Is Obama Seeking to Spread the Wealth à la Karl Marx? »

Several weeks ago Barack Obama smoothly explained to “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to spread Joe’s wealth around (See Barack Obama Meets “Joe the Plumber”). He advocated taking the wealth of successful Americans and giving it to others as the government saw fit. Barack Obama introduced a heretofor unseen side of his [...]

Colin Powell, A Master Butt Snorkeler [Updated] »

(bumped up by SusanUnPC)
Leave it to Pat Lang to thoroughly skewer the myth and legend of Colin Powell. Powell is a quintessential creature of Washington–smooth talking, handsome, low-key, and relentless in the task of butt-snorkeling. Powell did not achieve what achieved by challenging Presidents and senior commanders on matters of principle. Nope. [...]

Obama and Ayers WORKED in the SAME Office & Address For Three (3) Years »

For three years, and as recently as 2000, Barack Obama and William Ayers WORKED in the same Chicago office — along with Mike Klonsky, another infamous member of the bomb-setting domestic terrorists of the Weather Underground.
Great. Our next president may not just be the most liberal politician to ever serve but his only major achievement [...]

(UPDATED) A Dangerous Mixture of Lies and Omissions: Obama, Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan »

[This essay was originally published in June and titled The Birth of Whitey: Black Liberation Theology and The Nation of Islam. This piece was written by Medusa and Bud White]

The recent, reluctantly released papers from Obama’s time as head at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) and his time on the board of the Woods Fund [...]

Obama/Ayers Update: New York Times’ Shane defends himself on Politico.com »

Apparently the New York Times does not have enough news print to get the story right the first time so they have been emailing me and posting on the blogosphere in order to shore up their faulty story about the Ayers/Obama link. 
I responded earlier to an email from Scott Shane, author of the story, by [...]

Obama, Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge: Does Conservative Stanley Kurtz Get It Right? »

Published September 22, 2008 at my blog, Global Labor and Politics.
…………………………………………………………………
As far as it goes, Stanley Kurtz of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center and the National Review Online, has done a reasonably good job in this essay in the Wall Street Journal of capturing the intimately close political relationship between Barack Obama and [...]

Lies, Money, and Barack »

William Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood—Barack Obama
We know that this is a lie. See my reprised post at bottom, which is worth reviewing as Obama was at it again in his interview with O’Reilly where he repeated his lies in this interview. It was a shame that Bill gave him [...]

Barack, Michelle, Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn—It’s Not Just The Lies »

Why is Barack Obama and his campaign lying about his relationship and association with William “Bill” Ayers? Consider what Obama said on April 16, 2008 when asked about Ayers at the ABC Primary Debate in Philadelphia:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know [...]

Palin Vetted; Obama Remains Unvetted »

The Media is pushing the narrative that Sarah Palin was not vetted. Any close observer of Republican campaigns knows this is false. Republicans are a minority party who continue to win elections because they are professionals; vetting a candidate is a no-brainer for the political veterans running McCain’s operation. Indeed, it was reported in May [...]

BREAKING NEWS: David Axelrod Talking Regularly with Bill Ayers? »

I now have two sources confirming that Barack Obama’s Communications Director, David Axelrod has been communicating regularly with unrepentant terrorist and former member of the Weathermen, Bill Ayers, about how to respond to stories trying to report on Obama’s longstanding relationship with Ayers. One of my sources tells me that one person, a TV [...]

Obama/Ayers Update: Obama Campaign Unleashes “Turbas” on WGN Radio Host »

The other night was a surreal experience. 
Chicago is home to a retired conservative University of Chicago professor named Milt Rosenberg who hosts an evening talk show on WGN radio.  WGN stands for “World’s Greatest Newspaper” because it is owned by the Tribune Company which also owns the Chicago Cubs. Jack Brickhouse, the voice of the [...]

Ayers Was NOT “Just a Neighbor” »

The American Issues Project, a 501(c)4 organization, prepared and released on August 21st a very damning video of Obama and his association with terrorist friend and colleague William Ayers. The increasingly shrill hysteria by Obama and his supporters over this video is very telling. According to Ben Smith writing in Obama to DOJ: Block terrorist [...]

Inside the Obama Ayers Chicago Annenberg Challenge Records »

Here is a second group of records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (”CAC”), the education reform project founded by Bill Ayers and which he led with Barack Obama from 1995 until 2001.  The Challenge spent some $160 million in the Chicago Public School system during that time period with the explicit goal of improving educational [...]

“Annenberg-Gate” - It’s not the crime, it’s the cover up »

There has been some very interesting blogosphere discussion in reaction to the National Review piece on the blocking of access to research material on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge today.  
One comment noted: it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up and now the University of Illinois has provided the cover up.
Ironic, that a public university [...]

The Obama-Ayers Top Ten: Highlights of the 20 year Obama-Ayers Connection »

If you take the Obama campaign at its word, the contention that there is a relationship between Bill Ayers and Barack Obama is “phony,” “tenuous,” a “stretch.” In Obama’s own words, Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” certainly not a long time close political ally.

But a review of just the publicly [...]

The Choice (But I’ve Been Touched) - A Long Overdue Update »

Late on the evening of February 21, 2008, I was transformed. Alas, it’s been quite a while since I’d visited the site, “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?,” and I didn’t realize how much I’d missed. On February 21st, I discovered:
I’ve been touched by the “bluesman from Chicago.” I’ve been inspired by the “new synthetic [...]

Whither the Teachers’ Unions? The Obama/Ayers Link »

All of a sudden, the American Federation of Teachers seems to have decided it is in their best interest to rise to the defense of Obama and his education advisor Linda Darling-Hammond. In particular, they do not want anyone looking too closely at the long-standing relationship between Bill Ayers and their preferred presidential candidate, Senator [...]

“The Ever-Malleable Mr. Obama” »

On MSNBC yesterday, Republican Michael Smerconish, a Philly talk show host, brought up Charles Krauthammer’s latest Washington Post op-ed, and Flineo captured the video.
Smerconish actually says he’s thinking about voting for Obama? Does MSNBC now add a clause to its contracts that its hosts must appear inclined, ideally prostrate, before the Messiah?

Flineo has thoughtfully [...]

How is it under that bus, Comrade Klonsky? »

Easy come, easy go. 
No sooner than Global Labor blogged here and here — reprinted at No Quarter earlier in ““White Guilt” Politics of Obama Crowd Undermined” — about the role in the Obama campaign of Mike Klonsky, former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers’ longtime comrade-in-arms from their days in SDS to the Chicago School Wars [...]
