Andrew McCarthy: “Obama Is Comfortable With People Who Hate This Country”

Some things just don’t need a lot of introductory material. This is the case with the video below.

Andrew McCarthy is the author of Willful Blindness: Memoir of the Jihad. Mr. MCarthy was the federal prosecutor responsible for leading the investigation of Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and others involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing .

Lou Dobbs had a talk with Mr. McCarthy about Bill Ayers and his relationship with Barack Obama. I bet the McCain camp is salivating even as we speak. The CNN transcript is below.

Here is the transcript:

DOBBS: Bill Ayers, we’re hearing today from Mayor Daley that he also knows Ayres and he’s just a fine fellow and no problem, don’t be — please don’t be discomforted by Senator Obama’s relationship with him.

MCCARTHY: Look, of all the people who’ve ever bombed the Pentagon and the State Department and the New York City police headquarters, I’m sure he’s one of the best. But I — my sense is that regular Americans aren’t going to see it that way.

DOBBS: Senator Obama, you are declaring rather straight forwardly, is denying some relatively close relationships that he is suggesting are not — are distant.

MCCARTHY: Yeah, well he’s denying the relationship, but I think more importantly what he’s trying to obfuscate is that there’s a trajectory to all of this and there’s a theme that runs through it and whether its some of the statements made by his wife or Reverend Wright or Bernadine Dohrn and Ayers, the fact is he’s comfortable...Bernadine Dohrn being Ayers’ wife.The other Weather Underground terrorist who was Ayers’ wife. But, he’s comfortable with people who hate this country. And I think when he talks about and makes the theme of his campaign “Change,” and since he hasn’t really explained to us much about the change, we’re entitled to infer, from the people he’s comfortable with, who are social revolutionaries, the kind of change he wants to make in America.

DOBBS: You’re including, obviously, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

MCCARTHY: Of course, right. DOBBS: And — and Ayers (ph). Others?

MCCARTHY: Well, there’s Rashid Khalidi, who was a recipient of some of the largess that Obama controlled when he was on the Woods Board. He is somebody who was –

DOBBS: He was on the board with Ayers (ph)?

MCCARTHY: Yes, when Obama was on the Woods Board with Ayers, they gave grants to Rashid Khalidi, and his work. Now, he has denied being a member of the PLO. But there’s no question he’s an apologist for Palestinian terrorism, including suicide attacks against Israeli soldiers.

Now this explains why Michelle Obama hated her country until her husband ran for the Presidency.

Comment by Hope | 2008-04-21 13:52:18

You know these American haters have MORE than enough money to leave and go elsewhere. So why haven’t they? Obama talks on and on about how he lived here and there which makes me him (so he thinks) more qualified than Hillary regarding world issues. So why doesn’t he just take his family elsewhere?

 

Comment by Patrick Henry | 2008-04-21 15:13:35

Beyond the Fact that Obama has been comfortable with a known Terrorist like William Ayers..who has No regrets for his Terrorists, anti American Acts/
Senator Obama and his wife have been under the Influence of Pasot jeremiah Wright for 20 years who teaches BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY..and who constantly sates that he was Inspired ny the Teachings and Writings of BLACK LIBERATION Activist and Author JAMES H.CONE..who says that Pastor Wrights church is the one Church to MOST REPRESENT the BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY that James Cone believes in and Teaches and has written Books about..It is basically Anti White Theology..and believes that Black people will only get somewhere through BLACK POWER MOVEMENTS…and that includes in RELIGION..

Comment by Patrick Henry | 2008-04-21 15:23:02

I also wonder if this predjustice towards white people is why Pastor Wrights Church embraced the likes of Louis Farrakahn ..and Black Muslim Movements ..and Black power groups like the Black panthers..Than with Main stream Christianity…Perhaps Wrights Church believes in the Islamic Teaching that Jesus Christ really does exist..but that He is coming back to convert the world to ISLAM..I suppost a Person could still call themselfs a “Christian” in that sense and still identify with Islam..and feel closer to Muslims that to Traditional Christian Teaching..

