I am baffled why it is racist to inquire about the racist Rev. Wright when Obama himself not so long ago boasted of the value of his friendship with Wright, and sympathetic journalists saw the radical Wright as a sort of proof of Obama's leftwing fides. And while we are battered by economic news, and Wright becomes a "distraction", that defensive argument is largely used out of embarrassment, since at one time most in the Obama circle once saw Wright, in the mode of the Ayers friendship and the ACORN patronage, as a definite plus. Only when he became a...

The media is ferociously attacking the McCain campaign’s new Web-based ad linking Barack Obama and Bill Ayers. The ad is very short: Obama's blind ambition. When convenient, he worked with terrorist Bill Ayers. When discovered, he lied. Obama. Blind ambition. Bad judgment. Congressional liberals fought for risky subprime loans. Congressional liberals fought against more regulation. Then, the housing market collapsed costing you billions. In crisis, we need leadership, not bad judgment. A second longer ad released on the Web at the same time continues this point and argues: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers, friends. They have worked together for years,...

To listen to the Obama spin-masters you’d think that the McCain campaign’s questioning of their candidate’s association with unrepentant terrorist bomber Bill Ayers is a smear tactic falsely elevating a casual relationship between the two men into one where they worked together in promoting Ayers’ far-left goals. Their reaction to the continuing revelations that disprove that claim is one of sheer panic – and they have a good reason to be scared witless that any in-depth probe of what went on between the two comrades will reveal Obama’s true colors – all of them dark red!

If the election for President and Vice President were held today and you had to make a choice for whom would you vote?

Does Barack Obama have Kenyan citizenship? No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 21st birthday.

McCain: Ayers will come up in debate By: Andy Barr October 14, 2008 11:05 AM EST John McCain said Tuesday that Barack Obama is “probably ensured” that his association with 1960s radical William Ayers will come up in Wednesday’s debate. “I was astonished to hear him say that he was surprised that I didn’t have the guts” to bring up Ayers, McCain said on KMOX, a St. Louis radio station. “I think he is probably ensured that it will come up this time.” McCain was responding to Obama’s charge last week that the Arizona senator was willing to make attacks...

In another piece of bad news for the McCain campaign, Sen. Barack Obama has taken a solid lead in four large battleground states, a new set of polls indicates. Sen. Obama has double-digit leads in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. He leads by a slightly smaller margin in Colorado, according to new Quinnipiac University polls conducted in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal and Washingtonpost.com. His prospects have improved in the wake of two debates with Sen. John McCain, and are enhanced by the fact that the electorate that views him as better prepared to deal with the economy. Sen. Obama...

Urgent request to all Freepers to help Stanley Kurtz gain access to embargoed Chicago Annenberg Challenge documents. Documents pertaining to Barack Obama's unknown relationship with William Ayers, unrepentant terrorist.

With Election Day now in sight, John McCain and Sarah Palin need to turn up the heat. Frustrated conservatives are waiting for some spirit and energy. This race is far from over. In fact, these final three weeks are the most critical of the campaign. What the McCain/Palin ticket needs to do is to genuinely address and capitalize on the tremendous level of disgust, distrust and dissatisfaction of the American people towards our government. As I wrote in my new book “Ted, White and Blue,” a May 20, 2008 Rasmussen poll found that 62% of the American public support fewer...

Leftist bloggers in an effort to denounce growing Internet claims that Barack Obama was a full-fledged member of the DSA & ACORN founded New Party, have claimed that uncovered New Party press releases were misleading. In the effort to denounce the claims on sites such as Daily Kos, fringe left sites have denounced the claims by pointing to the claims in the press releases that Danny Davis was a prominent member of the New Party. The argument by the fringe left, in an effort to suppress the story, is simply that Davis is a member of the Democratic Party and...

