Everyone is out to destroy Palin - but it's Obama's past we should examine
Daily Mail ^ | Oct. 12, 2008 | Melanie Phillips

Posted on 10/12/2008 2:47:30 PM PDT by AuntB

With all eyes glued to the collapse of global capitalism ... attention has been somewhat distracted from the race to lead what still remains the most powerful nation on earth.... We ignore it at our peril.

From the shockingly partisan presentation by the pro-Obama media on both sides of the Atlantic, you'd think this was a contest between twin pillars of rectitude and inspirational high seriousness on the Democratic side, and a joke Republican ticket consisting of an erratic old man and a brainless, wacko, gun-toting beauty queen, who in a fit of madness John McCain picked as his vice-presidential candidate.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, the beauty queen in question, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, has struck an enormous chord with Middle America. As a result, Barack Obama's media supporters are making a huge effort to destroy her..........

..... Obama is at the centre of a network of radical associations which he has tried to conceal......

Obama's own political career was actually launched in Ayers's Chicago house at a fundraising-event in 1995 which fired the starting gun for his run at the Illinois Senate......

Through the Woods Fund, Obama also funnelled millions of dollars to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Described by an academic sympathiser as 'a uniquely militant organisation', ACORN played a significant role in the sub-prime scandal - which detonated America's financial crisis ......

But Obama's connections with ACORN go even deeper. Even though his campaign has denied this, for several years running he trained its activists and in 1992 even ran one of its voter registration projects........

The reason Sarah Palin has struck such a chord is that Middle America sees her as the first candidate in its lifetime who stands against that destructive nihilism.....

How can it be that the media has come up with more negative stories about Gov. Palin in a few weeks than they have COVERED the much more disturbing associations and evidence of wrongdoing of BH0?

How? Well, it wasn’t by accident.

They are bound and determined to be the end all of this election. It took the Brits to report it. How sad is that?

This is the most straightforward article that I’ve seen to date about Obama’s past. It’s disturbing that Melanie Phillips in England has to do the work that American journalists should be doing. England’s lucky to have a credible journalist like Melanie.

VIPs are saluted. Mrs. jimfree and momma jimfree were saluted on arriving at my commissioning ceremony in 1980. I believe Gov. Palin appropriately returns the salute with her smile.

You’re right.

It’s “ready, two” to drop the salute.

It’s been awhile since basic.

I hope he covers when Obama was in Kenya, campaigning for Odinga. And maybe on the taxpayers dime. That needs to be brought up again and again.

If Hannity doesn't cover the Odinga scandal tonight, tune in to Hannity & Colmes tomorrow night (Monday, Oct 13). From what I heard on Friday, Sean is supposed to have Jerome Corsi (author of "Obama Nation") on the show with "new" information regarding Obama-Odinga in Kenya.