 

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-04-21 15:44:32

Black Liberation Theology is an variation of Liberation Theology. The RCC has been dealing with this stuff for decades. It is militant, redefines theological doctrine to fit the political agenda of the locale, expounds marxist socio-economic solutions and redefines the role of the ideaological “Soldier of Christ” to be literal….In other words it is extremist….Black Liberation Theology also expounds many of the same tenets of Black Separatism. You can check it out. The reason Wright preaches at this church is because main stream denominations will not foster Liberation Theology….Liberation Theology does not recognize denominational authority….

From Rezkowatch, this snippet is from the Chicago Daily Observer, and lists but a few of the effects of the corruption propagated by the IL combine, Obama included: The state of IL can’t pay it’s bills, anymore, A VA home can’t be cared for, properly, because there isn’t enough money.

Maybe Auchi could give them a loan. Wouldn’t it be great, if under the Patriot Act, all of Auchi’s assets could be seized, and ultimately redistributed to the American taxpayers?

From the Chicago Daily Observer:

But he and others will have to make their decisions but please God somebody with acumen and courage do something. The state’s continuing massive pension debt stands at $42 billion. A 1995 law requires the state to contribute $725 million more next year than the $2.1 billion contribution of this year. There is a $500 million increase in Medicaid liability. Item by item the problems are staggering. Repairs and maintenance for the Department of Corrections’ automobile fleet must be cleared through its top command since the department owes $2 million to the state agency that services vehicles—and doesn’t have the funds to pay repair bills.

Only half the 80 beds in the addition to the LaSalle Veterans Home is available to vets requiring nursing care because Illinois doesn’t have the $3 million needed to staff all the new beds—while at the same time 500 eligible veterans are on the waiting lists.

This will be the federal government, shortly, because the politician crooks and their wealthy sponsors have stolen OUR tax money.

Both democratic, and republican.

Oh my. Nails my fears to a tee.

A new kind of McCarthyism.

What part of not vetted yet do they not get?

When we speak of concerns concerning this man there are so many other ties that should be mentioned that don’t get included in the laundry list.

The Rezko connection, his own family, Hamas manifesto, the big picture is rotten to the core.

Love the response to Daly!

The RNC is listening, the DNC is still in the tank.

Comment by Salo | 2008-04-21 13:35:07

I wouldn’t go that far. As i see it it is a political problem. One that should have been aggressively pursued by the press in december.

Voters in Iowa should have had this information beamed into their sleepy state and openly discussed.

 

Comment by Kourian | 2008-04-21 13:40:15

Daley’s behind Obama. This is unusual for the dynasty. The reason is there is an excellent candidate for mayor who wants to gut out all the corruption and the dynasty have their collective butts against the wall.

So Obama did a deal with Dirty Daley. They spent several weeks hacking out the details. This much is well documented. Obama at Daley’s offices a couple of times every week IIRC. Suddenly Obama endorses not the reform candidate everyone reckons he has to support but the fetid Daley. And he goes on to shower the pig with accolades of how he’s everything the reform candidate is and more.

Part of the ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ is obviously that Dirty Dick continues to spew the BS as needed. As much of course wee Barry when called on. Politics: a profession of ultimate responsibility. ;)

Comment by simon, too | 2008-04-21 13:46:31

You know, the Dad, Dick Sr, was not a traitor.

The boys, though, esp. dealing with Rezko, and Auchi, are a different story.

 

Comment by workingclass artist | 2008-04-21 15:47:49

Daly is scared…..They are all a little freaked out….In my humble opinion.

 

Comment by jmk | 2008-04-21 17:37:43

Don’t forget Obamanites fav.strategy of intimidation. Crazy other minister from South Side (friend of bo’s) constantly threatens the city with mass mayhem and blames all whites (including the Mayor) for every problem angry blacks have ever had (never their own fault, of course.) Fox report today: after crime being down in Chicago all last year, this last week the violence rate suddenly soared.

