A SPECIAL COMMENTARY

By Keith Olberwmnn on May 28, 2008 at 1:04 AM in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Current Affairs, Hoodwinking, Kentucky, MSNBC, Media Bias, Obamaisms, Obamedia, West Virginia

On Memorial Day, Senator Obama, trying to show some patriotism and solidarity with the military and Jews (except those in Israel), mentioned his grandfather’s service in the military and his uncle helping to liberate Auschwitz. Apparently, Senator Obama was also seeing “dead people” at the same time.

Senator, whatever could you POSSIBLY be thinking? What group are you pandering to NOW? We all know your standing with our sons and daughters in uniform. Are you trying to get the “too-stupid-not-to-sign-up-crowd?” Really? Even though your acolytes often suggest the only people serving are those who can’t get work somewhere better, like Starbucks or Whole Foods? That must be some great arugula you’re smoking, to think military people will feel your kinship to them, or was it the phantom army you were talking to? Senator, you do know that phantom army can’t vote? Oh but, you’re from Chicago – maybe that works there.

Where in your universe does having a grandfather and/or great uncle who served in the Army and may or may not have liberated someone somewhere suggest in any way whatsoever that you have any understanding of the military, its people, traditions and sacrifices?

What’s next, sir? A tank ride? By the way, senator, if you’re looking to attract military people, you MIGHT want to ask your not-my-close-friends to step off the flag for their publicity photos hawking their new books.

But Senator, perhaps you were going for the Jewish vote? Having previously stoked the embers of racism into a hungry flame, are you now trying to convince Jews they are “the other white people” – not those horrible West Virginia and Kentucky types – and you can “feel THEIR pain?” Do you think, sir, telling people your “uncle” liberated Auschwitz is a GOOD idea? Particularly since it was the RED ARMY that marched into Auschwitz? Know history, much, sir? Or do you think most Jews get their concentration camps confused and won’t really mind since you so clearly have the best intentions at heart? Or did you MEAN to tell us your uncle-in-the-attic was a communist?

Senator, traditionally on Memorial Day, our politicians profess gratitude for the sacrifices our service members have made on our behalf. Most of the time they manage to distinguish between the living and the dead and to offer up any truthful examples of family members who served. You did neither.

At the VERY LEAST, you should have been able to summon the skills of an experienced politician. But then again, you’re not.

Good night and good luck.

I find this reifying of “Jews” to be Anti-Semitic. Most younger Jews, who aren’t neccesarily die-hard supporters of Zionism, support Obama, most older Jews support Hillary or McCain. Same with most demographics.

A mistake was made, yes, but you people are down the tubes and outside of his “consulting” Larry Johnson will never be taken seriously again.

you are the one not taken seriously.

How do you spell potato?

Oh, I’m sorry, you are right – politicians are never taken to task for saying something stupid.
s. hall

tootsky — you hit it. Obama is tone deaf. He thinks I will give a crumb to the Jews and they will love me. What we have learned about Obama however, is that he cannot pander because he does not care about anyone but himself. I read awhile back about an event Obama held. A woman said her husband lost his job, they had no health care and now they were in danger of losing their home. After she had finished Obama without missing a beat talked about his house and how many rooms it had. The audience looked stunned because he never mentioned this woman who was hurting. But this is Obama. If this guy ever became President he would feel nobody’s pain. If Bush flies over our pain Obama wouldn’t even interrupt his Waffles to give it a moment’s thought.

Bert I ask myself everyday why would a party destroy itself to give a nomination to a man who cannot and will not win? There will be a life after November. Have they not realized that these new young registrants are just a flash in the pan and will go on to other pursuits after Obama is history? I guess sometimes dumb is just dumb.

We have however, discovered that the Democratic Party is tired of being the party of the people which works out really well because I am tired of being a member of a party where Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean rule. Yech!

Keith Olbermann is a typical Obama supporter: he is violent; he is misogynistic; he reads from a teleprompter; he is a liar; he is a cultist thug; he reads Daily Kos; he is out of touch; he is bought and bossed; he has no integrity.

