If a Presidential candidate was not only an enabler of racists and anti-Semites, but also an actual racist, would it be worth $10.17 to know that before you vote? $10.17 is the Amazon.com price for Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father, and used copies can be purchased for considerably less. As opposed to the smears and urban legends that are circulating about Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin, the following quotes from Dreams From My Father (paperback, ISBN 978-1-4000-8277-3) all have page numbers so you can verify for yourself that Barack Obama wrote this material. If you can find the book at a...

It is well known that Barack Obama associates openly with prominent racists and anti-Semites. Most recently, the National "Jewish" "Democratic" Council (we use quotes because it has nothing to do with any Jews or Democrats we  know) invited Alcee Hastings, who was impeached and removed from office for perjury and corruption, to a panel discussion. Hastings denounced gun owners and hunters--"bitter" small town people who "cling to guns and religion," to use Obama's words, or "white trash" per Obama's moderated Web site at barackobama.com--as racists and anti-Semites. Obama meanwhile belonged to a racist church that gave a standing ovation to...

Per "Florida congressman points to Palin to rally Jews to Obama," Rep. Alcee Hastings denounced hunters and gun owners as racists and anti-Semites, and by implication beer-swilling NASCAR-watching pickup-truck-driving redneck white trash. This is consistent with Obama's own description of Pennsylvanians as "bitter" small down people who "cling to guns and religion," and the common reference to working people as "white trash" on Obama's own Web site. Rep. Alcee Hastings told an audience of Jewish Democrats Wednesday that they should be wary of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin because “anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about...

"WASHINGTON (NNPA) - “We’ll never have this opportunity again,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, taking to the streets for what appeared to be an emergency cross country tour in September. He hopes to rejuvenate the Obama excitement that some say has waned since the Democratic National Convention last month."

Obama Endorsed an Anti-Semitic Hate Group, Solicited Another’s Endorsement was posted to Digg yesterday, and it has already gotten 91 Diggs. The responses of Obama's supporters--some even identify themselves with Obama's campaign logo--show unequivocally that the Obama campaign is totally defenseless against this issue. General Patton warned his soldiers very sternly against firing a rifle at a tank. It does the tank no harm, and it also tells its occupants that you don't have an anti-tank weapon. The bleating of Obama's defenders at Digg show similarly that Obama can offer no defense whatsoever for his endorsement of Al Sharpton and...

For a decade, Tom DeLay ruthlessly enforced Republican rule in Washington with such vigour that he was nicknamed "The Hammer". But the party's former leader in the House of Representatives will this month launch a national grassroots movement to combat the liberal activists who he believes outfoxed and outmanoeuvred Republicans to win the 2006 mid-term elections. Mr DeLay, who revelled in his reputation as a no-holds-barred Washington operator as the party's chief whip and then majority leader from 1995 to 2005, aims to instil an army of conservatives across the country with his political street-fighting skills. Tom DeLay: 'I have...

National “Jewish” Democratic Council also whitewashed this vicious racist and anti-Semite The following image is self-explanatory, as are Barack Obama’s words: “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.” The National Action Network, while under the personal leadership and supervision of “community organizer” Al Sharpton, screamed racial and anti-Semitic epithets, and arson threats that were later put into effect, at a Jewish-owned store in Harlem. A Google search on “Sharpton” and “Freddy’s Fashion...

Rev. Al is not happy with the Clintons. With the Democratic National Convention abuzz with anticipation over Hillary Clinton’s speech to it tonight, civil rights activist Al Sharpton says she and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, cannot afford anything less than an extraordinary effort to help Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy ... Otherwise, Sharpton warned today, their reputations within the party -- once sterling -- could be permanently tarnished. “It can damage their legacy in the long run if they don’t get a grip pretty quick,” Sharpton told The Times.

This is the second piece in our series on Barack Obama’s dishonest campaign financing methods, and his open association with racists, anti-Semites, and Catholic-hating bigots. A compilation of links and references appears at http://www.stentorian.com/Obama. The picture below is from an April 2007 meeting of Al Sharpton’s National Action Network: a racist and anti-Semitic hate organization as demonstrated by its conduct at Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned store in Harlem. Obama endorsed Sharpton and the NAN as follows: “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important...

The Democratic Party and the mainstream media work together on behalf of terrorists. That fact has been extensively covered in this column. But that working combination does damage in many areas of national life, one of the most important being in the area of race relations and civil rights. The Democratic Party, the mainstream media and black leaders keep identifying racism as a central problem in our society and they thus manage to create a real and effective roadblock to ending any problems caused by past racism and improving the life and well-being of blacks and minority groups. The Democratic...