I’m from Chicago, worked to clean dirty politics there long ago. Don’t believe Daley WANTS to support bo - do see that he, like so many, is being forcibly intimidated. If you were the proud mayor of a better-run-than-many city - and you had a hometown candidate who, with his pal, Rezko, bilked your city for MILLIONS in misguided city approved fraud real estate deals (including a hospital that never happened) which bo pushed through as “sound investments), do you think you would really like bo a lot?

Daily doesn’t like being made a fool, but he likes even less the prospect of Black Panther riots bloodying the city streets.

 

Comment by ritamary | 2008-04-21 17:43:15

Many Chicago politicians have connections to Tony Rezko and also the current governor of Illinois does too. What could be better for them than a bought-and-paid-for Democratic president who could work some magic with the federal prosecutor in the Rezko trial? Like fire Patrick FitzGerald come January and put a much nicer, friendlier Democratic federal prosecutor in his place.

And let’s not forget that Michelle Obama worked in Mayor Daley’s office as his assistant, and her father was a precinct captain. Of course Mayor Daley is going to defend Obama. It is the Chicago way. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.

Comment by simon, too | 2008-04-21 17:50:20

That’s what I thought to, but I thought to myself it was so outlandish, NO ONE could think like that, putting Obama in just to fire Fitzpatrick, in part.

But Rove already tried it, so maybe not so outlandish, at all.

And I’ve been getting glimpses over the last couple of days that Obama really thought a run for the White House would be as easy as his run for the Senate, Clinton and McCain as Keys.

See how stupid they are?

 
 
 
 

Comment by PMS | 2008-04-21 13:04:35

One can only draw one of two conclusions about Barack Hussein Obama:

He is either,

1) A very poor judge of character, whose overall sense of judgment is clearly lacking, or…

2) Someone who shares the “hate America” ideologies of those he has been associated with for over two decades.

I prefer to believe it is Number One, but Number Two is looking less and less like an unreasonable assumption.

Comment by Kourian | 2008-04-21 13:46:06

The short story: Barry’s had it too easy and too good. He was born with an ebony spoon in his mouth. He’s had privilege everywhere. He’s never really had to work at anything. And he really thinks everything is that easy and people are that stupid.

He’s a teenager who never grew up. He really doesn’t get it. He tries the same cheap style of backpedaling all the time because he really doesn’t get it.

He’s lacking a few things Hill has in spades. Such as experience and honesty and good will. Hill OTOH is lacking only one thing Barry has. Being a spoiled brat.

In the perfect world spoiled brats always get their comeuppance. Bring the popcorn. ;)

Comment by simon, too | 2008-04-21 13:49:02

Barry also thinks he’s the center of the universe, because his head is only wrapped around Barry.

Not much scope of thought, there, at all…

 
 

Comment by TeakwoodKite | 2008-04-21 14:11:27

All of the above, PMS.

How polluted can BO be with 20 years of politically questionable associations? I believe “the journey to the darkside is complete”.

Fascistic Socialism; with one part mother Russia, a hint of Hugo Chavez and the essence of Auchi is in the works. BO would never dream to be honest and tell you, all the time he was at Columbia and Harvard he was sucking on the Marxist pipe and has not changed. The money behind him is going to be punked. He learned this scam from Rezko.

Comment by Angela | 2008-04-21 14:48:09

…a hint of Hugo Chavez…

OMG! I can tell you from personally knowing a middle class Venezuelan family that those folks are EXTREMELY UPSET that they were duped by that *&(%$^. They have NOT given up on getting rid of him, either.

I will say it not a kitchen fit to cook in.

