Looks like the black power movement is culminating in Obama. No wonder the lefties are ga-ga over him.

General Limbaugh needs to change the focus of Operation Chaos. Crossover GOP voters should now vote for Obama, not Clinton. He is going to be the easier of the two to defeat, IMO.

When Obama says ‘we’, it’s not completely clear to whom he is referring.

Should be easy enough to acquire the video from CSPAN, who covered that silly march extensively, and find Obama with Farrakhan in it.

Exactly but be clear that the WE he is empowering is not you or I.

When Wright says KKK of America what he really means is Conservative Coalition of America.

If you disagree with the Politics of Obama you will be tagged as intolerant, homophobic, racist, bigotted, White Christian Conservative.

From a post the other day.

... In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington...

Project Vote’ Brings Power to the People
Chicago Sun-Times - August 11, 1992
Author: Vernon Jarrett

“Our biggest problem is the young, the 18 to 35 group,” said Obama , 31, the first African American to serve as president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. “There's a lot of talk about `black power’ among the young but so little action.”

Really? Tammy Bruce is subbing for Laura today and she read a poll where Obama is up again. The MSM isn’t going to help take down their messiah and his voters are not going to get off the kool-aid.

Barack Obama did take part in Louis Farrakhan’s Million Man March

Did Obama also take part in the Promise Keepers 2 Million Man March latter that fall? I don't remember seeing him.

Here is the most repulsive part of what Obama told the Chicago Reader in 1995:

The goal was not to pick the winner, the goal was to keep the fight going as long as possible, and Hillary still has to win all the races if this is going to the convention.

WRONG. What's wrong with you folks? Really? It doesn't get any simpler. If somehow Hillary gets in, the Dem party will be destroyed and demoralized.

Obama's the "fresh" face, and the media LOVES him... Obama will be FAR more difficult to beat, and FAR more dangerous if he gets into office.

Rush just said that it looks very good for McCain to beat either of these two, saying that McCain now has two choices: go for victory as a moderate maverick or secure his base.

Also, the Dems realize that McCain is the strongest candidate and that's why they want Mrs. Clinton to exit stage left now so that Obama will stop bleeding from pastorgate.

The million man march. It happened in 1995, and if you take the number 20, which is the number of years Barrak spent at Trinity church, you get 100 (rounded). 100 one century. One century is the time between the end of the civil war and the civil rights bill. It been 24 years since the civil rights bill. 24 times 1,000,000 men march is 24 million- the number of votes Barrak will get in the primary.

Thanks for your scientific mathmatics. It does bring back such wonderful memories of Farrakhan’s logic. Good thing you posted it today. If you had waited for April first, it would be disregarded. Now, however, I can take it seriously!!!!!

Thanks for the info... I think he’s doing his best to sabatoge it. I’m not really sure he really wants to win badly enough.
