Barack Obama Family Military Lies [UPDATES]

By Larry Johnson on May 28, 2008 at 3:24 PM in Current Affairs

Which is it Barack? Are you a moron or a liar? Or both? On Monday you claimed your Uncle (not further identified) help liberate Auschwitz. Since it was the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz, that left people wondering who your communist uncle was? So your campaign scrambled to get out the word–No, he meant his great uncle and he meant Buchenwald rather than Auschwitz. There, that settled it.

So I have one question–how in the hell did your uncle get to Buchenwald. Was he in a row boat? Looks like Great Uncle Charlie was in the Navy. Service records for Charles Payne show

Charles W. Payne, born 1924, enlisted 10Nov42, Navy, 6293977 Registered, order #12019, Kansas City, Wyandotte Co., Board #4

UPDATE 3 Here’s what we know for sure:

1. No Charles W. Payne enlisted in or was drafted into the Army from Kansas according to extant Kansas records 1941-43.

2. Obama’s grandmother Payne family has not C.T. Payne. Her brother was Charles W. Payne.

3. The C.T. Payne in the 89th who is said by the Kitchell 89th website to have been at the liberation of Buchenwald is not listed joining Army from Kansas 1941-43.

4. Two C.W. Paynes are listed joining Navy in 1942 frm Kansas. Charles .W. Payne born Kansas City Jan 4 1924 and died 2000 is not Obama relative.

4. Charles W. Payne who joined Navy Reno County is the likely suspect.

Still working to get final confirmation. (Is it asking for too much to get a straight, accurate answer from the Obama campaign? I guess so.)

UPDATED: Looks like initial reports on the History Channel blog are wrong on this point. Charles W. Payne was not Barack’s Uncle Charlie:

UPDATE II: Well, the initial claim that Charles T. Payne was in the Army may not be true appears to be more bullshit. An Obama supporter is claiming that there is a Charles T. Payne who was in the Army. First problem, a review of records for Kansas shows no such person. Second, this unit was not part of any liberation of Buchenwald. Records indicate:

“Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf.”

http://www.89infdivww2.org/

This should not be so complicated. Obama’s campaign simply needs to come clean. What was your Great Uncle’s name? When was he born and when did he die? Let’s start there.

So here we have Barack apparently inventing more bullshit family history. Charles T. Payne’s unit did not liberate Buchenwald. Ohrdruf was a work camp–not a pleasant place–but not a death camp. You know what Barack, I suspect you did not have a family member anywhere near a Nazi death camp. I believe you are making this up. Rather than tell the truth straight up you embellish. Why do I think this? Because you have a record of inventing false history. How about this?

Over at Talk Left we learn that you can’t even tell the truth about your Gramps:

In West Virginia a few weeks ago, Obama said his grandfather enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, which was December, 1941. [Charleston Gazette (West Virginia) April 8, 2008, Tuesday, available on Lexis.com]

“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.”

Here is the WWII Kansas Veterans Index. His grandfather, Stanley A. Dunham, enlisted in the Army on June 18 1942, six months after Pearl Harbor. [Hat tip Baldilocks.)

We could start down the list of other falsehoods–e.g., your mom and dad met in Selma during a March. You keep doing this. Why?

Barack, how can someone who is supposedly so smart, can be so wrong about family history. These are not mistakes about inconsequential details. What else are you lying about?

  • raymo

    I am disgusted. What a shallow, pandering liar.

    • workingclass artist

      This is as bad as when St. Reagan lied about his fictional war record…LOL
      HOW STUPID DOES OBAMA THE FASCIST THINK WE ARE….SHEESH !

    • Lady MacBeth Obama

      Can someone send this to Greta at Fox. My computer is glitching.

    • tzada

      I think he is lying about being biracial. I think he has not enough black blood to be a legal “black” person. I think he is more white than anything. I also think he has about 43% Arab blood. After 9/11 Arab is not such a popular shade to be. Especially if it is hidden. The Muslim Brotherhood vowed to destroy the USA from within. What better than to take over the White House.

      • Fred C. Dobbs

        One eighth AA used to meet standard on many, many Federal programs back in the 70′s and the early days of Affirmative Action. I seem to remember this as being the same as Native American heritage, but I wouldn’t bet the rent money on it.

      • Max

        tzada, i think you’re probably being an ass on purpose.

  • hillarysmygirl

    Thanks, Larry!

    And where is CNN or MSNBC on this? Oh, that’s right, they’re too busy kissing Sweetie’s ass to notice that he’s continuously lying what he’s saying.

    Come on Fox, you don’t mind digging up this stuff!

    • http://www.myspace.com/helenrose44 Pittsburgh4Hillary08

      We need Sean Hannlity on Fox. He wants to bring Obama down so bad. He’s the one who brought us the Jerimiah Wright story.

  • angca

    BUT BUT BUT

    Hillary cited history

    she’s horrible

    whatever….I’m not voting

    • Fred C. Dobbs

      Nice to know that I spent so much of my youth in shithole places, murdering complete strangers with whom I personally had no quarrel, for you to have the privilege of the Franchise, yet you wish to petulantly squander same.

      GET off your ass on election day, GO to the fucking polls, and WRITE IN PORKY GODDAMNED PIG or GEORGE Fucking CLINTON if you don’t care for the offering.

      But go VOTE on election day!

      While you still have the Right to.

      • Gregoryp

        Ever here of this wonderful language concept called sarcasm?

        • Gregoryp

          But I do agree that voting is not just a privilege or a right. It is our duty and obligation.

          • Fred C. Dobbs

            Sorry. My sense of irony has been attenuated since they cut my Thorazine back…

      • Andy

        Fred: I agree have to go vote (and do whatever there; but go).

      • http://www.myspace.com/helenrose44 Pittsburgh4Hillary08

        I agree with you everyone should vote. I think its my civic duty to vote and I am 44 years old. I have voted every year of my life since I turned 18.

    • vinnie

      No they don’t because there are so many versions that they trip themselves up…case in point, Barry Obama, mr. my mom was on food stamps and I grew up ‘po. Whatever, you liar.

      • http://www.myspace.com/helenrose44 Pittsburgh4Hillary08

        It was Bill Clinton who grew up poor. I knew he was lying anyway because he is way to WEAK to be poor he’s a middle class punk. HaHa when some stupid man from the hood has the balls enough to call Hillary a bitch to my face. I turn to them and say hes a punk ass bitch. He is the girl shes the woman. They are mad as hell but they shut the hell up. You see I am like my girl I dont shut up I dont quit and I am as tough as anyone and I am proud of that.

  • tootsky

    Yes, it was the Soviets who liberated Auschwitz, but to see the redbaiting that goes on here, one would htink that you people would defend the good Germans against the Red hordes.

