The Obama campaign’s Muslim outreach director participated in a meeting in mid September that was attended by several controversial Muslim activists, NBC News has learned. The Obama campaign now concedes that was a misjudgment, and that its top Muslim staffer would not have attended the meeting if she had known the full participant list beforehand. “Would a campaign staffer have attended if they were aware of the complete list of attendees? No,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt in an email statement to NBC. The Muslim outreach meeting On September 15, newly named Muslim outreach director Minha Husaini spoke to a...

Excerpt from "Barack Obama: America’s First Marxist President?"... One of these groups allied to America’s enemies was the Weatherman, a terrorist organization formed in 1969 by the most radical elements of the larger Socialist anti-war organization Students for a Democratic Society then protesting the Vietnam War. Willing to go much farther than most in the anti-war movement to bring an end to America’s effort to defend South Vietnam, the Weatherman engaged in a campaign of bombings and terrorist attacks in the late 1960s and early 1970s against numerous targets across the country including police stations, the Capitol in Washington DC,...

I knew it back in February. Barack Obama is a COMMIE. And, yeah, that is an epithet -- a dirty word -- a contemptuous slur, even. One can not be loyal to America and be a Marxist. Last winter I made that claim based on the people Obama chose to associate with and the causes he chose to support. * Obama claimed Frank Marshall Davis as his mentor. * Obama associated with Marxist domestic terrorists Ayers and Dorhn. * Obama's pastor advocated Black Liberation Theology which is a Marxist doctrine. * Obama campaigned for Socialist Bernie Sanders. * Obama was...

There is new information on the accusations against ACORN, a group that tries to get low income people to vote. Now, more ACORN offices around the U.S. are under investigation after police raided their Las Vegas office. ACORN representatives will tell you this is all politically motivated, because they register people who would tend to vote for democrats. Election officials say they are also registering lots of people, who do not even exist. Since investigators cleaned out their offices during a Tuesday morning raid, ACORN has been working to clean up its image and saying they were identifying registration fraud...

No, Barack, Medical Care is Not a 'Right'by Dr. Lee Hieb (more by this author) Posted 10/08/2008 ET Updated 10/08/2008 ET At last night’s presidential debate, Barack Obama led the charge for government run health care by declaring in no uncertain terms that health care is a “right”. I suppose he thinks Tom and the boys accidentally left that one out of the Constitution. Or maybe it is an extension (in his mind) of the right to life. But let’s think about this a minute. When our American form of government was created to form “a more perfect union” by...

Freudenschade, baby! This is a special edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. Instead of DUmmies or KOmmies or HUffies, we are focusing on Slate senior writer, Timothy Noah, who is so confident of Obama's "victory" in November that he jumped the gun and posted the not so hidden liberal agenda out in the open. You can read his Slate ARTICLE titled, "The New Complacency," as well as an ANALYSIS of that article over at NewsBusters. So let us now join honorary DUmmie Timothy Noah in mid-gloat as he is about to reveal WAY too much in Bolshevik Red while the...

It is terrifying to see our financial system crumbling because of corruption on Wall Street, aided and abetted by government policies of too much federal spending, debt, and intervention in the economy. But it is also troubling to see our economic system of free enterprise slipping away as the candidates of both major political parties propose more federal intervention, spending and debt as solutions to these problems. Our media have an obligation to inform the American people that we are moving into a full-blown socialist economy. At this point, with the financial crisis continuing to grow, isn't it apparent that...

If there is anyone who are confused by our present day crisis and have questions with no answers, you have to look no further for what is coming to America. I'm begging for everyone to go the source url and pay particular attention to 5 minutes 30 seconds into the interview. Yuri Bezmenov prediction has reached a stage, unless we act, this Republic will be lost. I also would ask everyone to save the url from disappearing forever. As noted on the site most links are no longer available but the top link with the video of the interview, 'The...

Barack Obama called Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings on Tuesday with a promise: As president, he would revisit bankruptcy laws to give judges more leeway to prevent foreclosures. Obama didn't need to lay out a quid pro quo because the message was clear. Cummings, who voted against the financial-markets bailout on Monday, told Obama he was “open” to changing his vote but wasn’t there yet. "I have to look beyond [the bailout] to a rainbow called Obama," he said. "When you bring in the Obama factor, that's very very important." As the final high stakes vote on the bailout bill approaches...

