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.....

I love Brits. All of them EXCEPT their worthless media peons. I also love Canadians with the same expressed exception. I don’t like the French, however.

Amazing, this has to be reported by the Brits to get any airplay over here.

Hannity is right, US Journalism died in 2008

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 - by physically intimidating banks into lowering credit standards for poor and minority customers.

The Obama campaign has paid an ACORN subsidiary $800,000 to register new voters. But now, numerous states are launching investigations into massive voter fraud being carried out by ACORN activists who are being caught falsifying voter registration cards, registering fictitious individuals and hounding voters to register multiple times.

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.

She could be following the Commanding Officer on board. You can’t see the whole picture.

“Hand Salute” is the order

You hold it until told “Ready, Front”

AuntB, your timing could not be more perfect, as I am having
a ‘discussion’ on one of my USENET newsgroups where a bunch of liberals are attacking Sarah Palin for anything and everything under the sun {the “My God, she’s giving her new baby a bottle of formula instead of nursing him, the NERVE!!!” sort of attacks) and how ‘afraid’ they are of conservatives like me who actually like and support the ‘governator’. ;-)

Heading over to forward this to them right now. Will someone volunteer to help me clean up the mess when their heads explode? LOL. :-)

Hannity is doing a look-see into Obama’s past tonight. Stay tuned.

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.

And McCain in a town hall calls the ACORN accusations “alleged.” I’m having an angry weekend.

Whenever any of this surfaces, the Left tries to suppress it by screaming 'guilt by association'. Not so. This is guilt by participation. The left cries 'smear' and 'racism'. On the contrary - if Obama wasn't a black Democrat, with this history his candidacy would have been toast before it got started.

Just consider if the boot had been on the other foot and McCain's political career had been launched by an abortion clinic bomber; his mentor for 20 years had been a Ku Klux Klansman, and he had paid nearly a million dollars to far-Right militias who strong-armed voters into fraudulent registrations.

...Most likely saluting an accompanying Officer. Only the Commander and Chief, as a civilian, would be expected to return a salute. You must not have been in the military. Palin is doing it correctly.

EXCELLENT! Go Melanie! The woman has guts to just say it like it is—when 90% of Europe are pulling for Obama.

That 90% are living a fool’s paradise, thinking an Obama win is magical and will will bring the uppity cowboy America down to size—very short sighted...when in fact a weakened America endangers them as well as us.

I guess he’s too worried about being called a liar.

You can tell nothing big is going to happen Wednesday night. McCain’s fire is waning.

Turn Sarah loose!
