Ready to “fight the smears,” Barack? How about, at last, answering a few preliminary questions?
1. When did you first meet unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, one of your early key political fundraisers? As the co-founder of the Annenberg Chicago Challenge wasn’t he instrumental in your appointment as its chairman in 1995? Why haven’t you acknowledged this before? What is your full relationship with Ayers and his influential family?
2. What is your relationship with radical Palestinian Rashid Khalidi, another of your early political fundraisers? Explain why you voted, along with Bill Ayers, on the board of the non-profit foundation, the Woods Fund, to give a series of grants to the Arab-American Action Network, run by Khalidi’s wife, a former PLO official, that featured events propagandizing that Israel is a “catastrophe”?
3. Have you ever met or communicated with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan? According to a report, citing a former close aide of yours, you depended upon Farrakhan’s support in your political campaigns and hired members of the Nation of Islam for your US Senate campaign staff and still maintain a member on your US Senate staff on the federal payroll.
The Nation of Islam, of course, is listed by the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith as a racist and anti-Semitic hate group. Have you employed Nation of Islam members? Do you still?
We’re waiting.
And while you’re answering those questions, how about an update on Tony Rezko. You asked Tony for help buying your new home even though he was facing a Federal investigation for corruption. We know that Tony played a critical role in your fund raising machine in Chicago. And now, if Tony is telling the truth, Federal prosecutors want Tony to dish the dirt on your activities with him. ppm103_060908_rezko_lett_to_st_eve.pdf. Can you come clean on your relationship with Tony?
Where’s the tape you rug wearing bitch?

4. What is your relationship with Scarlett Johanssen? Please make public all your e-mails to her and permit her to release her own.
5. Not including your wife and daughters, how many females have you called “Sweetie” in the past two years?
and how many males?
I know he called Larry Sinclair sweetie…

Happy Birthday to you….

Father of three: How many children do you really have?
How many states are there in the US?
Where are the great lakes located?
Does IL border Kentucky or Arkansas?
LOVED your comment because it made me laugh. Yes, where in the world is all that love that was supposed to magically decend when Senator Clinton suspended her campaign? I’m just not feeling the love either.
LOL….the Obamabots are going into PANIC mode!
Congrats Larry!
Seriously…are the obamabushbots this stupid?
This one’s easy: YES.
Many times they are the first to comment, waiting breathlessly, desperately for a Larry thread.
Bitter, clingy O-bots.
Indeed, it’s like arguing with Rowdy Roddy Piper; just when all his nonsense smears are rebutted and answered, Larry changes the questions.
um, what’s that have to do with the questions in Larry’s post?
MOVE to the back of the bus please ! Mr. Rashid Khalidi would like on board.
scoot down Alsammarae….everyone make way for the latest person on, under, or soon to board the bus…..
“Ouch”, Auchi says.
How about when and where did you first meet Tony Rezko?
C’mon, Barry. You can do it! Answer the questions!
uh, uh, uh Bud, uh, uh, um … I um uh can but I uh uh um uh what was your question again?
lmao beebop
This is why McCain is going to nail Hussein Obama in the debates. Hussein can’t think very fast when he’s not reading from a script. Hussein Obama will spend half of his debate time going “ummmmm….uhhhhh….uuuuuu…ummmmmm…”. Sort of like George Bush. Does good with the written speech, but forced to ad lib and think on his feet? Total waste case.
Guess he forgot to turn on the telepromter. Or he has to consult Mr. Dean first.
Gotta share this from a smart, young woman who says exactly what many of us have been feeling:
http://www.partizane.com/?p=363
dang, I hate to say this, but I have read pieces of her blog, from different sources before, really. From different people. And I am NOT supporting the Precious and AM a diehard PUMA. Anyone else see these paragraphs before? Yikes careful here. We know Obama thinks nothing of lifting another’s lines, but we hold ourselves above that. Please prove me wrong!!!!
Tim Wise at Counterpunch nails it. White Democrats who refuse to vote for Obama are racists.
“If it were gender solidarity you sought, you would by definition join with your black and brown sisters come November, and do what you know good and well they are going to do, in overwhelming numbers, which is vote for Barack Obama. But no. You are threatening to vote not like other women–you know, the ones who aren’t white like you and most of your friends–but rather, like white men!”
there you go! race card ho-o!!!
and the brown people are with Hillary duuuudes
Latinas for Hillary
BOOYAH!!!
Did Tim Wise’ column strike a chord with you?