The more that I learn about Obama it is clear that this is much more than a fight against a Democrat with many moral failings in Bill Clinton; this is the most serious attempt at a power grab by the true socialists/Marxists that this country has ever seen. The media will never adequately address these issues, and the McCain campaign can probably never truly touch certain things. So that leave it up to all of us to send e-mails, make phone calls, talk to people around the office and generally make everyone around you well aware of the fact that...

Subversives for Obama Friday, 26th September 2008 There are two American election campaigns currently running. The first, in the mainstream media, accepts Barack Obama at face value, no questions asked, while it viciously turns over Sarah Palin and her family whom it subjects to lies, smears and character assassination. The second, being conducted in the blogosphere and (with one or two notable exceptions such as the Wall Street Journal) not alluded to at all by the mainstream media, is the site of verbal warfare between Camp Obama and bloggers who are practising journalism as it used to be practised –...

One of Obama's Greatest Hits. He has said so many idiotic and disturbing things that it's hard to keep track of his Marxist lunacy. This will serve as a reminder. Perhaps, barry should start consuming massive quantities of Chinese milk and candy, that's one thing he could do to save this country.

ContrarianCommentary.com invites volunteers to join "Lost Obama" research effort in Hawaii. Andy Martin says a critical phase of Obama's life has been ignored by the mainstream media. ..."We have a plethora of leads for Obama in Hawaii, and we have numerous stories with a Hawaii angle," says Martin. "We have been forced to do the job the mainstream media refuse to do. The Internet rules! ...We often call ourselves #1 in campaign commentary, analysis and investigation. Our cutting edge analysis of William Ayers and Barack Obama has received notice as the first attempt to create a systematic timeline of the...

Today, in a piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled, “Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools,” I offer a report on my research into the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), an education foundation once headed by Barack Obama. As I explained in “Chicago Annenberg Challenge Shutdown?” the Richard J. Daley Library of the University of Illinois at Chicago first agreed to grant, then abruptly denied me, access to the files of this foundation. Subsequently, the Daley Library again reversed their decision and made the CAC files available. As I note in today’s Journal piece, I’ve conveyed the...

In a surprising admission, Barack Obama’s 40-page so-called “rebuttal” to Jerome Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation, acknowledges for the first time that the senator once had a personal relationship with identified Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis, a key high-level operative in a Soviet-sponsored network in Hawaii. But the 40-page report, advertised and sold to the media as a refutation of Corsi’s “lies,” doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make the black revolutionary writer and “poet” look like...

Election '08: Barack Obama claims he worked for a "small group of churches" as a community organizer. In fact, he was hired by a radical Alinskyite group, and Saul Alinsky's own son has outed him. Buried last month in the Boston Globe's letters to the editor was a three-paragraph letter congratulating Obama for putting on a great show at the Democratic National Convention. That open-stadium rally in Denver, with it's packed crowd and perfectly timed chanting of key phrases, "had all the elements of the perfectly organized event, Saul Alinsky-style," opined the letter-writer. The reference was to the hard-boiled Chicago...

The Obama File 28 Top US Communist-Elect Obama “Go On to Change the World” by Trevor Loudon, posted September 13, 2008, on his blog, The New Zeal, is cross-posted at RBO with the author’s permission. Loudon’s first Obama File was posted January 12, 2008. Libero Della Piana is New York State chairman of the Communist Party USA, former national organiser of the party and a member of the CPUSA’s 140 strong National Council. Like virtually all of the CPUSA’s several thousand members and supporters, Della Piana is working to elect Barack Obama to the US Presidency. Following the CPUSA “line”...

In her game-changing convention speech, Sarah Palin took a swipe at Obama for having been nothing more in his life than a ‘community organiser’. This prompted the Obama campaign to issue a pained defence of community organisation as a way of promoting social change ‘from the bottom up’. The impression is that community organising is a worthy if woolly and ultimately ineffectual grassroots activity. This is to miss something of the greatest importance: that in the world of Barack Obama, community organisers are a key strategy in a different game altogether; and the name of that game is revolutionary Marxism....