Perhaps Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can instruct Obama in the goings on in Germany circa the 1930s and 1940s. I know that Obama said that his talks would be unconditional, but maybe the A man wouldn’t object too much to this one condition. In fact, perhaps Ahmadinejad would allow us to sit in on Obama’ education on worldwide TV so that we will all be on the same page vis a vis there being no Holocast.

Thanks, Barry, great idea!

There is even more to this story. Over at Transterrestial I discovered this is not the first time Obama has said something like this.

Also:

http://www.luoamerican.com/baldilocks/

In this link scroll down to “All the World’s a Stage – Updated”

Then scroll down to the first Update which says:

“UPDATE: Lord Nazh notices that Obama also claims that his grandfather enlisted right after the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan. However, the Kansas WWII Veterans Record shows that his grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham, enlisted in the military on June 18, 1942. Is the delay explainable or was this another badly learned line?”

Arius

obama will say and do anything to win, his idiot bots don’t care

Mr.Murder

Barack’s uncle Josef did indeed liberate Auschwitz, Barack is channeling his inner gremlins, it appears he’s internalized much of their background history.

Axelrod probably had Kosher polling results which indicated which of the death camps was most heard of, so instead of taking the time to look into historical record the hope machine simply blurted out his vision of past events.

That’s certain to win him a lot of support, don;t think he’ll use that way of phrasing things if he gets called to the stand on Operation Board Games?

Hoperation Board Games?

s. hall

Candy Crowley in her eagerness to explain away Obama’s mis-statement (isn’t that a great non-word) she called Auschwitz Auswitch. See even a well seasoned reporter who has problem said Auschwitz hundreds of times can make a mistake–wink wink. These people are so far up Obama’s ass they can’t see daylight.

Brendy

On Memorial Day, most politicians paid tribute to our Military and those who died serving, but Obama didn’t – he was too busy trying to build himself up by bringing up a great-uncle who served in the army – except he got the details mixed up. How selfish,ungrateful and unpatriotic he is! I really dont he’s engrained that much into being an American. I think his anti-America preacher of 20+ years really has affected him.
Mr.Murder

Everything’s a fucking mess. Thanks to our Fourth Estate for crapping on the Constitution. Fourth line of defense, my ass. It’s a form of treason, isn’t it? As much as it makes me angry, it breaks my heart.

You had me going. I kept thinking, “No way. He’s too much of a coward.” He’ll NEVER make things right. He doesn’t have it in him. Another empty suit. Blah, blah, blah… “Special Comment”… blah, blah, blah…

I wonder if he’ll ever get it. He doesn’t seem to understand that his behavior has exposed his very soul. He has some real issues that need attention.
He’ll never admit his EXTREME errors in judgement, either. I sent him an e-mail once and he sent me a hand signed letter snail mail. What a horse’s ass. He doesn’t like to be challenged. Tough shit. Truth is truth. He’s a hypocritical tool who doesn’t give a crap about anyone or anything but himself.

Ethics, honor and integrity are “just words” to this joker. What a shame.

Deep Truths

Obamaman go after Mr. Chocolate with nuts? The Olberman craves him some chocolate everyday.

Truthfully, I think Olberman does know how much he’s screwed up and its causing him to whig out. He no doubt wanted a narcissisus dream job; press secretary to the president. Imagine everyday all eyes on you with that shit ass grin. Doesn’t matter if its bullshit you’re spewing, you’re special to yourself and The One.

Anything that threatens this dream are road kill to the Olberman. Even though Mr. Chocolate has bribed many a vane men with the same job.

Olberman re-watches every broadcast of himself. He’s insanely possessive of himself and how he comes across. Coming across as someone this close to a meltdown must be extremely unnerving.

The rest of us should enjoy this and only hope we see Countdown-Meltdown live.

are you now trying to convince Jews they are “the other white people”

RFLMAO!

The editor comment was superb!
Mr.Murder

Teacher, the blog ate my homework.

My prior post never appeared. Metaphysically, it’s somewhere out there in the cyberspace expanse.

Let me reiterate.

Facts don’t matter to Obama people. Subjectivity rules their world view, your feelings about Obama are more important than any regard to his obligation to state things factually.

Perhaps this help explains his support among college persons. Most institutions teach you that there are enough examples to argue for or against your point regardless of outcomes. What remains is the subjective value you attach to to all the background noise of process as people use facts that best support their viewpoints.

