REVEALED: Axelrod’s Links to Pfleger and the Freakshow

Is David Axelrod the Wizard of Oz operating the theatrics of Obama’s looney Trinity United church?

Axelrod, Obama’s media guru and ventriloquist (“Just words!”), is intimately linked to the controversial renegade Catholic priest and Obama “spiritual adviser” Father Michael Pfleger.

Not only has Pfleger been prominently listed on Obama’s official advisory committee, but he also has been recruited by Obama to campaign for him beginning in Iowa and around the country as an official campaign surrogate. Obama has had a 20 year relationship with him, as long as his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And it’s no surprise that Pfleger is one of Wright’s closest allies and friends–and that both of them are the closest allies and friends of none other than Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Pfleger and Wright are promoters and defenders of the hate-monger Obama consistently and respectfully calls “MInister Farrakhan.” Farrakhan is a big backer of Obama’s candidacy–and has been a supporter throughout his entire political career.

To this day, the press corps, in Chicago and nationally, has not done basic reporting on Obama’s ties to the Nation of Islam despite repeated reports that he has hired members of the hate group for his campaign and Senate Office and that Farrakhan has been one of his most important political props in South Chicago from the start of his political career.

Axelrod, Chicago string-puller and corporate lobbyist, is one of the connections among this motley crew. It turns out that he’s on the fundraising committee for Pfleger’s church. Axelrod obviously has no second thoughts about Pfleger’s flagrant appearances with Farrakhan, who he brings to the church to rail against the evil of white people. And Obama obviously has not even whispered to Axelrod that it might just be a bit inappropriate for his top handler to be so closely associated with anti-Semitic, racist and anti-American hate mongers.

Which, of course, brings us to Obama’s anti-Semitic, racist and anti-American church.

After Rev. Wright’s “God damn America!” festival of hate was exposed, guess who came to dinner? David Axelrod, no doubt with the approval and encouragement of Obama, stepped up to the plate to attempt to rescue the church from its PR disaster. Axelrod arranged the church’s hiring of one of his political allies in Chicago, a political and corporate public relations firm, Jasculca Terman, to guide the church’s image.

Did Axelrod get a commission? How much? How much is the church paying Axelrod’s pals? Nobody has come clean yet. And what does Obama know and when did he know it?

(See “Senior Obama Adviser Asked Top Public Relations Firm To Help Wright’s Church.”)

In effect, the Obama campaign, through Axelrod, has subcontracted image management of the Trinity church to a connected ally. Welcome to Chicago.

Then Father Pfleger mounted the pulpit last Sunday to stage his racist and misogynist minstrel show in white face.

It’s back to the drawing board for Axelrod, Obama & Co.

The Obama freakshow can’t be controlled.

Ready, Democrats?

  • WestPalm4Hillary

    Unfortunately, superdelegates who actually care about the Democratic party are being held hostage by threats of violence if they overturn the will of the “people,” even if by “the people,” the Obamabots mean the fuzzy math that goes into weighing delegates-per-caucus goer MUCH higher than delegates-per-primary voter.

    It’s why Puerto Rico is so important. Why Hillary having a popular vote lead WITHOUT Florida and Michigan is so important. SHE IS THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE… Obama is the choice of the fuzzy math delegates.

    At any rate, we need more stories to come out and Obama needs to literally TANK in the polls before the convention. His “favorability” rating has shot up recently, and is on par or surpasses the supposedly “divisive” Hillary’s unfavorability ratings.

    Hillary has been wise to lay off Obama, and let the Republicans slowly poke holes in Obama. They haven’t let loose entirely yet on Obama, but it’s going to get worse for him, and I for one will enjoy watching it.

    Puerto Rico, say it with me: NUNCA VOTARE POR OBAMA!

    • s. hall

      Two days ago I heard on Lou Dobbs that Hillary is only leading by 15% in Puerto Rico. He says that 50% of Puerto Ricans are not going to vote. Interesting if true, that Obama doesn’t want Hillary’s popular vote totals to be high and now we hear that 50% of Puerto Ricans are not going to vote at all.

      • uhh somehow this notion that I am qualified to be president is uhh uhh ridiculous

        Any truth to the stories that Obama is saying the race is over and voters there should not waste the time an d money?

      • pmo

        I read on a couple of other sites that Obama has run ads in the main newspapers in Puerto Rico stating that he is already the nominee so their votes will be “wasted” if they vote for Hillary. He is telling them to vote for him since Hillary is basically “out of the running now”. I am told that a lot of Puerto Ricans think that this is true -since it is in the papers- so they are not going to bother going to the polls to vote. Obama is just using more of his dirty Chicago-style politics!!

    Hello Super Delegates! Nancy Pelosi! Idiot Dean! Are you paying attention.

    • standard

      There was a time when I thought HRC should pick Obama as her vice president.
      But now realize there’s too much Vice around him for even that position.
      Obama is untouchable, and would wreck her chances.

      • HARP

        True enough. Crazy Wright and Father Phlegm would bring her down.

      • kanaughty

        yeah she would be constantly fixing his mistakes instead of doing things for the american people. it is as if she would have to be his mommy or something… really i can’t believe people are still liking obama after all these horrible relationships all around him, racists and radicals. this is crazy, the kool aid gets stronger and stronger and it is sickening.