    • workingclass artist

      WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN tootsky….Obama is a liar and a stupid on at that !…..Here I’ll give you a stuffed Armadillo to worship as it has more authenticity then Obama the Fascist…

      • TeakWoodKite

        Hey Workingclass artist, can I use some of these tubes of oil over on your easel on tootsky?

        I want to paint ‘em red and use ‘em for bait! A red commie Troll…Now watch ‘em

        Red hordes. Hordes? you people?

        Is BO a comunist? Is that what tootsky is sayin?

        • LBJ’s Love Child

          Tootsky is saying that Barry’s “great uncle” was Uncle Joe.

          Or perhaps Tootsky means that Barry’s grandfather’s communist party member friend (and Barry’s mentor) had talked to Soviet agents who had been part of the Red Army that “liberated” Auschwitz and told Barry the story between programing tutoring sessions.

          Is that what’cha mean, Tootsky?

        • Fred C. Dobbs

          Sometimes I use live bait for Reds (menhaden work well at middle depths) and sometime artificial lures work well in the shallows, just after spawning season.

          The REAL craftsmanship is in the preparation, though. I’m fond of Blackened or simple over-spicing with Cajun mixed spices and herbs.

          HEY! THERE’s an ethnic group SEN Hope-a-Dope hasn’t insulted yet: CAJUNS!

          Do you think we can get him to say, “coonass,” in the wrong tome of voice?

          • bigkitty

            My dad used live bait, too, he said it was the best when catching Reds…

            Somethings never change…

          • Nicole

            Freddy, you’re making me hungry again for crustaceans and other creatures of the deep. Yum.

    • beebop

      So you’re happy to have another liar in the White House, is that your point?

    • Lady MacBeth Obama

      htink? Maybe that’s what Obama’s problem is… he’s been trying to htink again.

      • tootsky

        This site is almost as good for workday boredom as tetris.

        All I can say is that you people are the ones being bamboozled, typos aside. My point is that yes, Obama made a mistake, who knows, maybe he did lie? – But that isn’t the point – the point is that considering the redbaiting that is engaged in here, if you all were alive at that time you’d be supporting Lindbergh and Father Coughlin.

        • http://www.hillaryclinton.com **== President & Commander-in-Chief Hillary Clinton **==

          1)My point is that yes,
          2)the point is that

          Who are you Fritz the Cat on his way home from NYU?

        • beebop

          So, he’s a liar but we’re the problem … is that your point?

          • Gregoryp

            Yeah Beebop you’ve got some unmitigated gall not wanting to vote for a pathological liar. I say you and all the rest of you suckers who’d like a president to exhibit an iota of integrity and truthfulness better get with the program.

          the violence of obama supporters really concerns me. in fact, many of them behave as if they are members of the spanish inquisition.

          we have reason to be scared, very scared, of obamabots and the thugs they attract.

      What red baiting?

      • tootsky

        This website regularly bashes Obama for his links to the Left, including communists (like the ones who liberated Auschwitz). As a communist myself, I only wish he was as radical as you people portray him.

        • beebop

          Well, considering that most Americans are opposed to communinism, I think we are in the majority leaving you … rather … the odd man …. out.

          • bigkitty

            As a communist, you’re a simple minded bore.

            Where is the glamour anyway?

            It’s authoritarianism, in the end.

            Professor Diamond sums it up nicely, it has nothing to do with political ideology, everything to do with power over others.

            But still, you’re a bore.

            • yttik

              LOL! Now Obama’s communist fan club comes forward to defend him?

              That’s funny.

              • tootsky

                I’m not a fan of centrists like Clinton or Obama and I concede that I’m in the minority. I fight reactionary thugs out of boredom – for the sake of fighting people like you, call em an Obama supporter. You’d actually allow Mccain to be president and/or you people are so deluded as to believing your own bullshit.

                Communists helped Martin Luther King too, as did anti-communists

                Finally, the name tootsky is after the product that Larry’s favorite clients sell.

                  No, you dig cheeto’s out of you belly button because you are bored. You fight “reactionary thugs” because, either you are afraid to leave the basement or you ran out of tin foil.

          Boats and planes leave daily to China! Lootsky, is that communistic enough for you. Write when you make money.

          • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

            Actually, China is now Communist in name only, but I also wouldn’t mind if Tootsky emigrated.

            The authoritarian state capitalism of modern China is more like fascism than communism, although both of those systems suck like the surface gravity of a neutron star.

          We can see by the former Soviet Union how well communism worked out.

            Yeah, Marxian dogma thrives mostly in American universities among faculty who have never broken a sweat, made a payroll, pounded a nail, driven a truck, painted a sign, paid out a hawser, wired a house, debugged another idiot’s EXCEL spreadsheets, heard small arms fire directed at them, planted a crop or had to run a steel snake down a sewer line full of shit for a living.

            Usually this means Social Sciences types, which is a euphemism for, “Those who couldn’t pass Calculus and/or Language requirement.”

      Huh? Are you retarded?

  • katmandu

    http://www.talkleft.com/story/2007/3/5/201426/5656 Here’s a link to the old revelation about his parents and Selma — remember his claim that his parents conceived him (in 1961) in reaction to Selma (which was in 1965)?

    Start putting all this together. We know he talks to dead people. His ancestors were able to travel though space and time warps. Maybe he’s an alien time traveler?

    • Lady MacBeth Obama

      the problem with the alien theory is that Obama’s lack of intelligence goes against it. Aliens would have to have at least rudimentary abilities in navigation to end up here. Obama seems to have no sense of simple geography. Why would aliens drag such dead weight along with them? Of course, maybe they were headed to another solar system altogether and somebody let Barak co-pilot.
      “Oh shit, who let Barak set the course?”
      “Where the hell are we?”

      • DixieChkn

        brilliant! :)

      • Nicole

        Maybe he’s an accidental tourist of the alien variety.

    • Catriley

      Lest we forget Obama’s claim that his father was part of the Kennedy family’s educational program for Kenyans — that, too, was a lie.

      I’m sure all of these little stories are great when he’s writing that big book o’ fiction, but to be president you have be honest. (well, in a perfect world!)

    Look, Larry, does it really surprise you? Barack’s “autobiography” was a work of fiction.

    This is his expertise.

    • Mary

      I agree.

      Both of his books are bullshit, contrived “composite” characters.

      I think Obama has been re-inventing himself for so long he’s forgotten the versions he tells to different people.

      I know exactly why his eyes are brown.

          It is always best to research your family tree and verify their names before you try to exploit them for political gain. Maybe get to know him, and get some actual true anecdotes straight from the uncle’s mouth.

          If the old man is still alive, as Obama claims, someone needs to hunt him up and interview him. I’ll bet he’s never met his (great?) nephew.