Lets surpass the need for facts. Hope is dope. Pass it on.

This is not a new tactic, Obama was the person who emphasized a move from the 60s, as a way to distance himself from his own inspirational ties who once networked those years. Yet he dwells within a range of dialog they shared. This in efforts to erect the current framework of NGO, institutions, and other value added horse shit that is draining productivity from the ranks labor and education and replacing it with an insulated insider crew that is no different than the GOP’s insider trading deals of recent.

Tom Wolfe was the person who was portraying this best in the 80′s. A world view and conceptual lifestyle that was simply adding more process and less substance to the overall exchange of ideas and market principles.

Radicals changed protest signs in for formal attire, hippies became yuppies, the aftermath of the era is that most of those men and women channeled new advance into existing infrastructure of society.

The ego is all that remains. Thus we have Obama. A radical who has overcome their use of id by sublimating most of his philosophy into channels outside of him, yet nearby.

Michelle Obama and the Rev. Wright function to connect his id to his ego. Obama’s superego is actually a composite of three persons outside of him. There’s more voices in that head than in Maureen Dowd’s.

The idea of subjectivity is always a core pillar of his campaign theme. Don’t get talked into the facts, because the more you find out about Barack in terms of the facts the less impressive his experience, or lack thereof, is.

Stay within a different realm, uberfriendly to your own fuzzy perceptions. This hope that Obama brews and sells to college persons is nothing new. It’s donned different names with similar results in the past.

Barack is his own shaman, dealing out new realities with facts that fly wherever his feelings lead him to say.

It’s sold millions of copies before, and Barack is just a copy of that.

Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his purported training in traditional Mesoamerican shamanism. His 12 books have sold more than 8 million copies in 17 languages

This new hope tea he’s selling isn’t so new.

Academic critics claim the books are works of fiction, citing the books’ internal contradictions, discrepancies between the books and anthropological data, alternate sources for Castaneda’s detailed knowledge of shamanic practices and lack of corroborating evidence.

Wow, not unlike Dreams of my Father. Had Barack wished to deal with reality the book title would have been Multiple Wives of my Father.

That would not satisfy the need to feed ego. Facts be damned, feelings are what we need to emphasize.

In his books, Castaneda narrates in first person what he claims were his experiences under the tutelage of a Yaqui shaman named don Juan Matus whom he met in 1960. Castaneda reports that he was identified by don Juan Matus as having the energetic configuration of a “nagual”, who, if the spirit chose, could become a leader of a party of seers. He also used the term “nagual” to signify that part of perception which is in the realm of the unknown yet still reachable by man, implying that, for his party of seers, don Juan was a connection in some way to that unknown. Castaneda often referred to this unknown realm as nonordinary reality, which indicated that this realm was indeed a reality, but radically different from the ordinary reality experienced by human beings who are well engaged in everyday activities as part of their social conditioning.

-wiki
Thus we abide in Obama’s feeling as a link to our hopes, we don’t need reality. Barack Obama has provided Nonordinary Reality to all who want to drink the kool aid.

Barack Obama as Casteneda. Too bad Jerry Garcia isn’t around to see what a bad trip is really about.

http://www.akpmedia.com David Axisrutt

Saw a documentary on this Castaneda character on the BBC recently. Evidently he was a bullshit artist of the highest order.

Fred C. Dobbs

Wow! You mean Dan wrote a BOOK???

Who woulda thunk it?

Was it about his work in Raising Arizona?

TeakWoodKite

What about the “tiny red bugs” ?

If only BO read these books…he is good at pawning subjectiviism on kool-aid but not metaphysics.

The countless paths one traverses in one’s life are all equal. Oppressors and oppressed meet at the end, and the only thing that prevails is that life was altogether too short for both.

A Seperate reality.

Grandpa Obama had 14 wives.

I’m sure the rest of those relatives had multiple wives and dozens upon dozens of kids. I’m sure the ‘family’ is way too big to have been sitting around the campfire (allegedly) listening to great uncle puba telling war stories.

The ENTIRE spewing of Obama’s is crap.
karen for Clinton

good morning campers, start your engines.

I must protest this column… Keith would likely STILL be an ass even in an alternate reality, even with a time machine when he gets to do it all over several times. He would also still be a wet noodle.

