Fox: Obama largely responsible for housing mortgage mess
Fox News | 9/30/08

Posted on 09/30/2008 6:12:40 AM PDT by pabianice

Fox just interviewed Stanley Kurtz. Kurtz claimed a documented, direct link between Obama's training ACORN criminals and the mortgage disaster as ACORN was the largest gang in forcing the banks to make the bad loans. Obama was ACORN's principal trainer in Illinois.

My question: where is McCain? He could run ads proving this link and destroy Obama's candidacy. He isn't.

True Grit was a movie starring John Wayne. McCain is a patriot, but I believe that five and a half years at the luxurious Hanoi Hilton has destroyed his fight reflex.

Onward towards Socialism.

Amen brother. I understand the frustration as I was in the same boat about a month ago when I had a moment of clarity and cancelled cable.

I don’t need to listen to people dumber than me lying about issues and spreading propaganda.

As long as we have FReepers and the ability to read what we want there is reason to keep the chin up.

The shift from bias to complete censorship began immediately after 911 with the archiving of that day’s images and news footage.

Since others refuse to vet this Obama guy, it will fall on the shoulders of talk radio, the internet, and Great Americans.

Ironic that it is now “us” that has to speak truth to power. I have hated that cliche like few others but suddenly find it so apropos.

Godspeed.

Relax. Bush is a Compassionate Conservative, code words for Socialist.

ACORN is a thug group whose tactics get worse by the day. If they had guns, we'd call them a gang or a terror group.

I was accosted by one of these clowns trying to get me to register to vote at my local mall. He physically threatened me and my son. I chased him. I went to mall security and they said he wasn't supposed to be there, but made no attempt to talk to him when I pointed him out to the rent-a-cop. I talked to mall management on the phone and was told that a witness said I confronted him.

When I went to mall management in person, they took a photo of me with their cell phone, called security, and escorted ME off the premises and said I was permanently banned from shopping there.

In protest, I went to return the things I bought at that mall recently and told every store manager why I was returning the merchandise. None of them gave a flying fig. As I was leaving, a rent-a-cop accosted me and said he would have me arrested if I didn't leave immediately. Mind you, I had my hand on the door heading out of the mall when he approached me.

It probably won't surprise you to learn that the ACORN thug, mall security, and mall management are ALL African-American.

I called the paper and all 4 local nets and none of them are touching the story. Even our local, so-called conservative talk show host backed off once he found it involved ACORN.

I reckon we're going to hear more and more of this as days go on. The paper (and video) trail that leads directly to the Democrats is right there for anyone to see.

If McCain is smart, he's holding his biggest guns for the last debate. So far, his campaign has impressed me with how well they've timed things. We'll see if that trend continues.

You’ve got it. This is McCain’s to win.

See you in 2012. Kiss the good old United States of America goodbye.

I see your optimism, and raise you one reality. It all depends on “who’s good guy” you are speaking of.

Conservatives are too kind to be playing the roll of politician. Where is Reagan when you need him?

This is the one that I think the Democrats are worried about. This would be the one that would sink the Obama ship.

Today 9/30, 4.06pm Central Time
Streamed live on http://www.wyll.com
- WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL

Hear James Simpson interviewed by Sandy Rios.

James Simpson is the former White House economist who has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" on AmericanThinker.com.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Simpson lays out the positioning of Barack Obama relative to the neo-Marxist plans of Saul Alinsky and Obama's implied relationship to the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" of generating national crisis and financial collapse, in order to turn the nation toward socialism.

He also connects the dots of what this has to do with the "community organizers" of ACORN and Marxist power players, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, etc. Simpson documents his research in his article using Web links and provides a rough flow chart.

At this point, I have not determined whether a recording of the interview will be available. Please do what you can truly do with this information, so McCain/Palin wins.

I think the mortgage crisis was caused by the fact people who have no health insurance were forced into court by the collection agencies and had to pay up, therefor leaving no money to pay the mortgage.....I would think if you could afford expensive health insurance, you would be able to make your mortgage payments so that would eliminate them and the rest are just waiting until something happens to them.

So, you see where the United States is headed. There are no patriots running for president. Both candidates are globalists and have a Socialist or Communist agenda.

This makes my head explode. I need a break from this constant attack on the United States, as I see no one in the political arena who gives a damn.

McCain also needs to start explaining all the Democrat opposition to any reforms of Fannie/Freddie attempted by the Republicans (including Bush). He also needs to help the public understand that deregulation had nothing to do with the changes at Freddie/Fannie that caused this mess.

Thank you for the Who's-Who. McCain will do NOTHING, as his friend Mr. Grahmnesty is involved.

Move along, and good luck with that job, family, and future retirement thing that you have going on there. Today's politicians will do all that they can to crush your ambitions, in the name of globalism.

Keep the faith!

“They are just waiting for the right time to lower the boom.”

If history is any measure, I have my doubts. We shall see.