Barack Obama has erased traditional Republican advantages in four key bellwether counties that President George W. Bush won in 2000 and 2004, according to a new Politico/InsiderAdvantage survey. Each county is critical to the outcome in the battleground state where it is located. In Reno, Nevada's Washoe County, Obama leads McCain by a 46-45 percent margin, with six percent undecided. Obama posts a wider 50-44 percent lead with five percent undecided in Raleigh, North Carolina's Wake County, and another 6-point lead in Hillsborough County, Fla., where Tampa is located. There, he edges McCain 47-41 percent, with 11 percent undecided. Among...

A note from Radarsite: So you think you know all there is to know about Bill Ayers and his lovely wife Bernadine Dorhn, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. They were just mixed up young kids, "War Protesters", even "60's radicals. But what they did was in the end pretty harmless and they have since repented. Well, get ready for some shocking revelations from Vodka Pundit's Will Collier. Traitorous, murderous and unrepentant -- these are just a few of the words which come to mind. There are many others of course. Read the following bombshell article and ask yourself what are...

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in...

I really thought we’d put this conspiracy theory to rest over the summer, but it has arisen like a zombie yet again to suck the credibility out of the conservative blogosphere. I have had at least 40 e-mails begging me to watch this video featuring Phillip Berg, a PUMA suing Barack Obama and the Democratic Party to prove Obama’s citizenship — even though Obama has already produced a certification of live birth from Hawaii that would get him a passport any day of the week: Last week, we got tons of e-mail purporting to claim that Berg had won in...

I counted Odingagate, foreignmoneygate, Acornvotegate, foulweatherfriendsgate or Ayersgate, Rezkomoneygate, Pseudo-citizengate, Aidandabetenemiesgate, Socialistnewpartygate, RevWrightgate, what else? Looks more and more likely all these will snowball into a Huge Dark Cloud over Obama by Election day! We the People, may not have big bucks, celebrity status, but we shall arise and use the weapons of emails, faxes and blogs, to do what the liberal mainstream media has failed to do! I realize I have been neglecting my work and sleep, but it's a small price to contribute a little towards the awakening of the brainwashed and brain dead American voters! I sense...

Why won't the McCain campaign attack Obama for an association more damaging than Bill Ayers—the one with Chicago pastor Jeremiah Wright? Unlike Ayers, the Rev. Wright indisputably was one of Obama's closest friends. Obama himself has said so. Nobody in America needs to be reminded of who Wright is. As long as you've decided to go after Obama's character and associations, Wright seems like the obvious place to start. The 30-second attack ad essentially writes itself. So Jeremiah Wright probably won't figure directly in this campaign. But at some point, it would be nice to hear Obama explain his relationship...

The media are piling on against John McCain and some pundits are predicting it's all over, that Barack Obama has somehow won the election. As the old saying goes, it's not over until the fat lady sings, and it's high time for the fat lady to sing about Obama's scary agenda and the many reasons why it is too risky to elect him president. We need to hear more about ACORN, the special-interest group that would like to steal this election by registering people who are not eligible to vote, such as registering ghost voters in Nevada under the names...

I've said repeatedly that Obama lies as easily as he breathes. More proof of this has been self-evident in his "giving 95% of voters a tax-cut." (Only I guess its not as self-evident as I would like it to be - because liberals are stupid and do not look at facts when their Messiah speaks.) But here's the thing. The bottom roughly 37% of citizens do not pay federal taxes. So that means that under his plan only 58% will get a "tax-cut". Those bottom 37%ers will be getting PURE WELFARE. Stolen directly from the small business owners of America...

This is Phillip Berg in his own words describing the Case against Obama's citizenship. This is beyond important. This is the largest Fraud ever comitted in US History if its correct, and the timer is ticking for Obama... he refuses to produce any records at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA6_k3NtXZs

Here, point by point, is why this is the most powerful argument against Obama that we cna use. - Obama chose to spent more time (6 days) in Kenya campaigning for his 'cousin" Odinga than he spent fact-finding in Iraq and Afghanistan - Obama chose to support a candidate who was an avowed Communist - Obama chose to support a candidate who backed imposition of Sharia law in a country that was over 80% Christian - Obama chose to support a candidate (Odinga) who supported minority Islamists who opposed the Kenya's support of the War on Terror - Obama chose...