I listened so far only to part 1 of the 3 part Dobb’s radio show. It was cathartic and orgasmic.

Here’s some of what I caught him saying in 1 of 3 but he said oh so much more. Here’s the gist of it boiled down to a stream of a rant from me with glee.

Dobb’s on Obama: The MOST ignorant, arrogant, inexperienced, naive, pandering, inaccurate, clueless, egregious act of stupidity, duplicitous, disgusting, deceitful, snob, 2 bit senator, a treasure chest of stupidity, an insult to reason, civility and decency, an abject fool, talking out of his hat, bereft of respect for facts or decency, the temerity to lie, utter disregard for facts. Obama just became his hobby. He’s never had a presidential candidate before who he considered his very own newfound “hobby” and his new “flea“ and he vows to talk about who obama really is frequently and with great fervor and straighten him all out for this Great Nation due to the sorry way he represents reality to those who vote for him, extraordinary they put up with this non-sense, dangerous potential for the presidency and supports policy that is ruinous to this country. The media choosing sides is a disservice to the american people and unwarranted illogical crazy talk for a chosen rock star.

now that’s a mouthful and oh so right-on!

karen for Clinton

Dobbs Part 2 snippets heard:
BO is a duplicitous liar and dangerous candidate for the POTUS. Content of his character is not even considered for pres of US. Pandering to Jews – yet another block he alienated. Failed illogical inaccuracies. He has contempt for ob who is distorting reality. Embarrassing this country with his statements and out of control with his rhetoric. Makes the dumbest comments. Beyond misrepresentation on hate crimes. Altering independent universe of reality with distortions. Incapable and dangerous as a candidate. Pandering to ethno-centric groups. No pride, no limit to what he will do. Those who would aspire to higher office, the consequences are grave. He’s a beauty with a disregard for reality and disrespect for the people he deceives. Disgusting.

Phone call on media bias against hillary. It is all about obama, he can’t imagine why anyone would remain a democrat in Fl or Mi. Dean is in the tank.
One of the Mayors: Lou stands up for middle class Americans. A critique from BO is a badge of honor.
Phone call: theory why BO is attacking is that the dems fear the Independents are uniting against ob. OB is threatened by Dobb’s input and independence. Ob spewing nothing but falsehoods. Indy is a great choice. Dem’s will flee the party.

Phone call: alienated groups and emperor has no clothes. Working class insults. Blatant and obvious media bias —- MSNBO- Keith Olpig is in meltdown mode. Lifelong dems, DNC is stupid. Chicago thugs. Phone call: list of super delegates on his web site. Phone call: Aisha – lack of judgment, racist charges against hillary and bill, females outraged in this country wouldn’t allow it in India. Phone call – James – flag pin. Lou says he never criticized ob. Ob’s lame excuses and his statements were ridiculous. Lou says he responded to his insults. Personal choice to wear or not wear but ob said an idiotic thing about the people who DO wear flag pins. (James is in the tank – he said Hillary isn’t mistreated and james said hillary got a PASS from the media!!!) Lou ended segment 2 with “Stick the fork in Ob, he is done.”

Dobbs – Part 3
Candidates disappointing. BO in particular. Gave him latitude, time to grow. Rednecks most insulting statement ever made and the media gave him a free pass. Consequence in media will be retrospective profound regrets. Disaster if he succeeds. Clips again with ob calling out Lou. Speaks without logic not accurate dangerous and allowed by national media. Unchecked consequences. Increasingly egregiously arrogant and ignorant. Duplicitous deceitful fool lack of standard, lack of content of character increasingly apparent. Our elected officials give no priority to protect us at our ports. Ob isn’t as popular with voters as he is with the media. Mexico and drug rant. Ob pretends he has a higher standard while undercutting our national interest. Repeating all previous insults of ob but added JERK to the list and indulger in hyperbole.
Get the lies from his radical left-wing liberal friends did you take their word for it? Ob has no conscience or regard for the national interest. Ob’s entire approach is despicable. Political and economic mess of the country will be discussed coming up. Phone call: still not from obama…. Ha ha. Greenspan’s Bubbles author. Fed reserve age of ignorance. Carter has done it again. Nuclear arsenal never confirmed or denied… 150 weapons. Couldn’t screw it up more. By golly scary. Slow down go fishing… ha ha.
For sake of country Bush should go fishing too and the aspiring president shut up for a while. Lou’s gone fishing with Carter, nice guy, but this is POLITICS. Inflation created by them – print more money. Carter symmetry. Gov’t bailing out everybody. Wall Street not main street. Will last a few years more. Problems long term. Phone ringing… still not OB…. Golly. Gordon Cheng on China disaster on phone. Microbes eat plastic bags Canadian 16 year old student idea. Phone ringing… not ob…shucks. Tonight on Lou Dobbs: Port security police themselves. Free market, no performance of duty. Outsourcing. Morons in Bush admin. Bill Richardson’s no need for travel warning was wrong – new evidence of violence in Juarez Mexico near american border. Joe Klein wrong on Trans-Texas corridor, they’ll enlighten him.

