Overt, Not Covert
By Larry Johnson on May 9, 2008 at 7:10 PM in Current Affairs
Some coward, who blogs under the name, Rising Hegemon (and no, I’m not even going to link to the asshole), issued a challenge to me based on a report from the McClatchy news service. Hegemon writes :
And who are these smear artists…and suddenly I wonder if retired CIA clandestine officer Larry Johnson of “No Quarter” would like to categorically deny this is him, not saying it is…but the description leads one to wonder:
Well here is your answer. I am not a chickenshit like you. I am not hiding behind a false name. I put my real name and my actual picture on my blog. I do not have to pretend to be somebody else. And I have the guts to stand up for what I believe. You, Hegemon, are a coward and spineless wonder. You like to pretend to be tough and “out there” but you lack the balls to write under your real name. But this is typical of Obama propagandists and supporters.
They are so stupid and inexperienced that they will accept any nonsense as fact. Sure explains why they are backing Barack. Yesterday, the McClatchy news service did a piece on “Obama rumors.” The McClatchy dispatch includes this tidbit about a harebrained scheme by some anonymous “CIA operative:”
One practitioner in Virginia, who hates Obama like a dog hates cats, led a reporter through his efforts. Because the man is a retired clandestine CIA officer, identifying him could endanger officers or operations that remain classified, so McClatchy will not reveal his name.
In late 2006, convinced that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for America, he decided to start an anti-Obama operation. He combed the public record on Obama. He used a couple of allies and informants — half-jokingly dubbing his group “The Crusaders” — to learn about Obama’s background, especially his Africa connection and how he came to be the editor of the Harvard Law Review.
He assembled a dossier on Obama, including allegations that Obama attended a madrassa, or Islamic religious school, in his youth in Indonesia.
I would like to know who this alleged CIA operative is. He gives new meaning to the term, inept. For starters, we do not have to invent fantasies or frauds about Obama. Let’s stick to the truth. In fact, the hallmark of effective CIA “covert action” efforts is based on truth, not lies. But the Barack disciples do not understand even this basic point. Bill Ayers is not a figment of my imagination. Jeremiah Wright is not a media creation. Tony Rezko is not some character from a novel. Barack’s relationships with these people are fair game and merit serious examination. If his judgment is so flawed that he does not recognize the dangers inherent in associating with these kinds of people, on what basis are we to trust him to suddenly grow a brain if he becomes president? Ain’t going to happen.
Be assured of one thing. If I have an opinion on a matter I have the courage to speak my mind in my name. And wimps like Hegemon can kiss my ass.
The Obama supporters are so stupid. Give them hell Larry. Go Hillary!
Larry Johnson is awesome.
Keep on truckin’
Yay, Larry!
Hit ‘em hard & hit ‘em often!
MACHO MACHO MAN
I WANNA BE A MACHO MAN!
Respectfully, what are you all going to do when she concedes? Vote for McCain?
And kiss Roe v Wade goodbye? Ha!!!!
I dont think she will concede, and she shouldn’t she is RIGHT there in numbers, despite the koolaid stand you opened this week.
Actually, we’ve always had control of the Bamster, it will just be a matter of fucking with him.
/snark…
Some more.
yes, you bet I’m voting for McCain and every other republican out there I can find! The DNC’s lack of leadership is appalling and I for one will not allow 3 million MI and Fl voters to be silenced without exerting some form of retribution. As for kissing roe v wade goodbye, well let me tell you, it’s better than kissing our country, the US of A, goodbye to militant islamic groups, the groups your precious, corrupt BO and his terrorist sympathizing advisors and funders love to coddle. I hope you Obamatots grow up and understand that the campaign between Hillary and BO is NOT a popularity contest. This is a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE!
campaign between Hillary and BO is NOT a popularity contest. This is a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE!
Sorry I thought it was a DELEGATE CONTEST My apologies !!!!!
this is why i switched from obama to clinton this week. you simply do not get it. and obama supporters are out of touch with the middle class.
hillary clinton has been cooking macaroni and cheese and push-mowing her lawn for DECADES and she ain’t about to be called a hundred-millionaire by no nobody, ’special not some fancy ivy-league lawyer. she’s in touch.
Oh geez, another dead animal act!