Comment by Angela | 2008-04-21 20:48:30

TeakwoodKite, they still have a kitchen…just nothing much to cook in it because prices have skyrocketed. He wants to blame the businesses and say they are hoarding commodities instead of admitting that his policies have had such a negative impact on everybody.

He’s constantly threatening to take over whatever business whether it’s the press, food providers, etc. if they don’t “perform and behave” they way he thinks they should.

Comment by Donald from Hawaii | 2008-04-21 13:14:18

Our own public arguments are ultimately undermined when we demonize with the word “hate” those fellow Americans whose respective visions of our country differ markedly and substantively from our own. Certainly, we can agree to disagree with them, even vehemently, without coarsening the public debate to base levels through the gratuitous use of such polarizing rhetoric.

Comment by stodghie | 2008-04-21 13:24:19

sorry, i don’t take well to folks telling me what i think is bull. so please tsk, tsk somewhere else. obama wants to be president of this country. i have no problem with groups backing a representative or senator. his vote will be marginalized if he is off the rails. but i won’t be silent and politically correct to suit you. this is my country and i won’t be sweet and nice about it. ok!

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-04-21 13:46:59

Donald — “coarsening the public debate to base levels through the gratuitous use of such polarizing rhetoric.”

Know what really coarsens things, Donald? Bombs — you know, like the ones Ayres and his fellow terrorists used. One can reasonably infer that a person who has used violence in the past and still maintains he has no regret except that they didn’t “do more” does actually hate this country.

If you are so aghast at the language on this blog and believe we are demonizing Obama and his associates, I suggest you heavily medicate before going to any of the pro-Obama blogs; that is, unless you are one of those who apply a different standard to language used about Clinton — no lie too big, no language too filthy, no insult too outrageous or offensive.

 

Comment by Kourian | 2008-04-21 13:49:24

There’s an even more clever thing we can do. After carefully obfuscating our intentions we can try to bamboozle well intentioned people with an abuse of polysyllabic words that really aren’t there to impress as much as to just get people defused. It’s sort of a lame tactic and it has a long history of making its proponents look like utter wimps.

Donald,

If you are genuinely that naive, or have been inhabiting another planet for the past 6 months, then I can forgive you for trying make make what is happening as if it were “just politics”.

This is exactly what you are attemtping to do when you write:

whose respective visions of our country differ markedly and substantively from our own.

This is about much more than anything resembling a vision (nightmare is more accurate).

Many of us have found enough information to KNOW that Obama is the Manchurian Candidate who will grieviouly harm America - in fact END America as it has been for over 238 years.

Order the book, “Obama, The Postmodern Coup”, which sumarizes what we have been digging up for months and months. You can buy the book by clicking at the ad to the right of this post.

If your just a sweet talking troll - well don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Yes we are angry at being played. I personally won’t be a happy camper until Obama and his closest associates are decked out in orange jumpsuits, and safely esconed in a maximum security Federal Prison for life for the “Audacity of Treason” they have so carefully planned.

 

Comment by ritamary | 2008-04-21 17:55:46

If you want polarizing rhetoric, go to Obamington Post and you will see polarizing rhetoric. Or tune in to the corporate media like MSNBC, or listen to Air Obamica. It is the Obamabots’ polarizing rhetoric that sent many of us to Hillary’s camp. What is said on this site is polite and friendly, comparatively speaking.

 
 

Comment by Arabella Trefoil | 2008-04-21 13:30:53

I know hatred when I see it. Obama and his minions have waged a campaign against Hillary Clinton like nothing I’ve ever seen before. What I’ve seen on the blogosphere is pure, unreasoned, unthining hatred towards Senator Clinton and towards anyone who supports her.

The thing speaks for itself.

reply to Arabella Trefoil :

You are 100% correct..thank you and I too know hatred when I see it..and the Obamabrats are the most hateful I have seen since the early days of Bushbots and sheeple..and I will not stand for it..

