’t ask Clinton to stump for him in Arkansas or Tennessee. Gore loses his home state and Clinton’s. Had he won both, Florida would not have mattered.
    Tom Daschle-got into bed with Bush right after his election. Got his ass handed to him by the Ken-doll John Thume. Couldn’t hold onto his own Senate seat. Had to go work with his wife at a very high-powered lobbying firm here in D.C.
    George McGovern-well, what can one say. Nobody has ever lost by a larger amount than dear old George. Apparently he still can’t see the writing on the wall or what the purpose of the SD’s are in a matchup like this.
    Howard Dean-gets screwed by John Kerry and promises a 50-state strategy as DNC chairman. Has now whittled it down to 48.

    My point is, that none of these people are frankly worth a damn in the political sphere. They couldn’t lead themselves to victory, or anyone else for that matter, with a map and a flashlight. In the end they have fucked up but they would rather hate the Clinton’s than each other. Like some 2-headed beast from ancient mythology, it will be they, not Clinton, who are destroyed!

  • http://lkcampbell.blogspot.com Lucinda

    Don’t pull out that “hippie” stuff from the 1960s. I lived that era. You only fantasize about it. We had two terms of Richard Nixon (1968 & 1972) and ’72 was a true landslide victory, because the radical left (which included Bob Dylan) couldn’t get the votes of the average, middle American. IMO, the Democratic party has never recovered from that defeat, except for “one, brief, shining moment” during the 1990s. And who was that? Oh, yes, it was Bill Clinton who engineered that comeback.
    I stayed home in 2004, because I couldn’t stand John Kerry and couldn’t stomach voting for Bush. I imagine a lot of Dems felt this way and that’s why Bush got his second term.
    Oh, yeah, I see a change a-coming. President John McCain taking the oath of office in January, 2009.

  • Catime

    There’s plenty of arguments around the Web on the truth of Larry Sinclair’s claims. Not too many believe him, since he has a rather unsavory past.

    But, the story starts getting some legs when Rev. Manning of ATLAH Ministries in Harlem comes out and unequivocally states that Obama and Wright have had a 20-year affair.

    Now, if untrue, that’s clearly slander.

    Pastor Manning has shown quite a talent for attacking Obama in the past (Obama is a “Mack Daddy” and a “long-legged pimp”), without running the risk of a lawsuit. Makes me wonder why a 25-year pastor of a ministry would do something like that, unless he has the proof he claims he does?

  • Surge07

    What amazes me about Hillary’s supporters is their refusal to acknowledge any of her flaws. They treat anyone who is not with Hillary as a traitor to the (Clinton) Democratic Party.

    There are a lot of voters, Democrats, independents and Republicans, who now reject the idea of political dynasties. After George Bush it will be a long time before there is a return to family succession to the White House.

    What amazes me about naive Obama supporters is that they think Obama can win without the blue states.

    It’s state by state and Obama will not win unless Hillary is on the ticket. Obama now needs Hillary to win and if he were as smart as folks say he is, he would make sure she’s on the ticket.

    I like Edwards, but he lost with Kerry and I don’t think we should go there again.

    To vote for OBAMA is illogical as he is not fit for ELECTIVE OFFICE….
    To support the Democratic Party in his nomination is to support CRIMINAL ELECTIONEERING AND FRAUD….IT IS CONTRARY TO DEMOCRACY…
    To vote for OBAMA is to vote for FASCISM….
    To Vote For OBAMA is to condone RACISM and SEXISM…

    Why don’t you send this email to Howard Dean?

    What we learned is when you insist on nominating a candidate who is so out of touch with voters that the only way he can connect is to pander (see cammo and wind surfing) which ultimately make him look ridiculous and transparent and take the discussion off target from issues, you LOSE …

    That is what we learned.

    But apparently some people need to relearn it every four years.

    Already, we see the return of the “empty symbol” flag pin. If you’re not willing to stand on your “principles,” why articulate them to the media and pose as someone so superior to the rest of the crowd? Now he merely looks callow and weak.

    He is not electable. Not because of his skin color — that after all is what got him his overwhelming victory in North Carolina and South Carolina — but because he is an inexperienced and empty candidate with no platform other than he was against the Iraq war (which he beats into the ground) but has supported with every vote he has made since joining the Senate.

