TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: biden; bo; brownshirts; democrat; democrats; mccain; obama; obamabiden
We can and should use this technique (neighbor to neighbor contacts) as well. The following is formatted for copying, pasting, and E-mailing. It will probably fit on a double-sided flier (maybe as 10-point type) as well.

Obama: "Show your loyalty to the black masses, strike out and name names"

Please post and circulate as widely as possible. The truth about Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father" is more damning than the smears and urban legends. Unlike the latter, the following quotes all have page numbers to allow the reader to visit a bookstore or library, or order the book over the Internet and verify that Barack Obama really wrote this material.

    But this strategy alone couldn’t provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

    "Dreams From My Father," page 101 (paperback, ISBN 978-1-4000-8277-3)

Joyce was a multiracial classmate who wouldn't embrace her Black heritage to Barack Obama's satisfaction, as shown by this excerpt.

    That was the problem with people like Joyce. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounced real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. …The truth was that I understood [Joyce], her and all the other black kids who felt the way she did. In their mannerisms, their speech, their mixed-up hearts, I kept recognizing pieces of myself. And that’s exactly what scared me. Their confusion made me question my own racial credentials all over again. …To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

    “Dreams From My Father,” pages 99-100

Although many of us change our politics after college, Barack Obama's membership in a racist church (what else would one call a church that cheers a remark like "There were a whole lot of white people crying?"), his reluctance to "reject" Louis Farrakhan's endorsement, and his open association with individuals like Al Sharpton (of Freddy's Fashion Mart infamy) and Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright show that Barack Obama is totally unfit to hold a position of public trust in a multiracial and multi-ethnic nation like the United States.

Here are more quotes from "Dreams From My Father," all with page numbers. See for yourself, and decide whether someone like this can represent Americans who come in almost every color and ethnicity on earth.

    Tim was not a conscious brother. Tim wore argyle sweaters and pressed jeans and talked like Beaver Cleaver. ...His white girlfriend was probably waiting for him up in his room, listening to country music.

    "Dreams From My Father," pp. 101-102

Right; Tim's white girlfriend was one of those "bitter" small town people who "cling to guns and religions" per Barry himself, or just "white trash"--the more concise term his supporters use at my.barackobama.com, over which his campaign exercises editorial control. You know, those working folks who drive pickup trucks with gun racks under the rear window, like NASCAR races, and of course listen to country music. Note also Barry's objection to his black classmate's white girlfriend.

Obama’s only problem with Black Nationalism had to do with questions of its effectiveness

    It contradicted the morality my mother had taught me, a morality of subtle distinctions–between individuals of goodwill and those who wished me ill, between active malice and ignorance or indifference. I had a personal stake in that moral framework; I’d discovered that I couldn’t escape it if I tried. And yet perhaps it was a framework that blacks in this country could no longer afford; perhaps it weakened black resolve, encouraged confusion within the ranks. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and for many blacks, times were chronically desperate. If nationalism could create a strong and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it caused people like me, would be of little consequence.

    If nationalism could deliver. As it turned out, questions of effectiveness, and not sentiment, caused most of my quarrels with Rafiq.

    –Dreams From My Father, pp. 199-200

    …I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites… (page xv)

    I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though… (page 93) [http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/streetterms/ByAlpha.asp?strTerm=B, “Blow” = “Cocaine; to inhale cocaine; to smoke marijuana; to inject heroin”]

    I would occasionally pick up the paper [Louis Farrakhan's "The Final Call"] from these unfailingly polite men, in part out of sympathy to their heavy suits in the summer, their thin coats in winter; or sometimes because my attention was caught by the sensational, tabloid-style headlines (CAUCASIAN WOMAN ADMITS: WHITES ARE THE DEVIL). Inside the front cover, one found reprints of the minister’s [Farrakhan's] speeches, as well as stories that could have been picked straight off the AP news wire were it not for certain editorial embelleshments (”Jewish Senator Metzenbaum announced today…”).

