Does anyone have access to The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria? I saw where something about Obama is in it, around page 116 or so.

2006 Bill Ayers Blog
On November 7, 2006 Ayers posted this essay on his blog describing his visit to a conference in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela — an essay which sounds like it could be a missing chapter from Prairie Fire, and which Ayers concludes by shouting “Viva Presidente Chavez!”

And just a few months ago on June 28, 2008, Ayers describes himself in this posting on his blog as a “socialist” when it comes to economic policy

Saul Alinksi, Mike Kruglik, and Obama, the Master of Agitation....

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who had this to say to an Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

“The agitator’s job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the “realization” that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent “self-interest” in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease. In these methods, euphemistically labeled “community organizing,” Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.”

Someone needs to interview Mike Kruglik.

Isn’t this the book that also calls for the extermination of 25 million US citizens who won’t accept reeducation?

Connect the dots.

Khalidi - PLO spokesperson, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror, Obama's friend
Wright - pro Palestinian, Obama's paster for 20 years
Ayers - terrorist, dedicated book to Sirhan Sirhan, Obama's friend
Sirhan Sirhan - Palestinian immigrant, assassinated R. Kennedy

Birds of a Feather Flock together.

Ed Sisson on Obama and Saul Alinsky

Maimon Schwarzschild 24 Sep 10:19 am by maimons

... have received just a couple of years earlier, in 1985 or 1986. It was very clear to Rooney, based both on his interviews with Chambers, and on his own attendance at the 1989 IAF training, that for the IAF "it is absolutely essential to select a ripe target [a ... " in Chicago starting in 1985 through late 1987, about 3 years. He came to work for Jerry Kellman and Mike Kruglik. Judis tells us: "in Chicago, he [Obama] learned the principles of community organizing from Kellman, Kruglik, and other ...

The Right Coast - http://rightcoast.typepad.com/rightcoast/

Personal targeting and scape-goating became a central organizing principle of IAF-trained "community organizers," given special emphasis by Alinsky’s lieutenant and successor Ed Chambers. Chambers was a key source for Rooney in writing "Organizing the South Bronx". Chambers gave Rooney numerous taped interviews in 1989 (p. 265, 266, 276,) and reviewed the draft before publication (p. 10). Because Chambers and other IAF leaders reviewed the book before publication, the book is uniquely reliable in describing what the IAF did in the Obama years and what the IAF's tactics and intentions were.

Ed Chambers, starting from the IAF "base in Chicago," "changed the way of operating" the IAF beginning around 1970, "took the whole thing over" in 1972 after Alinsky died, and "set up an institute where we train many, many organizers" (p. 80-81). Rooney attended the July, 1989 training (page 219 and following) and sets out in detail what the standard IAF training includes. This was the same kind of training that Obama would have received just a couple of years earlier, in 1985 or 1986. It was very clear to Rooney, based both on his interviews with Chambers, and on his own attendance at the 1989 IAF training, that for the IAF "it is absolutely essential to select a ripe target [a person] and build animosity towards him or her" (p. 228). "A target has to be selected and mercilessly zeroed in on" (p. 228).

I give you targets: Gov. Palin and Joe the Plumber

'His [Obama's] assignment was to operate in the classic style,' Kruglik, a stubby, scruffy, intense man who now works for Gamaliel, tells me." Another community organizer who trained Obama was Northwestern professor John McKnight, "a member of the Gamaliel Foundation's board of directors." Obama "continued to train other organizers for the Gamaliel Foundation. 'It was the same organizing leadership training,' recalls Obama trainee David Kindler."

Doesn't anyone ever ask: Does he have any normal friends???

Family cookout or block party with the close friends..just hanging out type "off duty" photos. At least, the Clintons had their pictures taken with anyone and everyone. That's normal for a politician. Obama seems camera shy. Staged photos only. Have always found it odd.

Whereas, on McCain's daughters blog I once saw, early on, photos out hiking and enjoyed the normalcy of "family life" shots.

Are you sure the Obama's are not just actors?

The drive-by's will connect the dots after the election, just like they did with Juanita Broderick. Has anyone in the DBM asked Bill if he raped her yet?

