There are zero degrees of separation between Wright, Obama, and three executed members of TUCC who's deaths are still unsolved. Has any reporter sought out Wright, Obama, other members of TUCC, or the Chicago Police Department to help solve these crimes with the one-year anniversary coming up just before the inauguration.
Anyone looking into these connections will trip over Larry Sinclair which has become the third rail of this campaign since there are direct factual ties to Delaware AG Beau Biden.
So, I guess this whole issue has been successfully eliminated from any sane or calm discourse of Who Is Barry?
[article excerpt]:
The extent of Obamas ties to Acorn has not been recognized. We find some important details in an article in the journal Social Policy entitled, Case Study: Chicago The Barack Obama Campaign, by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago Acorn leader and a member of Acorns National Association Board. The odd thing about this article is that Foulkes is forced to protect the technically non-partisan status of Acorns get-out-the-vote campaigns, even as he does everything in his power to give Acorn credit for helping its favorite son win the critical 2004 primary that secured Obama the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate.
Before giving us a tour of Acorns pro-Obama but somehow non-partisan election activities, Foulks treats us to a brief history of Obamas ties to Acorn. While most press accounts imply that Obama just happened to be at the sort of public-interest law firm that would take Acorns motor voter case, Foulkes claims that Acorn specifically sought out Obamas representation in the motor voter case, remembering Obama from the days when he worked with Talbot. And while many reports speak of Obamas post-law school role organizing Project VOTE in 1992, Foulkes makes it clear that this project was undertaken in direct partnership with Acorn. Foulkes then stresses Obamas yearly service as a key figure in Acorns leadership-training seminars.
At least a few news reports have briefly mentioned Obamas role in training Acorns leaders, but none that I know of have said what Foulkes reports next: that Obamas long service with Acorn led many members to serve as the volunteer shock troops of Obamas early political campaigns his initial 1996 State Senate campaign, and his failed bid for Congress in 2000 (Foulkes confuses the dates of these two campaigns.) With Obama having personally helped train a new cadre of Chicago Acorn leaders, by the time of Obamas 2004 U.S. Senate campaign, Obama and Acorn were old friends, says Foulkes.
So along with the reservoir of political support that came to Obama through his close ties with Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Pfleger, and other Chicago black churches, Chicago Acorn appears to have played a major role in Obamas political advance. Sure enough, a bit of digging into Obamas years in the Illinois State Senate indicates strong concern with Acorns signature issues, as well as meetings with Acorn and the introduction by Obama of Acorn-friendly legislation on the living wage and banking practices. You begin to wonder whether, in his Springfield days, Obama might have best been characterized as the Senator from Acorn.
This is a little off target, but can anybody provide a reference for a definition of liberation theology?
Please refresh my memory: what, exactly, is the “TUCC”?