When are they going to send in the clowns???
Thanks for the laugh — you have a way with words!
Which explains why you’re voting for Obama.
Cheney likes a guy who thinks like you, too.
This is a “National Security issue!” and you’re supporting OBAMA???!!@#$% Are you kidding me? Do you really know what you just said? Do you have any CLUE who you’re supporting? Rezko, Ayers, Auchi, Said….Google is your friend. USE IT!
It’s a Kennedy dreamt up coup to counter Clinton’s powers as fund raisers and heads of the party.
Clintons have been in charge of all heavy fundraising and power. Obama was their ticket to topple the Clintons. Unfortunately Clinton’s campaign suffered setbacks, old fashioned fund raising, and other issues allowed Obama to win big in Iowa and gain momentum which allowed all the super els to move to Obama. Richardson,Dodd and the rest likewise.
Even if buyers remorse has set into some Supers, Kerry [the ass] has concluded that
Obama can do as well as he did in ‘04!! Imagine.
And Black Caucus has put the Party in a corner. Any challenging question will continue to be labelled “racist”, and the
MSM will continue to coddle their Precious.
Will I vote for Obama? No.
Given the cheating witnessed in other caucuses, this “win” is also suspect.
Perhaps Obama didn’t win Iowa, at all.
Probably he didn’t win.
After my experience watching the Obama machine in WA State — I expect that Obama BOUGHT every single precinct chairman.
There is no way that caucus should be allowed in any future Primary vote — or hell all caucus votes should be challenged THIS TIME.
Caucuses should NOT be allowed to determine something as important as the democratic Prez nominee.
it is rather amusing and has a certain back at ya that the group who will defeat obama are the very groups in the “old” democratic party he has been dissing. there are many now in this ever growing group of people thrown under the bus. revenge is better served cold in november.
stodgie — I am looking forward to my new registration as a Republican. Course I will never read their literature or I will throw up.
i am a registered independent and will now remain that way. i had considered registration as a democrat but now?
You guys are really out of your fucking minds. lol lol lol. I’m cracking up at the plain ignorance that you spout. lol lol. I guess it’s the losers lament or emotions or something like that. I certainly hope that’s what it is. Otherwise you are the most ignorant people on the face of the earth and Obama doesn’t WANT your vote. lol lol lol
No worries my man. He’s good without us right? Sewn up. Made in the Shade. Got it handled. Elected and sworn in.
No worries?
What the fuck you doing here?
Just seeing how the other half lives. lol
ok… I would not be so quick to dismiss the caucus problems.
BTW, the “other half” are not powerless AAs freezing in substandard housing in Obama’s district. We will not be as forgiving.
Whoa, this is pretty sad. An Obamamite who is just as ignorant to history as I have imagined them to be. An example….. It is a right of passage to be a Democrat, and to loose badly on your first passion.
Get used to it… Democrats have been losers in most of the past 40 years.
Only Bill Clinton has beaten them and has prevailed. He is the only one. ( Carter was a one term and a loser)
I think Obama will be a wonderful lesson to the newly installed Dems who are voting for the very first time.
Like a virgin and get used to it.
Democrats loose more often than win.
Obama is sure loser.
Be glad and rejoice in your experience learning. Get used to loosing…..cause Obama is a sure looser.
i thought you promised you’d only use this computer for email, dad.
he did, and god damn, if he didn’t gain control of the world.
And control of you, too.
You’d be surprised how many of them spend their LIVES trying to prove a negative.
Maybe but we’ll get the opportunity. And it’s lose not loose, losing not loosing. lol
Oh, please. You used the word “hear”, in responding to another comment. The correct word would have been “here”.
liar.. lol lol
That wasn’t my handwriting. lol lol we are having fun!!
Well, knowing how to spell ‘lose’ is a very important talent for a Democrat. Glad you’ve mastered it.
onmomnaturesside, you are SOOO right, if your a Dem get used to losing.
My first Presidential election was 1980 - yep, lost. ‘84 - shellacking! ouch, ‘88 - almost as bad as ‘84, ‘92 - BILL!!!!, ‘96 - BILL!!!!, ‘00 - George stole it and Al let him, ‘04 - loser.