I no longer go to any of the blogs and web sites I have frequented since 9/11 because of the unadulterated hatred by the obamabots..and I am not a Hillary supporter, I have been and continue to be a Edwards supporter, but I TOO have been attacked viciously..and I will not take their hatred and bullshit another minute longer!

iF HAWAII GUY WANTS TO DISCUSS HATRED, HE MIGHT WANT TO START WITH THE ORIGNINATORS OF ALL THIS HATRED..THE OBAMABRATS! OH AND ALL OF OBAMA’S ASSOCIATES AND FRIENDS.

Andrew McCarthy is a right-wing pig who writes fascist propaganda for the National Review, and casually associates all Democrats with terrorists all the time. If No Quarter is a truly progressive site, they should be debunking his attacks, not praising them.

“Hell all he is saying is what we have all been thinking for months.”

Then you should question your relationship with the Democratic Party, and why you would even want the Bush years to end in the first place.

Comment by grtphoto | 2008-04-21 13:42:54

wanting bush to stay in power is intellectually dishonest jump and you know it. just b/c we agree with a rightie who did his homework on a fellow dem means we should question who WE are? absurd. i question the dem party for their unyielding support of a very distructive candidate that they won’t tell the truth about!

Comment by Jeff | 2008-04-21 13:46:13

“just b/c we agree with a rightie who did his homework on a fellow dem means we should question who WE are?”

Yes. If you find yourself praising a neoconservative fanatic like Andrew C. McCarthy, simply because he happens to share your dislike for Obama, you should seriously evaluate your priorities. I don’t praise Rush Limbaugh when he says horrible things about Hillary Clinton, just because I’m not supporting her in the primary. Think about it.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-04-21 13:52:44

It is Obama who praises republicans, not us. And just because we wish to end the debacle of Bush’s presidency does not mean we wish to begin what would be an equally bad reign of the Obamessiah.

Comment by Jeff | 2008-04-21 13:58:43

“It is Obama who praises republicans, not us.”

That’s funny–I’ve seen about a 9-1 ratio of posters here who not only praise Sean Hannity on a daily basis, but swear they will be voting for McCain in November.

Comment by Uppity Woman | 2008-04-21 14:07:45

You would be praising FOX too if your candidate caused a “tingling” in the legs of CNN and MSNC, who incidentally, should all be indicted for controlling what news and what information about their Jesus is revealed to the public.

We are embarking on another McGovern train crash. It’s not just about Obama’s interesting foreign affiliations. It’s about his rabid followers who drove the rest of us to this board, where now you follow us to piss us off and turn us against him even more.

There isn’t ANYONE I wouldn’t vote for instead of Barack Obama.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-04-21 14:27:12

Please stick to the truth. Recognizing that Sean Hannity has been more truthful about Obama than the MSM is hardly praising him.

And if Obama gets the nomination, I will be voting for McCain (unless he picks someone like Huckabee for VP). As I have said before, I believe McCain, Obama and Bush to be pretty much the same; McCain, however, unlike Bush and Obama, has demonstrated the ability to put the welfare of his fellow POWs ahead of his own self-interest. Obama has befriended and profited from his alliance with a person who used violence in an attempt to bring down this country’s government.

Hillary is the only candidate left in the race who has both the capacity and desire to even begin to improve things for everyone.

 
 
 

Comment by Andy | 2008-04-21 13:53:25

Well, Jeff I would say you have a very weak capacity to have an argument if you are unable to listen to people you do not agree with in general and recognize that sometimes they are right. It doesn’t mean you become a fan of the neo-conservative but that you have the mind and intelligence of viewing sometimes the facts for what they are and recognize them as such.

Jeff: let’s leave McCarthy aside and let me ask you what are your views on Obama’s associations with Khalidi, Dohrn and Ayers; as well as with Wright (for 20 years).

Here, give me your analysis.

Comment by Salo | 2008-04-21 14:03:47

it’s nothing. these are not the issues you looking for….move along…nothing to see.