  • beebop

    This is what he said in his speec at the 2004 convention. So he’s been telling that lie about his father enlisting to great effect for more than four years. The man is a disgrace to anyone in a uniform and he should be called out. An apology is required. None of this half way nonsense. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor, my grandfather signed up for duty, joined Patton’s army, marched across Europe. Back home my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA and later moved west, all the way to Hawaii, in search of opportunity.

    Are we sure there were any bomber assemblies in Kansas?

    • AliceP

      Yes, Wichita is home of a Boeing aircraft plant.

      • beebop

        His grandparents lived in Kansas City … if she’s raising a baby alone, why would she move to Wichita? — of course, we have to assume that that part of the story is correct …. God, he’s a huge mess.

        • jan

          Well, yes and no. Not to defend Obama because I don’t like him and don’t plan to vote for him, but because I think facts need to be straight as far as known. Keeping the facts straight gives you credibility.

          According to wikipedia, the grandparents lived most of their lives in the Wichita area until his grandfather apparently enlisted and was sent halfway across the state to Fort Leavenworth which is near K.C. After that they started moving to other states.

          I think the Charles Payne story is incorrect. I just don’t know whether Obama lied (highly probable) or whether someone in his family sort of dressed things up as sometimes happens.

          I looked and couldn’t find anything that matched in the databases I looked at either. That said, we need to be careful that it doesn’t start to look like we’re going after an old man at the end of his life.

      The part about the aircraft assembly plant in Kansas is true. My mother is from Kansas and worked on the assembly line — as did her older sisters. She grew up in a small town in Kansas — you know on the the “white trash*” from Kansas.

      In fact my mother’s life pretty much parallels Obama’s grandmother’s life. Except that my mother was a “white trash” farm girl, who went to college, married and followed my career military father from Navy base to Navy base. My mother may have even met Obama’s grandmother in the course of banking at the bank where Obama’s grandmother became a VP. Kansas people find each other — and my mother never lost her Kansas accent.

      * Obama’s words = “white trash farm boys” — also GIRLS. Because with all the boys off to fight the war the women had to do the work of the men. This I believe is the roots of the post WWII feminist movement.

    More sloppy, after the fact, research. The 89th division lists C.T. Payne and not C.W. Payne.

    “Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf. Mr. Payne was there”

        I am extremely confused. All the genealogical info I have seen on Obama’s Uncle Charlie lists him as Charles W. Payne born ABT 1924.

    • Lady MacBeth Obama

      Actually although I think the Dem party will get it’s head out of it’s arse in time and nominate Hillary, if the era of stupid continues… I am warming to this idea of Hillary as an Independent.

      1) the dems have showed a true lack of leadership

      2) then Obratma, McCain and Hillary would be running…. the tape would come out to destroy Obama.

      3) it would then be between Hillary and McCain, as it should be.

      4) Hillary would win.

      • Hillary’s My Homegirl

        As much as I want Hillary to win. I honestly don’t see her running as an Indy.

        BUT I could see if “the tape” comes out and sinks Obama I could see the party maybe pulling it’s head out of Obama’s ass and tell him to step down as the nominee.

        Hillary takes the nomination and whips Gramps ass!

        • Gregoryp

          I think it will be a cold day in hell before they “let” Hillary have the nomination. If Obama is tripped up just before the convention they’ll find a stand in candidate to take his delegates, maybe Al Gore. They’ll do everything in their power to keep Hillary from winning at the convention. If he is the nominee and is tripped up after the convention they’ll find a stand in candidate. It definitely won’t be Hillary. In my opinion she needs to defect to the Green party or build her own party from scratch.

          • Ai1een

            Gregory – Wouldn’t they be too afraid to do that because of her popular vote numbers? Just wondering – but I’m not sure that they would risk that – but considering their behavior this primary season, who knows? As I said on another post, I wish Hillary would have pulled out and run Independent 2-3 months ago, but…hindsight is 20/20 I guess, especially when one is right in the middle of it – hard to get perspective – who could blame Hillary for not realizing that the majority of the DNC would totally ignore all the various facts that she’s the far superior candidate?

      There has been much rumblings about the emergence of a third party, a moderate party. I saw a book on it yesterday in Bainbridge Island (in my favorite book store!) The book is by Douglas Schoen, and it’s all about the surge of independent voters.. and how a viable third party is in our future.

      So.. HELL YA! I think hillary should tell the DNC where to go. She raised hundreds of thousands for the DNC candidates and they don’t do a think to help her. Screw ‘em.

    Why?? Because we know that Obama appeared with Bill Ayers at various gasbag academic panels on subjects like juvenile crime and the “role of public intellectuals”. Could there possibly be any audio, video, transcripts, photos or college newspaper coverage? Besides the potential goldmine of Obama gaffes it would “interesting” to actually hear or see Obama conversing with Ayers.

        Did he say that his grandmother lived in Kansas City and built bombers?

          Kansas City was their home town …. if you’re a supporter, you would know that. Take a look at the words in the 2004 speech. There are here twice. Or google it yourself. The WAPO printed them after it was delivered. That’s where I got it.

          • jangles

            My husband is an aerospace engineer, retired. He says the big assembly installation in Kansas for Boeing was in Wichita, not Kansas City. However, for security reasons components were made in installations all over the US, which may have included Kansas City. What was done in Wichita and Kansas City would have been assembly work (putting the planes together) not the manufacturing of them (bending the tin for the wings, fuselage etc). So she could have been employed in Kansas City on some kind of bomber assembly work, maybe. It would be more of a certainty if they were from Wichita. I thought the family was in banking. Wasn’t his grandmother a VP of a bank in Hawaii?

            • beebop

              Beats me …. I’m just trying to analyze Barky’s speech to the 2004 Democratic Convention where he made the statement that while his grandfather was off fighting, his grandmother was working on an assembly line and raising his mother. Pretty Saturday Evening Post, isn’t it?

          • demi

            I think you are the one who is mistaken. The Chicago Tribune, March 27, 2007:

            Then Madelyn met Stanley.

            Four years older, Stanley Armour Dunham lived 17 miles east, in El Dorado. In 1920, El Dorado, with a population of 12,000, seemed to exist solely for the purpose of drilling holes in the ground. And for good reason. In 1918, the El Dorado field produced 9 percent of the world’s oil production.

            The Dunhams were Baptists. Unlike the Paynes, Stanley Dunham did not come from the white-collar crowd. Gregarious, friendly, challenging and loud, “he was such a loose wheel at times,” said Clarence Kerns, from the El Dorado class of 1935. Others who knew Dunham described him as a salesman “who could charm the legs off a couch.”