    His economic policies are shakey and he is not an advocate of universal health care. His supporters and bundlers are the people who brought us the subprime melt down and are looking for forgiveness in his administration. He has a casual attitude toward terrorism and four years of him would be a weakening of America’s space program.

    So. Yes. We have learned something. We have learned that the Democratic party does not learn anything without an overwhelming defeat a la George McGovern. And we are prepared to do everything we can to ensure that they get the message. Loud and clear.

    What experience does he have on the National level? 2 full years in the Senate and 1 as a candidate?

    It’s you Obama supporters who have played the ‘gloss over game.’ The whole Obama campaign strategy has been about emphasizing Hillary’s flaws as a way of bolstering and propping up Obama. And you’ve had the full support of the MSM in this tactic.

    Without the illusion of an opposition the RW radicals could not have hijacked the party.

    Without the illusion of an opposition, the K-street trough would dry up. So would the campaign contributions.

    I am voting McCain. Bring on the Permanent Majority Party. The Democratic Party is a scam.

    In time conflicting interests in The Permanent Majority Party will create division and a new second party will emerge. With no money it will be easier to challenge.

    They can outlaw opposition parties, but what will they do for an enemy? They would have to create a new fake opposition party which would put us back to where we are now.

    Obama’s principled position was to vote FOR John G. Roberts Jr. He supported his confirmation. Those are Obama’s beliefs.

    ——————————————————————————–

    You were noticeably absent yesterday from your husband’s endorsement spectacle. I commend you for that. I heard that you would have endorsed Hillary Clinton. I felt sick as I watched John become just another self-indulgent, self-important politician. Throughout the campaign, he seemed to agree with all that Hillary wants for this country, and the wind blew the other way, so John went along because he hopes to get something out of it, obviously. What a major disappointment for all of us who believed he was genuine. I was so bereft of hope as I watched him onstage with Obama soaking up the applause that I couldn’t listen to his speech. I can tell you that I would never again vote for John in any capacity. Two things happened to me this morning. As I was driving to work, the car in front of me was sporting a bumper sticker that read, “Politicians are like diapers: they all need to be changed for the same reason.” Then as I was walking up the sidewalk, I found a complete set of rosary beads. There IS hope, but John Edwards will never be a part of it. You seem like a wonderful woman. I hope you’re well.

SOB says he’s a Christian, but he used to be a Muslim, or at the least the son of a Muslim. Isn’t that a reason for other Muslims to want to kill him? Why is FK supporting him, if that’s the case?

  • http://deleted AnninCA

    The number of states won was such a ridiculous bragging point of Obama’s that I still find it funny. He counts Alaska with all 400 votes as equal to winning NY?

    Adding in MI and FL votes, she is now ahead in the popular vote and will increase that lead substantially next Tuesday with KY.

    His entire electability argument rests on the assumption that he will get her voters and be fine in the big states she won. Yet exit poll after exit poll disputes that idea.

    Yes, he is ahead in delegates. However, the delegate distribution is crazy. Look at 18 delegates for Idaho for 20,000 votes versus NH 22 for multiple times that number of votes.

    It’s ridiculous to assert that they aren’t in a nead dead heat. To proclaim he will have won by June 3 in advance of actually winning is just psychological warfare with her supporters.

    Money raised? Ask Mitch Romney just how money can’t buy votes. Heck, ask Obama. He outspent her in PA 3 to 1 and still lost.

    If I remember correctly, several of those Dems did poorly by trying to separate themselves from Bill Clinton.

    As Bill Maher put it, ‘I f*** my wife’ and ‘God is my invisible friend’ campaign strategies. We saw more long, sloppy kisses, with religiously tinged stump speeches than I care to remember, and both Dems and Reps were on that campaign bus.

    They all stepped away from the Clinton centrist path, and Dubya went so far too the right, several Republicans are speaking out against it and his Admin. Haven’t you noticed them going through people quite a lot? And then books that reveal the ethical and legal battles they waged with the Admin in the name of the country?

    You can try and blame the Clintons, like I’m sure Obama will do when he loses. But the fact of the matter, if Gore would have loosened up, while having Clinton help on the trail at at the ballot box, with his 65% approval rating. Gore probably could have inspired a few hundred more people in each state.