    Now that’s funny.

    Go to the first link, which leads to the cached page from St. Sabina’s. If you look at the cache, David Axelrod’s name is the first one you see on the left.

    BUT if you follow the link to download a printable copy of the letter as a pdf, Axelrod’s name does not appear.

    So what happened between the HTML and pdf versions of the letter? Presumably one came from the other…

          I agree that he is going to get crushed in the general election. I see him not even winning Ill. I think its going to be a complete disaster for the entire Democratic party because the fate of the top of the ticket really does affect the bottom down. All of the memebers of the house are up for reelection and I think the republicians are going to have a majority in both seats because I see angry democrats punishing Dems in the fall

    Do you have in your hand a list?

    Tell me, again as usual I ask for empirical, contextualized intelligence…why is Obama a hatemonger for the people with whom he may or may not have been associated (and Larry is libelling the senator by linking him with Farakhan) but you are all OK with a human rights abusing thug who will do “everything he can” to make sure that Obama is not elected, hinting at how he likes “the second amendment.”

    Various organizations have been informed about this blog. I have it on good authority that even Hilary’s campaign doesn’t approve.

    • workingclass artist

        For shame.

    • ritamary

      tootsky: Various organizations have been informed about this blog???? What does that mean? Sounds like a threat. Should commenters be worried? Should I keep my doors locked? Should I watch my back when I go outside? Or the threat is aimed just at Larry? Please explain…

      What do Obamalamadingdongs not understand? Obama’s closest friends and advisers are racist, misogynist hate-mongers. Can it be made any clearer for you people or you just done care?

      Senator Bernie Sanders just said on Thom Hartman’s radio program that Obama will be the nominee. There is no way I can be a member of the Democratic Party any longer.

    • s. hall

      tootsky — its not our fault Obama is dirty. He came out of nowhere promising a new kind of politics but what we have seen him do is split the Democratic Party and paint white workers as racist. You blame the bloggers but you should blame the media. These stories are out there but the MSM refuses to cover them.

      The only people Obama hangs with are the race baters and America haters. And isn’t it amazing that he has known all these people for 20 years. The man has no shame but then neither does the Democratic Party who is pushing this dirty politican into the nomination.

    • kanaughty

      who the heck are you tootsky, because obama goes to this church for 20 years and he has listened to this hate for 20 years, so even if he is not close associates, though he is, he sat there quiet and listened to it… he is weak. if he disagreed, he should have left the church or spoke out… so obviously this is the kind of leader he will be, one that sits by and lets everyone around him do all the dirty work without saying a word or getting stuff done at all. he is a puppet…

      • s. hall

        kanaughty — I disagree that Obama is weak. I think this image of Obama was manufactured years ago. You think with racists and America hating pals like this he doesn’t have an agenda?

        Remember Obama’s Foreign Policy Advisor (by the way most of his FP advisors are anti Israel) Amanda Power said that Obama doesn’t believe in electionocracy. He would like less elections because it confuses people. However, he has to deal with the current members of Congress because he can’t do nothing about them. A man full of hate who doesn’t believe in elections. Now where have I heard that before?????????

    And beyond a minority of folks who wouldn’t vote for Obama anyway – no one cares about your “revelations”. no one wants 100 more years of war. If Larry Johnson does, then he can go ahead and find himself a Sirhan, as he no doubt fantasizes.

    • Disgusted

      Obama has never lived up to one campaign promise in his entire life. As a resident of Chicago, no one knows this better than I do. Are you really saying that we should vote for this racist clown so that he can break that promise too? Obama will accomplish nothing as POTUS. Oh wait that’s not entirely true. His Chicago buddies will get richer. Jesus are people really this blind?

        • Disgusted

          Yes I would. Tootsky, I see and live everyday the kind of mess that Obama carries with him. The man and his cronies are an absolute joke. Illinois politics is probably the most corrupt in the country. I honestly believe that the last 8 years will be nothing compared to Obama and the Chicago Machine taking over the White House. In a perfect world Obama will lose the election (even to McCain ) and some of this Chicago crap will come to light and people will go to jail. I for one am tired of paying for all this shit.

    • http://deleted AnninCa

      Keep whistling in the dark over there. In the meantime, the DNC will be hosting thousands of Hillary supporters tomorrow, and they all are saying the same thing. They’ll vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee.

      McCain got great press today. He’s the new Barry Goldwater. Finally, the man’s moderate stances are about to pay off for the Republicans in a big way. I even saw a great piece on how his judicial appointments are likely to be very acceptable to a lot of moderate Democrats.

      Obama hit 52 disapproval rating today. Imagine that. The Golden Boy is not exactly winning over people strutting around with the crown on his head, branded by Pelosi and Company. Seems people don’t like the fella and are liking him less and less.

      But you can believe, as Obama does apparently, that it’s just a few “sore losers.”

      I hope he continues to ignore the problem. In fact, I’m counting on it. His ego wouldn’t allow him to see the writing on the wall.

      Anyone arrogant enough to name this priest as part of his campaign group is simply too bizarre to be considered seriously.

      I think the head-to-head polls next week will show an even more serious dip, particularly when people get wind that he’s using the same tactics with SDs as in caucuses.