amen.

Deep Truths

Got history?
calli not your sweeti

Obama is showing he can relate a “Jewish” story. Unfortunately, it’s lost on Obama that he’s trying to garner “Jewish” votes by bringing up Auchswitz, the worst and most gruesome Nazi death camp, and meanwhile, Obama has some of the most anti-Israel and anti-semite advisors on his campaign staff. Maybe someone should explain to Obama, Rev. Wright, Brezinski and George Soros that the birth of Israel came as a result of the Nazi death camps. “Never Again” is the cry of Israelis and Jews around the world, which is why Obama must not win the democratic nomination.

Mr.Murder

Soros is Jewish, isn’t he? His father to buy fake papers to avoid his Soros being sent to camps.

Whenever OB is in the tank, or does smthg egregious, the Huffpost blanks out, goes silent, or talks about World News.
Just a political whore of the worst kind! Intent on bringing down the best, and putting this country into the hands of puppets that they can manipulate for their own ends.

Mr.Murder

At times Obama has used Wright or Michelle to say things that will overshadow other items he might get questioned deep upon. It is a plausible form of cover, but not a very wise one, because it has burned him as bad or worse in the perceptions other form of Barack’s own celebrated judgment.

Beautiful article. Exactly his phrasing, style, and cadence. Wonderfully done.

We need more of this. As we’re ahead of the Obamabits on the evolutionary scale we should come out more and use our superior intellectual weapons in this way. To make fun of them – we need it, it’s more entertaining, and it probably gets more people to understand the truth.

Bravissimo.

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading these comments. How about some more from Chris, Andrea, and some of the other clowns at MSNBC. And we mustn’t forget what’s his face, Jack, at CNN and anyone else deserving of the honor.

lizpolaris

It seems to me that Obama is taking another page from the Reagan playbook. Reagan often ‘embellished’ or completely made things up about his background depending on the audience he was speaking to. His intent was to appeal to that audience and he seemed to know that the media wouldn’t bother checking up on the story. What he said would be repeated as the news of the day and then the story moves on. Obama is taking advantage of this same dynamic. If what he says is even anywhere close to reality, well the rest is just a ‘slip’ and not news so why bother pointing it out?

In this case, while it would seem that he’s courting the Jewish vote, I think he’s just appealing to his base again. This gaffe will be obvious to most Jews. We read that Obama has little Jewish support and I don’t think that he really cares to win them over. These stories are meant to make him appear to be the ‘uniter’ that he thinks he is and that Obamabots hope he is. Gee, what a multicultural guy, eh?

I typed up some of his comments above as they flew by me on the replay. Dobbs buried OB. About time somebody took the sham to task and called it as it really is. He talked about a few of the bonehead ob remarks and associations but he is just getting warmed up.

The FLEA has landed. All hands on deck, this is mutiny! Abandon the Dem ship it is sinking fast.

Independents against OB unite.

We’ll figure out who to vote for by who is left standing in November, but if one of them is still ob, if he manages to stay out of jail, he must be destroyed, for GOOD so he never returns.

The attack plan on Obama is set (except for the surprises). My news feed gave me a link to an NRA website this morning — http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11076 — which linked to this National Review article. It looks like the NRA knows what its members in rural areas are interested in.

