This is the whole ball ‘o wax.

Finally - some serious reporting.

The Washington Time’s has handed us the amunition. Let’s lock and load. Let’s not let this get pushed aside. this MUST be on all the airwaves.

Let’s get busy emailing this link to the media.

http://www.washtimes.com/news/2008/oct/12/obamas-kenya-ghosts/

with excerpt:Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama’s six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president...”

“Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006...”

“Mr. Odinga told a stunned BBC Radio interviewer the reason why he and Mr. Obama were staying in near daily telephone contact was because they were cousins. In a Jan. 8, 2008, interview, Mr. Odinga said Mr. Obama had called him twice the day before while campaigning in the New Hampshire primary before adding, “Barack Obama’s father is my maternal uncle.”


Add this little tidbit showing that Obama is probably afraid to go to Kenya anytime soon.

Amen! And let's wear out the phonelines tomorrow calling in to the major talk-show programs. That'll get the exposure started on a national level. The MSM won't be able to pretend it doesn't exist anymore.

Essence of the most vital fact exposed in the article to which you linked:

Raila Odinga was implicated in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s. The ethnic cleansing earlier this year was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt.

Mr. Odinga spent eight years in prison. At the time, he denied guilt but later detailed he was a coup leader in his 2006 biography. Statue of limitations precluded further prosecution when the biography appeared.

Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.

"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.

Gosh, Snappy.

I guess you should’ve put the names “O.J” or “Paris” or “Jessica” in the title. Then maybe more FR’s would be interested.

The last O.J. thread I saw was over 800 post and thousands of ‘looks’ and counting.

Here we FINALLY had an article that is vital to combating the most dangerous threat to Our freedoms and our Republic since it's birth, and only a handful are interested.

That's it for me for tonight. It seems few want to bestir themselves to stand up and fight. Let McCain and Sarah do it all...

And send all our troops home. Let Petreaus win the war by himself.

Gonna go take a hot bath and then watch Iron Chef or something equally all-important. But thank you, Snappy. I'm glad to see this story! and I emailed to our friendly media -

To: All

You know...I emailed the McCain team last week after hearing McCain suggest we have “nothing to fear about an Obama presidency” and that he is an “honorable man”.

I sent them another email just now:

After hearing the quote in context, I get what he was trying to do, but all he’s done is create fodder for the media and the left. But I repeat myself.

There is a way he can “take it back” without losing any face and while addressing a major story the media hasn’t quite gotten into yet...and that is Obama’s active support, fundraising and campaigning for genocidal Marxist, Kenya’s Raila Odinga.

Here’s this from today’s Washington Times: http://www.washtimes.com/news/2008/oct/12/obamas-kenya-ghosts/

Plus, author Jerome Corsi will be providing more information on this Monday on Hannity and Colmes.

Basically, McCain can take it directly to Obama by saying that with those comments, he was giving Obama the benefit of the doubt but that this new information paints a picture of someone who’s judgment is clearly in question, at the minimum. I’m sure that can be worded much better than that but I think the key point is that it’s clear that the Obama we’re now learning more about is a danger to us all and that the honor McCain speaks of is nothing but an elaborate illusion meant to give the masses a false sense of security about Obama.

McCain hurt himself last week with the comments about Obama. Perhaps this will help him repair the damage and focus the light of attention back where it needs to be...on Obama, his poor judgment, his dangerous associates and his willingness to turn a blind eye to radical Islam and genocide when convenient.

"Oh, I thought Obama didn’t know him. "

Bambi's standard answer when questioned about his long-time relationships with terrorists, hate-mongers, corrupt businessmen, genocidal maniacs, thugs and criminals.

Mr. Obama's judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Mr. Obama from maintaining disturbing loyalties.

Finally this story is starting to get out. The rest of the media will probably wait to report on this until after the election. Don't let this happen, help with the media protest day discussed here:

Protest the Media Thread

Protest The Media Website

October 21st protest the media is being planned. The website needs freeper help posting information now!

You got that right. From the comments area of this video;

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=S8QcpdUtxNQ&feature=related

Most of us have seen the clips, but exposure won’t hurt.

“This is TOP NEWS priority.”

My leftist relative asked me, “Even if everything you say is true, why would you still vote for McCain and the evil self interested witch?”

The evil self interested relative is projecting, but very content in the adoration of Obama. A real heart connection.

It's up to us. Beat the drum.

I took a chance and guessed at Geraldo Rivera's email add. and it hasn't been rejected so I've added it to my list.

rivera@foxnews.com

Haven't hit Gov. Huckabee’s yet and can't find it but did find a way to send through his site.

http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=SignUp.Home

click on ‘contact’ at bottom.

I don't much care for Geraldo - but he does like to put out stories no one else is doing...

and I LOVE Huckabees’ new show! He pulls NO punches. He doesn't seem to give a fig what anyone thinks, he's telling the truth.

I've added his link to “the list” also.

Lordy, I'm tired. But I have never been so afraid for our country and our freedom - and I'm an old great granny. I have scenes of - if the Marxists get control - me sitting on my porch in my rocker with my gun in my lap. “Get in my face...” get a face full.

2 more contacts to email to

Geraldo Rivera at

rivera@foxnews.com

and Gov/ Huckabee - can't find email but we can leave info in his contact box at his site:

http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=SignUp.Home

scroll down to ‘contact’

This piece in the WAsh. Times is a foot in the door. The BBC has covered his shenanigans in Kenya - but the American press is on lock down, it seems.

This piece was buried, but at least it's been printed. Let's get it out there.

They want to hang Sarah over trumped up nothing.
If a republican had done any of this with Odinga, they would be long gone.

WE MUST keep this gang out of the WH - or we'll see Odinga in the Lincoln bedroom
