Obama's Nominee to Justice Dept. Was a Terrorist's Lawyer
Publius' Forum ^ | 3/14/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 03/14/2009 6:38:04 AM PDT by Mobile Vulgus

On March 9, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on one of Barack Obama's latest nominees. This time it was to assess the suitability of Tony West, Obama's nominee for the assistant attorney general in charge of the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Division. Things went "smoothly" according to the San Jose Mercury News, also publishing a nice bio of West. The Washington Post merely mentioned the hearing was "notable." Similarly the East Bay Express simply makes mention of the hearing having occurred. Apparently there was nothing of interest in West’s nomination.

Curiously enough, though, not one of these brief reports mention that Tony West was "American Taliban" terrorist John Walker Lindh's defense lawyer. Another key bit of info left out of these announcements was that Tony West raised $65 million for Obama's presidential campaign. Money well spent if it gets a cushy government job, I suppose...

Eric Holder's role in the pardons of BLA (Black Liberation Army) comrades/Weather Underground members, Susan Rosenberg and Linda Evans (Brinks Truck robbery and triple murder):

Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Wright's 'Black Liberation' "church", and the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN:(Wright's Marxist BLT 'church' (Obama's 'church' for 20+ years) advocated for FALN terrorists)

"Fraunces Tavern is a restaurant and museum in lower Manhattan, New York City. It was built on the site of a former building which played a significant role in pre-Revolutionary activities, and in which, on 4 December 1783, General George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolution, before returning to his home, Mount Vernon."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunces_Tavern
_________________________________________________________

"During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50."

_________________________________________________________

"Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the 'oppressed people of Puerto Rico,' the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico."

At least this thug is one step removed from active terrorism. That's an improvement for our dear socialist leader.

“Things went “smoothly” according to the San Jose Mercury News,”

...it’s going smoothly if your intent is to implement Sharia law. Which I’m convinced is where we’re headed.

Thank you! I appreciate that. I thought for a moment you were going to say I repeatedly post the same info over and over again. I do it because there is a LOT of important info out there on Obama and his radical links which isn’t widely known or is poorly understood.

"I do it because there is a LOT of important info out there on Obama and his radical links which isn’t widely known or is poorly understood."-me/etl

Take for example, post 10. (Obama as a muslim)

Obama is about as 'religious' as his pastor of 20+ years, "Reverend" Wright or "Nation of Islam" leader Louis Farrakhan. Both Wright and Farrakhan are "Black Liberation Theology" communists. Commies have used various concocted religions like theirs as fronts for decades. They're as much about religion as the "anti-war" movement is about 'peace'. Every one of the so-called 'anti-war' coalitions around today was founded and organized by one of the following three: Communist Party USA (United for Peace and Justice), Workers World Party/Party for Socialism and Liberation (ANSWER, Troops Out Now), or the Revolutionary Communist Party (World Can't Wait, Not In Our Name)

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."... "Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Re: Millions More Movement rally, Oct 15, 2005:

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Repetition is absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, Coke and Pepsi would spend an awful lot less, on advertising, right?

As long as the thread is topical, as long as your posts are germane to the thread at hand -— please re-post all of this information frequently.

Something tells me, when we get hit again, your work will become very important.

Journalists are, by nature, very lazy. You have consolidated all of the quotes and news items and pictures in one place.

I do not want anything bad to happen, to my country, but we all know it is only a matter of time.

As the Obama White House says, “Don't ever let a Crisis go to waste” -—

Al Gore accused Bush, “They PLAYED on our FEARS” -— when that was not true. Bush did the anti-terrorism job very well.

When Obama’s mistakes cost American lives, you need to blast this stuff to every Conservative politician, and to every news organization in the Country.

Repetition is the key to getting information out. Look at how far the commies and socialists have come with the constant drumbeat of innuendo, half-truths and outright false hood.

The important thing is getting it out into the ether.

Thanks again. However, I get the impression that only a few here actually read it. Hardly anyone seems to know much at all about 'Black Liberation' and 'Black Liberation Theology'.

A shameless promo...

For all you'll ever need or want to know about
Wright's Marxist "Black Liberation Theology",
see my FR Home page:
http://www.freerepublic.com/~etl/

Hint...

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006).

Lawyers by definition will have to defend people who are guilty. That’s not a problem in itself.

What I find problematic is that Obama just seems to “coincidentally” pick people with rather alarming points of view.

I’m laughing at anyone still trying to claim this guy isn’t an uber liberal who’s trying to turn this into a socialist nation. The rush to proclaim capitalism dead is stunning, and shows how many who are in postions of power in the nation are so eager to push us to the far left, no matter how much history has shown us that this is a guarantee of disaster.