      The dam is just about to break entirely.

      Wait until you hear what’s really been going on.

      It’s going to be the doozy story of a lifetime.

      A picture is worth a 1000 words, and this little story from Texas is a picture of what the new politics looks like. It looks a lot like old school Chicago politics.

      Not too long ago there were a couple of posts saying Obama was in trouble now because hed made “the sisters” mad. I’m a thinking black women aren’t too fond of Obama. On the other hand, at his point “the sisters” might be a band of disgruntled nuns that don’t want to see the obamadisaster anywhere near Washington. Hard to tell with his disapproval rating soaring.

  • http://deleted AnninCa

    I’m amazed by the lack of judgment in linking himself to this priest at all. It shows an incredible lack of insight into how national politics works. Remember the famous words, “I won’t be swiftboated!”

    *whew*…it’s a tsunami of revelations coming.

    It’s the same lack of judgment when he said, “My supporters won’t vote for her, but I’m sure I’ll get her supporters.”

  • Disgusted

    These people should be in jail. Why haven’t people looked into this before? Did they really believe that Obama floated to the top of the biggest pigstye in politics without getting shit on himself? Obama is in “tight” with all of them. I would bet that 65-70 % of his campaign contributions (bundles) are coming out of Chicago. What a great day it would be if Obama and these clowns go down.

    Let’s remind everyone that Pfleger backed up Farrakhan in a 2006 controversy over some remarkable Farrakhan bile. Pfleger criticized a mass resignation of Jewish members on a state of Illinois hate crimes commission: http://www.nbc5.com/news/7782149/detail.html?rss=chi&psp=news

    Pfleger said “good riddance” to the people who had left the commission. “Leave, go ahead and go on out, we don’t need that kind of a spirit or mentality and a narrowness on that kind of commission. I’m glad they’re gone,” Pfleger said.

    What was the issue? A member of the commission, Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad, was the Nation of Islam’s minister of protocol.

    [She] “was under the radar until she invited other commissioners to attend a Farrakhan speech last month. Criticism of Muhammad mounted after the speech, which included references to “Hollywood Jews” promoting homosexuality and “other filth.”

    The three Jewish commission members who resigned wanted Muhammad to repudiate Farrakhan’s criticism of Jews, gays and other groups. The Jewish Community Relations Council, representing 46 Chicago-area groups, passed a resolution supporting the three commission members.

    Here’s the quote from Farrakhan that Pfleger implicitly supported. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=698094

    Farrakhan said, “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality,” and “Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government” over the war in Iraq.

There are lots of rumors out there, BUT some things are undenialible = This church is racist against 75% of the U.S. Blacks are only 13% in the country, this racial divisive stuff won’t win the GE.

          Well lets be honest lets say that Hillary is bisexual which I do not believe and lets say Obama is bisexual it is more acceptable for a woman to be bisexual than it is for a man. The AAs are very homophobic and more so when the Homosexual is a male. That is a fact of life. I still do not believe that Hillary is bi but if she is so what.

    tootski,
    What I question is the alleged judgement of Obama. Keeps affiliations with people like Wright and Pfleger, who cannot but help popping off and creating damage. The issues are disenfranchisement, and whether this man is electable, and quite frankly whether he deserves the high office which he seeks. I for one thinks he doesn’t merit that office, and given his lack of experience, his associations, his affiliations, his profoundly bad judgement, arrogant elitist and sexist attitude. And I was not a clinton supporter, I grew to respect the hell out of her because I want a fighter, and that she is in buckets. Do you think that the karl rove run republican attack machine isn’t going to use the vastly abundant amount of material available to them to roast Obama? Hell, they had to make shit up about Gore and Kerry. Here it is in the public media, waiting for them to pick it up and throw against a wall to see what sticks, its free for the taking, the only dilemma is that there is so much available they may fall down in a seizure from sensory overload.

    Some folks have asked about the priest’s status within the Catholic church. Here’s a quote from today’s Chicago Sun-Times.

    Chicago Sun-Times religion reporter Mike Thomas asked Cardinal Francis George’s office for a reaction, and his spokeswoman, Colleen Dolan said, ”The cardinal has made it clear to Father Pfleger in the past on more than one occasion that it’s inappropriate to speak about political issues from the pulpit and that his own personal opinions are his own personal opinions.”

      In other words, Daley, Axelrod, Giannoulias, Wright, Obama and Farrakhan have too much influence over the Chicago Archdiocese.

    [May 30]Die-Hard Clinton Backers Keep Hope Alive (WSJ)

    ——————————————————————————–

    Quote:
    “On a national level, we don’t count much, and it’s very special that somebody of this caliber would come to Billings,” said 58-year-old Linda Harris, a lawyer from Shepherd, Mont., who came out to support Sen. Clinton’s rally there. “It isn’t curiosity,” she said of the reason people turned out to see the candidate. “It’s an absolute faith in what this woman can do for this country at a very critical time in our history.”

    It would appear the good priest is a weeeee bit off the reservation, as far as his diocese is concerned.

  • Kevin

    Yeah but its the RCC, remember they kept shifting pedophile priests around parish to parish.

