And The Hits Just Keep On Coming: Obama/Kilpatrick Ad

images1.jpgFreedom’s Defense Fund put together a new ad highlighting the ties between Obama and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick who, according to Salon,pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice on September 4, 2008. Kilpatrick will forfeit his office and serve 120 days in jail, ending a scandal that began when the Detroit Free Press published raunchy text messages between Kilpatrick and his ex-chief of staff.

Those messages proved that, in spite of Kilpatrick’s testimony during a civil lawsuit, the pair had, in fact, been knocking boots.

Watch the video ad, it is devastating!



Salon had this to say about Obama and his praise of Kilpatrick:

Last year, before addressing the Detroit Economic Club, Obama praised Kilpatrick as “a great mayor.” This year, he told the mayor to stay away from the Democratic National Convention. On Wednesday, as Kilpatrick apparently balked at accepting a plea deal, Obama issued a public statement asking him to resign.

Obama told Kilpatrick to stay home and not attend the Democratic National Convention. A few weeks later, Obama issued a public statement asking Kilpatrick to accept the plea deal. Why did Obama, who so highly praised Kilpatrick, not do this privately? Why did he feel it necessary to be so overt about it? Interesting. And yet another Obama “friend” is thrown “under the bus”.

    LOL Kilpatrick couldn’t go to the convention because the judge wouldn’t let him remove his ankle bracelet.

    I’m dying here.

  • Mr. X

    This is a REAL ad? WOW! And there’s so much material to choose from. They’re using Obama’s own voice and video. Crazy.

  • jrterrier

    The hacking of Gov Palin’s email is the 21st century version of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Nixon. In that case, some people hired by the campaign broke into the democratic national committee’s office. it was initially investigated as a common crime — breaking and entering — until it was traced back to Nixon campaign operatives. In today’s day and age, breaking and entering is replaced by hacking into the Republican VP nominee.

    This is horrible and I agree with NicoleAnon that the venom needs to stop, including that pushed by the HuffingtonPost.

    I haven’t seen a statement of denunciation from the Obama campaign. He needs to come out quickly and denounce this repugnant act.

  • Fandango13

    You know, there ARE some black aka AA leaders who insist that black aka AA officials who abuse office should be held accountable, always as quickly as possible, just as if they were white. Obama playing the race card when it suits him, messes up all black leaders, and does a terrible disservice to hard-working honest black leaders who serve their communities, their constituencies. It makes me so mad, that Obama can take down such really good hard-working leaders of any stripe. He has set back honorable race relations for a decade. It’s wrong.

    The Democratic Party has lost its bloody soul. And a loyal supporter. Me, and I suspect millions of other members, who are disgusted with the lies and deception. Oh yes, the opposition will claim racism. But it’s far more odious than that.

    This man is not who he pretends to be. A fraud, a dangerous fake. A wolf in sheep’s clothing.

  • Dan

    Plenty of time left, friend. There’s well over a month left until Election Day, which is an eternity in politics. Obama has had a good week so far, but it’s just one week.

    The three presidential debates are comin’ up, and the give & take format of a debate is something at which McCain excels and at which Obama is comparatively weak.

    In my humble opinion, all McCain & Palin have to do is keep the race close until the debates are done a month from now and we’re down to the last two weeks. Then the GOP can unleash the heavy artillery that they have on Obama, including the “whitey tape”. If the final polls before Election Day show McCain and Palin within 3 points or less, the “Bradley Effect” will make sure that they end up winning.

    All is well.

    don’t have a hard time voting repubican.
    I used to be a democrat til the end of the primary.
    Keep in mind that McCain was often called the democrats favorite republican. He passed comprehensive Bi-partisan campaign finance reform.
    It took them years and he stuck to it against all of the entrenched interests. Immigration he fought hard for it. Harder than any republican and most democrats. He worked with Bill Clinton giving him cover politically to normalize relation with the Vietnamese. He was against reagan sending troops to Beirut becuase it was the wrong thing to do. And unfortunatly quite a few of them died.
    He risked his candidacy to fight for the surge and becuase of that the Iraqi poeple are on the streets safely. Al-Anbar province where there was expressed to be no hope from some democrats is now in the power of the iraqi poeple. He fought Abramoff for his corruption. He fought big tobacco. He voted against the Dick Cheney Oil give away.
    DRILL BABY DRILL

    Those are just some of the reasons a democrat could vote John McCain.
    He also has good policy. Go to his site and read them forget the spin from the left. And read economists they say his plans are better. His energy plan is superb. It is much more ambitious and sensible.

