If something might make folks justifiably upset...
shhhhh - don’t mention it
After running Palin’s “pal around with terrorists” line, [Terry ] Mor
aon darkly characterized: “Attacks that stoked theanger at Republican rallies, where there have been reports of attendees yelling things like ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him.’” ...Moran asked Biden: “Are you at all concerned in this home stretch for Senator Obama’s safety?”...
Biden denied that, but suggested that McCain and Palin “encourage people who are really fringe people."
Cuz only a bitterIcyunstableraacistredneckby which I mean raacist ig’rent clinger would care about alliances with terrorists and being the ramrod on a board that gives piles of money to “Afro-centric, right-brained, anti-capitalist” education organizations.

PUMA! Rowrrr!!
strange bedfellows, indeed...
I repeat myself: O-ByAnyMeansNecessaryA = O-bamna
HillBuzz:
During the primaries, anti-Obama blogs on Blogspot.com disappeared left and right: Obama supporters systematically attacked them, reporting them as “adult content” or “spam” so Blogspt would shut them down. Blogspot is owned by Google, and Google’s top executives all back Obama. Wonder if there is a connection there.Will Bower, one of the founders of Just Say No Deal, just had his Facebook account seized, for unexplained reasons. Bower had been using Facebook to coordinate anti-Obama activities leading up to the election. Facebook’s founders all back Obama. Wonder if there is a connection there.
...Hillary Clinton supporters have seen this horror movie before — we know what happens, we know all the twists and turns. ...HillBuzz archives go back to February when we started this site to collect every rotten thing Obama and his supporters, complicit with the DNC did. Republicans: read what we went through before every single primary. It’s what’s happening to you now, in the last two weeks of this campaign.
Their advice is good: if you see a site you know to be Nobama go down/disappear, dash off a quick email to a more stable Conservative blog. Dash off another to anyone you may know in the MSM. [stop laffin’ - it could work]

Remember - this is from Hillary!?-supporters.
You are up against people worse than anything McGovern put forward back in ‘72 — they have no decency, no scruples, and if they stooped to making fun of newborn Trig Palin and inventing crazed, incestuous conspiracies about him, you must realize they will do absolutely anything to depress Republican turnout, lower your morale, and breed Eeyores in your midst.
DON’T LET THEM.
Let’s crush their spirits!!

Blowback
teh not-funnay
I never got the whole concept behind Palin doing SNL. I mean, it’s not like anything teh funnay has come out of studio 8H in a quarter century. Fah what? Ok - she’s real people; but we already knew that. Whatevah.
Now via M/P campaign email comes this:
Dear Supporter,
If you caught my guest appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, you may have seen an ad or two (or twenty) from Senator Obama’s campaign.
This barrage of advertising is adding up to the most expensive negative ad buy in political history. And these ads are funded with the nearly $200 million the Obama campaign and the DNC raised in September.
So not only did her appearance give SNL giganto ratings, which it didn’t deserve, it gave those giganto ratings to the O-bamna crapfest ads.
Way to ruin a perfectly good pair of pumps, Gov. I’d have thought her aim was better....
[Good line, tho:
If Senator Obama is elected and Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid are in charge of Congress, there will be nothing stopping them from raising your taxes, immediately pulling out of Iraq and placing your healthcare decisions in the hands of government bureaucrats.
I would have used the phrase “surrendering to alQaeda in Iraq,” but there ya go....
"I Disagree" = "N*****!!!"
“Disagree” = “N*****!!!”
lightworker dawning
You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.
The “socialist” label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality.
Those freedom fighters included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., ... W.E.B. Du Bois... Paul Robeson... and A. Philip Randolph, ...
McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black ...
Shame on McCain and Palin.

just askin’ questions
Why would an international financier give a small wet hoot about a junior Senator from a random state like IL?
...Soros and his family gave Barack Obama $60,000. [for his IL Senate campaign] ...
[a loophole in McCain-Feingold: Normally individuals are limited to giving $2300 to candidates in federal elections, but when candidates are running against millionaires, these limits are lifted and candidates are allowed to receive up to $12,000 from a single individual.]
...This does not include money that Soros was able to funnel to so-called 527 groups