WILLIAM AYERS HAS BEEN THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE RISE OF BARACK OBAMA AYERS HAS DESIGNED AN OBAMA CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE WHICH IS BASED ON AYERS' THEORIES OF MAOIST REVOLUTION. THE CHICAGO VERSION OF "FRIENDS" OBAMA LIED TO ABC NEWS AND A NATIONAL TV AUDIENCE (NEW YORK, NY)(September 9, 2008) Nailing down the relationship between "mad bomber" William Ayers and Barack Obama has been the greatest challenge of the 2008 presidential campaign. The second biggest challenge of 2008 has been deciphering and understanding Barack Obama's campaign structure. His campaign is unlike any other presidential campaign in U. S. history. Obama's operation is...

Election '08: Barack Obama has joined forces with a white socialist he calls a "good friend" — the Rev. Jim Wallis, founder of "Sojourners." He too believes in "liberation theology," sans the black nationalism. In fact, Wallis is the white version of Jeremiah Wright, sans the black rage.In addition to publishing "Sojourners" magazine, Wallis runs Call to Renewal — a network of liberal churches and activist groups "committed to ending poverty and racism." Wright once joined Wallis at the U.S. Capitol in an anti-poverty "preach-in" sponsored by Call to Renewal. Wallis and his Washington-based operation have essentially replaced Wright and...

V.I. Lenin, the original community organizer* * * * * Oh, the liberal apoplexy. The hard left has responded with delicious howls of indignation to GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's belittling of 'community organizing.' More on that in a moment, but just in case you were on Mars and missed it, at the Republican convention Wednesday night, the Alaska governor said: Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what...

After his 2004 election as Illinois Senator Barack Obama clearly stated he was not qualified to run on a national ticket in 2008. Reporter: Why have you ruled that out - running nationally? Obama: I am a firm believer is knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. And, I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the senate. Now there are some people who are comfortable doing that. I’m not one of those people. Perhaps Obama can share...

Don’t confuse the title with “environmental movement.” Heaven knows Democrats aren’t about to forego those big SUV’s, yachts, jets, and multi- fireplace mansions. Offsetting carbon credits is up to you “little people” purchasing a five dollar light bulb (which is umpteen times more polluting). Actually, it will take quite a few of you “little people” installing green-pocket bulbs to offset the 100 gallons of gasoline per hour Al Goresky’s new houseboat burns...

One of the leading organizations working to overthrow Marxism and restore Liberty in America, FreeRepublic.com, announces a drive to register 1,000,000 new Republican voters to defeat Barack Hussein Obomber and Joe Imbiden. Heck, if Moveon.org can register 500,000 budding young socialist abortionists to support their Marxist messiah, I don't see why FreeRepublic.com shouldn't register at least twice as many young God-fearing, pro-life, Liberty-loving American patriots to defeat their godless leftist takeover attempt. Click here to register: http://www.gop.com/ActionCenter/RegisterToVote/RegistrationInformation.aspx

I have come to realization that when I throw out the term Marxist or socialist, the majority of those eligible to vote haven’t a clue as to what that means thanks to our dumbed down public school system that’s been in place for the past 40 years. I know that most of you who read my posts understand these terms, you understand what’s at stake, unfortunately though, there are too many who don’t, especially the younger class, the twenty and most thirty somethings. And then there’s the class who just don’t follow politics at all know nothing of what Marxism...

Barack Hussein Obama is no bambi, he learned dirty politics from the pros in Chicago's political underworld. Apparently, both Obama and Biden have ties to that famous lunatic, George Soros and his one-world view. As more and more information about Obama's own statements, his choices of activities and people with whom to associate himself after graduation from Harvard Law School, one aspect of him becomes abundantly clear...he is NO patriot of the United States of America. If he is not a patriot, then what is he...what is still unknown that is being kept hidden in his closet?The Chicago-type strong-arm tactics...

Yesterday, Michelle, my Bell, Obama quoted her husband quoting the radical Marxist Saul Alinsky in his book "Rules for Radicals" (The book is dedicated to Satan) This didn't go unnoticed by the Geezers on AARP.

Buried in that 8,000 (!) word NYT magazine article about Obama's economic plan that I mentioned yesterday, is this bit flagged by Geraghty at Campaign Spot: “If you talk to Warren [Buffet], he’ll tell you his preference is not to meddle in the economy at all — let the market work, however way it’s going to work, and then just tax the heck out of people at the end and just redistribute it,� Obama said. “That way you’re not impeding efficiency, and you’re achieving equity on the back end.� He continued by saying that he thought there was some merit...