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NTNkNTU5MjE2MjUwNmQ2MWQ3YWRlYjhmNzQ4OTQyOGU=

Its main points:

Evidenced by his list of supporters, from Ayers Dohrn, Hayden and Fonda, to the New Black Panthers, the New SDS, the New Winter Soldiers, et al., the radical Left has anointed Obama as the One. Every aging, anti-war, anti-capitalist group and their new offshoots are flocking around Obama like moths to a flame.

The first alliances Obama made in Chicago were with fellow travelers of socialist Saul Alinsky and leaders of the ongoing “Black Liberation” Struggle, Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. And before Obama made even his first attempt to dip into Chicago’s political cesspool, he was introduced to and properly coronated by Ayers and Dohrn. Then came one “magical” success after another…

note: the writer doesn’t much like the Clinton either, and I think is way off the mark in that description. The importance of this article is that it is being peddled to the NRA membership.

karen for Clinton

I’m starting to think the DNC does have a strategy.

They are letting Ob take all the heat all along the next few months and will waltz in and save Hillary just before the balloon drop. She will miss the scathing of the republicans and the obamabots will be so humilitated by republicans they will remember how nice and fair Hillary dems are and feel guilt for treating the Clinton’s so bad.

The reps will lose in Nov and Hillary will be prez.

or else they really are in the tank for ob and will continue to knee-cap her… I can only dream it ain’t so and there is a stunning upset in Denver.

The RBC is being briefed on the legalities of the issues regarding seating but it is up to them or it will go to the floor.

To the floor and Hillary winning after losing all the battles they waged against her.

If only Olbermann were capable of actually commenting like this.
Is it just me, or does Barack Obama not know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day? I think he saw fallen heroes on Memorial Day because it’s the “same difference” to him.
Actually, that seems to be his attitude in almost every speech he gives. Approximately is close enough to the truth for him.

bart

He probably thought it would be good to acknowledge all service members and just get ahead of that whole “veterans’ day thing” in the fall, you know.

Nevermind that military people are a little quirky about the difference in the two days. . . .

Another link. The percentage of Democrats who want Hillary to leave the race has been declining. (Interpretation — the number of people who strongly supported Obama is declining.) http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/fewer_democrats_want_hillary_to_drop_out This is according to a Rasmussen report from a few days ago.

LOL. Great commentary. I had to stop, after the first sentence or 2 and reread the name!!! Funny stuff. Keith lives in a parallel universe and those words will never be spoken by him. He is rather stuck on himself, just like Barry. They could be BFF’s.

BO’s reference to Auschwitz in his 2002 speech against Iraq war. At that time it was his grandfather who heard about Auschwitz.

Obama 2002 speech

Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances.

The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through
the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union, and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil. I don’t oppose all wars.

My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.

I don’t oppose all wars.

In 2008, the story changed from grandfather to uncle. But this time his uncle not just heard about Auschwitz. BO said his uncle actually went to Auschwitz.

..an uncle who was one of the..ah..who’s part of the first American troops to go to Auschwits and liberate the concentration camp..

You be the judge if this is an innocent mistake or a deliberate act to exaggerate family history for political gain.

First, parents participated and met at MLK march. – lie.
Second, father benefited from JFK chartered flight. – lie.
Third, uncle liberated the infamous death camp. – lie.

HARP

Any potential president ,should at a minimum, know that the American army only went as far as the Elbe river, where it met up with the Russians. Not knowing that Auchwitz is in Poland, which was under Russian dominance is to show that he clearly does not understand the geo-political scene at all.

Mr.Murder

Clearly, Obama cannot forget about Poland, an original coalition of the bribed member.

Because it’s hard to forget something you never took time to learn.

Imagine that, a guy about hope and change who isn’t familiar with the background of Solidarity and how it helped bring down the Iron Curtain.
http://DeeLee deelee

But wait, we have a problem. How can a relative of his (he does’nt know which one) have liberated a concentration camp, when according to his heroes (Ahmedinejad, Wright, Fahrakant, et al) claim that the holocaust did not happen!

AngryWhitePerson

The line “crucible of the sword” stands out to me. Metaphorical from almost any other writer, but from Obama, I would think he takes it quite literally. It would not surprise me if Obama thought the Civil War really was fought with swords. He tends to get mixed up in facts and timelines.