Federal prosecutors have dropped their criminal probe of fiscal irregularities and tax fraud by the Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. Lawyers for the civil rights activist said that means Sharpton's tax tangle won't result in an indictment or jail time, or even an appearance before a grand jury, though he's agreed to pay millions in back taxes. It also means the feds aren't pursuing allegations the civil rights leader extorted contributions from corporations in exchange for not protesting against them. Prosecutors would not comment, but law enforcement sources confirmed that the criminal probe is over. Bottom line:...

Sharpton 'Very Disappointed' With Jesse Jackson Calls For Public Figures To Be 'Consistent' NEW YORK (CBS) ― Rev. Al Sharpton spoke out Thursday against Rev. Jesse Jackson's use of the N-word that was caught on tape while preparing for an interview for Fox News. Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said on CBS News' The Early Show on Thursday that he was "very disappointed" by this latest revelation. "I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love," Sharpton said. "I think that we have to be consistent. We have...

None other than the Rev. Al Sharpton has come to Milwaukee. Well, at least his voice is here. Sharpton’s syndicated radio show recently began broadcasting from noon to 3 p.m. weekdays on WMCS-AM (1290). That’s probably welcome news for some in town; for others, not so much. For some Milwaukeeans, Sharpton is part of the unholy trinity — along with Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson — of outspoken black men who never let white America forget its sad racial past. To others, it’s a welcome relief to have a nationally syndicated African-American radio program with a political focus during daytime...

Anderson Cooper was talking last night about fundamentalist Christian attacks on Barack Obama with minister Al Sharpton, author Roland Martin and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. The talk turned toward religious tolerance, and suddenly Sharpton was outing CNN's prettiest anchor as, gosh, some kind of sinner? "I might think what you do, Anderson, is going to put you in hell, but I'm going to defend your right to get there," Sharpton said. Then everyone laughed, because virulent, institutionalized homophobia is hilarious, and Anderson blushed and managed to say something dignified, while probably secretly wishing he was officially gay so...

Again? Race Comment 'Disturbs' Sharpton By STEVE FINK, WCBSTV.COM NEW YORK (CBS) ― It appears "shock jock" Don Imus may not have learned his lesson following last year's "nappy-headed ho" debacle. In an audio file of the Monday, June 23, edition of his talk radio program, "Imus In The Morning," heard in New York on WABC-AM, Imus made what some consider a questionable comment during a discussion about oft-troubled NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones, who wants to drop his nickname. When Imus' co-host Turner Wolf informed Imus that the suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback had been arrested a slew of times...

The Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network has 36 chapters across the country but has mostly failed to register in states that require nonprofits to file public records, The Post has learned. Only two chapters, those in Washington state and Nevada, have registered with the appropriate agency.

Big corporations give him money. Presidential candidates seek his endorsement. He has influential friends in Congress and the governor's mansion.  The Rev. Al Sharpton has emerged over the past decade as perhaps the nation's most prominent civil rights leader, a status that was demonstrated again this week when he led protests against police brutality that briefly shut down six of Manhattan's major bridges and tunnels.   But he still carries baggage from his early days as a fire-breathing agitator: Government records obtained by The Associated Press indicate that Sharpton and his business entities owe nearly $1.5 million in overdue taxes...

Almost 50 companies - including PepsiCo, General Motors, Wal-Mart, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase - and some labor unions sponsored Sharpton's National Action Network annual conference in April. Terrified of negative publicity, fearful of a consumer boycott or eager to make nice with the civil-rights activist, CEOs write checks, critics say, to NAN and Sharpton - who brandishes the buying power of African-American consumers. In some cases, they hire him as a consultant.

Barack Obama: HATE We Can Believe In It is Barack Obama, not white voters, who has chosen to make this election an exercise not only in racial but also religious divisiveness, and even gender divisions. To paraphrase Martin Luther King, the problem is not the color of Barack Obama’s skin, but the content of his character or lack thereof. The problem is not that Barack Obama is of mixed race, but that he surrounds himself with racists, anti-Semites, Catholic-hating bigots, and even misogynists. Whites (and Jews, Catholics, and women) who refuse to vote for this phony smile on top of...

Rev. Al Sharpton plans Bell protest at Yankee Stadium for All-Star Game BY JOTHAM SEDERSTROM DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Monday, June 9th 2008, 4:00 AM The Rev.

"We have plans to do the same at the All-Star Game," Sharpton said. "We...

I haven’t heard one fellow yet say, “I went to medical school all because my gang members encouraged me to do so while we were breaking into the gas station.” While some people don’t want to hear what I’m saying, others have said: Why don’t blacks listen to Bill Cosby and not Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. But I say, don’t pit me against Jesse and Al because they speak the truth. The things that Jesse has come out for and he’s been against, these are things I’m talking about, too. Yes, there is such a thing as institutionalize racism.