    Dreams From My Father, p. 201

Obama the Racial Unifier:

    That was the problem with people like Joyce [a college classmate of Italian, African-American, Native American, and French ethnicity]. They talked about the richness of their multicultural heritage and it sounced real good, until you noticed that they avoided black people. …The truth was that I understood [Joyce], her and all the other black kids who felt the way she did. In their mannerisms, their speech, their mixed-up hearts, I kept recognizing pieces of myself. And that’s exactly what scared me. Their confusion made me question my own racial credentials all over again. …To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

    “Dreams From My Father,” pages 99-100

    But this strategy alone couldn’t provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

    “Dreams From My Father,” page 101

There is only one “side” for a person who wishes to represent the people of the United States, who come in almost every race and ethnicity on earth, and that is the American side. This country does not need or want a White Nationalist, Black Nationalist, or anything other than an American Nationalist in any position of public trust or responsibility in this country.

This one will kill the Demoncrats in November.

Can they actually believe that “getting in people’s faces and arguing with them” will have the effect they want?

These are AMERICAN VOTERS.

I could never bring myself to pick up that book and read it. I have hear plenty of excerpts from it though. That book alone she cause anyone with a brain to stay clear of this moron. Very disturbing he could become President.

There is a problem with your tactic here. You are abusing Obama’s confessions about his youthful thoughts on race: raised white, looks black, coming into his own. I don’t think it’s fair to slam him for those feelings and attempts to become a man when he was a teen.

There is enough to fight him on once he grew up. Teens explore. He had a rough childhood and a long way to go to become a man.

McCain by his own admission too had a lot to learn and prove at the same age. Maybe he wasn’t reading black separatist literature and doing lines of cocaine. Maybe he was just sleeping with every cute girl he could get. But neither of their underage exploits have anything to do with this presidential race.

Get quotes and facts about Obama’s young adult life: it’s extremely target rich. Obama was becoming a young Communist while McCain was taking on Communist torture for our country.

ya I had the same thought. Naturally all of us talk about politics and current events with family and friends. But it crosses some lines with people if you are supposed to get in their faces about it. But that’s what Barack said to do.

I wish he could be confronted about that comment. If he asked for people to talk about the campaign and talk about the issues, that’s one thing. But being so threatening about it is quite another thing.

But if he were confronted I bet he would just say that he didn’t mean it that way, and the fawning MSM would give him a pass on it.

I went and signed up (so you don’t have to} and they give you a list of 50 people along with their full name, age, and phone number. That can’t be right can it? There is a link for you to choose what type of person you are (Pacific Asian, African American, etc.) When you click Arab American it gives you this little tidbit of info ...

Welcome to Arab Americans for Obama

“If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It’s that fundamental belief - I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper - that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. ‘E pluribus unum.’ Out of many, one.”

Just what we need, a fear mongering America divider as Pres.

My own politics have changed somewhat since I was in college, and I recognize that Obama’s might have changed as well. His open association with racists, and his membership in a racist church, are however consistent with what he says he believed in college. This is why it is eminently fair to attack him for this.

Wait a minute, if I go to Obama's website and sign up, they'll give me the names and phone numbers of 50 of my neighbors to call and harass?

Ohmigosh, I want to do it just so I can tell those people Obama gave me their phone number!

OHMIGOSH! I signed up for this and they give voter ID numbers along with phone numbers!

If you sign up and are given a list of 50 people, those people will NOT be given to anyone else. So, I think I just got these 50 people off their call list.

Good point. Maybe we should all sign up just to save our neighbors the headache.

I went and registered to see the voters in my neighborhood. Trust me, they are all solidly McCain voters save one. By the way, they are 95% all women too. I go to church with 2/3 of them and there's no way these people will vote for Obama. I'm going to speak to most of them in the morning after services, and I'm going to ask them if I can "report" back to the Obama campaign that they are solidly McCain voters. Then I'm going to look at the next set of voters given to me. If my suspicions are confirmed, they will all be McCain voters as well. Obama won't be happy when I report my neighborhood's results.

Per the N2N website

It is absolutely essential that you report your contacts. The results from your interactions are critically important to make sure we can follow up with those voters properly. The sooner we learn what you have learned, the faster we can apply this knowledge to our campaign. This information helps us evaluate how we are doing and helps us run a smarter, more efficient campaign.

I was only given 25 names. That this personal information, including Voter ID numbers, is given is an awful invasion of privacy, IMO.