            His marriage to Madelyn was one of those that acquaintances said spanned both sides of the railroad tracks, and Stanley was always placed on the wrong side. They secretly married on the spring weekend of the annual junior-senior banquet in 1940, Madelyn’s senior year, several weeks before graduation, according to friends. Continuing to live with her parents, Madelyn didn’t tell them about her marriage until she got her diploma in June. The news was not a big hit at the Payne family home, but parental objections didn’t matter.

            When World War II came, Stanley enlisted in the Army. Madelyn became a Rosie-the-Riveter at Boeing Co.’s B-29 production plant in Wichita. And Stanley Ann Dunham arrived in late November 1942.

    I seem to recall that 1) his grandfather didn’t speak much at all about the war, 2) his grandfather heard stories from others about the camp liberation (ie, he didn’t see it firsthand) 3) the 2002 speech which Obama based his candidacy on mentioned Auschwitz!

    It’s like horseshoes, close to the truth is good enough.

    • beebop

      The only section of the speech — it was 2004 — that referred to the war is this:

      Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor, my grandfather signed up for duty, joined Patton’s army, marched across Europe. Back home my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA and later moved west, all the way to Hawaii, in search of opportunity.

      • AF catfish

        Yeah but in his famous, courageous 2002 antiwar speech, whispered in an ultra liberal antiwar section of Chicago in which he was running for office, he mentioned his grandfather too. He said

        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.

    You know, being of two ethnic background, I can say that my “knowledge” about my cultures fascinate and intrigue people I meet. That said, if I were mean spirited, I can say whatever the hell I want about my background and most would believe me. That is what I see in Barry. He bullshits and lie about his background for those who eat up the notion that “wow, he’s so exotic! No one has his kind of unique background.”

    The thing that bothers me is that he knows he’s being taped and recorded but yet, says these things. The Selma story is the one that bothers me the most. He wants to trumpet his AA background but yet, can’t be bothered to know the true date of that important event. I mean, seriously, he talks about how his parents were caught up in it “…and a year later, barrack jr. was born.” He KNOWS his birth date is in 1941, and he should know Selma was in 1945. But yet, he stood there and lie to the AA community about it. It’s insulting. It’s like reciting that the fall of Saigon was in 1971 or the fall of the Berlin wall was in 1985. He missed it by a damn mile!

    Herein, an excerpt from “Underground”:

    “Under water grottos, caverns/ Filled with apes/ That eat figs./ Stepping on the figs/ That the apes/ Eat, they crunch./ The apes howl, bare/ Their fangs, dance,/ Tumble in the/ Rushing water,/ Musty, wet pelts/ Glistening in the blue.”

    This is a minor point, but every military family, or military brat knows what contribution their family members made during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc.

    I have found very few people who don’t know what their family did for the war effort. Especially, of Obama’s age.

    So, I find his military props quite lacking, even with the updated versions, which now appear to be even more lies.

    • beebop

      My dad served. He apparently had really terrible vision, but a body was a body. He worked at a desk job in Newport News. I think the term is “yoeman.” When other people speak of their dad’s war service with deserved pride (a former roommate’s father survived Pearl Harbor), I think of the impressive picture they took of my blind as a bat Dad without his glasses and a plane of some kind soaring overhead. Mom still has it. Certainly we know that many families were not as lucky. It is a disgrace to inflate military service — just as it is in Dick Cheney’s case to do everything conceivable to avoid serving.

      • Strawberry

        You’re right. This does not play well with military families. He’s trying to ingratiate himself with the military. It sickens me to no end. By glibbly spouting fictional tales about a family member’s record, he shows he has no respect for the service. Which is a telling sign he will have no respect for servicemen. My father has been dead for 13 years and I still hold on to what little paperwork I have of his service during WWW2, for my sons, and their children. I’m damned proud of my father’s record as a ship loading man during the battle of Midway.

Then he and his shipmates turned the ship around and pulled up the the “harbor” of Buchenwald. He abandoned the ship, joined the Russian army and rescued Jews.

    I’ve been puzzled by this statement about Obama in an old NYT article:

    Yet he declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/30/us/politics/30obama.html

    Has he never released his college transcripts? How bad could it be? Kerry and GW Bush both released theirs as I recall.

    • mimi

      I’m less curious about his grades and more curious abut his unwillingness to discuss his NY years, identify even one student or roommate. This to me is odd. It’s even odder still that he never joined Columbia’s Black Alumni Association, which is very vibrant. It’s also surprising that no one from his time here has stepped up to say they remember him. Sorry, but I’d make book he’s hiding something. I know of very few students who come to NY and don’t find something about it to enjoy on some level. There’s something here for everyone. And I mean everyone.

      And why’d he live so far, all the way on the East Side? And again I point out, he lived only a couple of blocks away from a major Islamic Center located off the FDR Drive. So in other words he treks all the way over to the West Side for daily classes at Columbia, but we aren’t supposed to wonder, (those New Yorkers who would know) if he chose those dwellings to be within walking distance of this Center? To me, this is just like the Ayers, Dohrn, Khaladi, Auchi, Rezko connections. He wants us all to believe that they’re all coincidences.

      Well I don’t believe in coincidences. Even one coincidence is a message from the Universe, a spiritual sign. This many coincidences, something’s up. And the Universe don’t have squat to do with it.

      Let me put it another way. If he’d release his transcripts, name a roommate and was a bit more forthcoming about his Columbia/NY years, then I’d put this to bed. Until he does that, I say this is something to seriously consider. What was really going besides classes at Columbia?

    I don’t really understand bringing one’s grand-uncle into a speech. He says he’s related to Cheney — I don’t hold that against him. By the same token, I don’t see how his grand-uncle being in WWII lends him any shine, I just don’t. We don’t pick our relatives.

    • Catriley

      And I’m related to Shakespeare, it doesn’t make me a good writer. I think the link to Cheney is distant, at best.

      His using his family stories to curry favor with various groups… aka all things to all people. Axelrove chooses things to make him seem appealing to whatever group he’s tanking with at the moment.

      The trouble is, when your media advisors tell you to say those things, you screw them up because they aren’t really coming from your heart — they’re coming from your media advisors version of the truth (or your ghost writer’s version that made you book seem more compelling.) Everything he does is for the sole purpose of getting elected.

      And frankly, I have zero respect for a guy that has an 80+ year old uncle in the same city as he resides, but he doesn’t fucking know him well enough to know these things, or get his name straight. I’m pretty sure an elderly relative would like some family contact…

        AND I bet the 80 year old Great Uncle is thrilled Nephew told the world he locked himself in the attick for 6 months just to get a couple votes, oh well what’s wrong with throwing old typical white relatives under the bus IF it means you might scam another person or 2 out of their votes. He really is a disgrace. (just HOW big is this damn bus? theres about 20 million people under it by now)
        Hey even my teen son couldn’t figure out how he could brag about his grandmom living in a hut in Kenya and had to borrow a TV, when the Obama’s made 4 million last year, they couldn’t have helped her if not build a nicer house at least buy her her own tv

  • D Johnson

    Can’t understand why O brings up his family’s WWII history in the first place – is this supposed to prove how knowledgeable he is about the military or show how much a war hero he is? It’s obvious he’s trying to pander veterans (and others) votes on the backs of his ancestors by impressing us with his vast military experience and historical knowledge. I read where he wears his USMC shirt often – maybe in hopes some of it will rub off. He was a joke; he is a joke and he will always be a joke.