Each time I see a post from you, I am only more resolved to make calls here in Ohio to at least 15 homes a day for John McCain. Thanks for joining us again today!
Beebop, you make me laugh. What do you say when you make calls for Mckook? Support McKook because he wants 100 years of war? Support McKook because he hates women and wants to overturn Roe v Wade? Support McKook because he hates black people and he opposes MLK day?
I am going to say this to my fellow Ohioan:
“As a former HRC supporter who is concerned about issues like experience, honesty, reliability and a record we can trust, I hope you will join me at the polls to support the only remaining candidate on the ballot who will put Ohio’s interests before foreign interests.”
That was a very quick first draft. What do you think?
beebop, I have already started getting the calls here in Ohio on whether I will support Barry. I know the tone of the call by now. I say: Let’s cut to the chase shall we? Under no circumstances will I vote for Barry. *Click*
Same old “white guilt” bullshit, different day.
Why is it that you have to label people in order for the world to make sense to you? You sound just like George Bush, you’re either for us or against us, only with you, its you’re either for Obama or you are a racist. People, meet the Democratic version of George Dubya Bush. Hail to the Chief.
Its amazing how our country bows to these brothers and sisters of ours and allows them to continually play the race card. Anytime they do not agree with what others think, or do not get their way they blame the whites. I for one have expierienced the reverse discrimination that is said to not exist. It is growing in leaps and bounds, but is justified and condoned due to the fear of this country to try and say otherwise. It is almost as if we are pacifing them so as not to have to listen to or witness their tantrums. If any other race kept chanting race card they would be silenced imediatly and no one would even give a hoot. I personally am tired of certain groups being handed everything on a silver platter based on the color of their skin. They want us to get past our racist views but they themselves cannot do the same. But of course we can’t understand what they are going through ya know, its a black thing.

Land on this for a while.

PILE OF SHIT
Wow another moronic Bambi supporter making a false charge of racism! What’s this make 40K?, 50K?. You should be ashamed to repeat his trash here. I notice he doesn’t mention Wright or Rezco or “clinging to guns and religion” in his feeble rant.
I can’t hear you!
Stupid, what about Latinos, Asians, blacks, Gays, lesbians and paraplegics that refuse to vote Obama–are they racist, too? Go get your brain tuned up. Crapping out.
How’s about all black and brown sisters join with our black, brown, and white sisters who are still supporting Hillary. Where’s that stat anyway: the one that says the % of black and brown sisters for OB and those for Hillary. I’ve been waiting for that one for over a year.
Vaginal Fortitude!
Hillary 2008
WARNING RACE CARD — NEXT RACE CARD IN 10 MINUTES.
Hey idiot Obamabots — this battle is about America — the safety and security of America is at stake.
Obama is a danger to America
Obamabots are traitors to America.
Obama might pass as black — but at his core he is a white Authoritarian fascist.
Why don’t my “black and brown sisters” join me in Sisterhood ?(not gender solidarity, dopey) No they’ll vote for a black man, over a fellow woman.That sword cuts both ways.
And I don’t need to be schooled in Feminism from a greasy white boy with a greasy keyboard. I live it every day.
Yeah you fuckin idiot Johnson, people like you are horrible. Having been a victim of lies and rumours I’d expect more from a pudgy faced bastard like yourself but apparently not. Where is the whitey tape? When is it coming out? I really want to see it?
Always in a hurry. You have the attention span of a lightning bolt.
british spelling by way of gaza?
Yep — these GAZA boys always give themselves away.
The GOP will release the tape when it will do the most harm to Obama and NOT before.
Exactly. This tape is definitely October material. It’s still the start of summer, nobody will be watching until after the conventions, then bam! The Michelle Hate Whitey tape will consume all that precious media oxygen while the Dailykooks hippies go nuts.
So I guess you’re choosing to not address the points Larry has raised?
Because they’re all points that WILL have to be addressed if obama ever hopes of being the President.
Ignoring that fact doesn’t help your Dear Leader.
Ignoring that fact doesn’t help your Dear Fearful Leader. Now, go play with yourself.
Anyone have a straightjacket and muzzle for this clown? Or a club better yet?
There is no way that the obama camp can answer any of these questions to your liking. If you ask for a birth certificate, you’ll accuse them of offering a fake, etc.
Really, is there any answer that would satisfy you?
Just one honest answer would be a nice start.
Lie detector?
When your own autobiography includes “facts” that can be proven to be historically false you have more problems of credabilty than just a few nonbelievers.
that’s fine… just call him a liar. I think that is more intellectually honest that posting a bunch of “questions” when you will never accept the answer.
