Once again we have another story that has been picked up in a big way by the Blogosphere but is currently being ignored by the mainstream media. And this time the story is huge. If you've seen the Drudge Report today you will know exactly which story this is; the audio of a 2001 interview on Chicago public radio station WBEZ FM in which Barack Obama explicitly calls for the "redistribution of wealth." You won't find any information about this blockbuster story in the MSM just yet but as been very typical lately, you can be informed on this topic on the Blogosphere including this report from Steve Schippert of Wizbang who posted it at 1:20 this morning while the members of the MSM were complacently sleeping, comfortable in the knowledge that Obama probably had the election in the bag:
The audio of a Barack Obama radio interview below is stunning. Unfortunately, it will probably stun few. For once the word "Constitution" is mentioned, electoral eyes roll into the backs of voters' heads as memories of a boring high school history class in a hot, dusty classroom emerge in the place of contemplation of the founding principles of this nation.

His reply to Joe-the-Plumber has been characterized as rhetorical excess from one who spent a lot of time in Southside politics.
Let’s see if the common Democrat voter want to buy this Marxist lament given in his own voice during a freindly NPR in depth interview. This was not rhetorical lazyness; this is his view of our nation.
Included in this view is a flawed Constitution and one that must be replaced to facilitate a through “thievery” by redistribution.
The Friends showed the cover this morning laughing. I wish it would get more coverage...Mrs. Clinton must be screaming, too.
The media USED to have to follow the NYT lead.
Now it’s becoming FOX News who is leading the way.
No wonder FOX News is eating their lunch.
The purpose of government is “To do for the people collectively what they cannot do for themselves individually”.
What is NB, can you link to it or give us the summary, the only way the MSM is going to talk about this if McCain/Palin talk about it.
One thing we love in America is the underdog.
OMG
What does NB stand for?
I just ran it. Sometimes YouTube gets funny and puts up that message but hit PLAY anyway and it should run.
Hillary wrote her thesis on Alinsky and probably was more radical in her youth. But I think she’s now more on the Eleanor Roosevelt progressivist-nanny state side, rather than the Marxism red in tooth and claw side. The problem is that more moderate Dems are facing a radicalized party that is going to punish them unless they get in line. I hope more of them try to get the message out.
During the dim's primarires, I told people to consider Hillary as the Stalinist, and "Uh"bama as the Maoist..."Uh"bama's approach is still reminiscent of Chairman Mao...
That cover is posted on this thread, page 1 or maybe 2.
I heard an interview where Obama was defending this “redistributing wealth” idea. He said its just “neighborliness”. Obama and everyone needs to be reminded that it is only neighborliness if your neighbors voluntarily help you in some way. It is NOT neighborly for the government to forcibly take money from your neighbors, give you part of it and keep the rest for themselves.
“We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.” - Obama ************** William Ayers: Prairie Fire
Page 40 of the manuscript is typical: It outlines the Weather Underground’s strategies for overthrowing the United States. Among the many strategies are: eliminating the feeling of patriotism among the general public, destroying the government from within, and starting a mass insurrection among the lower classes.
“Our job is to tap the discontent seething in many sectors of the population, to find allies everywhere people are hungry or angry, to mobilize poor and working people against imperialism.” “Our final goal is the destruction of imperialism, the seizure of power, and the creation of socialism. Our strategy for this stage of the struggle is to organize the oppressed people of the imperial nation itself to join with the colonies in the attack on imperialism. This process of attacking and weakening imperialism involves the defeat of all kinds of national chauvinism and arrogance; this is a precondition to our fight for socialism.”

Yea they tried this neighborliness when this country was founded. It was called the COMMON WEALTH of Pennsylvania. They intended to test such a system for 7 years. Everything they had was brought to a central place and the people in charge distributed to each his need.
It lasted all of 2 years before they finally gave up on the idea. They discovered that people were not willing to work for someone else, so they didn’t, then there wasn’t anything to distribute.
Here's an analogy: Giving the government the job of distributing wealth is like giving the Cookie Monster the job of distributing cookies.
Don’t you mean BETTER legs than Betty Grable?
LOVE IT:)
