Info from Flopping Aces:

The Great Obama Con

**********************EXCERPT**********************

Ace notes that it keeps getting better with the nutcase that Obama so looked up to and admired for 20 years:

Concluding, Mr. Wright said: “We started the AIDS virus . . . We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that Third World people live in grinding poverty. . . .”

And Mona Charen believes Obama has pulled the greatest con seen in a long time:

His entire campaign has been about “coming together,” a post-racial consensus, etc. Any mention of his middle name was immediately condemned as ignorant fear-mongering. He has played the role of racial unifier with great skill and finesse.

But there is a great deal of evidence out there that he is anything but. The Reverend Wright is exhibit A. Mrs. Obama is Exhibit B. But there’s lots more. Here is a piece by John Batchelor about some of Obama’s other connections. For example:

William Ayers is the second Chicago figure to consider in the political profile of Mr. Obama. William C. Ayers, known as Bill Ayers, is notorious as a terrorist bomber from the 1970s who, on September 11, 2001, in the New York Times was quoted as finding “a certain eloquence in bombs.” Now, at 62, Mr. Ayers, a former aide to the current Mayor Richard M. Daley, is an established professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Importantly, Mr. Ayers and his wife, the equally notorious Weatherman terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a crucial meet-the-candidate event in their Hyde Park neighborhood home in 1995 when Mr. Obama, also a Hyde Park resident, was sounded out by vital citizens, among them the retiring state senator Alice Palmer for the 13th District.

Obama’s book is strewn with hints of his far left sympathies, as when he tells an African cousin who complains about the hardships of life in Kenya that things are no better in America. Or when he suggests that the lives of poor black young men in the inner city are blighted by white racism. He never says it explicitly, but it’s there.

He has been very friendly with Rashid Khaladi, the fierce anti-Israel professor who took Edward Said’s post at Columbia.

My own theory, FWIW, is that Obama acquired his far left views at least in part to make himself as authentically black as he could to compensate for having a white mother.

One can have sympathy for his psychological predicament . But that sympathy certainly does not extend to electing him president of a country that I sincerely believe he does not love.

And she is right. There is a growing amount of evidence to indicate that this man has been steeped in hating everything this country stands for, which is a common quality amongst those on the far left. Its quite something to have someone like that in the Senate, quite another thing to have that person running the country itself.

This mentor of Obama for 20 plus years is a racist. How in the world could people come to the conclusion that a man indoctrinated into this world of hate could somehow “heal” America’s racist past? That he will “change” this country for the better?

I’m sorry, a person doesn’t immerse himself into such a racist world as Wright’s without absorbing some, or all, of the hate and racism he preaches in that world. As Mona writes about above there are many clues in Obama’s books.

when he tells an African cousin who complains about the hardships of life in Kenya that things are no better in America. Or when he suggests that the lives of poor black young men in the inner city are blighted by white racism.

Or when he uses the racists sermons as a basis for a major speech.

Mona Cheron may very well be right. Obama has pulled off the great con.

Always remember, CAIR and all undercover islamists not only want to take over, but kill other religions. Division, Satan.

[eeevil conservative]

mosque?

hmm, I was thinking a children’s modeling agency.....

[Chuck54]

This is a very interesting ‘take’ on the Rev’s reasoning.

Could be something to it.

[SE Mom]

Is it just me, or did Spitzer happen about a month ago?

[Miss Didi]

Hmmm...Colmes doesn't seem to be protecting him yet.

[JLS]

“Its a black thing” just does not fly when you are running for president in a country that is 88% not black. Maybe it is a black thing and we would not understand, but alas we need someone for president who understands us and who we understand.

So this woman will have to try again with another ploy.

[jrooney]

Good analogy. You are right.

[cleveland gop]

He can spin it anyway he wants but we know better.
BHO has been associated with Wright for more than 20 years and could have split anytime he wanted, but didn’t.
Time for us to make sure he or Hillery NEVER makes it to the WH.

[jackv]

The people cheering in the background is really disturbing!
My gosh!! Do the blacks hate whites and this country as much as this seems???

[SE Mom]

Dear God...I just head Wright say IF we didn’t find WMD we WOULD plant them..

Neal Boortz up with Colmes now.

[cmsgop]

Now he did!,LOL!

[Chuck54]

OMG Colmes....

Is this fair?

Dumbass question of the century.

[AliVeritas]

Read this and tell me this man isn’t missing light bulbs:

Obama says his pastor
‘pained and angered me’
‘Denounces’ anti-American, racist rhetoric,
insists he never heard such talk in person

You can’t serve two masters. Oh yes, they have past statements from Obama.

[joebuck]

This chick isn’t helping Hussain at all

[Chuck54]

Obama is toast. I really believe that now.

Hillary is smiling like Jack Nicholson in Batman.

[jackv]

And this woman forets how the media nearly destroyed anyone associated with Bob Jones???!!!
What a witch!!

[Wolfstar]

Time for Pubs to vote for Obama and at least narrow her win.

NEVER! A win in Pennsylvania will hand Obama the nomination. There will no longer be a rationale for the Clinton candidacy. Obama will roll into Denver and be virtually coronated by the Dim convention. Republicans ought to stay out of this fight.