Tarheel, he is a liar. “Five billable hours” Rezko, “He lives in my neighborhood” Ayers, “I never heard him say blah, blah, blah” Rev. 20 year member Wright.
When you yourself refuse to SEE the truth - what does that make you?
What flavor is the Kool-Aid today?
I think accusations of bias are fine. You say I drink the kool-aid, fine. I disagree. We’ll leave it at that.
I just don’t like the tactic of “asking questions” when there is no answer you will accept. That is such typical republican strategery.
I think your point is really good. A lot of people, including me, think that Obama is a liar and we would like to see if his answers will be more lies.
You are saying that Larry would immediately call Obama’s answers lies without checking to see if they are. I disagree with that point. People are skeptical Obama for good reasons, yes, but wouldn’t do him the injustice of proclaiming his answers dishonest without evidence. So far it seems the answers he gave about Rezko, Ayers, and others are, if not outright lies, intentionally misleading.
Perhaps the unvarnished truth would suffice?
This is so sweet. Coming from the team that brought you There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama.
Date of historica Selma march: March 9, 1965
Date of Birth Barack H Obama : August 4, 1961
(both dates courtesy Wikipedia.org)
So. You see. Fool us once and you forfeit your credibility. No reason to lie. Just for show.
Tarheel….I’ve already seen a birth certificate with the middle names of “Muhammad Hussein” so which one is the real birth certificate? I’ll take the one with Muhammad Hussein!
good for you.
ooo….Larry’s gonna give Obama an Auchi !
The Kids for Obama are back at the new site looking up talking points.
I predict a new wave of stupid to blow thru here now that the O-bots have new talking points from The One. Little potty mouths.
Tim Wise at Counterpunch is an idiot.
i’ll take grasping at straws for $1,000, Alex.
::inserts your post::
Who is Larry Johnsons?
::wins big::
What is, “Your worst nightmare, Alex?”
DING, DING, DING … a four day Jeopardy weiner ladies and gentlemen!
Chicago, Chicago Dirty Politics Chicago…lol
Here is a simple question, one that will take Axelrod’s computer team or maybe the FEC 5 minutes to answer via the patterns of prepaid credit card numbers and the patterns of isp’s used:
How many of Obama’s 1.5 million small donors were made using prepaid credit cards supplied by Obama’s campaign to create another illusion?
and did any of the funds come from sources that it would be a federal crime to associate with/accept money from?
well Axelrod and Bambi will never tell….lol
After all what would it take for someone like Soro’s to drop a box of say 10,000 prepaid credit cards to Acorn to use to support his guy, after all it is Chicago politics is it not?….lol
It is sad that so many self identified Democrat white females would be so fearful of an articulate, intelligent, honest, hard working black man like Barack Obama as though he is some sort of criminal, who is looking to assault white women at every turn. It is my hope that when Barack becomes president, he would make it a priority to bring white and black people together. White women should be mandated to attend community programs where they will interact with African American men in an attempt to replace their ignorance with tolerance and understanding. This would be one good way to bring people together.
That’s a parody, right?
on another site yesterday, i assumed an obot was employing sarcasm when he kept going on and on about how suicide bombers are good, etc.
the obot promptly informed me that he was dead serious.
it’s becoming scary.
Oh my. I think he’s serious.
Are you Fucking serious?
Obviously you white women don’t like the idea of having to interact with minorities. Can’t say I am surprised, but what a shame.
I am amused by how you make assumptions about people’s ethnicity and gender. You cannot argue any issue intelligently, so you go for the lowest common denominator: personal insults, which are no argument at all.
FF is not only racist — he is also sexist.
White women have been identified by Obama as evil because Obama HATES he white mother.
Racist pigs sent by Obama to call us names.
Yep that will make us vote for that creep.
Keep it up Obamabots!!
You are losing voters for Obama. Keep it up and perhaps Obama will be a big fat ZERO in the Electoral College games.
That should be –
Obama hates his white mother.
Uh dude, we’re ex military, as well as college educated. Many of my husband’s bosses (both enlisted and officer) were AA as were many of my next door neighbors and friends. One of my best training partners and my trainer were both AA. So bite me. I voted for Jesse Jackson and really wanted Colin Powell to run back in 2000. Racist, my ass. Anti-stupid, corrupt, jackass running for POTUS, guilty as charged.
This twisted individual is a omen of things to come.
