Will MSM Continue Ignoring Shocking Obama 'Redistribution of Wealth' Audio?
Newsbusters ^ | October 27, 2008 | P. J. Gladnick

Once again we have another story that has been picked up in a big way by the Blogosphere but is currently being ignored by the mainstream media. And this time the story is huge. If you've seen the Drudge Report today you will know exactly which story this is; the audio of a 2001 interview on Chicago public radio station WBEZ FM in which Barack Obama explicitly calls for the "redistribution of wealth." You won't find any information about this blockbuster story in the MSM just yet but as been very typical lately, you can be informed on this topic on the Blogosphere including this report from Steve Schippert of Wizbang who posted it at 1:20 this morning while the members of the MSM were complacently sleeping, comfortable in the knowledge that Obama probably had the election in the bag:

The audio of a Barack Obama radio interview below is stunning. Unfortunately, it will probably stun few. For once the word "Constitution" is mentioned, electoral eyes roll into the backs of voters' heads as memories of a boring high school history class in a hot, dusty classroom emerge in the place of contemplation of the founding principles of this nation.

Speaking of the Warren Court its interpretation of the Constitution during the Civil Rights movement, Obama said, "It wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. At least as it's been interpreted and more important interpreted in the same way that, generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties; says what the states can't do to you, what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the state government or federal government must do on your behalf."

YES. It fits THEIR socialist/communist agenda.

BTW, a communist is simply a socialist who knows how to use firearms. I suspect Obama will graduate shortly AFTER the coronation.

Yes they will.

obama came out last week and said he won’t apologize for the “spread the wealth” comment to Joe the plumber. He’s not walking away from it because the electorate wants to hear it.

Sad.

Not only will they continue to ignore it but even the conservative press is burying the lead.

The real issue isn’t that he wants to redistribute wealth. That happens all the time under a taxation scheme.

The real issue is that he wants to free the federal government and counts from the “constraints” put on it by the Constitution.

That, my friend, is real scary Benito Mussolini level stuff.

Beck is calling Obama a communist. Our early morning local guy was all over it, as was Bill Bennett. Will it translate to TV...who knows.

No. Obama’s people will be forced to go on defense. This all coming before his huge “address to the nation”. Make no mistake, this one will hurt Hussein bad...

The Welfare Media: sitting on their asses letting private citizens do their jobs, while they suck off the corporate teat.

Why should they have f/t jobs with health insurance and benefits, when they aren’t doing anything?

It is time to redistribute their wealth!

As soon as McCain and Palin use ‘quotes’ from this audio, the mainstream media will no longer be able to ignore it. This is no good for ‘the one’.

Why wouldn't they continue ignoring it? I just watched McCain speak live on Fox - at some jobs summit - and HE didn't mention it either.