I was so looking forward to this year, thought there was no way we’d lose it — ONLY the Democrats could screw it up like this. My entire adult life the ONLY time I’ve voted for the winner was Clinton. I remember when he won in ‘92 and something like a dozen Democratic women were elected to the Senate that night as well. GOD IT FELT GOOD TO WIN.
That’s why the Dem elite hate them so much, they’re the only winners we’ve had in THIRTY YEARS! I truly believe that Bill Clinton will be the LAST Democratic President — for some strange reason Dems don’t like to win.
The elite repubs are so jealous of the Clintons. They can’t stand the fact that two people came out of Arkansas and took the country by storm. The two of them are loved all over the world and Kennedy, Kerry, etc. are so jealous they can’t stand it.
So we lose again and they don’t care. Just as long as it isn’t a Clinton. I want all of them to be gone and I want my party back.
Fine then ,zzznot, I won’t give it to him.
Too late beatmeat it’s not for you to give. Think highly of ourselves don’t we?
My vote is not mine to give, zzznot?
Your vote yes.. the nomination..no
I didn’t say anything about giving the nomination to anybody. But then you hear or read what you want to, don’t you?
dipsxxx, we know obama doesn’t want our vote but you are too darn stupid to know he doesn’t give a happy daxx about you either.
I know Obama doesn’t want our votes but boy will he be begging for them. Right now he thinks that his Republican crossovers and fickle young voters are going to replace the Democratic Base. He also wants to ditch the 30% Hispanic Voters who the Dems have been trying to get for years. Obama has painted himself into a corner now that he has become the AA candidate. Every word that every Obama supporters says is going to be challenged by the AA police. I am getting out of the party before it becomes a zoo. God I hope zoo is politically correct. One doesn’t know these days.
i feared that a major backlash would take place and it is starting. not even the msm can ignore what is going to happen. there are elements when set loose that can’t be put back in the box. obama and axelrod set them loose and karma has a way of finding the guilty parties.
Can’t say ‘zoo’ that’s on the list!! Like monkey, can’t say monkey — that’s on the list — you’ll be fined!!
I always say that all McCain has to do to win is say vote for him, unless you want to have a ‘conversation’ about ‘race in America’ for the next 4 years — all day, every day for 4 F@#KING YEARS!!!
If we did it would’nt be Obama’s fault. Hill and Bill brought it up when they were getting their asses kicked. Up until SC it was a non-issue. Funny how when SHE’s down and out theirs a race issue ie SC ie today. Pitiful.
zzznot, we’ve been through the Jesse Jackson crap before…so I for one am not taking the bait again.
If you are a thinking individual and not a closet classist/racist then you know that saying the name Jesse Jackson is not a racial slur. If you believe it is there is little I or anyone else can do to dissuage you of your belief.
Street-charade you’re just being a simpleton if you think that’s all Bill did. Utter JJ and everyone shouts racist? I’ll tell you again what I believe. JJ was never a serious Presidential candidate because he couldn’t get the white vote. He was always the “black candidate” Everyone knows this, Bill knew it when he made his comments basically equivocating Obama with JJ. TRYING to make him the “black candidate”. Well surprixe here we are again and Hill still making that argument even today. Pitiful.
What, that she get’s more of the white vote? Well she does. And he gets virtually all of the African American vote? Well he does. By the way, she also gets much MORE of the Latino and Asian-American vote than she does of European-Americans — what does that mean? (I wanted a hyphen too, I’m tired of being called just plain old white, so I’m now a European-American.) Those are facts, not racism.
But people can jump up and down all they want, it won’t matter in November. The Rethugs don’t care if you call them racist — only Democrats care about that.
Why is it when you describe the AA vote as the “black vote” that isn’t racist. Someone says “white vote” and you are screaming race all over the place. I am sick of it and I won’t vote for Obama because I am sick of his organization hollaring “racist.” You don’t have a clue what I or anyone else feels let alone whether we are racists. What the hell do you want us to call the “white vote.”
zzzot - what a load of CRAP! keep downing that cherry barry kool-aid. you’re going to need pitchers of it when the republican attack machine revs up. BO’s campaign has race baited since day!
day one!
“Black politicians less gifted than Harold discovered what white politicians had known for a very long time: that race-baiting could make up for a host of limitiations.”-Barack Obama, Dreams of my Father
Another child brought up on the new math!