    • beebop

      In another section of that tape he goes on about RAPE … don’t you think that’s a word that the Vatican would prefer a Priest not use? I’m just sayin’ …

      Strange group of guys … what happened to the Crusades argument? How does the “good” Father fit in with all of that …

      • yttik

        I found that part about rape, really creepy. In fact, I’m offended by all the talk of sexual assault while similtaniously humping the podium like Rev Wright did. There is something so misogynistic and perverted about that church, that it reminds of the sexual perversions of fascism.

        Rape is not a talking point, it’s not something to be used as a political tool. And listening to them talk about it over and over and over and again is really creepy.

    • hillarysmygirl

      I was raised Catholic, and I’m sure if Father Pfleger were our parish priest, my mother couldn’t have dragged us out of there FAST ENOUGH! Much less sit there for 20 years…

      yes but the Pope is very against Liberation Theology VERY
      I contacted the Vatican as did many others
      I am hoping they come down on the bishop and cardinal who wont do anything to rtemind them liberation theology is heretical for RCC

      • workingclass artist

        ginaswo….The Pope has been fighting Liberation Theology and it’s spread for 40 years….keep spreading the word and that link ( I could not get it to work though ) and tell folks to mention LT endorsed at St. Sabina’s…good job….This shit is fascism….

        ginaswo–please explain Black Liberation Theology. I can’t find anything on it.

        • workingclass artist

          S. Hall….Look up James Cone he is the architect of Black Liberation Theology…
          If you go to the Catholic Encyclopedia they have plenty on Liberation Theology….James Cone took Liberation Theology and added Racism to it by redefining the marxist class struggle as being a racial struggle. In a nut shell…Liberation Theology changes the identity of Jesus and the theology of salvation. It reduces Jesus to being merely an historical militant fighting for Social Justice. Salvation is gained through engaging in the class struggle for Social Justice. It uses the classic Marxist argument for eliminating social structures and replacing them with collective. It is dangerous for 3 main reasons as defined by the RCC and specifically Pope Benedict…
          1. It is heretical as it contradicts fundamental Christian Theology about Jesus and Christology especially in relation to Salvation and fundamental values of the Church…
          2. It uses Marxist analysis ( solutions ) to solve social ills and encourages salvation through militantism…
          3. It seduces ordinary christians to Marxism and class warfare…
          Liberation Theology swept Latin America…El Salvador and Nicaragua andno matter what folks say the result was mixed and it ended up a big mess with the Priests being shoved out by the Marxists….
          They are very detailed as to the theological argument…Now Cone took the rudiments of this Theology and added Racism…The class struggle according to Cone is a racial struggle….This of course is fascism…

    All these churches are part of elaborate financial machine in Chicago. And yes, Axelrod does orchestrate the activities of these churches. It leads one to wonder why Axelrod asked Pfleger to utter the words he did in the God Damn America Church in inner city Chicago. To whom are they appealing? And who are the intended recipients of Pfleger’s sermon? Are they warning superdelegates with Pfleger’s words? Or is Axelrod attempting to incite violence?

        1968 will happen regardless…

        “The Democrats eventually nominated Humphrey, who went on to lose the election to Richard M. Nixon. The confusion of the convention, and the unhappiness of many liberals with the outcome, led the Democrats to begin reforms of their nominating process, increasing the role of primaries and decreasing the power of party delegates in the selection process.”

        Thanks for memories.

        • yttik

          I think the Dems are going to combine 1968 with 1972 and break their own record for snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

      • Ivory Bill Woodpecker

        I’m surprised the Tootskinator wants a repeat of 1968, since the unrest of 1968 played a big role in sending many old-style Democrats rightward into the GOP, which led to the current period of GOP/conservative hegemony in US politics.

        That period of hegemony wasn’t very good for Communism overseas, either. Of the two major Communist powers, the USSR collapsed, while the People’s Republic of China morphed from Maoism into a system of authoritarian state capitalism that resembles fascism more than Communism, although it does remain just as despotic as the old Maoism.

    Donna Brazile – she’s abusive

    ——————————————————————————–

    Several of my friends and I have been e-mailing Donna Brazile – donna@brazileassociates.com — no matter what we say if we mention Hillary Clinton’s name she comes back with a nasty rude response. Each and every time.

    Example -[color="Blue"] Ms Brazile,

    As a Superdelegate, your responsibility to the Democratic Party is to choose the candidate who can win in November.

    As this race comes to an end Hillary Clinton is that candidate. She will beat John McCain in Novermber.

    For the good of the democratic party, please make the only choice possible, select Senator Clinton.

    Donna Brazile’s response – [color="Purple"]You can make up your own mind. So will I have time to do what is right. But [COLOR=”I will not base my decision on arguments generated by the passions of partisans.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    Please respect those of us who like both and I will never denigrate or demonize one in order to justify my support for the other.
    You are pleased to make your choice. Respect my choice too.

    Donna

    Read the original e-mail – it was NOT negative at all.

    She sites on the Rules & Committe team which meets tomorrow. She’s also a superdelegate. She hasn’t come out in favor of “barry” but it’s clear with her paid pundit post at CNN she’s totally in love with him.