(Exerpts) Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a skirt is Chief Executive Officer of this month’s Democratic National Convention in Denver. ...While the media hounded Wright for his anti-American rants and while presidential hopeful Senator Barack Hussein Obama divorced him as his personal pastor, Obama’s head will be crowned by Leah Daughtry, who ardently believes in the same Marxist “Black Liberation Theology” preached by Wright. ...“But wait there’s more! This New York-born Pentecostal minister is not only the head of their religious outreach, she’s the CEO of the Democratic National Convention. That’s right, the CEO of the DNC is a MARXIST! Folks…do...

This afternoon the California Assembly debated SB 1322, the bill that will allow Communists to teach in public schools and use government property for their meetings. CRFI has actively opposed the measure as we recognize the inherent danger in allowing Communists—those who seek the violent overthrow of our democratic republic—access to the impressionable minds of young students. In an attempt to draw attention away from the Communism-accommodating provisions in the bill, author Senator Alan Lowenthal amended the bill to also exempt from government “loyalty oaths” those with religious beliefs opposing such oaths. Republican legislators also recognize SB 1322’s danger and,...

One of many sayings I remember from my grandmother is, "If the hiss doesn't tell you it's a snake, then the fact that it slithers on its belly in the dirt should." And to that point, if the company Barack Obama has kept (read the dirt he has aligned himself with) doesn't tell you he is a Marxist reparationist, then the words from his mouth, i.e., his hiss, certainly should. Obama repeatedly told the NAACP, "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where 'economic justice' is being served. And as president, we'll ensure that 'economic...

In a strange development, supporters of Barack Obama's childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, are openly debating the nature and depth of Davis's commitment to the Communist Party and his relationship with the Democratic candidate. The debate has gotten heated. This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obama's official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship. Davis was identified as a Communist Party member by various investigative committees and acknowledged his party membership in a private letter obtained by John Edgar Tidwell, who was sympathetic to...

-Throughout the 2008 campaign, Obama has made a point of refusing the liberal label. While running for Congress against Bobby Rush in late 1999 and early 2000, however, Obama showed no such compunction. At a November 1999 candidate forum, the Hyde Park Herald reported that "there was little to distinguish" the candidates, who "struggled to differentiate themselves" ideologically. Acknowledged Obama, "[W]e're all on the liberal wing of the Democratic party." -The most interesting characterization came from Obama himself, who laid out his U.S. Senate campaign strategy for the Defender in 2003: "[A]s you combine a strong African-American base with progressive...

The political correctness thought police won’t tolerate what you’re about to read. I’m throwing the “bogus” flag upon the presidential bid of Marxist-Socialist turned Democrat Senator from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama. Somewhere around 75 or so years ago, from out of nowhere a stealth politician arose. He too sought the nomination for his nation’s highest office; refreshingly different from other politicians of the era. This Austrian born wallpaper hanger’s background is too much like our Illinois lawyer’s. Both reared in single parent households; neither brought much of a resume on the campaign trail. The one hung wallpaper the other hung...

Agence France-Presse WASHINGTON -- Republican White House hopeful John McCain said Friday that his Democratic rival Barack Obama is further to the left than the only Socialist US senator. Asked by a reporter for the Kansas City Star newspaper if McCain, 71, believed Obama was an "extremist," McCain replied: "That's his voting record. All I said was his voting record... is more to the left than the announced Socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont," McCain said according to a video of the interview posted online. "Do you think he's a socialist, Barack Obama?" the interviewer asked....

The stunning comments from Democrat Sen. Barack Obama that the United States needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar United States Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force have mysteriously disappeared from published transcripts of the speech. In the comments, Obama confirmed the U.S. "cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set." Campaign officials have declined to return any of a series of WND telephone calls over several days requesting a comment on the situation. Nor have they posted a transcript...

It has been 3 years since my last appearance on Fox News Channel, but I have been asked to appear on tomorrow morning's early edition of Fox and Friends concerning race, the election, the New Yorker and Barack H. Obama's Speech before the leftist NAACP.

