That is flat out awesome!
BarackBook ping.
I can’t stop chuckling.
Just checked Facebook, and here are the results.
Online presidential hardball. I love it!!
May or may not be tech ping worthy, but I thought you would find it to be interesting none the less. :)
Crap. If you are a member, you’ll see that BarackBook has already been co-opted and possibly removed.
“Barack Obama is now friends with Unnamed Philadelphia Street Organizer”
FOFL! Somebody at the RNC has a terrific sense of humor.

“[W]illiam Ayers … [Was] A Founding Member Of The Group That Bombed The U.S. Capitol And The Pentagon During The 1970s.” (Russell Berman, “Obama’s Ties To Left Come Under Scrutiny,” The New York Sun, 2/19/08)
* Ayers’ Wife And Fellow Weather Underground Leader, Bernardine Dohrn, Appeared On The FBI’s Most Wanted List Prior To Her Surrender To Authorities In 1980. (James Litke, “Fugitive Leader Surrenders With No Regrets,” The Associated Press, 12/4/80)
Did Bernardine Dohrn Mentor Michelle [Robinson] Obama at Chicago Law Firm?
The media has been very gentle on Michelle Obama, but one blogger asks a very interesting question about Bernardine Dohrn’s possible mentoring of Michelle at Sidley Austin in Chicago, where
Dohrn worked as a paralegal [her felony conviction meant she couldn’t pass the Illinois bar exam] while Michelle was an intern during summers while in law school. Michelle was later taken into the prestigious firm when she graduated from Harvard Law. Michelle in turn mentored Obama in ‘89 & they eventually married.
The MSM will never ask any questions about Dohrn & Michelle [Robinson] Obama intersecting at Sidley Austin.
What I’d like to know is why Michelle Obama gave up her law license in 1993.
It’s hysterical and diabolically clever.

The absolute best part is that it’s all referenced with facts.
Nice website.
Very humorous but has some information concerned voters should review.
LOL
Well, on second thought. It has been up for a long time, at least since June.
I’m keeping my money.
Velveeta, a Freeper posted a comment here about how obama and michelle couldn’t renew their licenses because they could get investigated for money laundering. A link was asked for, put wasn’t provided at the time I was looking at the thread. I wish I could remember what thread it was on. I just saw it this afternoon.
It was a very interesting comment. I’ll go look and see if I can find the thread. Maybe a link was posted.
Thanks for the ping!
If you find it, Caligirl, please do let me know.
She was licensed to practice law for only 5 years. In 1993, a mere one year after her marriage to Barry, she is “voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law”
Illinois Registration Status: Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law - Last Registered Year: 1993
Malpractice Insurance: (Current as of date of registration;
consult attorney for further information) No malpractice report required as attorney is on court ordered inactive status.
Court ordered inactive status
https://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=345050216
Funny, Wikipedia doesn’t even mention that she’s not authorized to practice law.
I love how the ratings for the Barackbook, it seems, are so low. 1.6 out of 5, it sounds like it is referencing the Barackbook. Maybe Barack needs to get that out to his Missouri Truth Squads.
LOL, I’m still looking. Checking all the threads that are “purple”. Now it’s like a game. Or I’m a little anal, hahaha.
I can’t find the comment. But I did google “obama money laundering” and there are quite a few stories written. Just perused a few, some say back when he was lawyering.
Now I got curiouser and googled “obama and michelle law licenses” and lots of bloggers fishing for answers too.
So, any idea when Rev. Wright or Larry Sinclair will appear as friends?

This page is great! Finally, the RNC now is fighting. I only hope and pray that McCain doesn’t stop them [or fails to try].
Glad to see this. How can we verify that this is an official RNC site? [Great resoucre regardless.]
Outstanding website. Great to see the GOP doing the work McCain won’t.
"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' He said, 'I realized...America was an evil... and that I was... living inside the belly of the beast...' "

"FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare."

Weather Underground Organization linked to North Vietnamese and Cuban governments, KGB (my title)
[420 pages in all on pdf]
Source: FBI, via Freedom of Information Act
In 1976, the FBI's Chicago Field Office prepared a summary which described the activities of the Weather Underground Organization, also known as Weathermen. This organization described itself as a revolutionary organization of communist men and women. The FBI's analysis of its motivations, beliefs, and international travels are outlined in this summary.
[some excerpts from the 1976 report linking the organization to foreign governments...]
From the moment in October, 1967, when Radio Hanoi announced the formation of the South Vietnamese Peoples Committee for Solidarity with American People (by the National Liberation Front (NLF), the political arm of the Viet Cong) with the objective of establishing relations with "progressive organizations and individuals in the United States," a political front was enjoined in behalf of the national interests of the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam (DRV) (and the NLF), the purpose of which was to intensify the anti-war sentiment in the United States.
From the initial meeting between the Vietnamese and leading anti-war activists held in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, in November, 1967, to the July, 1969, meeting with leading Weatherpeople held in Havana, Cuba, the influence of Vietnamese representatives on the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) leadership became sharply pronounced. At the same time, the example of the Cuban revolution became the guide for the emerging American student revolutionary. With an increasing number of trips to Havana where the youthful revolutionary could learn at first hand how to create revolution, the influence of Cuba on the developing WUO [Weather Underground Organization] was enormous.
The WUO obtained their revolutionary methodology from the Cubans and Vietnamese and, importantly, put into practice what they had learned from them. The Weathermen, of course, did not just happen to come about during the June, 1969, SDS National Convention. They fully admit their radical heritage began during experiences gained in SDS and as shown herein their international contacts with representatives of the DRV and NLF which began in 1967 increased their anti-imperialist consciousness so that by 1969 they had solidified their revolutionary commitment to include the maximum optimum of armed struggle. So, when Huynh Van Ba, representative of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), instructed the WUO to "look for the person who fights hardest against the cops...Don't look for the one who says the best thing. Look for the one who fights," the campus base was forgotten and the WUO began to recruit the greasers and assorted oddments who had displayed their hatred of authority in direct combat with police.