 

Comment by Jeff | 2008-04-21 14:10:10

“Jeff: let’s leave McCarthy aside and let me ask you what are your views on Obama’s associations with Khalidi, Dohrn and Ayers; as well as with Wright (for 20 years).”

By all means. As far as Khalidi, I believe Obama sat on the board of a group that donated a small amount of money to Khalidi’s group, which has made some anti-Israel statements in the past. Hillary Clinton kissed Sufa Arafat in the run-up to her Senate campaign. Neither Obama nor Clinton are responsible for the actions of either of these people.

Same goes for the Ayers and Wright nonsense. These 2nd-degree, 3rd degree, 4th degree guilt-by-associate tactics are despicable and pathetic. It is the reason I am an Obama supporter, because his campaign is doing its best to rise above them. We cannot win by adopting and embracing the tactics of the far right. Hillary says we have no choice. That’s why she’s already lost. People need to be inspired, not told that they have no choice but to demean themselves with this bile.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-04-21 14:47:51

“We cannot win by adopting and embracing the tactics of the far right.”

Obama is copying the campaign of George W. Bush right down to the “uniter” and “change” slogans. Axelrod is so similar to Karl Rove I honestly think they might be the same person. So, I hope you are right, and Obama’s right-wing tactics prove unsuccessful.

I have seen a lot of campaigns, and I expect politicians to be fairly hypocritical and egotistical and to fight hard to win; but Obama has run the dirtiest campaign I have ever seen. At the beginning of this campaign, I would have been happy with Clinton, Edwards or Obama as our candidate. But when Obama started portraying the Clintons (as well as anyone who did not vote for him) as racists, he lost my vote forever.

And I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about when you say Hillary says we have no choice. I will say, however, that there is no real choice other than her in this election. A vote for Obama is a vote for four more years of Bush-type governance. McCain might be slightly better; but Hillary is the only candidate left in the race that has both the capacity and desire to lead this country out of the horror Bush has brought us to.

Comment by Jeff | 2008-04-21 14:16:17

Ed Rendell praised Farrakhan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXum_-8I1TA

I’ll wait patiently for both the denunciations, and of course, the rejections.

Comment by MessyMarcy | 2008-04-21 15:30:46

Just how desperate are you Obamabots?

Actually Ed Rendell seemed to be praising someone named Rodney Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. He only mentioned Farrakhan himself in passing. Also, while Rendell was quite flowery in his praise of the efforts of NOI to fight drug abuse and their appreciation of the value of education, he stressed the importance of communicating with people with whom you have differences and how this would help combat racism. What part of that do you find so objectionable that you are attempting to use it as a gotcha moment?

Are you attempting to say that because Rendell supports Hillary and once gave a speech to a group of Nation of Islam members, that Hillary is connected to Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam? Couldn’t you work Kevin Bacon in anywhere?

Or is this just one of those but, but, but Hillary . . . arguments? It reminds me of the way the press used to report on campaign contributions. Gigantor Oil Company could contribute $5 million to republicans and $5 to democrats, and the press would present the story as “both parties accept contributions from Gigantor Oil. In your argument, you are attempting to equate Hillary having a supporter who gives a speech to one group and praises them for activities that have nothing to do with terrorism and Obama having close ties to an unrepentant terrorist who has contributed to the campaign and held functions in behalf of Obama. That’s not even a good try. I demand a better quality troll.

Comment by Jeff | 2008-04-21 16:26:27

Just imagine if Obama had given Rendell’s speech. Career. Over.

Which differs from Wright.

But nice try.

How they hanging?

 

Comment by Andy | 2008-04-21 16:50:02

Jeff:

Do you have a hearing disorder?

Rendell does not praise Farrakhan at all there: he says “in my letter to Farrakhan….” that’s the only mention o Farrahan in the clip. He does praise the NOI work on drugs in their communities. So?