Apparently Andrew Sullivan wants to stigmatize scrutiny of part of Barack Obama's life story. In his Atlantic.com "Daily Dish" column "That Black Man's A Commie", Sullivan equates questions about Barack Obama's Communist Party ties with old segregationist claims that Martin Luther King was a communist. He does in an article posted perhaps coincidentally (Sullivan does not link or mention my article) one day after my July 8 article, "What Barack Obama learned from the Communist Party". But the deep and profound connections between the Communist Party, USA and Barack Obama are serious parts of his life story. How many of...

Obama showed his gratitude by going to socialist conferences and selecting Marxist professors as his friends in college. Barack Obama’s patriotic tour has run into a snag. More evidence of communist backing for the candidate has surfaced. The latest to emerge publicly in Obama’s camp is Joelle Fishman, the chairman of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) Political Action Commission. In a column titled, “Big political shifts are underway,” Fishman says that Obama could lead “a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right” this November and that he is “ready to listen” to the “left and progressive voters” backing him. Fishman makes...

This post is sure to incite much controversy, mostly because it’s the truth and the truth without a legitimate rebuttal is attacked with non-substantive vitriol. So, who’s the racist? That would be all you blacks (I don’t subscribe to African-American, if you’re black and a U.S. citizen, you’re an American, period) who plan on voting for Barack Obama for no other reason other than he’s black. You are so desparate for the symbolism of having the first black President, you refuse to look past the color of his skin and deny delivery of who Barack is. Your eyes and ears...

June 30, 2008: The South Korea government is beginning to realize why there is such a vigorous anti-U.S., pro-North Korea movement in a country that was devastated by a North Korean invasion 58 years ago. The reason is that most (OK, 51 percent) of South Korean teenagers know little about the Korean War (1950-53). After all, this was their grand-parents, or great-grand-parents war. The reason for the ignorance is the education system, dominated by leftists who have, over the decades, played down the unprovoked and savage North Korean invasion in 1950. The South Korean Communist Party was outlawed in 1946,...

As Barack Obama broadens his outreach to evangelical voters, one of the movement’s biggest names, James Dobson, accuses the likely Democratic presidential nominee of distorting the Bible and pushing a “fruitcake interpretation” of the Constitution. The criticism, to be aired Tuesday on Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio program, comes shortly after an Obama aide suggested a meeting at the organization’s headquarters here, said Tom Minnery, senior vice president for government and public policy at Focus on the Family.

<p>Lake became a laughingstock for expressing doubts as to whether Alger Hiss, the founder of the United Nations and a top State Department official, was a communist spy. Lake’s doubts led to a controversy that caused him to withdraw his nomination as Clinton’s CIA director.</p>

Residents from the mining town of Kadoma awoke Friday morning to the sound of Zanu PF thugs demanding they pull down their satellite dishes or risk having their homes burnt down. Frightened residents hastily took down their satellite dishes after the Zanu PF mobs moved around the suburbs to enforce their demands. They accused foreign news stations, accessed via satellite, of misinforming Zimbabweans on the political situation in the country. A woman told us that all the men from nearby Venus Mine were forced to join the Zanu PF mobs in ‘a war against the residents of Kadoma.’ Two trucks...

Squeamish Marxist Democrats avert your eyes. I am about to swat you on the nose with a rolled-up Che Guevara poster. The tapestry of a carefully woven biography of Barack Hussein Obama is a cloth of deception and self-promotion this candidate has been weaving since childhood called in Arabic “Taqiyyah”, adapting and amending his life story to fit his circumstances.

The Democratic Socialist Party of the United States of America Some people think I'm too strident an anti-leftist. Some people say I'm wrong to place the Democrats on the continuum of the left, with their position on that continuum nothing more than a measure of the distance they are from socialism's ideological provenance.Sorry, but the Democrats are proving that belief right more and more each day:House Democrats call for nationalization of refineriesHouse Democrats responded to President's Bush's call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things,...

James Lewis at The American Thinker: Conservatives must act [...] Six months before November 2008, many conservatives are down in the dumps. John McCain is behind in the money race. George Will thinks we are doomed --- an amazing thing to say, half a year before a toss-up election. Even Rush is in a sulk about John McCain. But the stakes are higher than they have been in the last fifty years. No major US political party has ever nominated a radical Leftist before --- and Obama can't hide his real loyalties. Even Bill Clinton was more of a 'moderate'...