    Obama really didn’t have a good week. He had to bring his teleprompters out. The MSM did have a really good week. By bashing McCain and Palin they were able to level the polls. More money for them.

    I also disagree that the Debates will affect a large gap between McCain and Oblahblah. Obambi is very charismatic in those situations. Obama will not loose by much if does loose. Then the MSM will immediately shore up the difference by ridiculing McCain.

    and I also disagree with any kind of complacency based on keeping Obama close. Obama has more money to buy ads in the last two weeks of the campaign and McCain will not be able to compete in the ad category. Ad time also has an upper limit.

    I think the heavy artillery better come out just about tomorrow. And they should go for a barrage of negative ads this week end and then lets see what kind of a defense Oblahblah can put forward.

    ACORN Watch: 1,100 suspicious voter cards in NM

    http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/17/acorn-watch-1100-suspicious-voter-cards-in-nm/

    The Bernalillo County clerk has notified prosecutors that some 1,100 possibly fraudulent voter registration cards have been turned in to her office.

    Some cards in New Mexico’s most populous county have the same name as a voter who’s already registered, but carry a different birth date or Social Security number; some list someone else’s Social Security number; some have addresses that don’t exist, Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver said Wednesday.

    In one case, a series of about nine cards appears to have been taken directly from the phone book, she said.

    “Those are sort of the big red flags,” Toulouse Oliver said.

  • katmandu

    Thanks to a commenter on another thread — here’s an interesting 2005 video of Daniel Mudd, interim CEO of Fannie Mae, talking at the swearing in of the Congressional Black Caucus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0&eurl

    Mudd refers to Fannie Mae’s friendship with the Congressional Black Caucus. Senator Obama was in the room at the time. Mudd makes it sound like Fannie Mae exists to serve the CBC. (Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, of course, had and have big Dem connections.)

    Mudd also alludes to Fannie Mae’s troubling times, in 2005!

    I just gotta get up and step into the plate!”, and then out of nowhere came “Hey, I’m Sarah Palin!”, and he said “OH DAMN! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?

    Thank God for the internet. None of this ever gets aired on msm, FOX sometimes,I guess. I haven’t watched the news on TV since last February.

    This ad would nail anyone, but BO. I thought the whole Reverend Wright thing would put BO away. There are so many scandals and associations to choose from, but he is BO, and no one has been able to bring him down yet.

    It’s when we let men like BO get a pass on everything we as a country pay for it in the end. Look at George Bush.

    I used to think he was just inept. He’s corrupt. He’s a rotten apple and so are the heads of the DNC!

    I don’t like this ad coming from the other side. It’s too Willie Horton for me with the mug shots of Kilpatrick. He’s a jerk but come on! There’s so much material about Rezko, Ayers, Hamas, Pakistan, Kenya, etc. This just isn’t my style I guess.

    The other ad, linked above, to the woman who survived an abortion–that seems like fair game because of his voting record. And it’s a strong ad, too.

    Q. You told me the law firm you worked for dealt with civil rights. So would it be safe to say Obama was a champion for the downtrodden and less fortunate? What were your personal impressions of Obama? Did he seem like helping the poor was his primary agenda?

    A. I didn’t feel at the time Obama cared about the downtrodden and less fortunate and I still don’t feel that way. I didn’t see any proof of that at all during the 11 months I worked there. I don’t have any knowledge of Obama helping in the community in any way. We as legal secretaries weren’t paid very much there and he could’ve started helping with that – speaking up about the low pay we had. I didn’t see that he cared about our state in life. I also saw him act in ways that were very self-serving, self-focused and ambitious.

    OT but I am hoping you guys can help me answer this defense of Obama from a friend of mine point for point with credible info from reputable sources. She is a good soul and worth the trouble though she comes across a bit snobby at the beginning of this.

    Anyway, here it is and I thank any of you who can help me with it…..

