Buckhead, the Freeper who called foul on the documents, was tracked down by the Los Angeles Times even though he did not post his name on Free Republic.

Anyone have an idea of how that happened?

Widely known for her work on justice and citizenship in ancient Athens and its application to modern America, Danielle Allen is the author of The World of Prometheus: The Politics of Punishing in Democratic Athens (2000) and Talking to Strangers: Anxieties of Citizenship Since Brown vs. the Board of Education (2004).

In 2002 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship for her ability to combine “the classicist’s careful attention to texts and language with the political theorist’s sophisticated and informed engagement.”

Allen’s plans for future work include a theoretical study of politics and change; an historical study of Platonic political thought; an examination of the concept of equality; and a theoretical study of democracy, knowledge and higher education.

I swear Obama has expropriated Frank Sinatra’s style. He’s doing a Sinatra album cover without the tie and hat.

ANDY MARTIN RESPONDS TO WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE NAMING MARTIN AS THE SOURCE OF COMMENTS ABOUT OBAMA’S RELIGIOUS ROOTS

Ms. Allen has been using tax exempt facilities to conduct her political research. Once again, an Obama supporter is caught apparently violating the law (by using tax-exempt facilities to do Obama campaign research).

neither Mosk nor Allen disclose any contacts Allen had with the Obama campaign, perhaps because of the sensitivity of using tax exempt facilities to conduct political research for Obama’s campaign. How could Mosk write an article and leave out a question about Allen’s contact with Obama’s campaign?

“Ms. Allen’s role is left hanging. She literally appears out of thin air. She claims to have accumulated masses of information, done research, and yet had no visible impact on the campaign until Mosk identified her on June 28th. Very, very strange. What impact has she had to justify her sudden appearance in the Post?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2037797/posts

“How did Mosk find Allen if she had no public record of any involvement? Obviously he was steered to her by the Obama campaign, a fact Mosk neglects to disclose. I would suggest that if Mosk was steered to her by the Obama campaign Mr. Mosk needs to write a follow-up story and disclose his own research record; it raises serious suspicions.

“The article says Allen met Obama as a ‘dean,’ but Obama had stopped teaching at the law school by the time Allen became a dean somewhere else in the university. There is an inconsistency here.

Their next plan (after Obeymao is elected) will be to have schoolchildren turn in their parents to “the authorities” whenever they hear them saying anything negative about Tsar Obama, the benevolent.

Is there a card or a special mark, handshake, etc or anything that a person may use to verify their religious beliefs?

Probably because it didn’t work with Bush either.

Right on! Could there even be 100,000 voters who’ll switch their votes from Obama to McCain based upon fears that he is Muslim, or the knowledge that his father’s family is?

In any event, it couldn’t be more clear that he is totally irreligious. Not only does he have no true religious conviction, he thinks religion is sufficiently unimportant that faking religious conviction is perfectly acceptable. (It is for that reason it would also insults atheists and agnostics to call him either: atheists and agnostics regard religion as sufficiently important to take a stand for their beliefs.)

Any affection Obama has or had for Islam is going to be either innocuous pride in heritage, or (typical) manifestation of a radical’s embrace of anything which they see as an alternative to the American establishment and traditional values. It certainly will have zero to do with an actual belief that the Quran is the true word of God as given to Mohammed.

If we were insignificant, then why would they go after us?

They're nervous. After all, FR got their guru Dan Rather out of journalism after 50 years.

FreeRepublic is on the front line, fighting and winning battles against the evil that is infecting our Republic.

They'll mention us, but it will never be anything positive.

But they know they have to respond, because this website is consistently accurate in revealing the ugliness of the liberals, socialists and Democrats.

Yes, that is very available for most. If nothing else church records, but most keep their own records of these matters.

He dresses up like a muslim and has a muslim name, yet he shouts down anyone who questions his "religion."

Oppression of the truth and silencing of the dissenters is a muslim tactic, and the democrats and communists use it all the time as well.

The Obama campaign is afraid of FREE REPUBLIC. So they get one of their go-to goons at the Washington Post, no less, to do a hit piece.

Frankly, I'm glad that Obama and the WaPo are scared. It makes me proud to be a member of this website. FReepers are making a difference and helping keep this country free of closet Muslim/Marxists like Obama, and frauds like John Kerry.

Thank you Jim Robinson for making it all possible.

I’ve got news for these turkeys. Whether Obama is or is not a Muslim is not just being discussed on Free Republic. I get e-mails all the time from people who never even heard of Free Republic (yes, it’s hard to believe but there are those out there) who are sending me “Obama Is A Muslim” e-mails. My e-mail mailbox is full of them.

Yeah, you are right!

I cannot imagine how bad it would be without online forums like Free Republic.

Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh certainly do help me find peace of mind as well, because I know their reports would never be broadcast by the devious goons in the MSM.

Obama will go after brave men like Jim, Rush and Sean if he gets into office. I really do believe that.

Let's just hope and pray that McCain doesn't blow it before November gets here.
