The OBAMA Fix Is On-And the Media is Part of It

The OBAMA Fix Is On-And the Media is Part of It If Senator Barack Obama was a Republican, the mainstream media would be all over him like a glove, they would be checking out how ACORN was trying to steal the election for Obama. If Obama was a Republican, the media would be going through his foreign donations, they would see that Senator Obama may have received MORE THAN $200 MILLION in illegal donations including millions overseas campaign donations. They would be asking why the FEC wasn't listening to its investigator who requested a full-fledged investigation of Obama's finances.

But the media is not asking those questions, and the FEC is not investigating Obama's finances. If (God Forbid) Obama wins, this will go down in history as the election that was FIXED by the media, not by what they did, but by what the media did not do:

Funny money Who's funding the Obama campaign? And why isn't the media finding out? Sunday, October 05, 2008 By Jack Kelly, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Who is "Will, Good"?

Mr. Good Will -- who lists his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You" -- has contributed 1,000 times to the Barack Obama campaign. All the contributions have been in amounts of $25 or less. But they add up to $17,375 -- far more than the legal limit of $4,600 ($2,300 each for the primary and general election campaigns).

Kenneth Timmerman, a reporter for NewsMax, a conservative Web site, discovered Mr. Good Will when he reviewed 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest Federal Elections Commission master file for the Obama campaign.

Mr. Good Will said he was from Austin, Texas. When I called directory assistance, they could find no listing for him.

Mr. Doodad Pro made 786 contributions for a total of $19,500. Like Mr. Good Will, Mr. Pro lists his employer as "Loving" and his profession as "You." Mr. Pro said he is from Nunda, N.Y. Directory assistance found no listing for him, either.

Mr. Obama has raised a whopping $223 million in contributions of less than $200. Candidates are not required to disclose the names of those who contribute less than $200, and Mr. Obama has not. (John McCain has made his complete donor database available online.)

But the FEC does require campaigns to keep a running tally of contributions and to disclose the identity of donors once their total contributions exceed $200. This is how Mr. Good Will and Mr. Doodad Pro came to light.

If there are more suspicious donors to the Obama campaign, we won't know until long after the election as long as their aggregate contributions are below the legal limit.

Mr. Timmerman was particularly curious about 11,500 contributions from overseas totalling $33.8 million.

Mr. McCain and Hillary Clinton required foreign donors to provide proof of citizenship. Until very recently, Mr. Timmerman said, the Obama campaign did not.

"More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address," Mr. Timmerman wrote. But they accounted for only 12 percent of Mr. Obama's overseas donors, and the aggregate total of their contributions was just $201,680.

"In July and August, the head of Nigeria's stock market held a series of pro-Obama fund-raisers in Lagos," Mr. Timmerman said. "At one event, a table for eight went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000."

Making contributions on credit cards via the Internet -- as both Good Will and Doodad Pro did -- makes it easier for foreigners to contribute. Web logger Pamela Geller (Atlas Shrugs) reported three Palestinians living in a refugee camp in Gaza tried to donate $33,500 to the Obama campaign last year. They were caught only because the amount was far above the legal limit. If foreigners donate in amounts less than $200, their illegal involvement would be virtually undetectable.

If Mr. Obama were a Republican, the news media would be demanding he disclose the names of all of his donors -- as ... er ... the Republican has done -- so we can see if there are among them other Good Wills and Doodad Pros.

CNN recently sent a reporter to Little Diomede Island, the westernmost part of Alaska (2.4 miles from Russia) to determine whether Sarah Palin had ever been there actually to see Russia with her own eyes. But CNN -- and the rest of the media -- have been incurious about the Obama campaign's fundraising.

"Off the record, every suspicion you have about [the mainstream media] being in the tank for O is true," said an e-mail to Web logger Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) from someone he knows at a major news organization. "We have a team of four people going through dumpsters in Alaska and four in Arizona. Not a single one looking into ACORN, Ayers, or FreddieMae (sic). Editor refuses to publish anything that jeopardizes the election for O, and betting dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others ... The fix is in, and it's working."

The media is controlled by socialists.

.

McCain needs to forget ‘etiquette’ and ‘running a respectful’ campaign, as he put it.

If he doesn’t get off his duff and get out there and hit Obama every day, he’s handing the presidency over to Barack Hussein Obama.

Why is he not mentioning such things as Obama trying to turn Missouri into a police state? Obama trying to turn our children into ‘Hitler youth’?

Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!

To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDWO WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

But the media is not asking those questions

Yeah, but they make up for it by asking thousands of questions about the firing of a rogue cop and expired fishing licenses in Alaska. Let's be fair -- they ARE asking lots of questions. /sarc

If Palin and McCain would talk about it on the campaign trail, the media would have to cover it or at least talk about it.

Thank you.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy

Click the links -- Send them to everyone: media, elected officials of all parties, campaign organizers, friends, family, neighbors -- the naive and unsuspecting Obama supporters you know.

Read the evidence indicating that Barack Obama seeks 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 both the private and public Barack Obama.

James Simpson, a former White House economist, has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" - on AmericanThinker.com at http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

Further documentation connecting the dots of all the neo-Marxists who have invested in the development of Barack Obama may be found on discoverthenetworks.org

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.


"CHANGE"

Let's change things for these anti-American Marxists.

Give everyone in America a new vocabulary term: The Cloward-Piven Strategy.

Oh, magosh; NOT THE MAGAZINE QUESTION! Anything but the magazine question. I'm me-e-e-e-lting...

I'm amazed that supposedly educated, debonair people-about-town are going around, patting each other on the back, nodding knowingly, harrumphing dutifully, about the coup they call the magazine question.

They are going to lose soooooo bad. They just don't know it yet.

Bad part is, if they win, there'll be rioting in the streets; and if they lose, there'll be rioting in the streets. The die was cast the moment they named a token whatever as their candidate. USA is the loser; there are few, if any, winners. Ba$stards.