    Moving on, I like O’s education – we talk about it in this country then despite it in favor of someone to ‘have a beer with – or go to Wal Mart with – yeah it means a lot more to me to graduate from Columbia and magna cum laude from Harvard Law than to be fifth from the bottom at Annapolis or take 6 years at 5 different college to get a BA from Idaho State. I like that based on his writing and grades he was editor of the Law Review at Harvard. I like that he worked as a Civil Rights attorney and a (gasp) community organizer for two years after college and before law school . He took the community group from revenue of $70,000 to $400,000 and helped set up job training and college prep tutoring among other things he did for the poor on the South Side. And he worked closely with the Catholic church (some muslim). I like his 7 years as a state senator and 4 as a US senator where he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism and care for returned military personnel. I like that he taught Constitutional Law for twelve years at the University of Chicago.* In the Senate he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in using federal funds. I like his temperament, his intelligence, which is acute, and I am impressed, yes, with both his speaking ability and his writing.

    As a senator he was ranked as 11th most powerful; crossed the aisle to sponsor bills with Tom Coburn, the Transparency Act, which authorized establishment of http://www.USA spending.gov, a web search engine to track government spending and he introduced follow up legislation with Senators Carper, Coburn and McCain. He sponsored legislation requiring nuke plants to notify state and local authorities of radioactive leaks (amazing that was not in place long ago). He also sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges and also sponsored the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran’s oil and gas industry and co-sponsored legislation to reduce risks of nuclear ( he can pronounce it correctly too) terrorism. He has made many trips abroad – Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. and to a Russian mobile launch facility with Republican Richard Lugar.

    And in Illinois he was chair of Health and Human Services Committee (useful for health care reform) and worked with police to enact death penalty reforms and in the Senate he also cosponsored the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act and a related bill the Secure Fence Act (take that Lou Dobbs) and with Senator Lugar (R) expanded the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction to include conventional weapons.
    His speech at the Democratic Convention four years ago was terrific and made me think of the Lincoln Douglas debate in the way he and Abe were both catapulted into the spotlight based on oratory and the content of that oratory. I like his grace and his values.
    Now, when I sent that to my aforementioned friend, she scoffed that I made no case yet she loves Palin who ran a state with the population of Peoria and was mayor of a city the size of my little (5000 people) home town.
    McSame voted with W 90% of the time, was one of the Keating Five in the S&L scandal and uses his POW status like a hammer. I am reminded of George McGovern who was labeled unrealistic and even cowardly when he had actually won medals for valor flying a bomber over Germany – the fault of the Dems and the media that it got little or no play while Nixon posed as a brave warrior.

    Obama Deletes Another Unread MoveOn.org E-Mail

    CHICAGO—After receiving yet another unwanted e-mail from liberal political action group MoveOn.org Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama deleted the message from his inbox without even glancing at its contents.

    “Ugh, not these people again,” Obama was overheard to say as he placed the unread e-mail into the Gmail folder marked “Trash.”

    [snip]
    “It seems like every time I turn on my computer, another &$%#%#^ MoveOn.org e-mail pops up,” said Obama, noting that this is the third message from the progressive online organization he has deleted in the past week. “How many of these things am I going to get?”

    “They already know I’m going to vote for Obama,” Obama added. “The only people who sign up for this thing are Democrats anyway. They’re just preaching to the choir.” [snip]

    “I usually get excited when I see that I have one unread message,” Obama said. “I think that maybe it’s something interesting or important, but then I see it’s another MoveOn e-mail and my heart just sinks. It’s like getting nothing.”

    [snip]
    “I know this election is important and everything,” Obama added. “But these people seriously need to relax.”[snip]

    [snip]

    ps My wife and I both dropped out of MoveOn after they endorsed BO.

    I somehow thought someone might have the response you did about the birth certificate. So, are you now saying that FactCheck.org is in the pockets of the Democrats? Come on now. But, you believe what you want. That is your right. My only question would be what you will say when the lawsuit is thrown out as having no merit, and the Judge says that Obama was born in Hawaii? Will you then say the Judge is in the Democrats pocket as well?

    If that is the case, then you should really prepare for a landslide Obama win as everyone in the U.S. is apparently working against McCain to “anoint” Obama

    I mean, why let facts get in the way of your dislike of Obama, right?