    We’ve got to keep on the MSM to make this b.s. public knowledge before it’s too late.

    I have a subscription to Ancestry.com. Their military records have Dunham’s enlistment month as January. So, someone should probably check the original document or find a third source to verify which month is correct. It’s possible the original document was handwritten and the transcribers for the different record sources guessed at the handwriting. It happens quite often in my experiences with archived records.

    WHERE’S THE MSM’S RAGE???

    Hillary referred to an Historical FACT and was bloodied all week for it. This FRAUD blatantly LIED and we have SILENCE from them now?

  • jangles

    Whatever the truth of this is or isn’t, it seems to me that this was a very clumsy attempt of Obama to try to get family creds with WWII history. What I find remarkable is that Obama writes an entire book in honor of his father who bamboozled his mother and left him behind. He does not seem to want to own or give any value to his white side of the family. The family was obviously very loosely structured; most families are very clear about WWII family stories.

    • beebop

      He has so romanticized his father and his father’s family that he totally overlooked anything having to do with his mother and her people. But now that he needs some of the history they provide, he is rummaging through their closets and doing a terrible job pulling items out.

      It would have been enough to speak in broad terms and refer to a work camp. But he’s OBAMA so he has to make things BIG BIG BIG and in so doing, lays the groundwork for his own comeuppance. He didn’t seem to realize that Memorial Day was not about him. That is the biggest issue I had with the things he did and said. It’s not always about Barry all the time.

      • jim aaron

        Obama resents the fact that his mother is white, he wishes he could purge that white blood from his veins. It doesn’t seem that his mother was a big fan of America either.

  • Leslie S

    All of this phoney outrage about Hillary’s comment is just that – phoney. Hillary brought up an historical reference to June campaigns, citing a date that sadly sticks in everyone’s mind to prove her point. Inartful, probably. But, it is the MSM and Obama’s campaign itself that brought up and actively MARKETED the possibility of an Obama assassination – SHAME ON THEM!

    • jangles

      Let’s start setting the record straight on the assassination fairy tale scare. Whose campaign office was invaded by a mentally ill person threatening suicide and hostages? Whose campaign offices were set on fire? Whose campaign office in NC experienced an event that appeared to be some type of drive-by shooting? The name of the candidate begins with a C not an O. Further on assasination—in the random shootings that took place I think in VA by 2 AA’s, the victims I believe were all whites and I think some were at gas stations. Every time we hear that stuff coming from the O camp we need to come back with some reality.

  • karen for Clinton

    That’s why his books are pure fabrications throughout and why he admits he just made stuff up.

    There was an article in the NY Times about his passage from his book that spoke of meeting his sister for the first time in an airport and exotic people and going through customs artistic writing.

    THE TRUTH was he actually met her at a bus station because she landed in america in another city and took a greyhound to where they met.

    I read a blog a few weeks ago from a person that worked at a Newsletter Pubisher in N.Y. with Obama. In one of Obama’s books he mentions working there and writes about his position and responsibilities, which was mostly B.S. according to the blogger. The best part was reading the comments at the blog because about 5 others that worked at the publisher made extensive comments and agreed with the blogger. In one passage Obama talks about looking at his reflection in the elevator doors, wearing a sharp suit, briefcase in hand, imagining himself a Captain of industry. This is after a meeting with a German bond trader, but the problem is he NEVER wore a suit to work and NEVER went anywhere to meeting. He was a low-level employee. The Blog was called Analyze This, very funny reading.

    Its really kind of pitiful that Obama thinks that he needs to embellish his family history. It isn’t necessary, yet he does it anyway.

    OBAMA LIES ABOUT A RELATIVE ON HIS MOTHER’S SIDE OF THE FAMILY…….AND JUST PRETENDS THAT HIS FATHERS SIDE DOESN’T EXIST……WELL GUESS WHAT THEY DO……THEY ARE MUSLIM…….SOME ARE RADICALS…..SOME ARE HIGHLY INVOLVED IN OVERTHROWING THE KENYAN GOVERNMENT

    …….while this lie has received some coverage, predictably it has been mostly glossed over my the main stream media……typical pattern Barack makes a gaffe………maybe intentional, maybe not……..the media forgives him…..and everyone is supposed to forget……….

    So as Obama begins to make his family members part of his campaign stump speeches……I think it is only fair that the media begin to examine the background of his WHOLE family. Not surprisingly, it’s primarily only on fact-based blogs….which piece together fact-based articles, and research……..where you can find detail about Obama’s Kenyan family…Or Barack’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro………you know, the predominately Muslim side/sides of his family…….

    Well here is a quick overview of some of the Family:

    Barack Hussein Obama Sr:
    -Barack Obama’s Father
    -Harvard PhD. Senior Economist for Kenyan government
    -Religion: Muslim
    -Had 3 wives. Also, had 7 children aside from Barack.
    -Died in a car accident,1982

    Lolo Soetoro:
    -Barack Obama’s Stepfather, Obama’s mother’s second husband, who she would later divorce
    -Indonesian Oil Executive
    -Religion: Muslim
    -Died of Liver Ailment, 1987

    Obongo (Roy) Obama
    -Barack Obama’s Half-Brother, Barack Hussein Obama Sr.’s son
    -Former Christian, radical muslim convert
    -Supporter of Odinga (the cousin) and wants to institute Sharia law
    -Marxist (believed to have been educated in Soviet Union)
    -wants Barack to convert “back” to Islam and to throw off his western beliefs and find his African roots
    -rabidly anti-Israel
    -Here Barack Describes Roy in his book “Dreams from My Father”

    Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama:
    -Barack’s Maternal Grandmother
    -3rd wife of Barack’s Paternal Grandfather
    -Religion: Muslim
    -Still Living in Kenya today-apparently very engaged in the 2008 election.

    Odinga:
    -Claims to be Barack Obama’s Paternal Cousin, claim has not been denied by Barack Obama
    -made campaign promise to institute Sharia law in muslim territories
    -recieved campaign financing from Khadafi
    -Obama campaigned on his behalf to such an extent that Kenya made a formal complaint to State Dept.
    -attempted a coup after he lost the election
    -Marxist educated in Soviet Union
    -rabidly anti-Israel
    -Obama and Odinga communicate frequently, and spent time together when Obama visited Kenya in 2006.

