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.

If McCain and Palin don't bring this up, then they deserve to be fired.
“It’s not in any way perceived as a negative by his constituents or the MSM”
That is the scary part. He;’s sold communism to the masses without them caring at all.All the low lives in my area are all set to get free money from the rich .The illegals and minorities are especially excited.Big screen TV and expensive sneaker sales will be through the roof next week , mark my word.
How would you like to be an Obama talking head and have to answer this? I bet that situation is going to come up on F&F this am. A few of them you can literally see their lips tripping over their tongue.
“And most likely the end as far as major media outlets. This is a story that they must suppress if they want contact with the Obama administration.”

I don’t think this one will be suppressed. Too many places covering it. And if Fox has it on its site and will talk about it this morning, well it is out there.
I am just waiting to see how “the false messiah” will spin this.
As usual they won’t capitalize on anything that would help them . If he had balls he’d come right out at a news conference today and play the radio clip and just slam the public with it , do you want a socialist government or not ,plain and simple!
I’ve been hanging out at the youtube site for a number of hours (like less than an hour after it went up) & I see a few people trying to down play it, trying to spin it, trying to bring up things about McCain & Palin, a couple of people playing the converted Republican game. Haven’t seen any sign of the pros going at it yet.
A poster yesterday had attended an Obama rally in South Florida a few days ago to see what was going on. She or he said that suddenly the entire crowd began to chant, “I want pie, I want PIE!” This was apparently in response to Obama’s egging them on by screaming that they were not getting their piece of the pie.
Bear in mind that a lot of these Obama followers were college students, trade and craft union members, and relatively prosperous Americans who are not starving in the streets by any means. Aside from the fantasy nature of their demand, playing on a grievance that they really have no reason to hold, their sheer idiocy in really thinking that the government is going to give them stuff was stunning.
Like any dictator, Obama will get his pie and so will his buddies in the government, because being a government employee will become the only way to get ahead, just as it was in Russia or any Communist country. This French-revolution type mob, on the other hand, will get nothing. After after the economy has totally collapsed, they’ll be lucky if they are not starving in the streets.
the MSM WANTS REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH!!!
Minorities aren’t the only ones, alas. The ones who are excited around here are the white, well-off college students at a small private liberal arts college in my town. They have somehow gotten the idea that Obama is going to give each of them a check for $4000.
Sent an email to CNN, asking why it was being ignored. Know it won’t do much good, but it made me feel better.
I should have been in bed hours ago. Instead, I’ve been following this story & am all full of coffee. I need sleep!!!
This is why the Web in general, and the Blogosphere in particular, are so great. In the pre-Internet era, the MSM had the power to completely bury this story. Nowadays, no. BTW, just out of curiosity, does anybody, outside of doctors and dentists for their waiting rooms, actually BUY Time or Newsweek? There is absolutely NO reason to shell out money for those periodicals. By the time those magazines hit the newstands, the news they cover is already old news.
Thats good news. I think they may try to say its a fake, but other than that I can’t see how they can wiggle out of this one. AND Sarah won’t allow it either.
LOL! Election season is a sleepless season!
I challenge all conservatives to do the same. It may take an "Atlas Shrugged" scenario to wake up this country.
Some people do still buy them. I’m a mail carrier, so I delivery the darn things. But I think the reason is that it is a cultural thing. If you are a responsible, thoughtful and up on current events you have a Newsweek sitting on your coffee table and last weeks edition in the bathroom:)
Was that rally on State Road 7 in Broward? They were handing out free food at the Lauderhill Mall.
That's easy. "Senator Obama was only a man-child of 40 when those despicable words were spoken. He should not be held accountable..."
Boy, you know it!

Your doc & dentist have recent copies, not just the issues that are a couple of years old? LOL