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'
He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.
Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

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."

Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!
"Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.
We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.
Source: Bill Ayers' own website:
http://billayers.wordpress.com/2008/04/page/2/
"a better world is both possible and necessary"
Looks to me like Bill Ayers stole (or borrowed) this phrase from Bob Avakian, chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Both the Weather Underground and RCP have roots in the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) organization.
"The following is an excerpt from an historic talk by Chairman Bob Avakian, soon to be available on video and DVD from Three Q Productions-REVOLUTION: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About. This talk, delivered in 2003, followed by questions and answers, is a wide- ranging revolutionary journey, covering many topics."

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:
"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

[Obama] is named Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge founded by Bill Ayers
(article typo has Ayers instead of Obama)
In late 1993, Bill Ayers, now an associate professor of education at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, organized a team to put together a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Annenberg Challenge. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.
The grant application was successful and in early 1995 Barack Obama was named chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Ayers was named co-chair of the Challenge’s operative and strategic body, the Chicago School Reform Collaborative. Ayers and Obama work together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools.
The Challenge through a multi-million dollar Leadership Development Initiative intervened in the School Council elections in the middle of what was known as the Chicago School Wars. At the same time Chicago Mayor Richard Daley was pushing, successfully, to gut the power of the Councils.

"The Small Schools Workshop was founded in 1991 at the University of Illinois at Chicago to provide support for teachers who were trying to create new smaller learning environments. Its director is Michael Klonsky, a former professor of education at UIC."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Schools_Workshop
_________________________________________________________________________________
Some background on Bill Ayers' SDS comrade, Michael Klonsky
(Chicago Annenberg Challenge-related)
"One of Bill Ayers’ and Bernardine Dohrn’s comrades in the late 60s Students for a Democratic Society was Mike Klonsky. When Dohrn and Ayers moved in one direction toward the violent tactics of the Weather Underground, Klonsky, in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, dropped the pro-Russian communist politics of his parents and became a committed Maoist. As leader of the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) in 1977 [not to be confused with Communist Party USA. CPML no longer exists, CPUSA formed decades earlier and is still around-ETL], he travelled to Beijing and was toasted by the senior Beijing leadership.
When the crazy left of the 70s died in the 80s, Klonsky went to graduate school in education in Florida and then moved to Chicago.
While driving a cab there he [Michael Klonsky] was recruited by his old friend Bill Ayers to head up a new project called the Small Schools Workshop in 1991. It’s offices were in the Department of Education building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus where Ayers taught.
In 1995 the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge headed by Ayers and Obama gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000.
The Annenberg Challenge also had its office space in the same building as Ayers Department and the Workshop, rent free courtesy of the University.
In 2008 Klonsky ran a blog on the official Obama campaign website on education policy and “social justice” teaching. When discussion of the Klonsky blog emerged in the blogosphere, it was promptly shut down by the campaign and all of the posts made by Klonsky were removed from the site."
_________________________________________________________________________________
In 1977, the October League was reorganized as the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) [again, not Communist Party USA (CPUSA) -ETL] and former SDS activist Michael Klonsky became party chairman. Also in 1977, Klonsky traveled to China and the CPML was recognized by the Chinese Communist Party as its official sister party in America.
(snip)
In January 1981, Michael Klonsky resigned as party chairman, and the CPML disbanded that same year.
The previous Red Encyclopedia description of the CPML was incorrectly combined with that of the Communist Party USA (Marxist-Leninist).

I saved the sites’ text to hard drive and on floppy in case McCain or Obama get that web site pulled down.
[Sorry about my dumb question earlier. The RNC funding of the site is at the bottom of the page.]
Thanks for the ping, this is priceless! And very informative :)
Now I have another reason to dislike McCain: He’s an Abba fan!
Everyone -- Click the links -- Send them to everyone, GOP officials, campaign organizers, media, friends, family, neighbors -- and the unsuspecting Obama supporters you know.
Evidence indicating that Barack Obama wants to grow government either directly into socialism, or into economic collapse, in order to bring an ACORN-agitated Socialist revolution. That was the goal of Saul Alinsky. That is the Cloward-Piven Strategy apparently of Frank Marshall Davis, Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, ACORN, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, et. al., who have played such essential roles in the development of Barack Obama.
James Simpson, a former White House economist, has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" - on AmericanThinker.com.

Let's change things for these Marxists:
Give everyone in America a new vocabulary term: Cloward-Piven Strategy.
I forgot to post this the other day, but this has got to be one of the funniest Election “spoofs” around! And, the fact that it contains such incredible information, AND it’s from the RNC! Well, that just makes it priceless! Thanks so much for posting this! :)