    The intention of this article is not to imply that having Islamic ancestry, lineage, or family members, disqualifies one from the Presidential race…….of course, IT DOES NOT….

    But what my intention is……….is to show………that Obama and his campaign have essentially put any, and all questions…………relating to his name, heritage, religion, upbringing……….off limits……furthermore, in not discussing Obama’s full background, the media has decided to fully comply with the Obama orders……..what happened to free speech?……what happened to a free, fair, and honest media?……

    Finally, why is the man who is going to to bring “transparency” to Washington………leading a campaign that attacks the media, or opposing politicians………..anytime there is an attempt to make his background a little less murky?

    • bigkitty

      What is the connection between modern day marxism, and anti-Israeli sentiment?

      Are the Africans anti-Israeli because of the Muslim influence?

      And how does modern day Russia view Israel, or, (oh, brother) the Jewish people?

      (I can’t believe I have to write this, civilized nations should be PAST anti-Semitism).

  • K. Wynne

    This is a prime example of “creating a candidate” through marketing. Marketed to bamboozle the American people once again, just like they did with GWB. In fact, to give GW that “authenticity” he was lacking in real life, they built the faux Crawford Ranch to act as a backdrop. I bet, once he leaves office, that ranch will be gone. After all, GW did buy 93,000 acres of land in Paraguay, perhaps to make his escape, once Hillary gets into the White House and finds out the extent to which GW & Cheney, et al. have committed treason against the U.S. and its citizens.

      The clearest comment in this entire thread. No “let’s light a candle for Hillary” or “HILLARY WILL WIN” but just stating the facts as they are. What’s gone wrong is both the HRC supporters and the official HRC workers have played this one too clean and refused to see what their opponents were doing. And not it’s close to being too late. You have to fight dirty to beat a Rove and you have to fight dirty to beat an Axelrod too. At the very least you should understand your enemy. But it seems all too few do that. Time and again people ask questions about their motivations in here. Their motivations are transparent. Bush won in 2004 but Gore also lost. Let’s not let that happen again.

    Barack Obama spoke about Auschwitz back in 2002 in his speech against the Iraq War:

    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.

    He can’t claim fatigue as an excuse because the ability to function under pressure is certainly one of the prime qualities we would hope to see in a President.

    And whatever Obama thinks he might gain from telling these tall tales, if he is thinking at all, is fairly trivial. But then if a person can’t be trusted about small things, how can they be trusted about major things like war and peace.

It’s easier to make up family history. How can he really admit his parents are really Mork and Mindy? Nanoo Nanoo, Barack!

    Here’s a picture of Barack’s grandfather.

    you know, i find it interesting that when it suits him, obama pulls his white relatives out a hat to make him look good, but also has no problem being bigoted against white people(including his granny) by calling them rascist for his own political gain.

    he gets to have it both ways.

    not.

    This is OT but very important. Let’s follow Hillary’s lead on this.

    5/28/2008
    Why Hillary is the Strongest Candidate

    *In a letter and memo sent to superdelegates today, Hillary lays out the case for why she is the strongest candidate to put together a winning coalition and beat John McCain in the Fall.

    *Hillary has earned more votes than anyone in the history of the Democratic primaries, and she will lead in the popular vote with more than 17 million ballots cast when the primaries conclude on June 3rd.

    *Not only is Hillary the top vote-getter, poll after poll shows she fares better against Sen. McCain in large swing states than Sen. Obama. She is the only candidate winning in the battlegrounds of Ohio and Florida.

    *Hillary’s candidacy has attracted a broad coalition of new voters. In fact, the highest increases in turnout have come among her core supporters – millions of new women, Latinos and people over 45 voted in the primaries for the first time.

    *In the coming days, superdelegates will have a clear choice: who is ready to serve as President on day one and who is best able to beat John McCain in November? When you look at her wins in the important swing states and her strength against Sen. McCain in head-to-head matchups, there’s no question that Hillary is the strongest candidate.

      It was a very impressive letter!!! So impressive, in fact, that 4 superdelegates promptly endorsed Obama today. Maybe they are all old-fashioned? Maybe they think primaries and caucuses should decide the nominee rather than Gallup polls? Maybe they don’t like being bullied by Hillary to endorse her? Maybe they are worried about their own electoral prospects if Hillary is the nominee? Heavens knows my Republican friends want her to be the nominee!

  • Am I Blue?

    While the “gaffe” Obama made about his “uncle” helping liberate Auschwitz is causing a buzz, people are missing the irony of the situation and his total lack of being able to show empathy or connect to his audience. His stammering attempt to show his own personal family narrative of the effects of PTSD on individuals who serve and experience traumatic events during war, as he tried to convey how he has some personal family experience which helps him understand veterans pain, was being delivered to a group of veterans in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

    Las Cruces is the home of the only federally funded Bataan Death March Memorial Monument! 1,800 men from the 200th and 515th New Mexican National Guard were part of the Bataan Death March. Considering that Sen. Obama made a truly disgusting analogy at the end of March, at a $1000 a plate private fund raiser in NYC, telling those in attendance that the campaign might feel like “a Bataan death march” but not to worry the future looks bright, you would think he would have tried to mend some fences. Made some attempt to make amends for making such callous and shallow comments.

    It is as if he and his campaign staff are on total disconnect. Standing addressing a group of veterans on Memorial Day in a place that commemorates the Men who endured the Bataan Death March, he addresses PTSD and relates it to an “uncle” who served in the Army in Europe in WWII and experienced seeing the horrors of Auschwitz…which couldn’t be true, but anyway…. hey WWII was a lo-o-ong time ago and who can find out how factual what he’s talking about is …what do you mean anybody can go to the National Archives search engine online and check out WWII enlistment cards?

