Here’s a quick run-down of some of Barack Obama’s questionable and disturbing associations: * Rabidly anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. The Obamas were regular dinner guests at Khalidi’s Hyde Park home for years. * Terrorist sympathizer Ali Abunimah, who runs the viciously anti-Israel web site Electronic Intifada. * Unrepentant Weather Underground terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. * Reverend Jeremiah Wright. What more needs to be said? * Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Samantha Power — fired after calling Hillary Clinton a “monster.” * Anti-Israel foreign policy adviser Robert Malley — fired when it was revealed he has been holding...

Within just the last few weeks, there was a female MSM journalist [as I recall, she may have been covering the Obama campaign] who said something to the effect that Obama & William Ayres were "much friendlier" or "much more friendly" than the American people realized, and that "everyone in the press" knew about it [but with the implication being that those in the know were determined to censor the knowledge and keep it from being disseminated to the American people]. I only saw this reported on one obscure blog site somewhere [maybe within the last ten days or so],...

(CNN) — The core of Hillary Clinton’s argument to superdelegates has been her electability – that she is the candidate most likely to beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November. But according to exit polls, voters don’t share that view. In Indiana, Democratic primary voters were equally split over who was most likely to beat McCain, with both drawing 48 percent. And in North Carolina, voters gave the edge to Barack Obama: 54 percent thought he was more likely to win in November, while 40 percent [...]

There is a huge blogswarm going on about this photo, from Chicago Magazine, of Obama's unrepentant terrorist associate, Bill Ayers stomping on the American flag. The photo was taken in 2001, the same time Obama served on the Woods Fund Board with Ayers. This was also the same time that Ayers donated to Obama's campaign. ... many political bloggers are saying it is long past due for Obama to disown his association with this controversial radical. ... It's worthy of recycling this to further probe into Obama's judgment, the one thing he says he should be measured by.

Barack Obama made an impassioned appeal to voters last night to end Hillary Clinton's dreams of another comeback in the race for the White House. The Illinois senator told Democrat voters heading to the polls today in Indiana and North Carolina: "I need help." With less than a month to go before the state-by-state vote ends, the Obama camp is desperate to finish off Mrs Clinton's campaign to become the Democrat's presidential nominee. Barack Obama is desperate to beat Hillary Clinton, so much so that he is counting on support from celebrities including Tom Hanks. Mr Obama, 46, also broke...

RUSH: A TV station in Indianapolis thinks they caused the operational pause in Operation Chaos. WISH-TV, the anchor Eric Halvorson and his report last night on Operation Chaos. HALVORSON: Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh called for a pause in what he calls Operation Chaos. It's a call to conservatives to vote in Democratic primaries to extend the nomination battle. Yesterday, 24 Hour News 8 Jim Shella reported on official reactions to Operation Chaos here, a story Limbaugh referenced on the air today. RUSH: So they're implying, ladies and gentlemen, that Operation Chaos, the operational pause was due to their...

At the start of his campaign, Obama ran in counterpoint to the previous candidacies of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Here was a black man running for president on issues that had nothing to do with race as he rose above the victimization rhetoric that characterizes so many speeches of African-American political figures. Now, in attacking the Rev. Wright as he did Tuesday, Obama can further define himself in contrast to Wright, just as he did earlier vis-à-vis Jackson and Sharpton. So if, as the Chinese ideogram suggests, crisis is a synthesis of danger and opportunity, the controversy surrounding Wright...

The Massachusetts Democratic primary, along with nearly two dozen other primaries and caucuses, was held on Feb. 5. Hillary Clinton won it by 15 points, one of her best showings anywhere this year, and Michael Dukakis voted in it—but he won’t say for whom. [SNIP] Mr. Dukakis has maintained an adamantly neutral public stance throughout the campaign, hoping instead to sell both candidates and their campaigns on the need for assembling a massive grassroots organizing effort—a captain and six block leaders in all 200,000 precincts in the country—for the fall. But he also said that Barack Obama will probably be...

Live NOW on FOX, CNN, and MSNBC! The Holy Messiah Obama is throwing Rev, Wright under the Bus!!

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright couldn't have done more damage to Barack Obama's campaign if he had tried. And you have to wonder if that's just what one friend of Wright wanted. Shortly before he rose to deliver his rambling, angry, sarcastic remarks at the National Press Club Monday, Wright sat next to, and chatted with, Barbara Reynolds. A former editorial board member at USA Today, she runs something called Reynolds News Services and teaches ministry at the Howard University School of Divinity. (She is an ordained minister). It also turns out that Reynolds - introduced Monday as a member of...

<p>The Democratic National Committee has sparked outrage among veterans and others across the internet by running an anti-John McCain ad that shows U.S. soldiers being blown up.</p> <p>After the new ad’s voice-over castigated McCain for suggesting that the United States may stay in Iraq for “maybe 100” years, the footage becomes shocking.</p>

Barack Obama's impetuous minister says the U.S. government lies about virtually everything. He refers to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Uncle Clarence," claims he sexually abused Anita Hill and calls the Supreme Court a "closet Klan court" that he says was "stacked" by "Daddy Bush," Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford." He says the U.S. lied about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the CIA jailed Nelson Mandela and that the U.S. government created AIDS to commit genocide against Blacks.

FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman [Weather Underground] leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare.

Return to the Article April 27, 2008Another Obama MarxistBy Lance Fairchok Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign.  And they seem to feel the warmth.  President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979,  says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change." A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy...

Education: How exactly do former terrorists get to teach at America's universities? Unfortunately, Obama's friends William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are just a few of the inmates running those asylums. Obama associates William Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, are more than former members of the Weather Underground, terrorists who engaged in bombings of American government buildings during the Vietnam War. They are academics. Ayers and the Weather Underground bombed New York City police headquarters in June 1970, the U.S. Capitol Building in March 1971 and the Pentagon in May 1972. His memoirs appeared in the New York Times, oddly...

Meet Mr. and Mrs. William Ayers Joseph Farah Posted: April 25, 2008 Does Barack Obama have some explaining to do about accepting money from two unrepentant, homegrown, communist revolutionary terrorists who bombed the Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations and banks in the 1970s? Yes, I think he does. But there's a much bigger question raised by Obama's relationship with Bernardine Dohrn and William Ayers, ringleaders of the Weather Underground organization. The question is: Why is a couple like this is not only accepted in liberal Democratic Party circles and the academic world, but embraced with open arms – in fact,...

Charles Johnson (Little Green Footballs) clarifies a point that some had made concerning an assertion he made about Michelle Obama's online relationship with terror fundraiser Hatem El-Hady. These some people had wanted to believe that Michelle Obama hadn't personally added el-Hady to her online "friends" list because these some people really don't want to see a troubling pattern emerging with Mr. & Mrs. Obama. These some people were wrong. A troubling pattern is emerging. By some of course he means me in my very public speculation that perhaps Michelle was to mybarackobama.com as "Tom" was to MySpace, but he just...

If history repeats, the loser of this year’s presidential election will blame the news media. Richard Nixon, in the wake of his loss in the 1962 California gubernatorial race, bitterly taunted reporters, telling them, “You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.” (Turned out he was wrong on that point.) Barbara Bush also had some choice words about the press when her husband, President George H.W. Bush, lost his reelection bid in 1992. The media could be even a larger target this year because of the influence of blogs and talking heads...