    Obama won’t win by pulling the country to the far left, that are where higher taxes reside for everyone. The middle class is hurting too much to risk an unproven leader who comes from a state with an 11% local tax rate. And no inspired legislation to copy like CA exports regularly.

    Obama can’t win on Rep plans like gutting/privatizing Social Security, because then McCain can out flank him and run the centrist, Maverick brand he has cultivated for years.

    Obama is dead in the water unless the fix is in, because in my opinion, that will be the only way he gets into the White House.

    Please, I didn’t vote for Dubya, I did my research and knew that he would be starting a war with Iraq.

    Just like I did my research with Obama and think thanks to Zbig in his background, they want to continue to antagonize Russia with Dubya’s obsolete missle shields and worse. Strange enough, it seem like a lot of those ignornant Dubya voters like and will be voting for Obama….ugh!

    Personally, I don’t believe anything Obama says on any of his stances. He doesn’t explain anything. There are no details that have any value except when he is pointing the finger at someone. His policies are stolen, his fake MLK tone is like finger nails on a chalk board to me. I want to be able to actually listen to my President and be in the same room. Dubya was hard to watch because of the snickers while he lied, etc. Obama has that same disrespectful trait with his flipping the bird and stealing words from great men’s mouth, while snickering at the stupid masses eating it up.

    No thanks….at least with Dubya you knew what he was going to do, support the family business. This empty suit has lied his entire career and rarely does what he says, except supporting people like Rezko, etc.

    We have that type in the White House, and sorry but I didn’t have to learn from the past eight years, because I knew what would happen. I tried to convince people on the net even then.

    The fact of the matter is YOU haven’t learned anything from the past eight years if you want to put ANOTHER unproven leader in the White House.

    Why? I e-mailed the DNC and told Dean precisely why I’m not an Independent.

    I couldn’t care less about impressing him further or any of them, really.

    I knew Wright was going to sink in and cause a massive movement away from Obama. WVA can’t be dismissed unless you’re just whistling in the dark. The voters spoke.

    They can put on show after show, but he can’t buy votes.

    They can tell themselves all they want that they are “right” and Clinton’s supporters are “wrong,” and it won’t matter one bit in the Fall election.

    The Democratic Party is counting on McCain being unappealling. They are right if we’re talking about left-leaning Dems. They are stupid if we’re talking about moderates and conservative Dems.

    So the hijacked party, led by gloating Washington insiders, best enjoy their brief few months of the illusion of power, because I don’t think Obama will pull in the traditional Democrats. I don’t think the INdependents who were REpublican-leaning will buy his message. I don’t think the red states are going to turn blue magically. And I think the Democratic party is underestimating John McCain, just as the Republicans did.

    McCain is centrist on a lot of issues that matter to people, and he’s a lot more saleable than Obama is on foreign affairs. Obama’s attitudes frankly frighten a lot of people because he’s so naive and untutored. McCain is going to be the candidate for the voters who want experience. And McCain is also going to be the candidate on the economy.

    Obama will appeal to those who wish to symbolically heal the nation’s race wound. *blink*

    I can’t imagine that sustaining many voters.

    How is this working with Donna? I found this pice from Accuracy in Media:

    Donna Brazile has helped organize a gay/lesbian/transgender march on Washington scheduled for next April. U.S. News and World Report noted that the gay rights community was “oddly silent” over the fact that Brazile, one of their own, had been named Gore’s new campaign manager. “It’s just not news,” one activist said. Gore, in moving his campaign headquarters to the Bible Belt obviously was not eager to have Donna Brazile’s sexual orientation and her mudslinging record trumpeted in the media. The establishment media obliged him, largely ignoring the sexual orientation and low-keying her smear of George Bush.

    one one thousand..Long enough …”wouldn’t be prudent”

    \Fosbach: you DO realize that BO will get people killed, if he is elected? This is always what happens when indifference is given power.

    The “get in-line or else ” meme is BS.

    And to think that a person who believes themselves to be Democrat would consider the principled, informed opinions and beliefs of others as “sour grapes”.

    What a ship of fools.

    Not to mention border and a couple of Southern States will will be put into play in the fall only if she is the nominee.

