Why is Obama Hiding the Truth About William Ayers? Follow the Money

No Quarter ^ | April 26, 2008 | Larry Johnson

[counterpunch]

No, he shouldn’t have.
He should have latched onto it from the very start, and exposed the political roots of it. He should have exposed that it isn’t Christian theology at all, but rather thinly veiled Marxist ideology.

[skinkinthegrass]

Hillary hasn’t jumped on the Obama-Ayers connection.
she really can't "burn all the bridges" to her Socialist-Marxist/Stalinist past.....it defines her whole being....did I said that?

[Kenny Bunk]

a clue-by-four, which still leaves Sean unphased#:

It would take a lot more than a "clue-by-four#" to get through Hannity's hair-do and affect his brain.

#1. that's "unfazed." "unphased" is an electrical term .. which still leaves Hannity's brain unfazed.
#2. I am sorry to report that the brilliant "clue-by-four" has been stolen by a shameless plagiarist: me.

Obama is friends with more than one ~ Bill’s got a wife ~ she’s got convictions to show for it. There are undoubtedly others.

Algore is actually very easy to beat. He's done nothing for local party people for a long time. Dems have a habit of not supporting those who have not supported them somewhere.

Remember, almost all Dems are in it for the money.

[skinkinthegrass]

So I believe the Democrat ticket is going to be Gore/Obama...I think this ticket would be very tough for McCain to beat...This is a very troubling thought.

[freespirited]

The author, Larry Johnson, is a big Hillary supporter, but I have to say, I’m impressed with his research. IIRC, he was the first to point out that Obambi has three skeletons in his closet: Ayers, Wright, and Rashid Khalidi.

I think he really has nailed something here about how Obama landed at Sidley. Very good detective work.

[freespirited]

So I believe the Democrat ticket is going to be Gore/Obama.

The RAT party will explode if Obambi is denied the presidential nomination.

[Kenny Bunk]

The RAT party will explode if Obambi is denied the presidential nomination.

But what if it's Obama's idea? The guy lies pretty good.

Al Gore is well on the way to being a billionaire. Why would he give that up for a $400,000 a year gig?

That's correct. And Obama is rolling in money, and has spread around a lot of money. More than Hillary has. All the elected Democrat super-delegates are salivating at the prospect of getting a slice of Obama's leftover primary election war chest once we enter the general election. They are not, however, looking forward to the the prospect of the Clintons back in power, where they can exact revenge on all of the disloyal Obama supporters who stabbed Hillary in the back. And there are a great many of them, and in high places.

This is why Obama will be the nominee, no matter how badly he crashes and burns from here on out.

Algore is actually very easy to beat.

Wait just a cotton-pickin' minute! Easy to beat?

A genuine Oscar Winner. A genuine Nobel Prize Winner. A Carbon-Offset Trader. The Pope of the Orthodox Church of Global Warming. This is not the pompous drooling fool that lost to George II in the Supreme Court, where he took the dispute. He's grown, He's matured. He's gained gravitas. He hates the Clintons. He's available.

And if it had not been for this great American, Al Gore, you and I would not be speaking through cyberspace on his Internet.

Oh yeah, he's got money and knows where to get more.

[skimask]

Sometimes I think this guy is the “Manchurian Candidate”. Something that has been planned for a long time.

[skinkinthegrass]

Why would he give that up for a $400,000 a year gig?

well...
short answer: Its all about the power
the long answer: Its the idealogical Elitism.
...Communism, didn't fail.....only Soviet/Sino Communism did....We are American Socialist-Marxist (Stalinists), We just can't fail...We (the Elite) are supremely qualified...to guide (shepherd) the "little people/lambs"....the sheep (think Animal Farm).

[Kenny Bunk]

....prospect of the Clintons back in power, where they can exact revenge

If that happened, Bill Richardson would have to go into the Witness Protection Program.

But if Obama could be convinced to cheerfully take the VP slot as a "co-president," and could sell it in the 'hood, that just might work. They get the dough (left-overs are Obama's property, legal fair and square), and they keep the Black vote on the plantation.

Such a deal! And look at the credit Obama would get as a hero of the party. OK, so he's president next time. He's young. He'll get over it.

Alternate scenario: a real scandal bomb drops on the Golden-Tongued Anointed One, something with low down dirty sex and drugs ... what happens then?

[counterpunch]

IMHO, Mrs. Clinton may also be unelectable. So I believe the Democrat ticket is going to be Gore/Obama. Ostensibly, the idea might even come from Obama, in the name of party unity.

No, you have to look at this 3 dimensionally. There are a lot of hidden layers to it. First of all, Al Gore wouldn't take the grueling day-to-day job of president now. He was, as it turns out, the real winner of election 2000, because he has international influence in the areas he's interested in, without the burden of having to deal with all the areas he's not. He sets his own schedule and can take as much money for his work as he wants, from whomever he wants. And most importantly to Gore, he is insulated from criticism, something he would lose once he was back in political office. What Gore is doing is all upside for him.

But beyond that, you need to understand, that the super-delegates want to win the 2008, election, they really do... but it's not a matter of life and death. They are more interested in their own political fates, and taking the nomination from Obama, no matter how poorly they know he will do now, would be political suicide for them.

Hillary would begin Stalinist purges of the party. Blacks would hemorrhage. "Young people" would be disillusioned. The news media would castigate them. All of that money Obama has to throw around would dry up.

The Democrat party hacks put their own survival ahead of someone with a 'D' by their name winning an election.

But even all of this aside, the harsh reality of it is that both candidates will be so close to having the necessary delegates to win, that no one else could be selected. There is not a 3-way tie here. Delegates will break one way or another, either to Clinton or Obama, and one of them will win on the first ballot.
If by some impossible turn of events neither candidate is nominated on the first few ballots, and delegates of one candidate blink and decide to break off and form an Al Gore coalition, enough delegates from their side would switch to the other in order to block it, handing the nomination to the candidate whose delegates won the game of chicken.
 

[Kenny Bunk]

.....Sidley. Very good detective work.

Sounds to me that Bernadine Dohrn got to Michelle Obama, who's reputed to run Barak Hussein. Bill runs Bernadine, or vice versa, they run Michelle, Michelle runs Barak.

Well, that's solved. Waddawedo now?

Question: During all those years when Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn were on the run, was it the wealthy Tom Ayers that supported them and knew where they were when the FBI didn't?

[Kenny Bunk]

...and delegates of one candidate blink and decide to break off and form an Al Gore coalition,...

Just a feeling on my part, but I "feel" that this contingency plan may have already been set in motion.

But one thing is for sure, and that is that the Democrats have captured our bandwidth. Prhaps we really ought to be worrying about what to do with McCain.

Now there's an interesting situation....+

There is no way said contingency plan could be set in motion.
There are only two candidates, and not enough uncommitted delegates left to have any kind of impact. This unexpected mystery candidate would be in a very distant 3rd place and not go anywhere.

These brokered convention type deals can only take place in a crowded field where no one candidate can muster enough votes to reach 50%+1.
So let's remain rational here. Your scenario is pure fantasy.