He is also the man who told Puerto Rico he understands their problems because he grew up in Hawaii. You know, cause all islands are alike.

Fred C. Dobbs

Makes Dan Quayle look like a genius, doesn’t he?

Lady MacBeth Obama

Yes, well. Drug withdrawl is a painful thing.
But when you are really tired, sometime’s the truth of your world view slips out. Like 57 states… well there are 57 Islamic nations in that cuddly organization they have.
And talking to dead people? Well, there are a whole lot of dead people who like to vote in Chicago elections. It’s not that he’s just stupid… His mind is in complete meltdown and the subconcious is taking over. The stupid man is starting to confess his sins to us. Perhaps he’d like to tell us what’s on the tape of Michelle going well….Michelle.
Whose ghost comes to visit you at night Senator Obama? Is it Banquo? Is it Donald Young? Is it the good people you have stepped on to get to that tenuous perch on which you now cling.

Lady MacBeth Obama

Obama says: “some crank, some crank….my kingdom for some crank.”

but I’m not sure you’ve never done heroin, boy-o
so perhaps you will be saying:

“some horse, some horse… my kingdom for some horse.”

Lady MacBeth Obama

oh yes, that should read “crack”. Well, as Obama would say, “so many drugs, so little time…”

By the rule of 7 degrees of separation, Obama probably also has a great uncle who was in the Reich.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned already, but Bill O’Reilly went after NBC/GE on his FoxNews show last night. He said that their conduct had been shameful and they have stepped over the bounds of journalistic integrity. He then went on to say that he has evidence that Jeffrey Immelt(sp?) who owns GE has been supplying airplane parts to Iran.

I believe him.

I hope he follows up.

Isn’t Halliburton doing business with Iran, too?

I saw on a Internet site that the Obama camp has refused to give up the name of this famous Uncle saying he was too old and wanted his privacy, what they omitted to say was that the name they first alluded to a Charlie Payne, was enlisted in the Navy not the Army.

Seems the story is getting interesting and am sure they wish it will go away, cant have the great one looked upon as a liar now can they.

beebop

From Fox News:

The campaign said his great uncle, Charlie Payne, served in the 89th Infantry Division, and that the unit was among those to liberate Ohrdruf on April 4, 1945.

No. Obama not only has the Super Delegates. He has the Super Duper delegates. The meme floating about – we will count MI and FL on the second round of voting at the convention but not now.

No. Count the votes now. No Justice. No Peace.

Just like 2000.

Mr Johnson

OT – but this concerns me.

Asia Times reported that there are plans to strike Iran. I went to Col Pat Lang’s blog and he had a few comments on it.

If the Asia Times article is true, will Sen Clinton try to stop it? We really don’t need another M.E. conflict, do we? I only ask because of her vote on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment which, admittedly I’m not that smart when it comes to deciphering the language of a bill – does this amendment give the Bush administrating the OK to do this???

Thank you!

Obama was on the news this morning, reading the latest Axelrod mediocrity, and he looked…stoned.
C. S.

Any genealogist knows how to find military service records and there is a multitdue of on line services that can trace ancestors very accurately; that’s how Obama’s links to Cheney and Brad Pitt were discovered. Not releasing the name of the relative who served won’t prevent any researcher from discovering where his American grandfather’s or grandmother’s brother served or even one of his Kenyan father’s uncles who might have served, which admittedly appears unlikely. My WWII veteran father also heard the stories but he was in the Pacific and no one in the family mixes up his time in the Phillapeans with the horrors he experienced in Japan.

And there is a very big difference between Buchenwald and Auschwitz. Buchenwald was a concentration labor camp in Nazi Germany and Auschwitz-Birkenau was the largest of the 6 extermination camps and they were all located in Poland.

And for those who don’t think it matters much, check out what happened to Reagan in May 1985 when he decided to lay a wreath at Bitburg Cemetery where Nazi Waffen-SS soldiers were buried. As one unnamed U. S. official was quoted: “I never thought I’d see the day when Ronald Reagan could get the American Legion angry with him, by God, we’ve done it”
terri

Yah, this illustrates one BIG problem with Obie. He didn’t really grow up in the U. S. and he knows nothing about the history or the culture. He certainly did not have the experience of growing up black in America. My god, the guy looks more like GWB everyday–and the DNC looks more like the neoConservatives under Karl Rove.
John

Haven’t you been paying attention to the media? Obama “made an honest mistake,” it was “a minor slip” caused by “the exhausting pace of the campaign,” etc.

