A New Hope (look at Rolling Stone's disgraceful pic of Obama)
Rolling Stone ^ | March 8, 2008 | Jann Wenner

Posted on 03/08/2008 9:23:24 AM PST by DesScorp

The tides of history are rising higher and faster these days. Read them right and ride them, or be crushed. And then along comes Barack Obama, with the kinds of gifts that appear in politics but once every few generations. There is a sense of dignity, even majesty, about him, and underneath that ease lies a resolute discipline. It's not just that he is eloquent — with that ability to speak both to you and to speak for you — it's that he has a quality of thinking and intellectual and emotional honesty that is extraordinary.

“There is a sense of dignity, even majesty, about him” Jaw dropping, in a sickening sort of way. Makes me want to puke.

Liberals have lost touch with reality. What I find amusing about RS backing Obama is that they are disrespecting Hillary on the same magazine cover. What are all these people going to do IF Hillary wins it all? The Clintons won't forget how many of them turned against her and were openly supporting Obama. One that makes me smile, is Al Sharpton. He had a revolving door into the White House when Bill was in office but after what he said and did, that revolving door will be locked when he comes calling. THAT will be hilarious.

They should NEVER count the Clintons out. They are so power hungry that they will do ANYTHING to get control again. Obama 'ain't' seen nothing yet. That big mean Clinton machine will roll over the top of him and his widow will be wondering what happened. Doncha just love Politicis? LOL

“A New Hope?”

Sounds like a Star Wars movie title. The Force is with Obama.

The more the Left makes Barack Hussein Obama out to be the new Christ, a prince of peace and a god in his own time, the more I see him as an antiChrist and a deceiver.

Why the outrage? Nothing to see here. Nowhere as bad as some of the pictures and stuff they have released about President Bush at Rolling Stone and every other sleazy mzine and media outlet.

She'll have to amend her Obama-getting-shot-at-a-gas-station comment to include messing with the Clintons.

It reminds of the that song: “I keep gettin’ richer but I can’t my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.”

ARTIST: Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
TITLE: On the Cover of Rolling Stone
Lyrics

Well we are big rock singers, we’ve got golden fingers
And we’re loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Rolling Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Rolling Stone
Wanna see my smilin’ face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

I’ve got a freaky old lady name o’ Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I’ve got my poor old gray-haired Daddy
Drivin’ my limousine
Now it’s all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won’t really be blown
Like the blow that’ll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
He’s teachin’ us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin’ richer but we can’t get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Look at how his head has cut into “Rolling Stone” so that it reads “rollin one”. Given his past drug admissions, I find that hilarious.

The “O” couple make the clintons look like apple pie.

This is the most dangerous couple in America I have seen in my lifetime - and I am a great grandmother.

I remember living for a bit in Florida in the 60's and hearing about the underground Black Power movement - it's been simmering all these years, very real.

This couple is their Great Black Hope - Their personal beliefs, the tenets of their church, their associations, their statements, all wreak of hatred for whites, for corporate America, for Capitalism, - The man who's middle name must not be spoken won't salute the flag - does his angry, white hating wife? (We need to take note - and photos)

If her recent blatherings leave you to doubt her feelings against America and whites, read the backup here (and her paper echoes, nearly word for word, the creed of their church which is dedicated to the Mother Country = Africa. (And "O" is intent on pulling our military back from everywhere, dismantling the military, and throwing all the money to Africa.

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JC04Aa01.html

This is one angry woman. And from things she has said during this campaign, she considers herself the co-candidate (what is it with the democrat spouses?) = and she does and always has ruled him.

Her stated beliefs and seething hatreds echo those of the Weathermen - I wonder if she is the one who introduced “O” to the leader, Ayers, with whom he has had close relations.

Be afraid, America. If these people get power - within 2 years, the Bolshevik Revolution will look like child's play. (They wallow in victim-hood - and whitey must pay for the sins of the forefathers. They ignore that it was whites who fought other whites to abolish slavery. They ignore the thousands of whites that aided, at great personal peril, escaping slaves. They ignore that the white slave traders did not go into Africa to capture blacks - but only had to dock at ports and buy them from BLACK chieftains who captured them and brought them to the coast for sale. They ignore the reality that if there hadn't been the slave trade, deplorable as it was, they would have - well, take "O" himself = He would have been born in the bush of Africa and living with all his black relatives there instead of being an American millionaire living in a mansion...one foot in the WH. Bottom line, as far as I'm concerned is: we are several generations removed from slavery. We are not guilty for something some people did generations ago. They are not the victims - they live where they have opportunities they never would have had in Africa - their espoused "Mother County" = Lady "O" is one sad, hate-filled woman. She makes someone with bi-polar look calm. I sometimes wonder if part of her rage is that SHE isn't white...she obviously has a white up her family tree somewhere - but not enough to have "passed", which, with her history, I think she would have grabbed onto - One could even wonder if she's "certifiable" - Definitely not First Lady material = (sorry about the long paragraph. the system refuses to split it up and also maintain the active link.,,which everyone should bookmark.)

The Hillary Campaign was accused of darkening Obama’s skin color on video.

Is this a case of the Obama scampaign lightening his aura?

I canceled my subscription years ago when, while reading an issue and intentionally avoiding the political articles, I found that I still was having their agenda shoved down my throat in every single article I did read. No matter what the subject, they found a way to make it about politics. Every interviewer probed for negative comments about conservatives. Every reviewer found liberal politics in every album, film and book. Even their fashion spreads included political comments.

When I canceled I advised them that there were much better sources for political information than a music review.