No complaints from “Jewish” Democrats while Obama promotes and enables anti-Semites, racists, and Catholic-hating bigots Linda Berg of the National Jewish Democratic Council (double oxymoron, there is very little Jewish or Democratic about it) wrote the following in “It took a lot for McCain to Finally Reject Hagee’s Endorsement.” It took a You Tube vido of Rev. John Hagee proclaiming that Hitler and the Holocaust had been part of G*d’s plan to get the Jews out of Europe and into Israel for McCain yesterday to finally reject his endorsement. We understand where Hagee is coming from, not that we like...

May 24, 2008 -- Did the Rev. Al Sharpton try to extort $500,000 from a leading rapper by threatening him with protest marches unless he paid up? Sharpton calls the accusation "absurd," but that's exactly what Bruce Williams, former right-hand man to Dr. Dre, reportedly charges in a new book. Who's telling the truth? Sharpton's record in that regard isn't reassuring; the allegation has a familiar ring to it - and it comes amid new questions about the rev's personal finances. Williams says the demand for the half-mil involved what was termed Sharpton's displeasure with vulgar rap lyrics as well...

Politico.com has a .pdf copy of Michelle Robinson Obama’s thesis in sociology. [http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html] The content is entirely consistent with Barack Obama’s Black identity politics, if not outright Black Nationalist politics, as described in Dreams From My Father, as well as Michelle Obama’s statement that she is proud of our country only when her husband, who can’t be bothered to show respect for our National Anthem, is running for President. It is no surprise that efforts were made to conceal this thesis from the public until after the election. Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind...

Furthermore, Obama does not deserve the vote of any Catholic, Jew, or self-respecting African-American. The reason has nothing to do with the color of his skin, and everything to do with the content (or lack thereof) of his character. ...It is easy to imagine white people, and especially Jewish white people, reacting to this picture the way most African-Americans would react to a candidate posing arm in arm with someone in a sheet and hood in front of a burning cross. ...Hillary Clinton added, and quite correctly, that she “found how Sen. Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans,...

The law finally caught up with Al Capone, the early 20th Century gangster who terrorized Chicago, when the IRS put him behind bars for tax evasion. They have been living up to their fame ever since. Most recently, Wesley Snipes, of Blade glory, received a three-year prison sentence for trying to cheat the government out of its well-deserved tax dollars. Now none other than the Rev. Al Sharpton is on their black list. The famous civil rights leader and his nonprofit group, the National Action Network, owe $1.5 million in back taxes and associated fees. The NAN has been “negotiating”...

NEW YORK, (AP) -- Gov. David Paterson pledged to examine undercover police conduct on Thursday, a day after more than 200 people were arrested protesting the acquittal of three detectives involved in the shooting death of an unarmed man. Paterson said he understood the activists' frustrations as he stood with the slain man's fiancee and the Rev. Al Sharpton, who were among the demonstrators arrested while disrupting evening rush hour traffic. But the governor stopped short of endorsing their actions. "No civil servant can condone civil disobedience," Paterson said, but he added: "They felt that they had no other choice...

Danbury (AP) -- Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton told a Danbury church congregation that the immigration policy in the city is unfair.

NEW YORK - Demonstrators plan to pray on their knees and be arrested for civil disobedience to protest the acquittals of three police officers in the death of an unarmed man shot on his wedding day, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Saturday. The civil rights activist, who has promised to "close this city down" to protest last month's verdict, said protesters would stage a "pray-in" Wednesday at half a dozen places in the city, including the police headquarters. Hundreds of angry people marched through Harlem a day after the officers were cleared in the November 2006 death of Sean Bell,...

The Rev. Al Sharpton is denying that he has a "heated" phone call with Barack Obama yesterday over the presidential candidates warning against violent protests over the Sean Bell verdict, as reported by the Post. "Everything stated in the New York Post regarding yesterday's conversation between Senator Obama and Reverend Sharpton is false, and is either a fabrication of the Post journalists who wrote the story or the supposed unnamed source for the story," according to a statement from Charlie King, acting national director for the National Action Network.

Barack Obama made a call for nonviolence in the aftermath of the Sean Bell verdict - infuriating the Rev. Al Sharpton, who accused the presidential candidate of trying to "grandstand in front of white people," sources told The Post. I think that is part of Jeremiah Wright's view of Obama as well: he will never forgive him for winning so many white votes, and breaking the pattern and ideology of victimhood and marginalization that forged Wright's identity. This dynamic is very powerful in minority circles. In the gay world, for example, the younger generation faced enormous hostility at first in...

Inside the courtroom, family members of Bell were visibly distraught over the verdict, which some city leaders warned could spark protests citywide. Bell’s mother cried when the not-guilty verdict was announced. Hundreds of police officers surrounded the perimeter of the courthouse in Queens as the verdict was read. When news of the decision reached the droves of Bell family supporters gathered outside of the courthouse, tempers flared. Chants of “off the cops that kill our kids,” rang out. While there was some pushing and shoving, it did not appear that any violent acts were committed.