Which might be easier to swallow if Hillary had recieved even one-tenth as much benefit of the doubt.

C. S.

This guy gets “exhausted” so easily will he need more vacations than GWB? We need to see those health records quick. He’s a “youthful” 47 and can’t keep up with a 60 year old campaign rival?

How would he hold up in marathon life and death negotiations with other nations!

I was wondering if Obama is so self obsorbed and has so little empathy for our soldiers that he thinks “our fallen heros” can get up and attend his Memeorial Day photo op. Worse than seeing dead people.

Keith Olberman should be FIRED immediately for his diatribe last week on Hillary. Personally, a group of Venusians should kidnap him, and force him to wear a fleshy, fake vagina, grant him monthly menstruation, impregnate him and watch him do labor for a few days like so many of us women have had to endure to give birth to thankless, ingrates the likes of Olbermann. May God have mercy on his mother, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and any other unsuspecting female that comes within 100 million light years near that overgrown baby’s hideous mouth!

no trolls today ? very refreshing ! obama, i see dead people, is on track for breaking news very soon. the rezko jury vows to wrap this up by tomarrow. they are hinting that rezko may try to make a deal and tell what he really knows. and believe larry sinclair, or not, he is announcing something about i see dead people obama tonight on his web-site. i also read an ap story that was pestering hillary at mt. rushmore today and she told them why dont they go and learn about it. lmao. 17 million people can not be wrong. if the worst happens and she is forced out, she just has to run as an independent. if joe lieberman did it and won, so could she….god, that would be so funny !

Sen Obama just addressed a group of gay voters and pointed out that his cousin Bruce, an interior decorator, often confers with him about redecorating tips. He then went on to a rally with nursing mothers and commiserated with them concerning lactation problems. Later today he is scheduled to meet with a group of senior citizens and will explain that he is with them since he has an 86 year old grandmother.

Sometime this evening he is expected to call home for an updated list of relatives that he may be able to use in his further pandering to get votes from wherever he can.

The Real Hope

LOL too funny! Talk about a panderer! This Obama is a nut!

Hey, if you have a place that will link to this article, it would be nice to get some more play on this issue. Particularly in light of Larry’s recent article about BO’s missing uncle.

Sounds an awful lot like BO embellished what could have been an honorable story into one that was just a little too good.

I use to like Keith Olberman a lot, but not anymore. He is a “macho” just like the others at MSNBC. They cannot stand a brilliant woman like Hillary and it’s their loss. If Obama wins in November he is going to make mistake after mistake, because he is not prepared to be president of the United States. Poor Olberman, he is as grumpy as Mccain or even more, at least we have not seen Mccain having a tantrum yet.

Seriously, why bother with them. Don’t give them any traffic. It’s not like they have any balls to leave their mommies basements and actually do anything. Damn, it sounds as if they need to get a life, get a tan, get laid. Sad little Obamabits.

The other point being Obama is seriously corrupt.

It doesn’t pay to reinforce the notion this is simply a game, without consequence.

Most of the people who involved in those types of endeavors, I would venture even Axelrod, are in denial about the reality they face.

So, you know, keep it real.

Interesting story in the news today about Scott McClellan, and the inside story regarding Bush, Rove, Cheney, Iraq and Plame.

Axelrod plays the same game.

I see a White House scrambling, in ruins, why would Obama’s campaign be any different?

They never saw it coming either, digging their grave deeper, and deeper…

Why would you suggest giving such a puerile, immature site any hits? Do you care what people like that say about you or what you have to say about anything? If so, you are in serious need of some maturity.

I say what I say because it is what I think or believe. I may or may not change my mind given events further down the road.

At this time I can confidently say that nothing would make me vote for Obama. Nothing would make me vote for McCain. But I will vote. It’s my right and my duty.

Make fun or that or not. It won’t change my mind or my vote. And I am totally uninterested with what some anonymous idiot on the Internet says about me.