Somehow, someone MUST put a microphone in from of Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy and ask them if they are still able to help elect a person who's lifelong friends are supporters of the person who killed their family member and a person from their beloved part who would have been President?.

I can see people of no ethics or integrity selling out their country, but what kind of low-life would a person be who could sell out their DEAD brother and uncle?

Obama is backed by Ayers who suports the guy who killed Bobby Kennedy. Ironic that the 2008 Democratic Party Presidential candidate is backed by a guy who supports the guy who killed the 1968 Democratic Party Presidential candidate.

Bill Ayers Dedicated His 1974 Book to RFK's Assassin by Peter Barry Chowka
Article Permalink: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/11/bill_ayers_dedicated_his_1974.html

While they were fugitives from justice, Sen. Barack Obama's friend, associate, and political mentor William Ayers and three of his radical Weather Underground co-conspirators, including his wife Bernardine Dohrn, dedicated their 1974 book Prairie Fire to a rogue's gallery that included Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles in 1968. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity brought this fact to national attention on their respective radio and television programs on October 30. . .

(The article notes several perverse ironies including one involving Barack Obama's half hour infomercial that ran on October 29, 2008.)

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity brought this fact to national attention on their respective radio and television programs on October 30. . .

A little late in doing so I might add. And Hannity says he uncovered this. He is one that is so quick to put down bloggers or FR, when he probably got the info from his researchers who got it from places like FR and the source I linked to above. I laughed when he said he had uncovered new information, like he was a great investigative journalist. Remember they are quick to put down bloggers and FR..give us very little credibility if any at all.

Hume (Fox), on the other hand, is very much more open to what we all do and will give credit-Jim Robinson should be hailed publicly for having this "research" site for all News. Jim has provided an encyclopedia of research, with sources. They read us (and other bloggers) or their staff does, but you will hardly ever see a credit where credit is due. Unless it is a household name blog-Drudge etc. Hannity uncovered it.

Rush, and I like Rush most of the time, repeated the same old intro - "difficult to find book" scenario. Red book! Many "leads" are right here with sources to the bloggers like the link Zombie above. Ha!

They spent too much time on Lipstick on a Pig and not stepping away from the pack! Too late..that is why Obama pushes for early voting so none of this stuff comes out which could make a difference. People are tired of politics and they know it..so less are tuned in to any added controversy. I was told by a Lib the other day that this is just all a witch hunt. Oh and no one ever asked why Obama's aunt (?) who lives in a slum in Boston ( with social services) has still enough money to go back and forth to Africa as it was reported. In a slum but travels to Africa? Rush and others talked bout the slum and her trips back and forth..never did it ever occur to them--that is costly??? Unless it was misreported!

Checkout Kid the other day at Home Depot was spouting McCain 100 years in Iraq etc..and he had just got done getting an ear full from the guy in front of me, then started making fun of Republicans to me..and I corrected him on the 100 years, and asked doesn't bother you he does not have normal friends or his birth certificate is sealed?? The terrorist acts by Ayers and his wife etc. And he laughed and said .."everyone has a hobby!!"..Ah..the restraint I have because he was young and stupid.

Obama may choose the head of the Chicago school system to head Education in this country. The schools in Chicago are some of the worst in the country. Favors are being repaid as we speak.

We have become a true laughing stock over the pond in choosing our leaders...and rightly deserved!!!! That was a conversation with a Scotsman living here but not a citizen so cannot vote..is saying everything right to these talking points. He cannot come close to understanding why anyone in their right mind would vote for Obama with his mysterious past with added choice of home grown terrorist or anti-American friends.

Obama may win but we will not let him rest easy. They gave Bush a "rabid" time, we will hand it right back. No timetables.

Senator Obama may become President and his wife, Michelle, First Lady, even "everyone always votes for me" Biden with suspected frontal lobe issues; but I will not personally accept Barack (Barry) Hussein Obama as My President.

The 60's radicals just have been replaced some New; but Peaceful, Players. It's called using intelligence to win; not bombs (their hobby) which they had no qualms in using.