Things in the oddest places...
at the oddest times
In an article about O-bamna suspending his campaign briefly to visit his ailing Grandmother [be genteel in your comments on this, please - we ain’t them] we find this oddly juxtapositioned pair of statements:
Obama noted McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told reporters on Sunday that if she called the shots she would end the automated phone calls being made by McCain’s campaign, including some that link Obama with 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
Ok - for whatever reason, Palin would end the robocalls linking That One with Ayers. [though, as McCain pointed out, every statement in the calls is true] Then That One follows with this clearly not negative or personal or ad hominem comment:
"You have to work really hard to violate Gov. Palin’s standards on negative campaigning,” Obama said.
Nice. That Nice One…
But then again, I’m just an Icy bitter xenophobic clinger who’s not all that well balanced… what would *I* know?
Impact!!!
*crickets*
That raaacist Stanley Kurtz is at it again; researching, connecting dots, asking questions. If he were doing this much good work on McCain’s background he’d already be Secretary of The Media for O-BAMNa.
...oh, wait - we already know about McCain’s background.
To get a sense of where the New Party stood politically, consider some of its early supporters: Barbara Dudley of Greenpeace; Steve Cobble, political director of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coaltion; prominent academics like Frances Fox Piven, coauthor of the “Cloward-Piven strategy” and a leader of the drive for the “motor-voter” legislation Obama later defended in court on behalf of ACORN; economist Juliet Schor; black historian Manning Marable; historian Howard Zinn; linguist Noam Chomsky; Todd Gitlin; and writers like Gloria Steinem and Barbara Ehrenreich. Socialist? Readers can draw their own conclusions. At one point, Sifry does describe the party’s goals as “social democratic.” In any case, the New Party clearly stands substantially to the left of the mainstream Democratic party.
[there’s a link in the original for every name]
More on the ACORN connection - *clicky* that linky.
Also, more on the Cloward-Piven Strategy. Read that, then look at the Ohio voter registration fraud/voter fraud, early votingat political rallys, 13 states with voter registration fraud, FBI investigation . . .
Then ask where the coverage of the Free Press is? And where is our security?
Paintin' It Red
hope and change
...wonder what Biden meant by this?
Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy...The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.
Remember I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s going happen. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. ...
I promise you, you all are going to be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough?’ We’re going have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. I’m asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.
... And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.
...Gird your loins ... we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. The next president is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just ... - think about it, literally, think about it - this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets,... This is a systemic problem we have with this economy...
I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I’m not being falsely humble with you. ... This guy has it. But he’s gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, ‘Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? ...Why is this thing so tough?’
We’re gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I’m asking you now, I’m asking you now be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you’re going to have to reinforce us.
There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ‘Whoa, wait a minute… I don’t know about that decision.’ Because if you think the decision is sound when they’re made, which I believe you will when they’re made, they’re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.
[retelling of the bogus ‘my helicopter was forced down’ story]
We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes. It’s so much more important than that. It’s so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it.
...
I probably shouldn’t have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here...

Polling, Perception & Clever Hans
too clever by half?
Zombietime: he’s not only a great photojournalist, he’s a thinker, too. His essay, The Left’s Big Blunder makes a good Sunday night read.
Oh! ...My
who knew?!?
WSJ seems to be on to something here; think it’ll be picked up by those hard-working vetting journalistos?
Despite having authored two autobiographies, Barack Obama has never written about his most important executive experience. From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists.
...The CAC was the brainchild of Bill Ayers… In early 1995, Mr. Obama was appointed the first chairman of the board, which handled fiscal matters. Mr. Ayers co-chaired the foundation’s other key body, the “Collaborative,” which shaped education policy.
...Mr. Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression. His preferred alternative? “I’m a radical, Leftist, small ‘c’ communist,” Mr. Ayers said in an interview in Ron Chepesiuk’s, “Sixties Radicals,” at about the same time Mr. Ayers was forming CAC.
CAC translated Mr. Ayers’s radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with “external partners,” which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).
...CAC’s in-house evaluators comprehensively studied the effects of its grants on the test scores of Chicago public-school students. They found no evidence of educational improvement.
“Leadership!”

In case the pic is hard to see:
He was there in Chicago because he cared about these people. They were his family. People in Kenya were his family. Indonesians were his family.
And no matter where he was, the world was his home. And who he was could be summed up in one word: lovable.
Who Sed This?
MSM: “uh, I dunno...
"It’s not that I want to punish your success. I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success, too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody."

Tax Slave to the World?
camel’s nose
Here’s another place Joe the Plumber’s increased taxes will go. ...oh, and yours ...and mine.
The Global Poverty Act of 2007 currently before Congress, is superfluous, misguided, and dangerous…
[recommended read]
Its current status:
search for: H.R.1302 and S.2433
Latest Major Action: 4/24/2008 Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 718....The Global Poverty Act does not mandate new spending by the United States, nor does it commit the United States to any future spending. This bill does not commit the United States to advance the other Millennium Development Goals. Similarly, this bill does not commit the United States to other United Nations policy goals or imply concurrence with any other United Nations statements.
... implementing S. 2433 would cost less than $1 million per year, assuming the availability of appropriated funds.
Which is true - this bill requires only that “the President ... develop and implement a comprehensive strategy.” It’s that strategy to achieve “Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide...who live on less than $1 per day” that’s gonna cost us.
The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.
From the UN:
The commitment to provide 0.7% of gross national product (GNP) as official development assistance was first made 35 years ago in a General Assembly resolution, but it has been reaffirmed repeatedly over the years… However, in 2004, total aid from the industrialized countries totaled just $78.6 billion —or about 0.25% of their collective GNP.
Here’s an interesting piece of the over-all puzzle - any quid pros in this quo?
Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee… on Thursday, February 14, ... is trying to rush Obama’s “Global Poverty Act” (S.2433) through his committee.
FYI: United Nations Millennium Declaration
