False images for sale
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | 4/20/08 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 04/20/2008 1:31:13 AM PDT by red state girl

An e-mail from a reader said that, while Hillary Clinton tells lies, Barack Obama is himself a lie. That is becoming painfully apparent with each new revelation of how drastically his carefully crafted image this election year contrasts with what he has actually been saying and doing for many years.

Sen. Obama's election year image is that of a man who can bring the country together, overcoming differences of party or race, as well as solving our international problems by talking with Iran and other countries with which we are at odds, and performing other miscellaneous miracles as needed.

There is, of course, not a speck of evidence that Obama has ever transcended party differences in the United States Senate. Voting records analyzed by the National Journal show him to be the furthest left of anyone in the Senate. Nor has he sponsored any significant bipartisan legislation -- nor any other significant legislation, for that matter.

Given O’s Marxism the number of givers is immense, right? In O any number of our enemies see a friend, including the Chinese, the Russians, the Saudis, Iranians and 100% of the US University professorship.

We know Venezuela is already under the impression (perhaps formally set?) that O will play ball with them.

A short kick in football is called a “pooch”.

Now we’re talking Mrs. Clinton.

I think Obammy gets creepier and creepier. I think he’s a total phony. A real closet fascist. A nasty piece of work. Orwellian. The Stepford candidate.

Obama is a elitist Marxist.

* a belief that capitalism is based on the exploitation of workers by the owners of capital
* a belief that people's consciousness of the conditions of their lives reflects material conditions and relations
* an understanding of class in terms of differing relations of production, and as a particular position within such relations
* an understanding of material conditions and social relations as historically malleable
* a view of history according to which class struggle, the evolving conflict between classes with opposing interests, structures each historical period and drives historical change

Listen to his speeches and rhetoric and he rarely missed hitting any number of the above points

We are seeing the second generation of Marxist/Socialists, and this is only getting worse.
With Obambis Chicago Weatherman connection in Bill Ayers, can there be any doubt to their
contribution to the rise and expansion to the socialist agenda? I think not.

Obambis mother, Stanley, hooked up with Barrys biological father, who after a couple of years
dumped them both. She then hooked up with an Indonesian muslim, who liked capitalism,
and all of the perks it brought with it. She dumped him for being too Americanized. She then dumped Barry on his “white” grandparents
to undertake the task of saving souls in third world hell holes. Thats a noble task,
but to abandon your child, would that not leave scars on the little tike? That
could be the reason we never hear him mention his “WHITE” side of his family.

He might not be embarrassed by his “bitter” branch of the
family tree, but he sure does
everything possible to avoid talking about it. Where are those questions?
I would think his “white bitter” side of the family tree might be mentioned a wee bit more.



Just afew random thoughts about how we arent hearing anything but selected topics.

"Barack Obama is himself a lie. That is becoming painfully apparent with each new revelation of how drastically his carefully crafted image this election year contrasts with what he has actually been saying and doing for many years." "With each new utterance on the topic of Reverend Wright, Barack Obama seems to confirm his own moral obliviousness. Worse yet, he seems to have disdain for those who are troubled by his own unwillingness, even now, to break with Wright."

On his new campaign plane, Obama said he has spoken with Wright in recent days and disputed any suggestion that he or his campaign have asked him to stay out of the limelight.

"I have talked to him," he said. "I haven't asked him to do anything."

Walter Williams: "For the nation and for black people, the first black president should be the caliber of a Jackie Robinson and Barack Obama is not. Barack Obama has charisma and charm but in terms of character, values and understanding, he is no Jackie Robinson. By now, many Americans have heard the racist and anti-American tirades of Obama's minister and spiritual counselor. There's no way that Obama could have been a 20-year member of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church and not been aware of his statements."

Thomas Sowell: "It is painful to watch defenders of Barack Obama tying themselves into knots trying to evade the obvious. Some are saying that Senator Obama cannot be held responsible for what his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, said. In their version of events, Barack Obama just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time—and a bunch of mean-spirited people are trying to make something out of it."

Hussein Obama’s racist pseudo minister has turned the Dems' run for President into party's train wreck!

Devastatingly, Shelby Steele writes: “Obama has fellow-traveled with a hate-filled, anti-American black nationalism all his adult life, failing to stand and challenge an ideology that would have no place for his own (white) mother."

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”

Here is the link to the Star Spangled Banner video with obama standing there without his hand over his heart...

Notice her ear ring!

The picture, which appeared on a U.S. Web site, showed the Illinois senator donning a Muslim elder's headdress and robes during a 2006 trip to Wajir in northeastern Kenya. Ahmed Sheikh Bahalow, a retired teacher and elder from ethnically (read Muslim) Somali Wajir, said his community was offended by the insinuation Obama had done anything wrong on his visit. "The Somali community and in particular those living in Kenya have never been that interested in America politics," Bahalow told Reuters in the central town of Isiolo. "But we are following it keenly now because we have been provoked." Wajir residents planned to demonstrate in the town after Friday prayers to show their support for Obama, he said. Those aren't Episcopalians praying on Friday.

"Hussein Obama’s big mouth, small brain, condescending, America-hating, grandkid-baby-terminating, born-alive-infant-abandoning, America-hating-wife, kooky-moonbat-America-hating-pastor, racially-divisive, race-baiting, crotch-saluting, America-flag-disrespecting ... chickens ... coming home to roost ...!"

If only we could get the leftists, Dim Dhims, “liberals”, “progressives and “activists” to see, know and understand this about O’Baloney.

But then I guess they don’t want to know or they know it and like it.

“I guess they don’t want to know or they know it and like it.”

That is the problem with the rabid rat voters. They hate republicans, conservatives and America so much they will vote for their rats regardless of their dangerous baggage.

Thanks.

The reality of Hussein Obamasnob is highlighted by the pictures, cartoons and graphic arts with the comments made as each lie has been exposed.

I don't think its gonna fly with American voters-—be they working stiffs or otherwise.

The leftists are hoping to sell Obama to flyover country as the White Guilt candidate. Whether that strategy succeeds remains to be seen.