  • McCain is not qualified to be a CEO

    Lame Argument:

    Obama is to Kilpatrick or Rezko/Ayers as

    McCain is to Charles Keating as

    George Bush Sr. is to The Bin Laden Group as

    Hillary Clinton is to Jim McDougal as

    etc, etc, etc.

    This argument goes no where. Every prominent politician has had connections at one point in their careers that have shady dealings.

    That’s why for all the screaming on this site about Rezko and Ayers, none of it has amounted to shit (in terms of public opinion).

    The only connection that’s ever hurt Obama is Rev Wright. Because there was admittedly a long personal relationship there. I still think Obama will have to answer for Wright before November.

    McCain is probably saving some of that artillery for the first debate. That’s where he is going to out Obama and friends over the Freddie/Fannie mess.

    If he unloads that now (and some others), Obama and his media friends will have had a few days to counter it and bury it before the debate. Better to hit him during the debates, unfiltered and all alone, without his talking heads to help him out.

  • Obama Is Wall Street

    Obama aka Mr. Wall Street

    1. The financial market is failing due to mortgage lenders. Wall Street lost more than 500 points within the first hour of trading on 9/15. The Dow slipped 450 points on 9/17.

    2. The top contributors to the Obama campaign are the very Wall Street firms whose shady mortgage lenders buried the elderly and the poor and minority under predatory loans.

    According to the Black Agenda Report,

    “Seven of the Obama campaign’s top 14 donors consisted of officers and employees of the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly implicated in originating and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages. These latest frauds have left thousands of children in some of our largest minority communities coming home from school to see eviction notices and foreclosure signs nailed to their front doors. Those scars will last a lifetime.

    “How can ‘we,’ the people, make change if Obama’s money backers block our ability to be heard?”
    These seven Wall Street firms are (in order of money given): Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse. ” (emphasis added.)

    (Reference blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=613&Itemi)

    Lehman Brothers, the fourth biggest U.S. investment bank, filed for bankruptcy Monday after two most serious buyers Barcklays and Bank of America (BOA) withdrew from talks to buy the firm. New York-based Lehman, the biggest U.S. underwriter of mortgage securities, has lost 94 percent of its market value this year after record losses from investments tied to mortgages.

    (Reference english.cri.cn/3130/2008/09/16/1722s405708.htm)

    (Also reference washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/17/AR2007041701688.html)

    Brokaw called Schumer on how much money Obama is getting from Wall Street on Meet the Press on 9-14-08

    MR. BROKAW: “Senator Schumer, we’re told today by the Obama campaign that they raised $66 million last month. That’s a very impressive number. He has set new records for raising money.”

    SEN. SCHUMER: “You know, I’d say two things here. First, Obama’s contributions, more than anyone else, come in the $10s and $25 from average citizens. This is…”

    MR. BROKAW: “But a lot of them come from big friends of yours on Wall Street and New York, and people have big chunks of money…”

    3. Obama got $126,000 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Investments. He is the third biggest recipient of political money from these funds in the last 20 years.
    (Reference opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html)

    3. McCain is offering solutions, including calling for stricter government regulations.

    4. Obama supports and takes money from the very people created economic hardship on Americans.

    Obama-Change we can believe in: Take more campaign money from Wall Street, offer no solutions and blame others.

    BTW, I think the McCain campaign is holding back for now and waiting until after the first debate. It is difficult to get through the midia bias. The articles against McCain are 9 to 1. They will have to focus all their attentions on the getting past the media somehow. I use to read CNN but have stopped since they sold out.

    I don’t understand why the groups that are spending all this money on 30 sec adds don’t just make a bunch of DVDs and send them out to a large number of people in PA,OH,VA,MI,WI,FL. Even if they hit 1 out of every 10 house holds they would get to millions of people with only spending about a dollar pre address.

    Before you ask questions that also accuse us of something you should read the articles on this blog. The problem people had all along was the fact that the birth certificate that was put online is a fake. Now why would anybody fake a birth certificate?

  • Dan

    We shouldn’t live & die by polls right now. They’re gonna be all over the place in a race this close.