You probably believe in Santa Claus, too.
It’s a numbers game chump and you won’t beat it.
So Beat It!
(cue Michael Jackson song)
Johnny Mathis and Niecy Wiiliams:
Guess it’s over, call it a day
Sorry that it had to end this way
No reason to pretend
We knew it had to end some day, this way
Yes, it’s over, Hill is done
What’s the use of tryin’ to hang on?
Somewhere you lost the key
So little left for you and she and it’s clear to see
Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you
Too much, too little, too late to try again with you
We’re in the middle of ending something that we knew
It’s over
Oh, it was over
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let’s end it being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end
Ah, it’s over
It’s over
Yes, it’s over, the chips are down
Nearly all our bridges tumbled down
Whatever chance we try, let’s face it why deny
It’s over (It’s over)
It’s over
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let’s end it being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end
And it’s over
And it’s over
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again
Too much, too little, too late, let’s end it being friends
lol lol lol
It’s not over ’till the fat super delegate chooses.
lol Which one is he.. he must be from NY. That fat delegate sings on the 20th.
You are cracking up, period.
Take a hike asshole. I guess you’re not invited to the wedding in Crawford today where you would see for yourself that there are no militant Islamist groups. They are just friends of the Bush family and other republicans and helping them push the fear factor on American citizens, particularly gullible ones like yourself.
Get a grip. If you think Barack Obama will stand up to the conservatives and fight for Roe, you are going to be sorely disappointed. He’ll cave, cave, cave. He stands for nothing.
I am not a wizzard, and can’t predict the future like some here. What I do know is that your beloved McCain said that he will mane “Strict Constructionistfor the bench. Lets see what the feminists will do when they see all the work for the last 30 are tossed down the toilet and then flush it straight to the swer.
JUst a wild guess
Time to go. Byeeee.
Hey, crud del sewer, thought you were going bye-bye. Back to the great orange urinal?
If you give me your address, I will find the urinal in no time.
It’s in your refrigerator.
Then let me pull it out of your ass.
Shes’ right, absolutely, he will pander, it’s only a matter of who is Cheney is…Wright? Axelrod? Ayers?
Interesting.
I can’t wait to see Roe v. Wade overturned. Maybe then you 20 something Obamarhoids will see fit to fight for your rights. I’m not fighting for you losers ever again. I’m finished. I don’t have to cae anymore, so I don’t. You dug your grave. Deal with it.
correction = I don’t have to CARE anymore.
I feel that way too. I don’t care anymore. I won’t march any more for anything. I don’t have to write any checks again to a Democrat…except Hillary. I am long past having babies and even my kids are just about at that point. War, you will have nominated two fools and you obama fools will all get what you deserve. I have mine now. If things get that bad I have enough to leave this country and start over. I have no passion left to fight all the fools who believe in Hype and Small change. The people have been suckered and they must be punished for being so damn dumb. A fool and their rights are soon parted. Believe…at your peril…in hope and change and Obama. If it weren’t so pathetic it would be laughable.
Good for you Alibe. I’m glad some Americans are seeing the light like I did back in 2000 when I left the country and haven’t been back since. Of course, at the time I left, I had been living in Austin, Texas for ten years with idiot Bush as governor. I guess not being a native Texan but being one of Bush’s constituents is what gave me the heads up. If all non-native Texans had had my experience, I’d venture to say even more of the smart people would have already departed for greener pastures by now.
On the plus side, it’s a great start-up bizness…BackAlleyAbortionsRUs.
yeah, these young women swooning for obama don’t have a clue what real discrimination is. geez it is bad enough with how hillary has been treated. those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. i don’t feel sorry for them either.
Hope Obama isn’t like his cousin Odingo who will be visiting this summer from Kenya. He believes in Sheria law. Burkas anyone?
You are speculating. John McCain is pandering to the right-wing of the Republican party to get their votes in the general election. No one knows with any certainty who he would choose to sit on the Supreme Court. You wrote that you can’t see the future, so stick to facts, and don’t speculate.
Personally, I am not worried about it.
I am the right wing of conservatism. Moderate, but bona fide Pat Buchanan Traditional conservative.
