Perpetuating the mythology of hateful and racist Tea Party zealots, United Church of Christ and United Methodist officials are attacking the demonstrators outside the Capitol who protested the March 21 vote for Obamacare. “I have been watching the activities of the Tea Party for months curious about their underlying motives,” intoned the Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, president of the 1.1 million member United Church of Christ. He condemned Tea Party demonstrators for having “spit upon” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) and having “shouted names that we have not heard in the public square since the days of the Civil Rights movement,”...

Bill Ayers made a visit to the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC to talk about radical education reform, and New York Times Metro reporter Colin Moynihan portrayed the domestic terrorist as a mild-mannered liberal in the misleadingly headlined Monday story "Ex-Radical Talks of Education and Justice, Not Obama."

All I can say is "Wow." If McCain had known of this tape a few weeks ago, the chance to hammer Obama into submission would have been possible. Now, with just 8 days to election, he must work fast to exploit the shocking admissions made by Obama that 1) he believes that the Warren Court did not "break free from the essential constraints" found in the Constitution in order to redistribute wealth to the Black poor; and 2) he believes in "redistributive change" for America. Here's the video of Obama's interview on Public Radio station WBEZ-FM in 2001: == PLEASE...

Barack Obama is jumping on John McCain's statement that he shares a "common philosophy" with President Bush as evidence that his Republican rival is out of touch. Speaking to an enormous crowd that filled a Denver park, Barack Obama said McCain finally gave us a little "straight talk." He was referring to McCain's comment during a televised interview Sunday that "of course" he and Bush share the philosophy of the Republican Party. The Democratic presidential contender said that philosophy amounts to giving more to millionaires and billionaires in hope that it trickles down. Obama and McCain are competing intensely for...

Last night, the question about Sarah Palin wasn't if she's risen too fast, but where she's been for so long. She may have given the best speech of either political convention. She delivered a brilliantly written text flawlessly. Politicians who've been on the national stage for decades could do no better, and usually do worse. Newsrooms across America must be in abject despair. The unlikely VP nominee the media hoped to crush out of the gate is unaffected by their condescension and scorn - and is bent on giving better than she takes. Miss Congeniality isn't afraid to administer an...

Time for the daily combative Kelly interview, featuring muppet-ish Obama spokestool Bill Burton in his recurring role. The beauty of this clip is how it ties the day’s two stories together in a bow. Got a question about The One’s penchant for socialist rhetoric? Then prepare to have your motives challenged and maybe your access cut off, on top of the abuse you’ll take once his vicious little cultists get involved. Just ask “extreme hate monger” David Freddoso. She came ready to play, though, didn’t she? The polling stats flow effortlessly! Exit quotation: “You may have the rest of the...

Obama's Bill Burton Gets Beaten Up By Megyn Kelly

NRA hopes to seal election by painting Obama as no friend of the firearm The National Rifle Association is pouring money and manpower into Nevada — the state’s 3rd Congressional District in particular — in hopes of defeating Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and carrying Republican Rep. Jon Porter to a fourth term in Congress. The group is spending $40 million nationwide this election season to tell its 4 million members — and tens of millions more gun owners — Obama would be the most anti-gun president in history. In Southern Nevada, the NRA has organized 60 volunteers to promote...

There was a great article in the New York Times yesterday about Barack Obama’s time as a faculty member at the University of Chicago Law School. The timing was uncanny for me, as I had recently pulled some CD’s out of our archive room and been listening to some appearances that Obama made as a guest on Odyssey, the talk show I used to produce here at Chicago Public Radio. We had Obama, then a State Senator and Senior Lecturer at the Law School, on the program 3 times between 1998 and 2002. When he joined us, he was more...

As the presidential race heats up and Democratic nominee Barack Obama is forced to respond to increasingly tough attacks from the Palin-energized GOP ticket, his campaign style is coming under growing scrutiny. Some feel the candidate has too often been more head than heart, more intellectual than passionate, less a leader than a lecturer. Will his style survive the rough-and-tumble of a modern media-saturated presidential campaign? Yet balancing the two personae — professor and politician — has been key to Obama's success. Much of his style can be traced back to his dozen years as an academic, at the University...

-snip- And on concerns that Democrats might control both the White House and Congress she said the following. "Elect us, hold us accountable, and make a judgment and then go from there. But I do tell you that if the Democrats win and have substantial majorities, Congress of the United States will be more bipartisan," said Pelosi. In Cleveland this morning Senator John McCain continued to link Barack Obama with Nancy Pelosi and the democratic leadership, accusing them of wanting to tax Americans and spend their money. "Do you want to keep it and invest it in your future or...

The audio recording of Barack Obama espousing his socialist philosophy of “redistribution of wealth” is all over the Internet and Fox News today (although the other media outlets are ignoring it), but there’s another disturbing section on that tape that has so far escaped notice. The link to the audio is here: Chicago Public Radio - Audio Library: Odyssey.At about 15:30, Obama compares what was going on in the United States during the time of Brown vs. the Board of Education to ... Nazi Germany. Yes, really. Here’s the quote: “...just to take a, sort of a realist perspective...there’s a...

One of the mysteries of this campaign year has been why John McCain keeps campaigning in Pennsylvania when the polls show him far behind Barack Obama there—51 percent to 41 percent in the RealClearPolitics.com average of recent polls as I write. A clue comes from the most recent poll there by SurveyUSA, which helpfully provides a regional breakdown of results. SurveyUSA, as it has consistently done, shows McCain running within the margin of error in the southwest (metro Pittsburgh and surroundings) and in the Northeast (Scranton and the anthracite country), which historically are very Democratic areas. Joe Biden's Scranton roots...

An appeal to Grass Roots America Part 2!You can read Part 1 hereYES WE CAN! WE CAN WIN! WE MUST WIN! TURNOUT! TURNOUT! TURNOUT!Forget all the polls, all the stories made up to make news and suppress votes. The only vote that counts is the one on election day. How many votes does it take to win an election you ask? It takes just one vote, yours. If our turnout is as close to 100% as we can make it, we will win the election, that's a fact. We must cancel out the votes of not just the democrats who...

ABC will air "Pushing Daisies" in its usual time period on Wednesday night -- not the Barack Obama ad. The news ends a guessing game that's been going on for nearly a month. The Obama campaign bought a half hour of airtime on NBC, Fox and CBS on Oct. 9, spending about $1 million per network. ABC was absent from the list and the network remained silent about its programming intentions. With ratings for "Daisies" slipping, some have wondered whether the network would air "Daisies" as usual, also air the Obama ad, or run something else entirely. One source said...

That is spreading insidiously through this country. It was/is a subject to be whispered or commented on in blogs off the main track...no more! That subject is riots, civil war, insurection. A year ago it would have been unthinkable that it would have been discussed or even considered possible. But now it is being talked about, by everyday Americans and on the blogs and even by journalists of all stripes. The fear that no matter what the outcome of the upcoming election, there will be violence. And that violence could escalate into riots, and the riots into general insurection and...