    Here is the response of the Catholic Church in Chicago

    STATEMENT OF FRANCIS CARDINAL GEORGE, O.M.I.,
    ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO
    Friday, May 30, 2008

    Statement of Cardinal Francis George concerning remarks of
    Fr. Michael Pfleger about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton during
    an address at Trinity United Church of Christ on Sunday May 25, 2008

    The Catholic Church does not endorse political candidates. Consequently, while a priest must speak to political issues that are also moral, he may not endorse candidates nor engage in partisan campaigning.

    Racial issues are both political and moral and are also highly charged. Words can be differently interpreted, but Fr. Pfleger’s remarks about Senator Clinton are both partisan and amount to a personal attack. I regret that deeply.

    To avoid months of turmoil in the church, Fr. Pfleger has promised me that he will not enter into campaigning, will not publicly mention any candidate by name and will abide by the discipline common to all catholic priests.

    • beebop

      He should lose his parish.

      • workingclass artist

        He probably will…Cardinal George will be under heavy fire…already is that is a swift response for the RCC…it will build…Pfleger is probably being asked to arrange a leave….Priests are in short supply and the bishops are spread thin…Chicago is a big Parish takes time to fill gaps.
        When Dallas was dealing with the aftermath in 95 we had to import a Bishop from NJ….He was terrific…He did double duty cross country…

            Yeah…My kid went to Holy Trinity bout the smallest and poorest parish school and church. That Bishop saved our diocese as we were reeling from that evil Rudy Koss and were on the brink as the scandal became Natonal.The Good Bishop from NJ came back every year to officiate the confirmation of what he called ” His Kids” from the 8th graders in 95 all the way to my kids class in 2004….When he came back for the last time in 2004 the church was packed and his homily moved the congregation to tears….For every one bad priest there are many very good priests and nuns world wide…
            His name was Bishop Galante from NJ and that man healed our parish….The program he initiated for reform became the model adopted by the American College of Bisops and it is working…Pope Benedict held a meeting with survivors of abuse when he was in America…The RCC has many problems but we can overcome them and I believe we will….

    Jacques Berlinerblau is program director and associate professor of Jewish Civilization at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He writes for Post/Newsweek. Here is his take on Pfleger. http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/georgetown/2008/05/pursuing_the_jewish_vote.html

    But by delivering his remarks, Father Pfleger seems to have officially submitted his entry to the What Else Can We At Trinity Do to Further Assure that the United States Does Not Have Its First African-American President Any Time Soon? video competition. And this application has “Finalist” marked all over it.

    ***

    In a general election a presidential candidate typically moves to the center. It is now going to be even harder for Obama to do that since America keeps seeing footage of his friends who stand to the left of Fidel Castro.

    But that’s not all. The Senator from Illinois has his share of difficulties with White Blue Collar voters. I have observed elsewhere that this group loathes this type of rhetoric (unless it comes from Chris Rock).

    There’s more to be concerned about. Obama has demonstrated some weakness with Catholic voters. The fact that he finds himself receiving glowing praise from a priest who has been in a running, public feud with his local Cardinal might aggravate the problem.

  • Kevin

    There is something REALLY wrong with a church that has to hire a consultant to manage its image.

    It’s one thing for the guest pastor to issue an apology after he was caught in his hate-filled rant. What is most telling, however, is the fact that no one in the congregation appeared to be shocked or offended – they were all fully immersed in the frenzy. That’s where the real problem is. They should have all gotten up and walked out in protest. An un-biased compassionate human would not have been able to be a part of that.

    That church doesn’t have an image problem; it has a genuine problem.

      No, I have to say that that is not the case. It was true with what we saw for Unca Jerry, but if you go back and look, there are some really crazy people jumping around and high fiving, but there are some elderly women sitting and not looking happy about the “performance.” I think it is essential to be fair in this and not everyone at TUUC was lapping this up like fat kittens. There were some very unhappy women in that audience.

      • Kevin

        They should have done something about it then. The thing that scares me about all this, is does BO give another “discussions on race in america” speech. chris matthews soils himself again in ectasy, and it goes away. This is systemic. If you sit there and are silent, you are participating in condoning it. Just like BO. he sat in that place for 20+ years, and condoned it all with his presence and/or lack of comment either about it or against it. Now when it goes public, he denounces it. These crazy assholes have been spewing this garbage for years, and they were listed as spiritual advisers. That isn’t ignorant, its just plain stupid. And we have currently a stupid man in the white house and I for one would prefer someone smart, like Sen. Clinton.

        • beebop

          I am not disagreeing with you. But it takes a lot of courage to go against your community. Some of these congregants have probably been there since the beginning and like us resent their church being hi-jacked by the new comers. Expecting the oldest to be the bravest is not likely. They are more inclined to disappear. Which is what the party is counting on insofar as the elderly Democratic voter. First they tell you not to vote. Then they pray that you’ll be dead in four years so they don’t have to both hood winkin’ ya’ … no more okie doke wasted on ya’.

        That’s just over-the-line dishonesty. We were polite and followed the guidelines.

        So, the way I look at it is that they made an executive decision to serve only one niche. That’s a private site. They are allowed. And they get to do that, but why pretend it’s anything more than a PR site?

        I personally won’t click Taylor Marsh’s links anymore because she too often kicks me into HuffPo.

        The forumla for what HuffPo did is simple. We’re starting to see this same forumla on other sites. I’ll support the ones that offer free speech. I have no problem with moderating out threats, true trolling, etc.