Guess where I am now? Here, supporting Hillary. lololol
You guys simply don’t understand conservatism, and why McInsane is despised so much on the Right. Like to lump Bush as a Far-Right or whatever, when they’re all Neo-Cons (which is like your New Left).
The Old Right, and the Old Left have more in common than not, and can actually work together. Worked good for over a hundred years, without each destroying the country afterall!
Hey girlie pie,
Get used to it. You’re going to have to fight for your own rights just like I had to.
Care about feminists suddenly do you? So concerned for your reproductive rights? Then you should have supported Hillary.
Love it. I quoted you earlier. If they can’t support the woman who helped us fight for those rights, then they should have a do over.
Typical Hill supporter always wanting to change the rules. lol lol lol
Sorry no do overs.
zzzot, really now. Can’t I have an opinion? I thought we were getting along well. I even liked your very good Cary Grant impressions!
True — these babies don’t have a clue.
They’ll remember when they’re raped, and pimps have more rights. Afterall, prostitution is just a victimless crime, and the “girls” love being just “hos”. :rolleyes:
Let them face how womanhood was like 200+ years ago. Needing permission from the father to marry; permission from her husband to work outside the home (let alone be educated more than being a breed mare - barefooted and pregnant wasn’t a joke). To be treated as a child with no intelligence (why she couldn’t even goto school, or take any responsibility other than having and raising the FATHER’S children).
But thanks to Ayers et al, these kids learned that sex sales; having kids out of wedlock is “normal”; and like Freud, any problems with that concept is related to the woman’s “poor self-esteem” (not treating herself with respect, and the rammifications of treating her body like a seminal vessel).
Nope, don’t even need to be a feminist to know what’s important.
Vote for Obama, and let the pimp use you as yet another seminal vessel. You’ve been educated to believe it’s “sexy” and “kewl” afterall.
….pffft….
Chris get off your soapbox. Everything you just wrote was pure bullshit. lol lol Buyt you impressed yourself I’m sure.
You are correct. I am so sick and tired of Obama supporters trying to fearmonger me into supporting Obama because of Roe and the supreme court. If they gave a crap about Roe they wouldn’t have been so selfish as to choose an unelectable fool.
I fought for our rights before we had any, so don’t come whining to me if you’re too busy toking off the hope bong to preserve them.
Sorry, dont use a bong. Steam roller.
A former Obama supporter, I know for a fact that many of them do not care about women’s rights or reproductive rights.
It’s a “baby daddy” thing.
Oh yeah we area all shaking in our boots.
Honestly, uppity, you’d think the boys would have SOME perception of reality, what does Larry’s work involve, WHY were people so angry about Plame?
The “elite” bloggers really don’t grasp the psychology of some ME guy who would rape you, say, as a man, and then drill holes in your skull, for fun.
Meet Sadaam’s crew.
And they somehow missed maybe the CIA trains around this?
Can’t they evaluate their enemy? And knowing this lil tactic of the smear, don’t they consider taking control of it involves trolling the actors? Or do they think they’re the only boys in the world?
I would think guys like Saddam are the kinda people Valerie Plame dealt with in her work, and she, or any other, is going to be afraid of a bunch of gossipy “girls,” who’ve never dealt with anything more fearful than the PX at a German air force base?
Funny, in terms of having NO IDEA about the psychology of others, but attacking anyway…
Yeah! one more that can’t spell.
“we area all shaking in our boots”
Wellcome to the club!
When commenting on someone else’s spelling, it is important to spell correctly yourself.
“Wellcome” is incorrect, the correct spelling is “Welcome”. Spellcheck should be your friend.

ACCORDING TO SPELL CHECK: SPELLCHECK SHOULD BE TWO WORDS AND YOUR COMMA SHOULD BE A SEMI COLON.
SpellCheck.net is the service I use and it is one word when trademarked. My ‘comma’ passed muster in MS Word and as semi colons are rarely used, I’ll stick with the comma (common though it may be).
I attended a State university on a Pell Grant, not Harvard on a legacy, so I’ll await my corrections.
Thanks.
Still here, crud del sewer?
What do you think shitmeat?
cruzie poo, i thought you were long gone. heck we started the party. now you are back, we’ll have to hide the booze.