    Instead, focus on the larger picture: The conventions are over, their respective “bounces” have faded, and on balance, McCain probably picked up a point or two from where he was relative to Obama before the conventions started.

    The next major events will be the three presidential and the one vice-presidential debate. The VP debates will have more significance this time because people will want to see if Sarah Palin can hold her own against Joe Biden. (I believe that she will.) But the three presidential debates are far more important, and John McCain would seem to have the advantage in that type of unscripted, give & take format.

    What I’m hoping will happen is that after the 3rd debate, McCain and Palin will be even in the polls or perhaps have a slight lead. Then we can rely on the “Bradley Effect”, the GOP’s hard-hitting 527 ads in the battleground states, and their nuclear bomb, the whitey tape, to produce a McCain victory on Election Day.

    It bears repeating that the great bulk of those voters out there who are still undecided are white lower middle-class and middle-class voters. This is a demographic group with which Barack Obama has not done well in the past.

    Obama’s Stocks

    In 2007 reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after Obama joined the Senate, he purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. (Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.)

    The investments came at a time when Mr. Obama was enjoying sudden financial success, following his victory at the polls in November 2004. He had signed a $1.9 million book deal, and his ethics disclosure reports show that he received $1.2 million of book money in 2005.

    His wife, Michelle, a hospital vice president in Chicago, received a promotion that March, nearly tripling her salary to $317,000, and they bought a $1.6 million house in June. The house sat on a large property that was subdivided to make it more affordable, and one of Mr. Obama’s political donors bought the adjacent lot.

    The disclosure forms show that the Obamas also placed several hundred thousand dollars in a new private-client account at JPMorgan Chase, a bond fund and a checking account at a Chicago bank.

    But he put $50,000 to $100,000 into an account at UBS, which his aides say was recommended to him by a wealthy friend, George W. Haywood, who was also a major investor in both Skyterra and AVI BioPharma, public securities filings show.

    Mr. Haywood and his wife, Cheryl, have contributed close to $50,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns and to his political action committee, the Hopefund. Mr. Haywood declined to comment.

    Within two weeks of his purchase of the biotech stock, Mr. Obama initiated what he has called “one of my top priorities since arriving in the Senate,” a push to increase federal financing to fight avian flu. The drug company in which he invested, AVI BioPharma, had been working to develop its own medicine to treat avian flu victims.

    And you are?….

    Are you an attorney, Mr. Weaver?

    Have you served at the state Attorney General level of any state?

    A federal judge has already reviewed the lawsuit and let it stand as open.

    Notice of lawsuit has already been served to Mr. Obama, the DNC, and the FEC. TROs may follow but:

    Time is the real culprit on this one. It may simply not get through the proper court proceedures before the election is over.

    While some say wiki isn’t a good source, it stands, so far as cited evidence.

    Yes, some label Berg as a flake.

    But Obama hasn’t exactly some clean, either.

    When will you guys apologize for all the sexist crap that has been hurled at Senator Clinton and Governor Palin?

  • vinnie

    Noticed that gail comes here and use the race card everyday? She thinks it’s racist because the text scrolling up the screen is white and it’s against a black background, get it?

  • Indy

    POD4Obama (aka “Gail”), UW asked a question based on factual info. So, you trash her and trash Bill Clinton. UW is someone to be admired, not trashed by the likes of you. And Bill Clinton’s sex life (and the Clinton marriage) is not your(our our) business.

  • vinnie

    She has Cerebal Palsy you f*ckin’ moron! Karma, Gail, just remember that.

    Anything other than a victory on Nov. will be suspicious.

    A McCain “victory” will start a revolution in this country.

    The ad is RACIST?????!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah – that’s right – anything or anyone who examines the REAL Barack Obama is RACIST. Right – uh huh – and I suppose this flagrantly lying, dishonest ad that Obama put out about McCain…IN SPANISH…on the SPANISH channel about IMMIGRANTS …isn’t just a tad bit sleazy and racist?

    By the way, McCain is the one who DIDN’T tow his party line in relation to their views on immigration but that fact didn’t stop OBAMA from his sleazy LIES.