Maybe you could mandate women to to things in say Iran “Freedom Fighter”
LOL…OMG!
HAHAHA
White Women being bussed by government mandate to inner cities to deal with their fear of the Big Black Man!
you too funny!!
Should they wear something sexy?
As long as it’s not in any of the buildings Obama allowed Rezko to build for the poor in his district, after all the bribes and kick backs there wasn’t much left to keep the buildings livable, and they are all falling down now.
Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.
Ok, you threw me off at: articulate, intelligent, honest, hard working ummm errr ahhh well you know…….my loving church TUCCC that gave me such inner peace….I never heard Rev Wright, oh yes I did, oh no I didn’t….darn I pressed the “present” button again.
So now America goes from freedom to concentration camps huh, something Obamistake learned from his Uncle who liberated Poland I presume?
You.are.an.idiot. To tim unwise:
“Are you REALLY so dimwitted as to address your article to white “women” only?
Boy, are you in for a rude surprise. Even in the instance of a poll being pushed to show women being split between McCain and Obama, you’re ignoring the huge number of white men falling away from Obama.
Yet, you focus on “women.” White women.
Let’s be clear here: You are propagating the FALSE idea that the sole reason people are not voting for Obama
is his mixed heritage.
YOU are crying wolf, so the words “racism” “racist” will lose every bit of their meaning. You are trivializing a part of society that DOES involve attention, and communication…dreaming it up, where it is far from being the core of womens’ aversion to Obama, is DISGUSTING.
You THINK you understand race, but take your filters off once in awhile and LISTEN to the reasons people are giving for not voting for Obama. I could provide a litany of factual (yes, right there in the good ol’ public record) that prove Obama is a pure empty suit politician) but your filters prevent you from undestanding.
Just as a Doctor who specializes in radiation therapy favors…radiation therapy, instead of holistic methods…you push RACE as the reason for all of this division.
YOU ARE MISSING THE BIGGEST CLUE by writing this ridiculous article.
Yes, there are some people who are pure out and out racist, but that is a small cross-section of democrats OR republicans, or independents, or Europeans, or little old Jewish men…
I feel sorry for people who are SO focused on race, that the operate from that standpoint, with that filter in place…
It’s not all about your skin color.”
I told my husband yesterday that he was an “old, uneducated white woman” now. He said, “That’s ridiculous.” I said, “Tell that to the media and the Obamazoids.”
Apparently all of us who support Hillary: even if we’re black, brown, yellow, red, men, women, young, educated, all of us…are now “old, uneducated white women.”
And they say there is no sexism in this campaign!!
We will probably seen an increase in the violence against women — women who appear to be white — thanks to Obama.
FEAR will NOT make me vote for Obama.
Apparently Obama wants to use the same tactics his cousin used in Kenya.
The mob mentality that Obama brings out in his followers is astounding.
It is as if I’m watching a Psychology experiment gone nuclear!
This Obama thing that has been created — is so unAmerican it is a thing of pure evil. Obama is even speaking of Obama in the third person — and this is a sign of psychopathology (mental illness).
Black men need to leave white women the fuck alone! Back off!
Geez, why not pick on white men for awhile? Don’t you know, they are less smitten with Barry than their white lady friends!
Wouldn’t you have loved to be in the meeting when someone came up with this: ‘Hey, I have an idea. Let’s just call them b*tches and f*ucking w*ores and then, after he wins the nomination, when they won’t vote for him, we’ll call them RACISTS and shame them into voting for him.’
Yah. There was a genius. Let me guess. It was Freedom Fighter. I bet he even dresses in designer cammo … LMFAO
Freedom Fighter is probably some white frat rat who thinks memorizing Straight Outta Compton makes him a badass mo’fo Original Gangsta.
Gawd…you ARE an idiot! Clinton supporters are NOT afraid of black men! We’re afraid of race-baiting, sexist, anti-American, inexperienced, unqualified, vote suppressing, lying, hypocritical, uncaring douches like Obama!
Afraid? Who’s afraid? That scrawny little punk, Obama, and his Halo playing, computer hacking, cheetoh eating, sedentary, fat ass minions can’t even benchpress their friggin’ keyboards. And I’m supposed to be afraid of them. Pffft.
Are you writing for SNL? Because you are funny!
Do you remember a little tune he played for our enjoyment? 99 Problems and the Bitch Ain’t One?
Angry HRC women voters … can you get a vote from one? You can probably use the same music.
Man it is thick with you ObamaMessiah fools in here today!
