As explored here this past weekend, the Clarion Fund has paid dozens of newspapers across the country -- almost solely in "swing" election states -- and The New York Times to distribute the "Islam terror" DVD "Obsession" with their home delivery packages. Among the larger cities where this has taken place: Miami, Philadelphia, Denver and Pittsburgh.
An estimated 28 million copies have been distributed so far, also through the mails and other magazines. An article at the group's site, www.radicalislam.org, all but endorsed John McCain this past week, then was pulled down.
But at least one newspaper turned away the money and refused to distribute it, calling it "divisive."

Strangely enough, this DVD was not distributed with newspapers in Massachusetts...

My mom received one in the mail. She missed it when it aired on TV so now she’ll have a copy for life. Needless to say, she is happy.
Nobody ever sends us these goodies for free in Texas.

OPINION: I hope you find these articles as interesting as I did. I am always amazed that there are so many Americans who do not understand that the GLOBAL JIHAD is just that global. If one spins their globe at home or school; one can easily see that the U.S.A. is part of this world. There is no exclusion. We are not set apart from the global jihad; nor are we set apart from the GWOT.
Wow! That is great that they took the time to put this in the newspaper. Yes there is a GOD! and he is not named Allah!
My DVD came in my Sept. 15 issue of National Review.
Nor in Utah. My mailbox is empty.
It looks like the DVD was only distributed in swing states.
Or Mississippi either!
Is it on youtube yet ? Cause that would be a good way to really get it around.
Obsession is all over YouTube. Has been for a long time. Go to YouTube and search “obsession islamic”
If the film isn’t right wing fearmongering propaganda why was it only distributed for free in swing states?
That question does not negate the fact that any intolerance is wrong. “Love they neighbor” was not a suggestion, it was a command.