  • canucklehead

    I watch the MSM and hear not one single critisism of Obama. I listen to talk radio and hear not one single good thing about Obama. Trouble is, talk radio seems able to support their negative assessments with facts, while the MSM never mentions the facts. At the end of the day who do the American people rely on to make a decision? Which medium has more impact? As a canadian who can’t vote, I was just wondereing.

  • kgirl1028

    He might win, but i’m going to make sure we beat his behind the right way, before he does. He’s going to earn that seat one way or the other, there will be no alice palmers and Ryans this time around. This time we are give obama the coloscopy he desrves, and we are doing it with no versed, we want him awake so he can remember who the hell he’s dealing with, cause you sure as hell won’t. And the minute he screws up, we will call for his head, and yours cause it’s not like you didn’t know. Keep screwing with us we are americans and we can and will kick your behinds. WE dump tea in harbors, and tell kings to go screw themselves, we are decendents of people, who made sea voyages in deplurable conditions, we have survived slavory, and exploitations. Some of us have grandparents and parts with numbers tattooed into their skin, parents that set on back of buses, we’ve been spet on and beaten. We’ve been under valued, forced to live in rotten conditions, we have ridden on wagontrains out into the unknown, so if you think you are going to talk junk to us, be warned, we’ve heard it all before, and we will take all the crap you sling at us just so we can make you eat it later. Keep it up bots, your messing with the wrong ones, working class americans are nothing to play with. You can terrorize middle class america, but you are just pissing us off.

  • Community Organizer In Chief

    You got it. Even electrons are racists.

  • kgirl1028

    that stopped when you lied on bill Clinton and called him racist. Gloves off. Dont’ dish what you cant take.

  • Community Organizer In Chief

    …well, you can hope it’s over quickly.

  • jwrjr

    Since the birth certificate is demonstrably not “as real as the day is long”, your statement is at best hypothetical and at worst bullsh*t.

  • kgirl1028

    Yes my dear but you miss the important point, if barak obama is just another politician than that means he needs to betreated like one, If he was then that means he should have A. been vetted which he has not, b. been required to get experience before being placed on the top of a national ticket. If you didn’t want me to vote for McCain then you should have shafted the best choice. Now I go for second best. Can you actually wrap you mind around the concept, that i want a president, that has some idea of what the hell he’s doing, i’ve done inept and inexperienced for eight years with bush, not doing it again.

  • Zelda Crunch

    These clips are getting a lot more hits than the old Hill clips used to get. Are people finally waking up?

  • Zelda Crunch

    Wow. That’s weird. Perhaps television is considered more of an entertainment medium and people who listen to radio are expected to have brains – to be more serious thinkers? Whatever – that’s weird. At least one channel is still assessing the truth.

  • Tristan

    This is a funny ad, but I personally don’t think negative ads are helping McCain right now.

  • hootnannie

    The ad reminds me of the Willie Horton one. But, hey, inferred racism is necessarily in the eye of the beholder. I see it in commercials in which the Obamaniac media never utters a peep (like the one which states “how disrespectful” Bobo is of Palin). Racist appeals have to be subtle, almost subliminal, to work. People can already see what ethnicity a candidate is, and just pointing it out has no effect. Many believe, for instance, that Jesse Helms beat Harvey Gant because of the ad about a minority getting a job before a white guy. But wasn’t Helms probably going to win anyway? The punch in the Kwame ad is that it points out still one more black man in BO’s orbit who has been gaming the system and crying victim. If racially nervous white people get the idea that fellow ethnics of any sort are ganging up against them to demand special treatment or political revenge, they will not put that candidate in office.

  • Eden

    lol…simple and to the point
    and completely accurate

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Why is it racist? Are you suggesting that because both Obama and the convicted mayor are both black, that the purveyor of the ad is “picking on” black people somehow?

    Is that your dull thought process?

    It certainly is VULGAR (the truth often is)–as is Obama’s association with Rezko and Ayers. Ooooh, they aren’t black though, so talking about them–that’s not racist, is it?

    Or is it that any time you say anything not flakily flattering about Barack, it’s racist? Somehow, I believe that’s your pathetic and desperate definition of the term.

  • http://! Clinton Fan

    Yep, they’re stupid as well as irony-impaired!

    It’s a deadly combo!!