    He’s pretty conservative but not enough to suit the taste of many people in the GOP. If he can convince the voting population that he is the John McCain of 2000 then he is going to be tough to beat.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Ever try the “IT geek blend”, mimi?

    Why is it BO supporters run this crap as a valid point?

    What is in a name? And my favorite “You want Bill running loose in the White House”?

    I can’t recall if there have been two presidents to be residing at motel 1600 in the history of the country.

    So what is in a name?

    There are a lot of voters, Democrats, independents and Republicans, who now reject the idea of political dynasties.

    Surge07 You seriously need to read, review American history. “who now reject.”

    I think Obama would be easily manipulated by Reed and Pelosi. And we all know how popular they are.

    And said something like “The voters in West Virginia have spoken. I accept their decision and will work hard to win their support.” Instead he pulls Edwards from his sleeve and winds up looking weak imo.

    BTW if Edwards had any doubts as to why he’s sitting home instead of campaigning yesterday evening laid them to rest. Never, ever, ever endorse a candidate that just lost by 41 points. At least wait until he wins one or comes very close.

  • http://deleted AnninCA

    He has disavowed his own memoir. LOL*

    Wright was his mentor.

    End of story.

    Personally, I think Obama is simply opportunistic. He used Wright and then couldn’t get out of the corner he painted himself into.

    Whatever….

    But Wright wounded him beyond repair.

    He could even win, but he has no will of the people behind him.

    That was always Hillary’s message about her experience. You either have the will of the people or you can’t do much.

  • http://winthemarket.com Daryl

    Right. By the end of the South Carolina ,Hillary had cemented the blue collar vote. While the media focused on “Obama beating Hillary”, the real story from SC was Edwards abysmal third place finish next door to his home state.

    MI may have allowed him to fight on for another day (particularly since the state was tailor made for the Edwards message) but taking his name off the ballot ranks as one of the strangest moves in primary history. Never could figure that one out.

    Edwards can’t give Obama something he himself never really had.

    Democrats NOW need to move as far to the LEFT as possible

  • Deep Truths

    Not only is there homosexuality involved, but MURDER of three gay men since December 2007. One gay choir director had spent 20 years at Trinity, shot to death on Christmas day. His friend also of twenty, shot dead, and an acquaintence who was not a member of Trinity shot dead also.

    Before he was MURDERED, the choir director had phoned Larry Sinclair. Duh!

    Its not too big of a stretch to think that Reverend Wright was wigged out about his choir director being MURDERED, so to soothed over sore spot, a $10 million dollar loan was given to the ‘now retired’ reverend.
    I don’t know too many men of the cloth who, one are worth $10 million, nor any church able to lend such money. Money laundering no doubt.

    Obama’s down low persona does share light on why so many in the media – (Jonathan at Newsweek practically drools, the older black guy at the Washington Post, Keith Oberman worshipped the Precious, and I would say Chris Matthews but Chris is just bi-polar not bisexual) the effeminate news media wants the big O period, forget about treason. Ethics be damned.
    They want they want their Chocolate Man.

    Either Obama is God, or he’s a megalomanic. I’m betting on the megalomania. How else to account for the chutzpah is trying to get the Presidency with all this baggage. He has a railroad car full of chutzpah.

    Even if he’s nominated, he will not be elected, so why go there, Barack Hussein Obama. Why go there?

    When it comes to sexual acts, and such, narcissists like to see themselves on film.

    I wonder if there is a porno tape out there of Bama, and a man, ala Paris Hilton…

    Speaking of Marion Berry (crack addicts on film), if the IL combine is being taped, and HAS BEEN taped for quite a while, well, I wonder what they have on Obama?

    And cut the crap, you’re defending a pig, here, with Obama, let’s be clear.

    Everyone knows it.

  • Deep Truths

    Aren’t Obama-nuts the least bit interested in anything that’s come down are will come down. You don’t refute anything, but constantly talking about undemocratic, intimidation prone caucuses. Yeah he won Alaska, total 300 votes.

    To quote one of Amy Winehouse’s song: “What kind of fuckery is this”?