        I do have a problem when a site claims to not restrict opposing opinions and then turns around and does just that. That’s just plain ole’ BS.

        And it’s BS to ban pro-Hillary diaries.

        This type of activity is EXACTLY why very reasonable people all over the country are fed up and speaking out and taking busses to Washington to make themselves heard.

    If a white, hispaic or asian were to have said that, the world would have come to an end! People have become so scared of AA backlash that no-one will call this what it is! Reverse racism! And if you believe that this does not occur, you really need to get out more often. It Has and It does!

    • http://deleted AnninCa

      What’s very sad about this is going to be in the future. There is now a real backlash going on. In the future, voters will be asking some questions about AA candidates that, heretofore, have been considered impolite.

      They will be grilled on their attitudes on this issue.

      People simply aren’t going to tolerate this type of racism. We are not going to live in a country where calling people “whitey” is any more acceptable than using derogatory labels from those of other races.

      That’s just not going to happen.

      One thing that is clear. His numbers were already tanking. This will sink him entirely.

    Haven’t you noticed? Nobody cares about this crap except you suckers. Obama is not these other people. What Hillary has herself said is far more damning. Keep huffing and puffing and banging your heads against the wall though. It’s entertaining! lol

    • http://deleted AnninCa

      Yeah, nobody cares.

      See his unfavorability rating today? Higher than Hillary or McCain. 52%. That’s a 30 point drop in less than 60 days and doesn’t even involve this latest tidbit.

      Obama is not fit to hold any public office. Put that in your crack-pipe and smoke it, you will get more out of the pipe than you will from Obama.

      See, that is where you are wrong. You probably don’t go to church, too hung over from beer bongs and XTC from the night before, I suspect. But America is one the most religious countries on Earth. Most people here consider themselves one religon or another. So they understand and comprehend just how much influence a religous or “spiritual leader” has in a person’s life. For most people, it’s up there with family and country. So when those people with different religous views see Rev. Wright and Fr. Pfleger prance around like nut jobs and spout hate towards whitey, give us your 401Ks, and women are ho’s…well that tends to make even the most unpolitical person sit up and take notice. Besides, if you weren’t worried about Barky and all his fuck ups, you wouldn’t be here. You’d be out doing beer bongs and XTC. And you wouldn’t sound so defensive. That’s the dead give away, honeybuns.

    • Mary

      Lynn Sweet was great.

      She also emphasized the federal government earmarks that Obama had hustled for this Catholic priest’s church.

      You can bet your bottom dollar that the RNC will 527 the fact that Obama funneled our tax dollars to this racist, anti-Semitic priest.

      Watch for an FBI sweep, too.

    A bit off topic but interesting just the same….

    Healing the wounds of Democrats’ sexism
    Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By Geraldine A. Ferraro
    May 30, 2008
    LAST YEAR at the beginning of the presidential primary season, Democrats were giddy with excitement. Not only did we have an embarrassment of riches in our candidates but we had two historic candidacies to enjoy. Once and for all our country would show that racism and sexism were not part of our 21st-century DNA.

    Here we are at the end of the primary season, and the effects of racism and sexism on the campaign have resulted in a split within the Democratic Party that will not be easy to heal before election day. Perhaps it’s because neither the Barack Obama campaign nor the media seem to understand what is at the heart of the anger on the part of women who feel that Hillary Clinton was treated unfairly because she is a woman or what is fueling the concern of Reagan Democrats for whom sexism isn’t an issue, but reverse racism is.

    The reaction to the questions being raised has been not to listen to the message and try to find out how to deal with the problem, but rather to denigrate the messenger. Sore loser, petty, silly, vengeful are words that have dominated the headlines. But scolding and name calling don’t resolve disputes. The truth is that tens of thousands of women have watched how Clinton has been treated and are not happy. We feel that if society can allow sexism to impact a woman’s candidacy to deny her the presidency, it sends a direct signal that sexism is OK in all of society.

    In response, a group of women – from corporate executives to academics to members of the media – have requested that the Shorenstein Center at Harvard University and others conduct a study, which we will pay for if necessary, to determine three things.

    First, whether either the Clinton or Obama campaign engaged in sexism and racism; second, whether the media treated Clinton fairly or unfairly; and third whether certain members of the media crossed an ethical line when they changed the definition of journalist from reporter and commentator to strategist and promoter of a candidate. And if they did to suggest ethical guidelines which the industry might adopt.

    That sexism impacted Clinton’s campaign, I have no doubt. Did she lose a close election because of sexism? I don’t know. But I do know that it will never happen again as long as women are willing to stand up and make sure that it is just a one-time bad experience.

    As for Reagan Democrats, how Clinton was treated is not their issue. They are more concerned with how they have been treated. Since March, when I was accused of being racist for a statement I made about the influence of blacks on Obama’s historic campaign, people have been stopping me to express a common sentiment: If you’re white you can’t open your mouth without being accused of being racist. They see Obama’s playing the race card throughout the campaign and no one calling him for it as frightening. They’re not upset with Obama because he’s black; they’re upset because they don’t expect to be treated fairly because they’re white. It’s not racism that is driving them, it’s racial resentment. And that is enforced because they don’t believe he understands them and their problems. That when he said in South Carolina after his victory “Our Time Has Come” they believe he is telling them that their time has passed.

