I think I found the source audio stream. Notice there are interviews from Rashid Kalidi that month as well. I don't have Real Audio on my machine. Can someone save these before they get "cleaned"?

That’s awesome. You did a great job with formatting and pulling out the key phrases.

I uploaded the 6 September 2001 program to the same link as above. Please ping me if you need any more programs transcoded to MP3.

Plus, we now have a few more interviews to rummage through from his past.,/i>

It would be a very good idea if those interviews were saved in several different locations. There's no telling when Obama's brownshirts will have the station remove these interviews from the internet.

How are they going to deny his own words? Are they going to try and say it was taken out of context? The MSM will ignore it as always.

Slugobama calls the Constitution of the United States an "Imperfect document" that has a huge blind spot.

It appears Obamessiah wants to rewrite the Costitution of the United States in his own image so that it will address redistribution of wealth and other Afrocentric issues in order to right the supposed Afrocentirc wrongs and injustices he believes America has been and is perpetrating on blacks in this country!

The man is a menace to society and to our very way of life. Someone had better get this to McCain and they had better turn it into hard hitting ads against him ASAP, before it is too late.

I see Fox & Friends has played snippets of the Youtube clip (not what we’ve unearthed here on FreeRepublic).

If Palin & McCain bring it up today at their rallies the MSM will be forced to address it. It’s going viral bigtime and Obama has left a HUGE trail on WBEZ where he sounds like your typical community agitator.

If the campaign can play this right — it will feed right into the unease that people feel about him once you take away the Hopey Changey sloganeering.

The DUmmies are claiming the “redistribution of wealth” comment is taken out of context. I don’t have audio here. Are they wrong?

Important ping.

Save these audio files, and screenshots.

This will go viral.

The full, unabridged programs are now available above, so that argument won’t fly any more.
