SEAN HANNITY, OF HANNITY & COLMES ~ FOX NEWS, IS GOING TO AIR A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BARACK OBAMA, SUNDAY NIGHT, OCT. 12, 2008 AT 9:00 PM, ET, 8:00 PM CT, 7:00 PM MT and 6:00 PM PT, 5:00 PM Alaska Time.
HE STATED ON THE AIR THIS EVENING THAT NO ONE IN THE NEWS MEDIA WAS WILLING TO DO THIS.
HANNITY IS GOING BACK TO OBAMA'S EARLIER DAYS, SHOWING EVEN THEN HIS TIES TO RADICAL PROFESSORS, FRIENDS, SPIRITUAL ADVISERS, Etc. HE STATED THIS EVENING THAT HE WILL SHOW IN DETAIL HIS TIES TO REV. WRIGHT FOR 20+ YRS (which we all know) HOW HE WAS PARTICIPATING WITH THIS MAN, AND NOT FOR THE REASONS HE STATES! HE HAS UNCOVERED MORE OF OBAMA'S RADICAL LEADERS AND WE WILL SEE THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS WILLING TO PUT OUT THERE. THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT YOU WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN EVER BEFORE. HANNITY IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND ASKED THAT EVERYONE PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH~~
SUNDAY NIGHT, 9 PM ET. On the Fox News channel.
HANNITY IS DETERMINED THIS INFORMATION BE PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE AS AMERICANS, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OBAMA!! WAKE UP AMERICA !! THIS IS SERIOUS, EVERYONE. I KNOW MOST OF YOU WATCH FOX NEWS, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR, BUT IF YOU CAN, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR COUNTRY. MY PRAYER IS THAT WE, ALONG WITH SEAN HANNITY, WILL REACH SOMEONE , ANYONE BEFORE NOV. 4th.
IS THERE A LIVE FEED ANYWHERE? THE CAPS BROKE MY TV ;(
Did Ferraro say that Annenberg or whatever supports McCain?
I am afraid that as long as this is limited to Fox News, it is just preaching to the same, already mobilized, conservative choir--not the whole of America. We will probably see it a few Tuesday nights from now as state after state falls to Obama. It needs to get to the people through the alphabet soup TV channels, all news radio, as well, and mainstream newspapers, etc. etc. otherwise most people asked on the street a) do not even know what you are talking about on these issues and b) if they have some inkling, it is liable to be "too bad McCain is going negative".
By and large, and it comes as no surprise to me, vast swarms of American populace are woefully underinformed, nor do they have a constitution to want to learn things of importance, until it is too late.
it reflects, in my mind, a fundamental "PearlHarborability" of the American People that is a part of our national culture. Always ignore the warning signs, wake up finally when you get smacked in the head with something.
The American People are going to regret the SOCIALISM they are smacked in the head with, but by that time, it will be too late.
You got that right.
It just proves how dumbed down the average American is to have let Obama get this far.
It’s not that good so far...............
Geraldine Ferro & Bob Beckel.
Big woop IMO.
Is it possible that FOX decided at the last minute not to air what was to be a documentary on Obama’s connections to Ayers and Odinga?
So far it is the same hash and rehash of the same old crap, with the same old guests.
She is all over the tube for one reason.
She is a woman, and was a vice presidential candidate.
(Yes, that's one reason...)
She got her new dyke hairdoo, and everyone seems to hang on her every words.
Just because of her gender and the WONDERFUL thing she did when Mondale was running.
I'm actually getting sick of her liberal spin.
I liked Flip Wilson's Geraldine much better!
So this is going to be another tired old crapfest about Ayers? Come on Sean show-em that you have a pair!! bring on a documentary about Odinga!
This program wasn’t as important or urgent that I was led to believe. Gonna go back to playing cards. Later people!
This sure doesn’t seem like what it was hyped to be. ???
Someone, please tape and post.
yup its sorta like kissing your sister
sounds hugh
That’s weird.
Here...I’ll post the New Party summary to give us something to chomp on while we wait for something new ;)
The New Party believes that the social, economic, and political progress of the United States requires a democratic revolution in America the return of power to the people. Our basic purpose reflected both in our own governance and in our aspirations for the nation is to make that revolution happen. http://web.archive.org/web/20010204044200/www.newparty.org/about_the_np.html
They describe themselves as Social Democrats:
Weve already said that we see the NP as an explicitly progressive and democratic organization. This would give it an ideology not unlike that of European social democratic parties, or the New Democratic Party of Canada. http://www.nathannewman.org/EDIN/.election/np/bnm.html
Democratic Socialism is a form of socialism brought about via evolutionary rather than revolutionary methods, but it is Socialism nonetheless. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_socialism
The New Party chapter in Chicago was dominated by ACORN early on: But the nature of Chicago ACORN is secondary to the inevitable dynamics of the situation. As the single 800 pound gorilla in the Chicago New Party, it doesnt leave a lot of room for newcomers to participate except on ACORNs terms. This will make it difficult for the New Party to have a life apart from ACORN. http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng38.html#anchor1869108
Later the Democratic Socialists of America took a larger roll: ...the NP is a true Rainbow Coalition consisting of both young and aged African-Americans, Hispanics and Caucasians. Although ACORN and SEIU Local 880 were the harbingers of the NP there was a strong presence of CoC and DSA (15% DSA). http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html#anchor792932
So, back to Obama. He sought membership and endorsement from the New Party in 1996 and had to sign a contract: (from the Democratic Socialists of America newsletter)
About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people committed to monthly contributions. The NPs political strategy is to support progressive candidates in elections only if they have a concrete chance to win. This has resulted in a winning ratio of 77 of 110 elections. Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcias District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmers vacant seat. http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html#anchor792932
That he received the endorsement and became a New Party member is confirmed by the New Party itself:
Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).
http://web.archive.org/web/20010306031216/www.newparty.org/up9610.html
Of further interest is that Obama received endorsments from the Chicago DSA on multiple occasions and spoke at their forum on economic insecurity as a panel member.
Over three hundred people attended the first of two Town Meetings on Economic Insecurity on February 25 in Ida Noyes Hall at the University of Chicago. Entitled Employment and Survival in Urban America, the meeting was sponsored by the UofC DSA Youth Section, Chicago DSA and University Democrats. The panelists were Toni Preckwinkle, Alderman of Chicagos 4th Ward; Barack Obama, candidate for the 13th Illinois Senate District; Professor William Julius Wilson, Center for the Study of Urban Inequality at the University of Chicago; Professor Michael Dawson, University of Chicago; and Professor Joseph Schwartz, Temple University and a member of DSAs National Political Committee.

Later the DSA praised Obamas remarks as well within the mainstream of European social democracy. http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng69.html#anchor540108
Conclusion: Obama sought endorsement and membership in an explicitly Democratic Socialist group, signed on the dotted line with them and continued to promote socialistic ideas throughout his Chicago political career.
The talking heads (yes even on Fox) can be gotten to.
Not that hard with Hannity unfortunately.
When you have Beckel and Ferraro on, it's hardly worth watching.
Beckel is another one with no appeal and really nothing to offer except snide remarks and liberal spin.
I think it will be replayed later this evening.
Ho-Hum.
I’ve got to go try to get Jell-o to stick to the wall....
I am glad now that I didn’t tell many people to watch this.