    Whom he chooses for his vice president makes no difference to them. That he is pro-choice means little. Learning more about his bio doesn’t do it. They don’t identify with someone who has gone to Columbia and Harvard Law School and is married to a Princeton-Harvard Law graduate. His experience with an educated single mother and being raised by middle class grandparents is not something they can empathize with. They may lack a formal higher education, but they’re not stupid. What they’re waiting for is assurance that an Obama administration won’t leave them behind.

    Hope, change, and inspiration don’t do it. A speech on racism might persuade editorial boards, but to these voters it’s “just words.” Obama has less than six months to make the case.

    Geraldine A. Ferraro, a former vice presidential candidate, resigned from Clinton’s Finance Committee in March.

    • typical irishman

      Just because I am white doesn’t mean I have to be silent about things I care for. Just because I am white does not mean I do not care for my country. Just because I am white does not exclude me from my constitutional rights. Just because I am white I am just as proud of my heritage and culture as any african is of theirs.

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

    And another………..

    Via Politico, the Pew Research Center has a new report, available here, finding 49% of white women and 35% of Democratic white women now have a negative perception of Obama. Politico summarizes:

    Forty-nine percent of white women view Obama unfavorably, while only 43 percent hold a favorable opinion. In February, 36 percent of these women viewed Obama unfavorably, while 56 percent had a positive perception of the likely Democratic nominee.

    Over the same period, Democratic white women’s negative view of Obama increased from 21 percent to 35 percent, while their positive view decreased from 72 percent to 60 percent — roughly the same rate as white women overall.

  • Kevin

    I read that this am in Pravda, I mean the boston globe, good article. it’s the hard truth. When I was finishing my degree I was one “diversity” core away from the requirement, the two I had to choose from that fit my schedule were Political Economy of Black America, or Women’s Political Economy. I took the BA one, what an eye opener. According to the prof. and the texts, AAs cannot be racist, and the real kicker was All whites are GENETICALLY RACIST. his case for economic reparations was that even a newly arrived immigrant, say from Ireland or Russia, was just as culpable as Tom Jefferson, George Washington, Robert E. Lee. I being one of three whites in the course, argued at length with him, to no avail. I got along great with my classmates, and some of the AA students would privately agree with my points.
    I wonder if he is BOs econ advisor.

  • M

    As a Republican I never thought I’d say it, but I so wish Hillary would win this primary. And not because I think she is beatable–no, I think she is a far, far, far better choice than Obama, who is extremely inexperienced and dangerously left leaning.

    I may not like Hillary or her politics, but i must admit she would make a far better president than Obama. What the heck happened?

    • Fred C. Dobbs

      Stooooooopidity!

      Like nominating Goldwater in ’64.

      Both parties have substantial Lemming Wings. Yours gets excited about other people’s uteruses and JAY-zus!

      Ours wants to tear itself apart about shit that happened before our great grandparents were born.

    • s. hall

      M thank you for that. I wish I knew what happened. This is the first time I can remember where the media pushed so hard for one candidate. If you get a chance take a look at The O’Reilly Factor’s website. I wish I could pull up the video. O’Reilly does a rant against the rest of the media taking down Hillary. It was very moving. If Hillary doesn’t get the nomination I will vote for McCain. He is a good man who loves this country and maybe with millions of Democrats voting for him he will save Social Security and work on a plan to have Healthcare for All Americans. There are some Republicans talking about McCain picking Hillary as VP. God that would be the best news. Ya think???

      What has made me smile in the last few months is that I find myself watching Fox News. Something I have never done before. They are fair and balanced and I believe they are Americans first and Republicans second.

  • morgan

    Did anyone see Hillary’s interview in 1996 about her book It Takes a Village on c-span last night. It was great! It proved to me once again that Obama is so green. Hillary was talking about the same stuff in 1996. Obama the plagerizer, most of his “new” talking points could have been taken from this interview and book. She could talk about policy and issues for hours. She is incredible, her ideas and knowledge unsurpassed. I was so proud of her watching that interview. All I could think is “she must be our President”. If Obama wins this nomination it will be like the new charsimatic popular “ethnic” guy gets the job over the one ready for the job with more experience, more knowledge, better judgement. The DNC will try to tell Hillary that they couldn’t upset 13% of the country who Obama told it was their time. And Hillary will run anyway! My stepmother a republican and many other republicans, independants and all her ex-democrat supporters will deliver a win in November.

    Why is Obama ashamed of his Arabic lineage? Is it because of the history of slave traders on his father’s side of his Arabic family? Or is Obama afraid of what his Arabic lineage might do to his bid for the US Presidency so soon after 9/11?

    As a child I was a target for AA racism on the south soide of Chicago. I am Apache/Mexican American. I went to an ALL black school in Hyde Park. 55th and Cottage Grove. I was BUSED there. I was called every name you can think of.

    Okay….you grow up and get over it, but I never forgot it. neither did my 8 other siblings. I don’t hold the friends I have now to account for this but I HAVE heard them ALL say things like…F-That Honkey! White Bi***! and such. As a matter of fact as soon as you piss one of these racist off, those are the first words that come from their mouths! Now to be fair, not everyone does this, but it has been my experience that this was the case. I know some will say BullS***, but I challenge anyone who has grown up, or still lives in a big city to call me a liar!