Oh don’t even try that bull on me. I was a Democrat before you were even born. I just happen to recognize bullshit when I see it. Furthermore, the obama camp is not Democratic and it’s not Progressive at all. Marxism comes to mind instead.

Real Progressives aren’t sexist. In fact, real progressives are feminists.

Real Progressives aren’t racial separatists either.

And one thing I know for certain is Real Democrats don’t hang out with people who have nothing good to say about America–ever.

I submit that you are not a real democrat.

I also submit that four years of the Old Man is a lull next to four years of Barack Obama, Rashid Khalidi, Zbigniew Brezinski, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and Hamas.

By the way, do you know that Barry has a cold call center located in Gaza City? That’s right. They are cold calling Americans before Primary Day to encourage them to vote for Obama. Now if that doesn’t scare you, then you are definitely confused as to which type of government you prefer to enjoy in America.

Progressive is a meaningless term invented to dodge the title of liberal.

i’m a Social Democrat. Euro style.

“I was a Democrat before you were even born.”

Sorry, you don’t know when I was born.

“Furthermore, the obama camp is not Democratic and it’s not Progressive at all. Marxism comes to mind instead.”

Well, now you’ve moved from Andrew C. McCarthy to Bill Kristol. Who’s next: Michael Savage? Do you ever bother to parrot progressive pundits, or is all just the right-wing fringe?

“Real Progressives aren’t sexist. In fact, real progressives are feminists.”

I agree. That doesn’t mean I’m required to vote for the woman every time she’s on the ballot. If that was the case, Liddy Dole would be president.

“Real Progressives aren’t racial separatists either.”

That’s correct. But neither myself, nor the majority of Democratic primary/caucus voters accept your guilt-by-association w/regards to BO.

“And one thing I know for certain is Real Democrats don’t hang out with people who have nothing good to say about America–ever.”

I guess Bruce Springsteen hates America, too. I’ll let him know.

“I submit that you are not a real democrat.”

That will be news to the NYC Electoral Commission’s records.

“By the way, do you know that Barry has a cold call center located in Gaza City?.”

OK, I’ll take the bait. Link, please?

Sorry, you don’t know when I was born.

It’s pretty easy for me to see that you weren’t around when that asshole Ayers nearly destroyed America. If you were, you would be offended too. And afraid. VERY afraid.

Obama is not a democrat, Jeff. He is an axelrod media creation. He took his rallies straight out of the Hitler youth Movement play book. I recognized him right off. He is a Pakistani sponsored sham. Over in Pakistan they set women on fire. SO you can understand why I have a strong feeling against this pig. I also do not want to change my government from a democracy to a Marxist society, thanks anyhow. He is also a liar and if I were suspicious I would see him as leland gaunt. He collected millions of bundled money from lobbyists. Five of his top ten contributors are sub prime lenders. He indeed does take money from BIG oil. He just gets it from their wives. Do you really think that he got all his money from guys like you? When he got caught in California with that fine Pakistani pig raising money for him, this didn’t bother you? Toss in the names of his friends and that still doesn’t bother you? It should.

Here’s your link. Next time do your own homework though OK?

One more thing: Everything about Obama tells me he doesn’t intend to end the war at all. He just plans on reversing the direction of the guns.

“It’s pretty easy for me to see that you weren’t around when that asshole Ayers nearly destroyed America.”

OK, so Obama’s a far-left wing anarchist. Got it.

“He is an axelrod media creation.”

Oh, so he’s an empty suit, a puppet of Axelrod’s, w/no core convictions? Thought he was a far left anarchist, like Ayers? Well, OK…

“He took his rallies straight out of the Hitler youth Movement play book.”

Wait, now he’s a Nazi? A mixed Kenyan-Kansan from Hawai, turned community organizer in Chicago, turned U.S. Senator, is a Nazi? And what happened to anarchist/puppet?

“He is a Pakistani sponsored sham.”

