The Quiet Coup: Obama and the Disciplined Left
GOPublius.com ^ | October 12, 2008 | GOPublius.com

Posted on 10/12/2008 11:40:17 PM PDT by americanophile

...The direction and the intention is thus clear, but the Left has learned from its earlier failures and this time is working in a disciplined and at times coordinated fashion to ensure Obama’s election. Cognizant of the backlash that has accompanied past left-wing power grabs, and the tendency of Americans to reject radicalism, the Left is attempting to slip Obama past the American people - a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The ever-quotable Michelle Obama, a woman whose pride in her country appeared with its embrace of her radical husband disappeared from the campaign trail months ago. So did Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, and other agitators from the civil rights industry. Quiet has been Kweisi Mfume, and restrained has been the NAACP. Gone too are the usual suspects from Hollywood: there have been no rantings from Barbara Streisand, no pronouncements from Rosie O’Donnell or Danny Glover. Absent has been Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins or Rob Reiner. Not a peep from Ben Affleck, Sean Penn, Janeane Garofalo, or Michael Moore. The anti-war Left is also in hiding. No demonstrations from Code Pink, or media stunts from Cindy Sheehan, and decided restraint from A.N.S.W.E.R. and other groups. MoveOn.org has been uncharacteristically quiet, and we’ve heard nary a mention of George Soros. Academia is also doing its part. William Ayers is conveniently on sabbatical, Ward Churchill has yet rear his head, and there’s been little opining by Noam Chomsky. Most helpful of all of course has been the mainstream media, which has abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity and has covered Obama for nearly 20 months without asking any probing questions or investigating any disquieting connections - quietly burying anything negative and suppressing the most basic elements of intellectual curiosity - from missing birth certificates, to

I noticed all that-very quiet, careful and sneaky in trying to slip Obama into the White House.

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.

The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN, whatever, caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown, state his solution and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

FReep ‘EM!!!! SEND THEM THESE VIDEOS:

OBAMA CAUGHT STATING ACORN AND FRIENDS WILL SHAPE HIS PRESIDENTIAL AGENDA!!

Well, give him credit, his handlers put together a good campaign while McCain was merely the beneficiary of the conservative vote being hopelessly fragmented by multiple candidates.

Romney and Palin would sure look good about right now.

None of the continued adoration would be possible if we had a free media.

The media is totally owned and operated by the far left America hating underground.

And that includes the remnants of the Weather Underground, Soros, Moveon. and the so called foundations that have been taken over by those who would overthrow this government.

We continue to think we are being intellectually honest when we criticize our own who are standing in the breach all the while doing nothing more than aiding our enemies.

This article clearly and explicitly explains how devistating and scary (Halloween Scary) this could be with Obama winning the Presidency...the connections boggle my mind even as I have been exposed to these radicals over the years here at FR.
BTTT!

And when he and Michele get into the White House, he will appoint nothing but fellow Socialists to the Cabinet and Supreme Court.
All we peasants will be required to do is send them at least half of what we make and keep our mouths shut, lest we be hauled in for hate speech. This is the “Change” they will say America voted for.
Shame on the Blacks, the university students, and the ignorant for selling out their country like this. What a betrayal of everything good men have sacrificed and died for!

The Quiet Coup: Obama and the Disciplined Left

The quiet coup has more to do with what's happened to the U.S. in the last 50-60 years than what one might be seeing out there in a snapshot of current times.

The mortgage and credit crisis took some time between Carter and Clinton and the current democrats to develop and bring to a crawl the greatest economy ever.

But, the more sinister of developments in the last 50-60 years is related to education and the democrats' constituencies.

You have done a lot of good work.

When O informed the free-beer crowd in Europe, “We are the ones we have been waiting for”, or words to that effect, he was announcing to every socialist in the world.

It appears he has unlimiited, global campaign funds, he has most or all of the major global press, he has the endorsement of our nation’s enemies and he can rely on what appears to be an endless stream of uninformed voters and voter fraud.

If one tries to imagine how it will look when the USA is pulled over the horizon in chains, how is this any different?

Where do patriots draw the line in the sand?

What signals the tipping point?