    You might want to catch up on Larry Sinclair stuff.
    Says he will have a press conference this afternoon.

    You can listen to radio interview from yesterday with Jeff Rense and Larry Sinclair.

    larrysinclair0926.wordpress.com
    5/29/08 interview

    interview mentions driver of limo–Larry’s attorney to give him two weeks to come forward and do affidavit or will go public with identity.

    also attorney for sinclair in talks with Rev. Manning’s attorneys.

    nothing earth shaking, but the beat goes on.

    more harassment from Obama-turds.

    I believe Sinclair. We’ve got murder, drugs and sex.
    All that’s missing is rock and roll.

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

    I believe Sinclair is telling the truth on this..There was a whisper here in Chicago back in 2000, about Obama’s supposed Bisexuality. Although I believe sinclair, I am a realist and I don’t think it will go anywhere unless Sinclair has Iron Clad proof..DNA? All this will do now is give the Obamaphiles a reason to Whine about how much we are grasping at straws.
    As ” I ” have stated above….I believe this story to be true, but without proof, It won’t go anywhere!

  • I will Remember in November

    Bottomline, until the white latte liberals break free of their collective white guilt, Obama will be handed the nomination PERIOD. And if the obama to pfeger and wright to farrakah connection does break the hold of white guilt- nothing well. Obama has known wright and pfeger for over twenty years because they have a common connection–resentment and loathing towards “typical white people.”. You know not white people like pfeger and axelrod–”theys gooood” white people who believe whitey is the root of all evil on this earth. Those “typical white people” not so much.

    I never thought i see the day when farrakan was a stones throw away from controlling the most powerful military on the planet! Go figure!

    But really I believe obama is doing all of this to show his father he WAS deserving of his love. His white blood did not “soil” the obama bloodline.He is as pro black (see wright and farrakan and only non typical white people) as any full blooded black even more so. I always wondered why obama would name a book after a man who adandoned him at 2 and he only saw once after that in an airport between flights–”Dreams of my Father”. His white granparents nuture him, feed and clothed him and give him a fine education but yet it was his father he felt compelled glorify. That has to make you wonder, no?

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

    Yeah it does tell you something. This man has always hated his “white” bloodline. It didnt matter that it was his “White” grandparents that took care of him while Mama was running around the world looking for love. And by the way….I suppose his “White” Mother was good enough to bed but not good enough to stay with? His fathers so-called Shame is Bullshit.. What is sad is that he has thrown away the chance this country actually had to unite. Guess that “White” blood was too much for him to handle.

    My Kids are White/Apache/mexican American and I can tell you this…..THEY ARE PROUD OF THEIR HERITAGE! This man is a disgrace to the human race period!

    Oh, and more:

    Pfleger, known locally as a community activist and organizer, was arrested in June 2007 with the Rev. Jesse Jackson during a protest outside of a south suburban Chicago gun shop. The criminal trespass charges were later dropped.

    He also has hosted Louis Farrakhan, the controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, at St. Sabina and has called him “a gift from God to a sick, sick world.”

    Nancy Pelosi and her little leftist clique in House says they are going to unite the party..Now they want to play nice and make love…Hey too little, too late.. I think its time to start petition for resignations of Howard Dean, Donna Brizile.

    Can we start a boycott of CNN, MSNBC, NBC and Newsweek. Start writing to sponsors of their news networks, boycott their products. Our family will organize and push for John McCain if Obami, the closet case is nominated. The extreme left wing has gone off the deep-wing. Look what happened to Conn. when the crazies took over party-Joe Liberman
    want the election..Can we get Clinton to run as an independent?

  • http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/sneakpeak.html Factcheck2

    You know, if Axelrod is on this priest’s fundraising team, then there’s no way he gave this sermon without permission from the Obama camp. Notice that he quit the advisory committee a couple weeks ago in the lead up to this. Could it be that either, they’re trying to keep Clinton from deciding to run as an independent (on the off chance there will be defections among superdelegates), or they’re trying to deflect attention from something else? (One other possibility is that they did this to denigrate Clinton in the eyes of Puerto Rican voters, who see a Catholic priest on TV publicly repudiating her and think maybe they shouldn’t support here.)

    What is particularly AMAZING in the coverage (bordering on conspiracy, in my view) is the utter embargo on reporting of Obama’s well-documented links to two Iraqi foreign agents, including Saddam’s ex-money-man (according the the Pentagon) AND the former Minister of Electricity in Iraq (now living in Illinois) who’s wanted by Interpol for stealing $650 million in reconstruction funds. How an earth could Obama pass a basic security clearance for employment in federal government when he’s apparently benefitted financially from both of these fellows and has a paper trail with them as wide as the Panama Canal?

    I honestly thing this pastor stuff is a deliberate distraction. And instead of protesting DNC meetings we should all be standing outside the office of the Dept. of Homeland Security demanding that Chertoff open an investigation into Obama’s ties to these two characters. NBC and CNN and all the rest can hardly avoid covering up the facts once that happens.

    (Click on my screen name for articles that document Obama’s organized crime links.)
