Terrorists Admire Obama, NY Times Belatedly Reports
Boycott The New York Times ^ | November 10, 2008 | Don Feder

Posted on 11/10/2008 12:35:40 PM PST by AIM Freeper

Now that the election is over and Barack Hussein Obama is set to become the 44th president of the United States, The New York Times is finally able to admit that Obama is adored by terrorists and totalitarians worldwide.

In a November 8 news story, “Jihadi Leader Says Radicals Share Obama Victory,” The Times reported, “The leader of a jihadi group in Iraq argued Friday that the election of Barack Obama as president represented a victory for radical Islamic groups that had battled American forces since the invasion of Iraq.” The leader is Abu Omar al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State of Iraq, which has ties to Al Qaeda.

The article says Baghdadi’s declaration is “a claim that has already begun to resonate among the radical faithful.”

True enough. But, why didn’t The Times report on Obama’s support from communists and Islamacists before the election? After all, it wasn’t exactly a national secret.

* In May, Fidel Castro wrote in Granma that he believed Obama was “doubtless, from the social and human points of view, the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency.” Venezuela’s Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez agreed.

* In October, Ali Larijani, speaker of the Iranian Parliament, called Obama “more flexible and rational” than John McCain.

* In April, top Hamas political advisor Ahmed Yousef compared Obama to John F. Kennedy, and lauded the Democrat as a “great man, with great principle” and “a vision to change.”

The Times chose not to cover the foregoing, for fear it would harm its candidate if voters knew that terrorists and thugs were rooting for the “candidate of change.”

As an adjunct of the Obama campaign, The New York Times managed news of the presidential race with excruciating care.

I hate the news media more than I hate Obama, and I can’t wait until more of these SOBs close up shop. Viva la Internet!

How could anyone claim to be ignorant of the fact that terrorists admired Obama?

This was well-known before the election and anyone who voted for this man has no excuse for not figuring this out or, literally, ignoring the facts.

Just another example of the barn doors being shut after the animals have all escaped.

Thanks a million, MSM Pravda.

Obama will be in a pickle if he disappoints the terrorists.

It wouldn’t have mattered to his voters at all.

Some people think that the MSM will turn on Obama. I don’t think so. I think that they will now try very hard to prove that they were right for being in the tank for Obama. Chris Mathews has already come out and said that he is going to do everything he can to help Obama be successful.

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)#Chronology_of_events

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It has become PAINFULLY obvious to me that we have huge numbers of voters who are WILLFULLY IGNORANT! These are people who literally don’t want to know anything, they base their vote purely on emotional reaction to the candidate based on looks, personality, charisma etc. It is sickening to have to accept this but I have met many personally and have seen others on youtube and on national television. This type is not interested in the facts, they have the attitude described by the old cliche that is no longer heard,”Don’t confuse me with the facts”. It makes me want to move to a small island somewhere where no one whose brain is devoid of live cells is allowed to enter.

Democracy is through in America. The voters are not interested in learning the truth about the Farrakhan appointed messiah. I am waiting to be hauled off to a re-education and sensitivity training camp once BHO and his neo-coms take office.

Well that could be, but I think people put too much emphasis on the here and now, and the here and now is the economy. People expect a cushy lifestyle and do not have the discipline it will take to ride out hard times. The blinders on their eyes make it difficult to see the other issues, let alone think about them.

It makes me want to move to a small island somewhere where no one whose brain is devoid of live cells is allowed to enter.

I will join you.

What ever it takes to keep FR up and running, and whatever we need to do to help solid Conservatives (Traditionalists and Constitutionalists) win Governorships and Congressional Seats, we need to do it.

Promote FR and other Conservative websites. (Like www.PatriotPost.us)

As they say “Annoy a Liberal” and “Join the Resistance” (FreeRepublic.com) Buy mugs and bumper stickers at the www.PatriotShop.us/
