Obama’s Web Site Blows Disclaimer, Now Responsible for All Hate Speech

“Exercise of editorial control” makes Obama 100 percent responsible for his site’s hate speech against Jews, pro-Clinton Black people, and seniors

We created our own blog at my.barackobama.com, which carries the following disclaimer: “Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign.” By deleting our blog and disabling our account, the Obama campaign just blew its disclaimer and can now be held 100 percent responsible for the anti-Semitic, racist, misogynist, and ageist hate speech it allowed to stand (in some cases for more than a year). “Exercise of editorial control” is the EXACT issue that forced MoveOn.org to disable its prized Action Forum in 2006, and almost resulted in the organization’s total destruction.

First, it is necessary to understand the moral (and in some cases legal) meaning of “exercise of editorial control.” ...We have just established that the Obama campaign exercised editorial control over its computer bulletin boards, thus making Obama the proud owner of material like “Zionist Thought Police,” “Jewish Lobby,” “House N*****s [for Clinton],” and similar hate speech.

Free Republic: this is EXACTLY the issue that did in MoveOn.org's prized Action Forum in 2006, and we can use it to finish Obama's campaign once and for all.

In 2006, a few people (I was among them) discovered vicious anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic hate speech, along with 9/11 conspiracy theories, at MoveOn.org's Action Forum. We published the hate speech all over the Internet (and in letters to the editor).

MoveOn.org tried to claim that the Action Forum was an "open forum to which anyone can post," and it even tried to blame Republican agents provacateur for the hate speech. The problem was that people had had their accounts deleted for posting material with which MoveOn did not agree, thus showing that MoveOn could also have deleted the hate speech if it considered it inappropriate.

The end result was that MoveOn had to disable its Action Forum, which was among its most valuable organizing tools, permanently. The overwhelming shock of a similar attack on Obama, for which he is now wide open, should end his campaign within weeks.

At the Official Barack Obama Blog Site: We Are All Palestinians

Today’s episode of the ongoing lunacy and anti-Americanism at the official Barack Obama blog site features a piece by Ulf Erlingsson, PhD, pleading for people to support convicted Islamic Jihad kingpin Sami Al-Arian: my.barackobama.com | Ulf Erlingsson’s Blog: We are all Palestinians.

When one people is oppressed, all of us are oppressed. What you do to any one of these you do to me, Jesus said. So we are all Palestinians. This is about a prisoner in America fighting for the Palestinians:

Dr. Al-Arian Suspends Hunger Strike After 8 Weeks

VIRGINIA — Yesterday, on the 57th day of his hunger strike, Dr. Sami
Al-Arian suspended his fast, at the urging of his family, friends and
supporters. Dr. Al-Arian, who has lost more than 40 pounds, began the
hunger strike on March 3 to protest continued harassment and abuse of
power by the Justice Department. Early last week, as his blood pressure
and blood sugar reached dangerously low levels, Dr. Al-Arian collapsed
and lost consciousness at his cell in Hampton Roads Regional Jail and
was then examined by a doctor. Dr. Al-Arian drank no water for the
first 18 days of his fast. During his hunger strike, he was moved to
five different facilities a half dozen times.

I'm less than optimistic about that. This could play a minor role in influencing public opinion, along with dozens of other minor scandals, but it won't end his campaign.

Obama's web forums are such a central part of his campaign, I doubt that he will shut them down. He has enough money - a lot more than MoveOn did - to hire moderators and develop software tools to clean up his forum.

Re: “Obama’s web forums are such a central part of his campaign, I doubt that he will shut them down. He has enough money - a lot more than MoveOn did - to hire moderators and develop software tools to clean up his forum.”

(1) MoveOn’s Action Forum was a prized organizing tool for MoveOn, and MoveOn had to shut it down.

(2) It’s too late for him to clean up his forum, the damage is already done. (MoveOn also tried to recover in this manner, and it failed.)

Thanks for the work you are doing, but I think you are unreasonably optimistic. These allegations you have correctly raised will not go beyond the sphere of conservative or right-wing sites such as these, and the general public or the independent voters will not see or read this. I don’t think it will have any real impact. Sorry.

Question: I can’t remember so please refresh my memory. Was Moveon.org taken to court over this or did they just shut down due to popular opinion being against them?

this animated gif image goes back and forth between obama's birth certificate and a real birth certificate. note the missing seal, the blacked out certificate number and the differences along the edges of the seal. in order to show detail this is a high mg download.

this writer examines the writing in detail and shows why much of the writing on obama's birth certificate was photo shopped.

The latter.