Man, this is seriously convoluted. Now he’s an left-wing anarchist puppet Nazi Jihadist? You realize you’ve changed his motives 4 times in your last 9 sentences?

“I also do not want to change my government from a democracy to a Marxist society, thanks anyhow.”

It just keeps on rolling, doesn’t it Uppity?

“He is also a liar and if I were suspicious I would see him as leland gaunt.”

Oh MY GOD–you just compared him to the Devil in Needful Things? Stephen King, now?

Are there any evils you haven’t aligned him with? What about pedophiles? Is that next?

Barack Obama: the left-wing anarchist/puppet/Nazi/Jihadist/Marxist/Devil. Or, as I like to call him, the next President of the United States.

Leland Gaunt handed out things to people. They believed they were things they weren’t. That about wraps it up.

I draw a correlation to Something Wicked This Way Comes as well.

No he’s not a nazi. His creator is just very clever and knows what worked on hooking kids. Chanting, hooting Rallies. Repeated phrases of little substance but very catchy. Get him to follow you and they will do anything for you.

No I don’t imagine he’s a pedo either. But if her were, you Obamazoids would make it ok.

Have you ever read Barack’s Daddy’s Barak’s government writings? Obama is quite fond of them.

Jeff,

Who do you think is the stupidest man to bomb the Pentagon, of the terrorists?

I can’t decide of it’s Ayers crew, or, um, Osama’s.

Really, they just don’t SEE the United States Pentagon, do they?

My guess would be yesterday if you’re supporting Obama.

One of the seven dems should have cross examined Obama before Iowa on the subject of Wright and Ayers and Rezko. All the info and Oppo on Obama was well known among all the candidates.

The debate moderators were not shy asking Dennis about UFOs, Edwards about haircuts, Clinton about pantsuits or Biden about gaffe machines.

What about the radical cocktail weenie set in Chicago Mr Obama? we knwo the GOP will slap you silly with it…so please explicate a little about Wild Bill and Tony the Tiger?

 

Comment by simon, too | 2008-04-21 13:57:01

Oh, THIS is the next level of attack for the K$$ crew.

How sad.

You really don’t get it, do you?

Remember, K$$, Ayers, and Obama are really in search of a scrotum.

All of your trolling and “bamboozling,” all of your behavior, your hatred, and such, stems from this one fact.

And your enemies know this about you, psychologically, cutting through the projection.

Don’t lose sight, a silicone scrotum is just that, you can tell by the way it moves, ask Joe from Chicago.

Get it now, or do I need to explain it a little more?

Doesn’t AC DC have a song called “big balls?”

Sing with me now:

“Who got big balls?”

Answer: not you.

That Jeff, is an activity that should be done with ANY entity in “relation to one self” as tenant of critical thinking.

All things pass, even the Bush years, I am NOT willing to trade on rope around my neck made from lies for another.

Andrew McCarthy was the federal prosecutor responsible for leading the investigation of Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and others involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing .

You or I might not like his politics or what school he sends his kids to , but how FRAKKIN dare you call this man a pig. He served his nation with honor.

You have no respect, no honor, no integrity, no common sense, no critical thinking skills, and no shame.
What about the first attack on the World Trade towers don’t you get?

Comment by simon, too | 2008-04-21 15:41:58

Jeff doesn’t get the whole thing, he can’t see the image as a gestalt, or even as a Monet, forget Pointillism.

He sees a million different dots, and none combine in his little head to form a picture.

Really, different people have different capacities for understanding and deciphering an image, it’s what we call intellect, in part.

The ability to push a button from a pre written script to google bomb is only impressive in the eyes of those who LOSE wars, not those who win.

But, you know, anything to feel validated, anything for dad’s approval.

Jeff doesn’t have a clue, jeff really doesn’t have a fucking clue.

What’s real, what’s not?

“Jeff doesn’t get the whole thing, he can’t see the image as a gestalt, or even as a Monet, forget Pointillism.”