    :lol:

  • No Way, No How, NoBama

    Obama told Kilpatrick to stay home and not attend the Democratic National Convention. A few weeks later, Obama issued a public statement asking Kilpatrick to accept the plea deal. Why did Obama, who so highly praised Kilpatrick, not do this privately? Why did he feel it necessary to be so overt about it? Interesting. And yet another Obama “friend” is thrown “under the bus”.

    The Michigan Dems have tried to protect Obama from the fallout of this so they designed an out for him. The Mayor was going to be out of office the following morning either way–either he took the plea deal (and he actually had privately accepted) or he awaited the governor’s proceedings which would have put him out the next morning anyway. Once Obama knew he was out either way, he finally released a statement the night before, not anytime in the 6 mos. since the mayor was indicted for felonies and yet stubbornly clinged to his position and power as a bargaining chip.

    Obama didn’t show leadership when he REALLY needed to tell the mayor to step down. He waited until it was a done deal to make the statement so as to distance himself from the fallout.

  • No Way, No How, NoBama

    By the way, the scandal also involves settlement money given to the cops that sued for being wrongly dismissed and/or demoted for investigating a strippers murder after an “urban legend” party at the mayors mansion.

    Once the mayor knew that perjury could be proven with the text messages he used his office (attorneys, etc.) to conceal a 8.4 million dollar settlement (with taxpayer money) and deceived city council into signing onto the agreement without knowing the secret deal.

    This story will get much worse but not until after the election.

    Jules:

    Apparently it should be glossed over that Detroit — one of the poorest cities — had to pay two police officers $8.4 Million in this tragic turn of events all because one rotten politician could not keep his hands to himself.

  • Jules

    Falsely crying racism is so easy and provocative. “Racism” is the easiest way out of accepting responsibility for one’s actions when there is no other defense whatsoever.

  • beebop

    Well …. he did manage to avoid the full 90 years in jail that the sentence should have brought. That’s something.

  • Jules

    THEY should be running for president then. Not the terrorist-lover. Leaders have to watch out for ALL of the people…not just certain colors.

  • beebop

    One of Vick’s pit bulls that never made the cut.

  • Jules

    Only because it makes it easier to play the race card if you are black. Arabs/whites have a hard time using that one whenever it’s convenient.

  • Barack “Community Organizer In Chief” Obama, King of Fools

    it makes me sick. you are putting Obama as an associate of every criminal in town – just ridiculous.

    If you can’t stand the heat, get under the bus.

    This is not the “Gail” that I knew.

  • Barack “Community Organizer In Chief” Obama, King of Fools

    Why yes, I did.

  • Barack “Community Organizer In Chief” Obama, King of Fools

    I would like to answer her but don’t know where to gather the information.

    What you need is in the Yellow Pages. Under Proctologists / Cranial Extractions.

  • Barack “Community Organizer In Chief” Obama, King of Fools

    But Kwame hurting Obama? Unlikely. They wasted their money on that ad.

    Not in Michigan. The number of disaffected Democrats is through the roof here.

  • http://JohnMcCain.com Berserk Ohitler is the embodiment of pure evil.

    I happen to believe his certificate is legit.

    There is a big fat lie in the middle of the word believe. Belief is not a substitute for logic.

    By the way troll you were way off topic. This thread was about the Obama/Kilpatrick embarrassment.

  • mimi

    Kilpatrick is guilty. He did these things. He took a plea and had to resign.

    The ad is typical in politics. Guilt by association. Ads like this have been run against all politicians if an associate gets caught doing something illegal.

    An example of a racist political ad is the one they ran against Harold Ford when he was running for the Senate in 2006, linking him with some blonde woman who claimed to have simply met him at the Playboy Mansion.

    That’s racist.

    If someone ran an ad linking 0bama to 0J Simpson, that would be racist!

    Ahhhhhhh…and that is why you are HERE…because you’re so SURE of that (snicker!).

    You telegraph your fear with every post.

    Not terribly subtle, either.

    Perhaps an OFFSHORED troll! They’re in a sweatshop in Mumbai!!!

    Of course, they’re being deliberately sharp, along with being purposefully obtuse, as they know they are only getting three bucks an hour, and they’re justifiably still annoyed over Biden’s idiotic comments re: Dunkin Donuts and 7-11 franchisees!