    At this moment in time, in the era of Rev. Wright, and the avalanch of scandals to come, I’d prefer all those caucuses – red states by the way – have a primary vote. The private, not in-your-face style of DEMOCRACY. And I’d bet Hillary would win by an average of 20 points. Booyah!

  • Mike B

    I know I’m late on replying to this, but it’s this very Obama zombie mindset that is driving me nuts. Their inability to see past the primaries is astonishing. Half of the states listed here will not vote Democrat no matter what. The majority of the others (if not all) will vote Democrat in favor of either candidate. IT IS THE ABILITY TO WIN SWING STATES THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. Jeeeeeezzzzz.

    O.K., I feel better now.

    HOW CAN TEXAS NOT CERTIFY ANY OF THE VOTES TILL THEIR CONVENTION..in June..first of all an election is ceritified by the state not the party… AND YET ANY CANDIDATE CLAIMS DELEGATES????????

    that is insane…how is that anywhere in the DNC rules??????????

    can anyone see if that is in the rules ..that a state does not certify the votes until months after an election ..and how and when a state must cerify to award any candidate the delegates …there should be no awarding of delegates until a vote is certifed by the state as a legal election!

    and how could Obama or Hillary say they have those delegates?????????

    How can AP say Obama won all these delegates ..when they are not certified.

    So what’s the new magic number since we aren’t seating caucus and red state delegates?

  • Patsi

    Who has the power to strong arm delegates with threats of having an opponent in their district?? BO is an invention of Howard Dean.. Dean hates the Clintons because they opposed his bid for DNC chair.. he won..now it’s payback. BO is Dean’s hand picked nominee. and he has advantaged BO with the DNC network he started setting up in 2004, Deanics, and internet.. that’s how BO won all those caucuses.. Dean went down south, then out west, to set up offices for his 50 state strategy. He needed someone to mobilize the southern (AA) voters to snag 1 or 2 states from electoral college.. that’s his plan for a new electoral map.. so he picked a clean slate ,no record candidate with some shinola. The DNC, dean, Kennedy have all highjacked this party for another far left elite candidate. how many times are they going to get whacked before they learn. the country is in the center.. the new coalition is a loser.. Hillary is the strongest on all levels Stay in Hillary!!

    Yes, indeed, a big change is coming. Apparently you’re not up on the latest news – “Hillary Supporters for McCain” is one of the many groups with thousands of supporters so far who will NOT, under any circumstances, vote for Obama, short of someone holding our children’s bare feet over red-hot coals. The “change” will be the tidal wave of men and women roiling out of the Democratic Party and voting for McCain if Clinton does not get the nomination she has earned. Brazile feels the party no longer needs “older” voters, non-college-educated voters, and those of us who earn less than a hundred grand a year. Well, you know what? That’s a lot of voters moving over to McCain.

    Good, Jean. I hope they do spend the time watching the videos you linked in your comments. The more people see how thin this line of attack is, the more they will shift their attention to more valid attacks on Senator Obama.

    Look, I’m depressed as hell that the pundits and party elders are pushing Obama onto an electorate that is clearly beginning to look sceptically at him. I wish we had more time to expose Obama for whatever he is. But you have to look at the messengers too — Sinclair is not believable.

    Below is some background info on Larry Sinclair — a convicted felon:
    (Media-Newswire.com) – WASHINGTON, D.C. -

    “Sinclair has also been very forthcoming about his background. Sinclair told the Globe that he was a convicted felon who was involved in credit card fraud, drug-dealing and smuggling illegal aliens.”

    ‘Nuff said.

    Barack’s ignorance of critical foreign policy issues will be exploited. His latest Obamaism claiming that “Arabic” translators are needed in Afghanistan is inexcusable for someone who wants to be Commander-in-Chief in the war on terror. The languages of Afghanistan are Pashto and Dari Persian. I guess this puts to bed, once and for all, the rumor that Obama is a secret muslim. Surely a true muslim would understand this nuance.

    You do know that the languages of the folks we’re supposed to be in Afghanistan to hunt down, i.e. al-Qaeda, include Arabic as well as Pashto and Persian, right? The top leadership of al-Qaeda is, after all, predominantly Saudi and Egyptian, where they speak, you know, Arabic.

    Surely someone who was going to slam a presidential candidate over this issue would understand the nuance.
