Public shouldn’t fall for Obama’s rhetoric
The Ironton Tribune ^ | Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:36 AM EDT | Joseph Benning

The political correctness thought police won’t tolerate what you’re about to read.

I’m throwing the “bogus” flag upon the presidential bid of Marxist-Socialist turned Democrat Senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama.

Somewhere around 75 or so years ago, from out of nowhere a stealth politician arose.

He too sought the nomination for his nation’s highest office; refreshingly different from other politicians of the era. This Austrian born wallpaper hanger’s background is too much like our Illinois lawyer’s. Both reared in single parent households; neither brought much of a resume on the campaign trail. The one hung wallpaper the other hung “present” votes. Neither has an authentic performance record for which the electorate might judge the candidate.

Our lawyer turned Senator keeps some odd company — maybe we should pay more attention to the “community” Mr. Obama keeps as a “Community Activist.” Because the company the paper hanger kept, unfortunately, wasn’t important to the inspired masses of three-quarters of a century ago. This clean and articulate new politician was active in a community of Marx inspired Socialists.

The paper hanger, just as the lawyer, delivered wonderful, inspirational public speeches. Both spoke of the “change” and “hope” their election might bring if people would “believe in” their country. Steeped in a similar class warfare rhetoric; their speeches emphasize the rich were keeping the poor people down.

Meanwhile, energy prices were raging out of control. If the streetcar was late, you’d miss a bank deposit; so now you’ll get more warmth from burning your wheelbarrow full of bank notes than from the coal you’d purchase by the bill’s face value. “Change” would improve the transportation infrastructure.

And in both cases “change” means free health care for everyone, increased equal rights, a retirement income, guaranteed wages, unemployment benefits, free child care, and more gun control. Trains and streetcars would run on time only if their party was elected. The list went on and on. The candidate gave people “hope.” It was the kind of “change” people might “believe in.”

Unfortunately, for both cases, the mass media is mesmerized by the candidate’s rhetoric and oratory style, instead of questioning the unknown candidate’s background extensively.

Without a track record to judge the man by, people simply fall for the rhetoric. The German people had to “believe.” They wanted “change.” And through “hope,” they only had to “believe” what Adolph Hitler and the Nazis said; without questioning what Hitler and his Marxist-Socialists pals had really designed behind the scenes.

Certainly, it was “change.” Did Germany “believe” this might happen? Was this the kind of “change” everybody would “hope” for and “believe in?” These are “just words,” as Senator Obama says. Relativism, whatever anyone wants the “words” to mean.

According to a Daniel Flynn expose titled Obama’s Boys of Summer, (http://www.city-journal.org/2008/eon0629df.html) the lawyer’s community is the Who’s Who of the 1968 Democratic Convention Marxist-Socialist inspired Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground movements.

Michael Klonsky, Carl Davidson, Bob Pardun, Paul Buhle, Tom Hayden, Todd Gitlin, plus Mickey and Dick Flacks. Yes, we ought to know more about this “community” of Marx inspired Socialists our lawyer Barry is “active” in.

The Nazis always knew what their version of Adolph’s “words” meant to them. To the public these “words” were vague platitudes which could be interpreted in any feel good way. Nobody cared to ask what Mr. Hitler’s “words” meant. And too little was known about the National Socialist community he actively kept.

Later, in the spirit of “fairness,” the opposition press was silenced. Guns were controlled, religion was suppressed; and the world again experienced what a Marxist-Socialist actually means by “change.”

Suggesting simply because the author dares to broach the striking similarities, Political Correctness renders the discussion dead?

An obama supporter (Neo) is attacking the site and informed Mr.Benning that he (Neo) had reported him to the obama camp.

I left a few positive ratings for Benning.

Greetings Thinkin:

My wife alerted me to today’s Ironton Tribune op-ed, and I thought it might make a great FR Ohio discussion thread.

Given Senator Obama has done nothing in his life but run for office, why should anyone support him for President? However, it seems Mr. Neo isn’t interested in reason, logic, or facts; guessing that’s all it takes to be an Obama supporter.

Cheers,
OLA

I had this conversation with a female professional in San Francisco today. I said, “Obama troubles me.” She asked, “Why?” I told her that I had read “Dreams from My Father” and asked her if she did. She replied, “No?”. She asked what troubled me about the book. I told her it was the drugs, the active seeking of Marxist inspiration and the deep seated anti-white racism despite being raised by white grandparents.

She said, “A person shouldn’t be judged on what they write in their youth. People can change...evolve.” I told her I found that highly suspect. I told her he was over 30 when he wrote the book. I told her that my core values were pretty much in place by the time I graduated college at 22. I told her that Reagan governed very much in the vein of his statements that he made back during the Goldwater campaign. I told her that the Reich Chancellor governed just like his views in “Mein Kampf”.

She paused. She thought. She said, “Did you know that I’m Jewish?” I said, “No.” We were silent together for a while.

While reading Audacity of Hope, my reflections where how the book reeks of Marx style class warfare rhetoric.

I looked at your personal page. Thank you so much for your service. And thank you for the video of 9/11 - so we will all - never forget! God bless you.

Some how the “Obama is a communist” and “Obama is Hitler” thing is already getting tired. Obama doesn’t have a scapegoat (in Hitlers case Communists and Jews & Versailles) in his speeches. The comparison is a loser except for the extreme right that wouldn’t vote for him anyway. Hitler talked about heads rolling, Obama talks about healing divisions. In other words Hitler was telling the truth and people liked it. Obama, on the other hand probably has a hidden agenda. Stick to the left-wing comparisons and not the Nazi ones - it is too extreme and, in my opinion, inappropriate.

Wow! You write beautifully!
I don’t know if that is a true story or not but it should be.
Thank you.

Greetings Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit:

This is very creepy, but I think the author is spot on. Obama has named scapegoats: "Reaganomics," "the wealthy," and "NAFTA."

And in today's speech, Obama suggests creating a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar U.S. Armed Forces.

Those who fail to learn from history are damned to relive it. Unfortunately, political correctness prohibits anyone from making such observations.