    Yet……

    How inexperienced a politician do you have to be to squander the opportunity to connect with the audience of Veterans and their families who may have taken offense at your thoughtless remark comparing a political campaign to the atrocious event that happened to American and Filipino troops on Bataan?
    Here was the perfect opportunity to show his empathy. Here was the perfect opportunity to speak about how important the treatment of veteran soldiers suffering PTSD truly is.Here was the opportunity to show his understanding of lessons learned by those events like Bataan in WWII. He could have spoken about how those American troops who were in the Philippines when the Japanese attacked 9 hours after Pearl Harbor in December 1941, fought gallantly with antiquated equipment left over from WWI, on half rations, holding off the Japanese for months before being forced to surrender in the spring of 1942. He could have spoken about the torture and cruelty they endured as POW’s. The horrors of being starved, tortured, watching their fellow soldiers die from decapitation, untreated  illnesses, beatings, being set on fire,… How after enduring the Bataan Death March those soldiers watched as their comrades died from disease because there was no medicine, little food, contaminated water. And after all those horrors, that was only the prelude. They later were herded into the holds of what became known as “Hell Ships”so tightly they  had no room to move, given little food or water, and transported to Japan to be used as slave labor. And he could have spoken about the ones who survived the 3 and a half years of these horrors to finally be rescued, many wasted away to nothing but skin and bone, like walking skeletons. And the ones who survived and did come home were nursed back to physical health but no one knew about PTSD at the end of WWII. They were left to resume their lives and deal with the memories and the nightly screaming nightmares as best they could for the rest of their lives. Some committed suicide after they returned, some tried to adjust and took up alcohol to try to keep the demons at bay, some learned to just make it from day to day and couldn’t talk about the memories. (By the way, the organization they formed to support each other after the war, the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor (ADBC) just had their 63rd (next year will be their last formal convention. The baton will be transferred to their descendants) Annual Convention the first week in May in Louisville, KY. Hillary Clinton surprised them by dropping by to talk with them.)

    But Obama, who appears to make up fanciful war stories, didn’t drop by….. it was in Kentucky after all. And he squandered his opportunities once again on Memorial Day in New Mexico.

    Unfortunately, he doesn’t appear to have the ability to move outside of his own personal bubble and realize it isn’t about him. He is astonishingly clueless. He continues to show that he knows so little about so many things. Is it any wonder he is having such a problem connecting with large segments of the Democratic base? Not his new recruits, but the old tried and true.

    What are the DNC and those super de duper delegates thinking?

In reality, it was no more dangerous than going shopping at the local mall.

        • Amy

          There are a number of sources who say that Clinton grossly exaggerated her story. That rules her version out as far as credibility is concerned. The fact that the whole exchange was caught on camera and that the clips have been played suggest it was a normal “diplomatic nicety” affair with no danger associated with it. Sinbad said the only danger was local food disagreeing with the eaters. Given all these sources, I’m inclined to believe she made it up. I’d say I have more credibility than those who claim that this non-existent tape exists. You see, wishful thinking ain’t evidence.

          • Amy

            Most polls show people in MI and FL are just not interested in the seating of MI and FL delegations. The only ones who are seem to be hyper-devoted Clinton fans: indeed, evidence suggests many Michiganders and Floridians think that their states should be sanctioned. Alas for Hillbilly, the sense of fair play endemic amongst Americans cannot be so easily overwritten to support the megalomania of one individual! Most Hillary supporters will support Obama – only the very few in the loudest Hillary echo chambers will not. Their numbers are too small to make an impact though. Did you see that KOS diary which showed that the most recent 10,000 posts at hillaryis44 have been made by just over 350 people? Amazing.

            • Mary

              No, Amy.

              Most polls show that people in Florida and Michigan are FURIOUS that their votes won’t count, and are saying they won’t vote in November, either.

              Or they might vote for McCain.

              You can just take it to the bank, Amy: Obama will NOT carry Michigan or Florida.

              They KNOW he blocked their revotes.

            • http://deleted AnninCa

              Sure, which is why she is way out in front in polls with head-to-head in FL with Mccain and Obama loses today. Do you even think before you type?

        • Nancy

          One of the reasons I’m a Dem is because I give a damn about people other than myself. One of the reasons I support Obama is because I believe he actually gives a damn about things other than securing the top job (which is one reason why young voters like myself have supported him and not Hillary) – I get the impression that Hillary’s beliefs are too strongly correlated with where she happens to be campaigning that day. I did chuckle at your “out of business” comment – but the prospect of a McCain presidency is just too damn dangerous – for all women – to risk having Hillary running against him.

          • http://deleted AnninCa

            Guess those head-to-head polls are too complex for you to follow, huh?

            Inform yourself. You’re backing a loser.

            • Amy

              Not too complex at all. Indeed, it’s well known that there’s a “dead cat’s bounce” whenever someone who’s basically lost is still in the race. This is nothing new and has been observed in many countries – not just the US Dems in 2008. Some of the more respected bloggers have commented extensively on this. Enjoy the bounce whilst it lasts. Besides, if you look at electoral-vote.com, which has a simpler vote model than fivethirtyeight.com, both Dems beat McCain. The better model of Poblano relies on multivariate analysis, rather than treating each poll as an equally-weighted datum point (because it’s ludicrous to suggest ARG is as good as SurveyUSA). This produces more realistic models and suggests Obama will do even better than electoral-vote.com suggests, though he includes proxies for education etc. which refine the numbers. In any case, it’s still early days and I don’t pay too much attention to polls unless the election is within 2 weeks and if the CEO of the polling firms isn’t a Hillary donor.

Bear in mind these will all work for free – Donkey McCain will have to pay to compete in all these states. He’ll bleed votes to the Libertarian candidate too. To top that off, I just do not think that 35% comes from anywhere – which constituency will Obama lose? Which Dem constituency will vote McCain over Obama? Not white working class males – they’ve tended to be Republicans anyway (which is why KY is as Red as they come and WV leans GOP). Sorry – I just don’t see it. I agree, he’ll lose the loudest Clinton supporters, who will ignore Clinton even when she endorses Obama in a few weeks.

                      When people talk about past elections and people come together and vote for the party even if they say they won’t, they are wrong here. Usually it is a matter of they just don’t like the other candidate, but in the end think they are better than the alternative. BUT in this case MANY Hillary supporters think McCain is the 2nd best choice, since he isn’t friends with terrorists and didn’t go to a racist church for 20 years and doesn’t seem to believe in anything but Obama. He won’t fight for any of the core Dem valvues, like UHC or that silly thing about counting EVERY vote. But go on believing.

    Must I always school you people! In Obamanese, uncle, means one’s play uncle. Haven’t you ever heard of play relatives. It is verly popular in our culture. You get caught driving around town with a woman, and you confess that she is a cousin, then when you get caught lying about that, you say she is your play cousin. Like a family friend, so close she might as well be a cousin, a play uncle. The thing is, since all the players are dead, no one can come up with this play uncle’s name.

  • Kitty Glendower

    Charles T Payne was Obama’s great, great grandfather – the father of his grandfather.

    The father of a grandfather is one’s great grandfather, not great great grandfather.

    Barack, how can someone who is supposedly so smart, can be so wrong about family history.

    Good rhetorical question Larry! But we all know the answer. Axelrod and Barry both know people never check the facts and they also forget real fast.

    I have to tell you Senator Obama: you’ve just become my hobby. You are a dangerous illogical inaccurate and I think soulless pandering fool.

    Well, that takes care of three uncles….NEXT!

    Anyone check out the Obama clan in Kenya and where they were during World War II because, although Rommel was in Egypt, Kenya was British territory and kept German POWs there. So it is likely that if one of the Obama clan was in the British military they would remain in Africa… unless they somehow got into Rommel’s army which makes it even less likely that they would have been involved in the liberation of any concentration camps.

    • Nicole

      Well, yeah, but I don’t think it was a Kenyan uncle. They don’t have attics in Kenya.

      • C. S.

        Since they are out of American uncles, the only ones left to investigate are the Obama uncles and they are never mentioned. Nothing about Obama’s past makes sense; it’s like he invented himself and his family history.

  • Dread_Lord

    I have an Ancestory.com account and Obama does have a family record in there. Apparently it is Charles T. Payne and the guy was born in 1861. That would make him about 80 years old around 1940. A little old for WWII no?

    Hey POdvet, yeah I know thats what they say but from what I checked about Obama the uncle he is talking about is simply Charles Payne and no middle initial is givent. The only other Charles Payne in that family would be Charles t. Payne who would be 80 by the time they were liberating camps. The only military record I could find out of Kansas was Charles W. Payne born around the same time as Charles Payne (Around 1925) and thats what I posted above. That guy is dead.

    It was Charles’ uncle Richard that said he was still alive or the media that simply indicated that Charles was still alive but if there is only one Charles W. Payne that entered the military from Kansas (Or any charles payne for that matter) then that would have to be him.

    • beebop

      Gus:

      I’m thinking you’re maybe 23 tops and this is the first election you have ever paid attention to. Here are some answers not in any order:

      1. I hope that any young lady who meets you is on birth control, regardless of what happens to roe v. wade … which Senator McCain is not threatening. When Senator Obama used the expression “punished with a baby,” he pretty much lost me.

      2. Larry edits out people as vulgar as you usually. That is why this site is now going to registration.

      3. The only “closeness” of their platforms is when he sits next to her and repeats what she says. Since you aren’t a Democrat of any long standing, I’m going to bet that you don’t know that lots of people marched to guarantee the right to vote. People died. Democrats don’t advocate disenfranchising voters. That is the “no go” as far as I am concerned with Senator Obama.

      I have been polite and considerably more sane with you than you have been. Why don’t you take your arguments back to the “usual” places you frequent and complain about Senator Clinton’s supporters there where everyone will use the crude language with which you are comfortable and pat you on the back?

      Buh-bye.

    Straight from the mouth of a vet who was there, the man who maintains the website honoring the service of the 89th Infantry Division during the WWII:

    http://www.89infdivww2.org/

    Concerning the service of Mr. Charles Payne: C.T. Payne was a soldier in the 89th Infantry Division. He served in the 355th Infantry Regiment, Company K. The 355th Infantry Regiment was the unit to liberate Ohrdruf. Mr. Payne was there.

    For those who seek to minimize the horrors of Ohrdruf since it was a ‘work’ camp and not a ‘death’ camp, we have but one word: shame. Ironically, this argument has been made to us time and time again by various Holocaust-deniers and other pro-Nazi groups. We will let the testimony of survivors and veterans speak for themselves.

    So I guess you all owe Obama, Uncle Charlie and the vets of WWII an apology. You can start below.

    In the meantime, Hillary continues to duck from sniper fire in Bosnia…

  • Dread_Lord

    I don’t think so slick. No Charles T. Payne enlisted out of Kansas where Charlie Payne lived.

    • John

      Although we were not able to reach Payne directly, Payne’s son, Richard Payne, said his father “definitely served in the 89th Infantry Division” and confirmed that Obama’s account was substantially accurate, except for identifying the wrong concentration camp. Richard Payne declined to say anything further.

      Researchers confirmed to PolitiFact that Army personnel records for Payne would have been destroyed in a 1973 fire that consumed many such archives, but they dug up a “Morning Report” dated April 11, 1945, showing Pfc. Charles T. Payne was assigned to the 355th Regiment Infantry, Company K. The Records Center provided a copy of the report. A faxed copy provided to PolitiFact was legible enough for us to make out Payne’s information, but the faxed photocopy of the record is too grainy to be of use if posted here.

      http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/may/28/right-soldier-wrong-camp/

      You can post your apology below. Assuming you have any honor at all.

  • POdVet

    By this point you have to figure even the Obamatons realize he flat out lied, but they continue to rehash the proven lie he tried to cover the first proven lie. I honestly belive, God could open up the heavens and come floating down with a herald of 100,000 angels trumpeting and say Obama is a liar. And these Obamatons would say NO!

    I don’t have a strong preference between Clinton and Obama (though I have been outraged at the sexist treatment Clinton’s received). But the tone of posts on this topic play into every negative trope I’ve heard about Clinton and about Dems/lefties/progressives generally.

    I believe we ought to be above this sort of behavior in any event. But even in practical terms, isn’t this kind of attack politics just doing McCain’s work for him? Does anyone here really prefer McCain and his policies to Obama and his? If Clinton has strengths that make her the better candidate (I prefer her health plan, for instance), then by all means her supporters should push them. But calling the other candidate names (particularly over something so unrelated to policy) — I just don’t see that it accomplishes anything positive.

    When this whole thing started, I guess you failed to notice that Hillary stopped by a diner and talked with Owner/Operators who were protesting high fuel prices while she was in PA?

    She has also stated just last week that the gas tax holiday would be a major benefit to both truckers and other people who make their living with vehicles.

    Those facts should be of no concern to the average Joe Obama supporter. Since that only describes all of the truckers in America. It is just too much fun making jokes at the expense of the people it would help to save $30.

    But since you like to laugh at those people’s woes. How about you focus on the truckers who have brought you everything you are touching and looking at right now? Or how about you focus on the food you ate today? And realize that those people who bring you all of those products, are hurting, and have been for quite some time now. They’ve been absorbing the cost of fuel for a few years now. She was offering some relief for these small businesses and others to get healthier financially.

    If all of those small trucking companies go out of business, the large companies no longer have to compete and shipping prices will go even higher…for everything. It is due to Owner/Operators that small businesses have price choices for their shipping needs, instead of going to the big guys.

    Now, if you think that small businesses and truckers still have no impact on your life. You are ignoring the facts that small businesses employ one of the largest segment of Americans. And that a truckers strike over high fuel prices brought Italy to it’s knees in TWO DAYS, with an injunction needed to stop it at day three rather than five.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/bondsNews/idUSL1188512520071211

    Maybe just maybe…you can wrap your brain around the fact. That even if the gas tax holiday only gave the regular citizen $30, which is a large amount to a lot of people. Hillary might be saving the country from a larger trucker strike which would shut down parts of the country. Either way, if it gets passed or not, at least Hillary was listening to those truckers and small business owners. And didn’t sign Cheney’s energy bill like Obama did.

    Your insults and ignorance of that gas tax holiday and the people it would help…..only reflects poorly on you.
